Quote from Niles in Ask Me No Questions
Niles: Frasier, Frasier. I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. Maris has changed. She now understands that she cannot control me. I am my own man. [bell rings] I don't actually respond to that. [bell rings again] It's a little joke we have between us. [A whistle is blown] Okay, that means business! [Niles closes the door on Frasier and rushes off to see Maris]
