Quote from Niles in Death and the Dog
Frasier: Okay, I'll say it. What the hell have they been doing in there for the past hour? Martin: Well, he's probably just talking to him. Eddie happens to be very complex and interesting. Frasier: Oh yes, you must remind me to sit beside him at his next dinner party. Niles: Well, be prepared, he'll be up and down checking on that meatloaf.
