Quote from Niles in Secret Admirer
Niles: It's cost me a fortune already. If she dragged it out any longer, I'd be literally bankrupt. Frasier: Well, I'm sure you've got some celebrating to do, so off you go. Niles: I cannot wait until I'm done with this. I just have to sign it and get her to do the same and then I can take my seat aboard the freedom train. Frasier: Well, all aboard. Niles: Oh, it's a funny thing. One day you're starting a new relationship, full of hope. The next, you're sinking helplessly into a sucking pit of despair that leaves you filled with the bitter bile of regret. ... You're on a date, aren't you? Frasier: It's hard to say at this point.
