Quote from Martin

Daphne: Ready to do your exercises?
Martin: No, in a minute.
Sherry: Just a couple more hands.
Daphne: You said that half an hour ago.
Sherry: Guess I must be a bad influence.
Martin: Yeah, next thing you know you're going to have me smoking behind the gym.

Quote from Martin

Daphne: I'm sorry, but it's for your own good. I want you down on your back in two minutes and no arguments.
Martin: [to Sherry:] Sounds a lot better when you say it.

Quote from Daphne

Daphne: I can't believe it. You gave my number to a total stranger?
Sherry: I thought it would be a nice surprise. You're not seeing anybody. Kenny is a great guy.
Daphne: He said his name was Jack.
Sherry: Oh, I forgot about Jack.
Daphne: There's more than one?
Sherry: Well, I hope you're a lot nicer to Kenny when he calls. He has a boat.
Daphne: Why don't you just squeeze me into a pair of hot-pants and drop me off down by the docks?

Quote from Martin

Sherry: Maybe you wouldn't be so touchy if you didn't wake up on the wrong side of no one every morning.
Daphne: That's your answer to everything. Sex! It's like you're part rabbit. People ought to rub your feet for luck.
Martin: Come on now, you don't want to say something you're going to regret. Now, you're acting like a couple of fishwives. See, I'm regretting that one already.

Quote from Niles

Daphne: I can't imagine what you must be thinking. Me barging in,asking to stay the night.
Niles: Well, gee, I'm just thinking so many things.

Quote from Niles

Daphne: Sherry just makes me so mad. She's been giving my number to strange men so they'd call and ask me out.
Niles: How dare she. Why would she do such a thing?
Daphne: Because she says I'm too rigid.
Niles: Oh, nonsense.
Daphne: And that I'm too picky.
Niles: Poppycock!
Daphne: And that I'd be much happier if I just went out and had sex with someone.
[Niles is silent for a while]
Niles: Just to play Devil's advocate...

Quote from Niles

Daphne: Would it be all right if I took a cool bath?
Niles: Yes, of course. It's upstairs, third door on your left.
Daphne: Thank you.
Niles: There are fresh towels in the linen closet. Use the Indian cotton. It'll be more gentle on your skin.
Daphne: Oh, Dr. Crane, you're always thinking of me.
Niles: [after Daphne leaves:] You have no idea.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Passion fruit?
Daphne: Thank you! You know, if you keep treating me like this I'll never want to leave.
Niles: [laughs] Champagne?

Quote from Daphne

Daphne: Well, I'm sure there are other intimacies you miss.
Niles: Well, actually I still have a longing for... I still have a desire for, um, to have...
Daphne: Sex?
Niles: Fruit? ... I mean, yeah, sex.
Daphne: I'd love some. ... I mean fruit. Although sex is good, too.

Quote from Niles

Daphne: I'll just run over and get them. I'll come right back.
Niles: No! We'll go together and I'll run up for you. If you and Sherry get into the same room together the two of you might make up... more reasons to fight with one another.
