‘Bristle While You Work (Part 1)’

Season 10, Episode 7 -  Aired November 12, 2002

Niles is bothered by a toothache and a seemingly endless run of freak, odds-beating occurrences. Meanwhile, Martin regrets his choice of a new housekeeper.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Well, I hear the washer going. I assume that means our new employee is hard at it.
Martin: Oh, yeah, she's like the White Tornado.
Frasier: Dad, you know your basketball references go right over my head.

Quote from Niles

Roz: Hi, Niles. How's it goin'?
Niles: I'm as good as dead! I've been doing research into my family health history. My great-uncle Timothy keeled over from a heart attack at my age. [grabbing the waiter's arm] Bottled water, please.

Quote from Niles

Niles: I flipped a coin seventeen times last night and every time it came up tails. I only stopped because I was getting a blister.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: Dad, there's no reason to get all riled up. My God, you're actually perspiring.
Martin: Well, I just think some people around here don't realize how hard she works.
Frasier: Well, I'll say this much, the place does smell lemony fresh.
Martin: [to himself] That shows what you know. It's country breeze.

Quote from Frasier

Martin: What are you doin' here?
Frasier: Well, my lunch cancelled, I thought I might drop by, see if you'd like to join me for a bite.
Martin: Oh, sure, love to. Let me get my coat.
Frasier: Right, I'll just tell Trish that we're leaving. Where is she?
Martin: Oh, uh, she's in the powder room. Let's go.
Frasier: Actually, Dad, I'd rather wait. You see, I wanted to discuss a new vacuuming pattern with her.

Quote from Martin

Martin: [emerging from the bathroom] Well, now I think you made things worse. It wouldn't surprise me if she didn't come in tomorrow.
[After Frasier gives him a look, Martin turns around and sees Trisha. Martin opens the bathroom door to say:]
Martin: You didn't tell me you had a sister.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Okay, lay it on me. I'm prepared for the worst. Is it my heart?
Doctor: I'm afraid so.
Niles: Ah-ha! ... What?
Doctor: There is an anomaly in your EKG. I'm gonna have to check you into the hospital.
Niles: Oh, uh, well, hmm. Uh, I guess I can clear my schedule. How's, how's tomorrow afternoon?
Doctor: No, no. Niles? You need to go right now.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: Well, I'm afraid so far our best candidate is the young man from Jeepers Sweepers.
Martin: I will move out if you hire that prancing moron.
