Quote from Niles in The Botched Language of Cranes
Daphne: Crane residence. Oh, no, I'm afraid he can't come to the phone, may I take a message? Oh, nice language that! I hope you don't eat with that mouth! Niles: Daphne, Daphne, excuse me. [takes the phone] Now see here, how dare you speak to a lady that way. Yes, well, that's no excuse, ma'am! Well, only a coward makes threats over the phone, I dare you to come here and say that to my face. [laughs] Never you mind where I live! [hangs up]
