Cliff Quote #699
Quote from Cliff in My Son, the Father
Cliff: You know, uh, you know, all my life I've, uh, kind of wanted to be a stand-up comedian. You know, uh, oh, here, here it is. How's this for an idea? Comedy night at Cheers. Seven nights a week, six shows a night. "The cock-eyed mind of Cliff Clavin."
Frasier: So you're saying it'd be just like any other night except for the mike?
Cliff: Yeah, yeah! Hey, hey, what to you say there, Becs? Huh?
Rebecca: Well, I guess you could do your comedy here, Cliff. But you know what? I mean, wouldn't you rather do it at a professional comedy club?
Cliff: Huh?
Rebecca: You know, the Laugh Tureen in Kenmore Square has an open mike night.
Cliff: Oh, yeah.
Rebecca: As a matter of fact, I think it's tonight.
Cliff: Hey, that's a great idea, Rebecca. I'll just, uh, yeah, spend the afternoon polishing up my act and, uh, showcase it there tonight. Oh, why waste all this stuff on you guys? See you later.
Rebecca: And you people think I'm so stupid.

Quote from Carla
Carla: [whimpering] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Frasier: Carla, you've been leaping out of your skin every time there's a clap of thunder. Surely you know it's simply static electricity being discharged into the atmosphere.
Carla: You are so naive!
Frasier: Carla, you've got to calm down.
Carla: You don't get it! I mocked God! And this is not like getting in trouble with your parents or your teachers or your boss. I mean, this is God! Famine, flood, pestilence, disease. Who do you think came up with that? [thunder rumbling] [moans] He is just toying with me now.
Frasier: Carla, you can't believe that God has a personal vendetta against you.
Carla: Look at my kids. Look at my husbands. Look at my life. What do you think?
Lilith: Uh, I don't think any major religion still propounds the theory of a vindictive God, who hurls thunderbolts and takes personal vengeance on people's transgressions. [thunder roaring] I believe that's for you.
Quote from Lilith
Frasier: You know, Carla never ceases to amaze me. She has a strange mixture of fervent religious faith and primitive superstition. I suppose it's a result of our ever-changing, mixed-up culture.
Lilith: I don't know that you should blame Carla's belief system on culture, Frasier. The need to worship higher intelligence is an innate and universal phenomenon. In fact, in recent weeks, it's become clear that my lab rats worship me as a goddess. I must confess, I don't discourage them.
Frasier: That's very interesting, dear. Apropos of nothing, uh, how many vacation days do you have coming?
Lilith: I don't know. Uh... 80, 85.
Frasier: Well, what do you say we cash 50, you spend a little time with, uh, some, oh I don't know, some people?
Quote from John Allen Hill
John: Ah, Miss Tortelli, nice to see you again.
Carla: What're you doing down here, Hill? Hope you're not here to ask me for a date.
John: Date? Is that what you call it? I think we skipped dating, Miss Tortelli, and went straight to the fall of Rome. Tell me, is the rumor true your son's going to be a priest?
Carla: Yeah, what of it?
John: Well, I didn't realize you were Catholic. The only time I've heard you say anything remotely religious was that night a few weeks ago when you called me Zeus.
Carla: The hell I did.
John: You want me to run the videotape?
