Niles: Well, one possibility is, go on a date with her. If you feel there are sparks between you and this woman, then tell Frasier.
Martin: I don't want to lie to my son.
Niles: You're not lying to him. You're delaying the truth to spare his feelings. If nothing happens, he need never know.
Martin: Well, I guess it's worth a try. If Maureen and I hit it off, then I'll tell him immediately.
Niles: Or I can. Really, I don't mind.
