Quote from Martin in The Return of Martin Crane
[flashback to Martin's later days on the police force:] Frank: You going to carry that fish around all day? Martin: Hey, he has a name. That's Eddie. Frank: Why don't you get yourself a real pet? You know, like a- like a dog? Martin: Ah, I'm not really a dog person. I just wanted someone in the family I could get along with. Did I tell you Frasier's not coming home for Thanksgiving? Frank: Yeah, you did. Martin: And have I told you about my weekly Sunday brunch with Niles and Maris? Frank: Yeah, you have. Martin: Well, I'd rather be at church. I'd get more to eat.
