Roz: Subtle, Frasier. But just so you know, I do not owe you an apology. You were trying to take over my show, and that's why I fired you.
Frasier: You did not fire me. I quit. But at this late date, Roz, you should be spared the burden of having to replace me.So, why don't we agree to put aside our egos and continue with the program?
Roz: I've already replaced you.
Frasier: Oh, Roz. You've gone with an "also-ran." Who is it?
Roz: John Glenn.
Frasier: The astronaut?
Roz: Yes.
Frasier: The senator?
Roz: Yes. The John Glenn, American hero.
Frasier: So I take it there was nobody available with any previous radio experience.

Niles: I have to practice in real-life conditions. I can't keep running up and down the halls.
Martin: No, it's too windy.
Niles: All right. Well, uh, can I at least hang her off the balcony so we can see how she looks?
Martin: Niles, what kind of dope are you smoking? The updraft would pull you off your feet. You know, you've got a lot to learn. This isn't like driving a car, you know. It takes practice and concentration.

Frasier: It's insupportable, Dad. She went out and got John Glenn to replace me.
Niles: The astronaut?
Frasier: Yes, yes, the American hero.
Martin: John Glenn? He's perfect!
Frasier: Oh, moondust and starshine, Dad! Yes, he's "been to space." But does he have the voice, the savvy, the radio charisma, hmm?
Martin: Batten down the kite, Niles, it's really starting to blow hard in here.

Niles: Frasier, your issues notwithstanding, getting John Glenn is quite a coup for Roz.
Frasier: John Glenn is just a space-age Band-Aid, Niles, and Roz is using him to cover up this enormous authority issue she has with me, which she persists in denying.
Niles: Um-
Frasier: You're right, Niles, it's time for action. I have got to show her once and for all that I am not some meddler and that she is only being paranoid. I'll be in my room, plotting some way to prove it!

Frasier: Senator?
John Glenn: Yes.
Frasier: I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Dr. Frasier Crane.
John Glenn: Oh, glad to meet you.
Frasier: It's a pleasure to meet you. Yes, I was the previous narrator on the documentary.
John Glenn: That's a fascinating story.
Frasier: Well, you've heard her side of the story. Maybe someday you'll hear mine.
John Glenn: Well, I was talking about space travel. It was good of you to step aside, though. You have a scheduling conflict?
Frasier: Yes, unfortunately. The Opera Guild's annual... football tournament. Well, I'm the quarterback.

Frasier: Oh, Senator? Uh, what are you drinking there, Tang?
John Glenn: [checking his watch] Two minutes and twenty seconds, a new record.

Roz: Okay, Senator, we're rolling.
John Glenn: Okay. Roz, I have an idea if you're interested.
Roz: Sure.
John Glenn: I heard the nicest story, about a Seattle man who took his two sons up on the roof of the house, to try and see my Mercury spacecraft come over.
Roz: I love that.
John Glenn: Yeah, well, I thought you'd like that one. And then, if we could get some of the old mission broadcasts, maybe we could use those for background.
Roz: Definitely. You are full of great ideas.
Frasier: No, I'm full of good ideas!

Frasier: Roz, it's all right. The Senator and I are old friends. I took the liberty of running a few irresistible ideas by him so that I could prove my point and let you come clean.
John Glenn: That's not what you told me. You used me!
Frasier: I'm sorry, Senator, but-but if I used you it was only as the swift and terrible sword of justice.

Roz: It's terrible, all right! And outrageous! [to Glenn] You said these were your ideas! Why'd you do it, Senator Glenn?
John Glenn: I was misled, and-and I feel awful, and-and you know, it's not like me to be that underhanded.

John Glenn: Back in those glory days, I was very uncomfortable when they asked us to say things that I didn't want to say, and deny other things. Some people ask, you know, "were you alone out there?" And we never gave the real answer, and yet we've seen things out there, strange things. But we know what we saw out there, and we couldn't- We couldn't really say anything, and the bosses were scared of this. They were afraid of "War of the Worlds" type-stuff, and about panic in the streets. And so we had to keep quiet, and now we only see these things in our, well, in our nightmares. Or maybe in-in the movies, and some of them are pretty close to being the truth.
[later:]
John Glenn: Uh, look, about what I just said out there, could we just keep that between us?
Roz: Oh, of course, Senator.
John Glenn: Good. Well...Oh, wait, you were recording all that?
Roz: Well, yeah, but that's okay, we've got plenty of tape.
John Glenn: I'm gonna need that tape.
Roz: [to Frasier] He's a little tightly wound.
Frasier: Looks like maybe somebody should cut back on the old Tang.
Roz: [laughing] That's a good one, Frasier.
