Frasier: Well, congratulations, Niles.
Martin: Yeah, looks like Donny really did a job on Maris's legal team.
Niles: Yes, well he certainly is ruthless all right. As a divorce lawyer, what a callous attitude he must have towards human relationships.
Daphne: Yeah, you'd think so, Dr. Crane, but actually he's just the opposite. I've never met anyone so incredibly romantic. [exiting]
Niles: Yes, well I'm sure he seems that way on the outside!
Frasier: Oh, Niles, please. It's unseemly enough when she's actually in the room.

Frasier: You know what? I can stop at the butcher, I'll pick up a couple of ducks and make my justly celebrated duck a l'orange.
Niles: Washed down with a winsome yet robust Chambertin?
Frasier: Chambertin.
Martin: Yeah, and I'll bring a quart of whiskey in case of snakebite.
Niles: Dad. Dad, there are no snakes up there.
Martin: All right, I'll bring a snake.

Frasier: God, this is great, Niles. You know what, I've got to dash down to the mailbox to drop that letter in before the last pickup. Niles, trust me, you'll be glad you took my advice on this one.
Niles: I already am. Thank you, Frasier. It's going to do me a world of good to get away from Daphne for a while.
Frasier: Yes, I couldn't agree more.
[after Frasier leaves:]
Niles: Hey, Daphne, how'd you like to see my new lakefront cottage?

Daphne: One of my cousins is going to San Francisco this weekend and I promised I'd fly down.
Niles: That's a shame.
Daphne: Yeah, Donny's not too thrilled about it either. He wanted to come with me.
Niles: And he's not?
Daphne: No. That would have meant staying in a hotel together, and I'm not sure we're ready for that yet. I suppose you think I'm being a bit old-fashioned.
Niles: Dear God in heaven, no!
Daphne: You can't force these things, you have to wait for the moment when you know it's right.
Niles: Yes, and sometimes the moment never comes and you just have to move on.
Daphne: But I really appreciate the invitation and I'll hope you'll invite me again.
Niles: All right. Daphne, how'd you like to see my new lakefront cottage?
Daphne: [laughs] You're silly.

Roz: So let me get this straight...
Niles: Oh.
Roz: You've been hot for Daphne all this time and you never made a move?
Niles: I was a happily married man.
Roz: You were never happy and you've been separated for almost two years.
Niles: Well, somehow the right moment never came along.
Roz: Oh, come on. I'm not trying to make you feel bad, it's just... waiting all this time and now she's got a boyfriend? [chuckles] My God, that is really pathetic. [laughs]

Roz: When did this happen?
Niles: Well, she met him when he was working on my case.
Roz: Wow, and I was calling you a loser.
Niles: You never called me a loser.
Roz: In my head I did.

Donny: Well, this is going to be fun. Now, Niles, I've got to put these things somewhere.
Roz: I didn't know you'd be here.
Niles: Oh yeah, just in one of the bedrooms upstairs. Oh, but be careful not to wake Roz's baby. She's in that first room.
Donny: Roz, you've got a baby? Congratulations. That means that you're...
Niles: Married? No, she's free as a bird.

Frasier: Niles.
Niles: Aah! Frasier? Dad? What are you doing here today?
Martin: Oh, my dentist is sick, we had to reschedule.
Niles: [grief stricken] Oh, no!
Martin: Oh, it's just a head cold.

[Martin gives Niles a sly nudge]
Frasier: Roz?
Niles: Roz? ... Roz. Yes! So why don't you two run along and leave me alone with... Roz.
Frasier: Roz?
Niles: Well, didn't you urge me to make a fresh start?
Frasier: True, but I gotta tell you Niles, Roz isn't the freshest start you could make.

Martin: Now, come on. Didn't you ever hear the expression, "Two's company, Three's a crowd"?
Frasier: No, Dad, I don't think I ever did. How does it go?
