Quote from Niles in The Two Mrs. Cranes
Frasier: I told you to be honest. But would you listen? No! No, instead you subject us to this ridiculous charade. Daphne: Just play along, please. I swear, one drink and he's out the door. Niles: He's staying for dinner. Frasier: What?! Daphne: Well, how did that happen? Niles: He just sort of invited himself. Pretty damn cheeky if you ask me. Daphne: Oh, dear God! Niles: Obviously he still has hopes of winning you back. We must keep these signs of affection as realistic as possible.
