Frasier: Dad has to be politely told that even though he may enjoy her company he has no right to... what's the polite word for inflict?
Niles: Well, I don't know, but I'm sure you'll find one.

Niles: I'm afraid you're the one who's going to be making that little speech.
Frasier: But Niles, both of us have a problem.
Niles: Ah, ah, ah, ah. She's not invading my apartment. I can afford to be patient.
Frasier: You are a little weasel, aren't you?
Niles: A little weasel whose daddy loves him.

Sherry: Niles, before I forget. About your banquet, are we talking fancy-schmancy?
Niles: Well, it's not exactly the way it's worded on the invitation, but yes...

Martin: Well, Daphne's got a cold so Sherry's going to use her ticket.
Frasier: What fun! That's coming up soon, isn't it? Maybe you should start working on that little speech.
Sherry: So, fancy dress, huh? Good. I got a backless leopard skin number that's gonna knock your eyes out.

Sherry: Well Niles, don't worry about your banquet. I'll wear a nice dress and put on my best dancing shoes.
Niles: Oh, well, there won't be dancing.
Sherry: You just leave that to Sherry.

Frasier: Well, your little banquet should prove quite amusing. I hope Dr. Geudfreund doesn't aggravate his hernia when he goes underneath the limbo pole!
Niles: I have to talk to Dad. I can't let her ruin the most important evening of my life. What do I say to him? Frasier, you've got to help me.
Frasier: Well, prepared though you were to abandon me and let me handle all the dirty work alone, I will swallow my resentment, confront him with you tonight and take my share of the heat.
Niles: Thank you.
Frasier: Gotcha.

Martin: Ah, forget it. You're right. Why should I expect you to make the effort when I'm no better? Hell, you probably got it from me. You sure didn't get it from your mother 'cos she was great that way. Anytime she ever met anybody she could always find something to like about them. One of the things I loved her for. It's one of the things I love Sherry for. She's a lot like your mother that way. She'll always find something, even with you two.

Martin: Well, at the very least, if we can't say anything nice we shouldn't say anything at all.
Niles: I'll be having some quiet Thanksgivings, but fine with me.

Sherry: Well, I wanted to give it to you on your birthday but it took me a while to find the right size.
Martin: Really? I'm usually a pretty easy fit.
Sherry: Who said it's for you to wear?
Martin: Ho, ho, I like it already.
Sherry: Oh, I should stop. I'm embarrassing your boys.
Martin: No, you're not. Is she?
Niles: Nooooo.
Frasier: Party on.

Frasier: Oh, Dad? Lilith mentioned that she was going to be joining Frederick on his next visit. You don't mind if she stays here, do you?
Martin: Oh, Lilith! No, great, I love Lilith. That's terrific. She's welcome here any time.
Sherry: Honey, you're hurting my hand.
