‘Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do’
Season 5, Episode 11 - Aired January 13, 1998
Frasier and Niles are worried when Daphne admits she found an engagement ring in Martin's drawers.
Quote from Frasier
Niles: He has a right to know about this.
Frasier: But we already told him we weren't involved in the investigation, we can't just tell him now we were lying.
Niles: Maybe there's some way to impart the information without explaining how we came by it. You know, just sort of drop it casually in the conversation.
Frasier: And how would that go? "Oh, Dad, you going to the Sherry Ex-Husband Convention this year?"
Quote from Niles
Frasier: Besides that, you know, Dad may know everything already.
Niles: I think we need to find that out. How would we feel if we let Dad marry this woman, and in a year's time he's tossed aside like Danny Mitchell.
Frasier: Who's that?
Niles: Page five, engaged but never married.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: That'd make a good topic to discuss on my show, Niles. You know, the hurdles that are faced by people with multiple marriages.
Niles: Of course, the hard part would be rounding up enough people who've been married a significant number of times. Do you know anyone?
Frasier: No, I don't.
Daphne: You know, Mrs. Krabs upstairs-
Frasier: [after silencing Daphne] How about you, Dad?
Quote from Daphne
Frasier: Well, that was fruitless.
Daphne: I'll tell you one thing I'm sure of...
Frasier: Yes?
Daphne: Oh, I'm allowed to talk now, am I?
Quote from Niles
Martin: Oh, come on. You got this from the investigator. You did hire him, didn't you?
Frasier: All right, I guess there's no use denying it. Yes, yes, we did hire him. Although the word "we" is not entirely accurate.
Niles: Frasier, I am shocked!
Frasier: Oh, shut up, Niles!
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Look, Dad, we were just concerned about you. We know about the engagement ring.
Martin: My ring? Which one of you went through my drawers?
Frasier: Right, now, pointing fingers is not going to do us any good.
Martin: What the hell is the matter with you two?
Frasier: She did it!
Quote from Daphne
Daphne: Do you see what I get for confiding in you two blabbermouths. The next time I find something interesting in your father's underwear drawer, I'm just gonna sit on it.
Quote from Frasier
Daphne: He forgot the ring. This is going to be embarrassing for him. I suppose I could take it down to him.
Frasier: No, no, Daphne. I should do that. It will give me an excellent opportunity to show him just how happy I am that he's marrying Sherry.
Daphne: That would be very nice.
Frasier: Yes. I just can't figure out why he would propose in a place like McGinty's. It seems like such a shabby setting. Well, I guess he was just trying to match the ring.
Quote from Sherry
Sherry: So I told her that you and I would take a trip up there this spring. Well, you like my sister, right?
Martin: Yeah, sure.
Sherry: Oh, now, come on, Mart'. You can't hold one little embarrassing moment against her. She didn't know you were in there.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Hi, Dad. The only reason I came down here was to bring you this. Obviously I made another colossal
blunder in a week full of them. I'm really sorry, Dad. I guess you don't really feel like talking about it.
Martin: You know, Frasier, sometimes I just feel like sitting here and watching the game, all right?
Frasier: Fine, I can do that.
Martin: Yeah.
Frasier: Sure. So the, er, Sonics and the, er, Bulls. That Jordan, he's really something, huh? Yeah. The way he scores those points and gets the ball back when the other team misses... Wow, well, that's incredible. He made the same impossible shot twice in a row.
Martin: It's the instant replay.
