Niles: You know, Frasier, Maris and I have had our difficulties before, but never anything this serious. I really feel terrible having her mad at me. It's times like this I wish I knew how to cry.
Frasier: Well, don't be embarrassed on my account, Niles.
Niles: No, no, it's not that, I'm just not someone who cries, it's not in my nature. When Maris's Uncle Lyle died, I had to shut my hand in the car door just to make a decent showing at the funeral.
Frasier: You're a complex little pirate, aren't you? Well, goodnight, Niles.
