‘Dial M for Martin’

Season 6, Episode 3 -  Aired October 8, 1998

With Frasier spending more time at home now he's out of work, he and Martin get on each other's nerves. Roz suggests Martin move in with Niles for a while, an idea he fully supports when he realizes Daphne will be coming along, too.

Quote from Frasier

Martin: Oh, hi, Frasier.
Frasier: Hi, Dad. Hi, Niles. Forgive me, I know how annoying it can be to drop by without calling first.
Niles: Oh, don't worry, I used to do it all the time.
Frasier: That's how I know.

Quote from Frasier

Martin: Oh, no, no, leave it right there. That way I won't get my pizza cheese all over your fancy chairs.
Niles: Doesn't the cheese go in your mouth?
Frasier: Well, that's certainly the goal, Niles, but you can't hit that bull's-eye every time.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Well, good news on the employment front?
Daphne: Yes, a friend of mine just got me an interview. It's an elderly woman suffering from brittle bone disease, the poor thing.
Frasier: Well, normally I'd say "Break a leg", but...

Quote from Niles

Niles: Dad, I am so sorry!
Martin: Don't worry about it, it was an accident.
Daphne: Well, you do seem to be in one piece. Still, it was an awfully big fall. Dr. Crane, would you help me get some ice?
Niles: Good thinking, Daphne. I know I could use a drink.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: I, uh, I think I'll be off now. Off to my bachelor pad, I have a date with a lingerie model. Ha, ha, ha. "Bachelor pad, lingerie model" - the sweetest words in the English language.
Martin: I'm sorry I won't be there.
Frasier: Wait. We have a tie.

Quote from Frasier

Niles: You actually convinced Dad I was trying to harm him?
Frasier: Oh, Niles, I did no such thing. I simply advanced a theory, I had no idea he would take it to heart.
Niles: Oh, balderdash.
Frasier: Please, Niles, surely it's occurred to you that your desire for Daphne is forcing you to behave in very strange ways. Or do you shove Dad down the stairs every day?
Niles: That was an accident.
Frasier: Oh, Niles, any psychiatrist worth his salt knows that there are no accidents. No one would do something like that, however unconsciously, unless they stood to gain from it.

Quote from Niles

[opening the door to reveal Martin lying on the corridor floor in agony]
Frasier: Oh, my God!
Niles: Oh, thank God... we're here to help!

Quote from Frasier

Daphne: Dr. Crane, we really should get him inside.
Frasier: Yes. Just give me... a moment. [Frasier wanders into his apartment and looks around his bachelor pad. He takes a glass of wine and sits in his chair.] All right, bring him in.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Well, I hope you're happy. Now I have to sit here all afternoon waiting for the phone to ring.
Martin: As opposed to what you normally do?
Frasier: Oh, that's rich coming from you. A man who's spent the last five years welded to his aptly named Lay-Z-Boy.

Quote from Frasier

Martin: Don't walk away from me when I'm yelling at you.
Frasier: I'll walk away from you if I want to. It's my house.
Martin: Yes, don't I know it. You have no respect for my stuff.
Frasier: Yes, well if you had labeled the cassette "Rodeo Bloopers", I wouldn't have taped over it. I would have thrown it away.
