‘A Man, a Plan and a Gal: Julia’
Season 11, Episode 2 - Aired September 23, 2003
As Frasier tries to not let his nitpicking get in the way of another relationship, Niles, Daphne and Martin are forced to spend a horrendous evening with Julia.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: With this bottle, I would like to both commemorate and apologize for this evening. Daphne, Niles, this should have been your evening, and I selfishly monopolized every moment of it.
Niles: Frasier.
Frasier: Not yet, Niles.
Quote from Niles
Niles: Yes, Frasier and I have had many a chat about the difference between what he does and genuine psychiatry.
Julia: Yeah, big difference. I mean, at least his advice is free, not like those quacks who charge 200 bucks an hour to whine about their childhoods. I mean, what a racket that is!
Niles: Frasier, may I see you in the kitchen?
Quote from Martin
Martin: You know, if you're really down about this Julia thing, you can come with me and Eddie to the circus. We're really going to the V-E-T, but if I say that, he won't get in the car.
Frasier: Thanks anyway, Dad. I'll just see you at Niles and Daphne's for dinner, all right. Maybe I'll take in a movie.
Martin: Oh, what are you going to go see?
Frasier: Well, there's this new Russian film in town about a Crimean War vet.
[Eddie runs off down the corridor]
Martin: No, Eddie! [to Frasier] Would it have killed you to say Crimean War circus?
Quote from Martin
Julia: Two words: C-section. My sister's about your size, and when she had her kid it blew out the whole region.
Martin: Can I have cereal, too?
Quote from Daphne
Daphne: So, how do you want to make the announcement?
Niles: Uh, well, Frasier's on his way over. We could...
Daphne: No! He's a blabbermouth. Let's have him and your dad over for dinner tonight, and we can tell them at the same time.
Niles: If you already had a plan, why did you ask me how I wanted to do it?
Daphne: Well, because if you'd have had the same idea, then I could have agreed with it, which would have given you the illusion of control. ... The waiting room had "Cosmo."
Quote from Niles
Niles: I have just the quotation for the beginning of the announcement. It's from Robert Burns: "Th' expectant wee-things, toddlin', stacher through To meet their dad, wi' - filchterin' noise and glee" Moving, eh?
Daphne: [getting up] Yes, but not just because of the poem, I'm late for a hair appointment.
Quote from Martin
Daphne: Let's hope Frasier's oven is more reliable than ours.
Martin: Well, it serves you right for getting such a fancy one.
Niles: Oh, it's just temperamental. My Gaggenau is German-engineered. It probably needs more power than my building's old wiring can give it.
Martin: Leave it to the Germans. Even their appliances crave power.
Quote from Niles
Daphne: Let's hope Frasier checks his messages after the movie. Or he'll be headed over to our place.
Niles: Yes, well I'm sure he will. It's just as well not to have him here while we're cooking. I can't stand his backseat basting.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Well, at least this little delivery will cheer me up. My new Frette hand towels have arrived. Ha, ha. Direct from Italy, I give you the spugna con frangia, with the tulle lace insert, huh?
Martin: Sounds fancy, am I allowed to dry my hands on them?
Frasier: Well, you may miss the luxurious feel of your trouser fronts, but yes.
Quote from Frasier
Niles: The minute you develop feelings for someone, you get scared and find some way to sabotage things.
Frasier: I'd like to strike you, of course, but you speak the truth.
