Quote from Martin in Breaking the Ice
Martin: I don't know why it's so hard. Frasier: Dad, listen, you know you can say it. I mean, I heard you say it to Duke. Martin: Oh, that's different, I said, "I love ya!" Ya! Frasier: We'd take "ya." Niles: Yeah. Martin: Well, if I'm gonna do it, I'll do it right. [sniff] Frasier... [Martin takes a glug from the bottle] Frasier, I love you. Niles, I love you. Frasier: Thanks, Dad. I love you, too. Niles: And I love you, too. ... But I hate ice fishing!
