Quote from Niles in And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon (Part 2)
Niles: Listen, Daphne, I know this is all very awkward, but if it speeds up the divorce process and avoids the misery I went through with Maris, isn't it worth it? Daphne: Well, I... Niles: Oh, come on, schnookums, we can get through this together. What do you say? Daphne: What did you just call me? Niles: Schnookums. Daphne: Schnookums... Niles: It was an attempt at a pet name. Daphne: Well, if it's all the same to you, can we keep looking? Niles: Absolutely, there's no rush whatsoever... truffles. It's the chocolate, not the fungus. It's a work in progress. Daphne: Yes.
