Frasier: Good lord, Niles, you won't believe this. Bryce trustees are already reviewing a proposal for the purchase of their land.
Niles: Dad just walked in. Let's drop another hint about meeting Penelope.

Niles: Dad is not going to let us ask his girlfriend for money.
Frasier: I didn't say "honest," I said "direct." Try to keep up, for God's sake.
