Hester: Now, son. I know this is frightening for you, but you have to do the work.
Frasier: Okay. Okay. Fine. All right. I screwed things up with Lana. But wait, that wasn't my fault. She was still in love with her ex-husband.
Lilith: No, Lana is not the problem.
Hester: No, she wasn't right for you at all.
Frasier: Oh, mother, you would say that. You never approved of any of my relationships.
Hester: Don't pin this on me. I liked Claire.
Diane: Oh, she was wonderful for you.
Nanette: Everybody thought so.
Hester: So why didn't it work out?
Lilith: Maybe because she was just right for you.

[Frasier enters the apartment as the phone is ringing]
Frasier: Have you all gone deaf? Isn't someone going to answer that?
Martin: You're up.
Frasier: [answering the phone] Hello?... Claire. ... I did not call you, you called me. I did not! I did not! I did... Hello? [puts down the phone] What was that all about?
Martin: Beats me, she always was a little nutty.

Diane: Don't feel bad. She tried to kill me once.
Hester: Oh, not this paranoia again.
Diane: You had a gun.
Hester: Frasier, don't listen to them. These women are all liars and cheaters. I'm the only woman you can trust.
Diane: You're a fine one to talk. You cheated on Martin.
Hester: Oh, that's none of your beeswax, Missy!
Lilith: Oh, betrayal by the mother. Is there any deeper wound?
Hester: I'd say sleeping with his brother is right up there!
Diane: [gasps, to Lilith] You did?!
Hester: Mmm-hmm!
Diane: Ooh, I could see that.

Hester: Don't even think about my baby like that!
Nanette: You can't control her thoughts.
Hester: Oh, shut up. You're a whore.
Nanette: You're a hypocrite!
Hester: Whore!
Nanette: Hypocrite!
Hester: Whore!
Nanette: Hypocrite! You're all hypocrites!
Hester: And you're all whores!

Hester: Now, let's explore the inner recesses of your psyche like we did when you were a boy.
Frasier: I don't want to.
Hester: Perhaps we should start with the premise set forth in the definitive study done by Harlan and Watkins.
Lilith: Oh, excuse me, but the definitive study was done ten years later at Cambridge.
Hester: Oh, excuse me for not keeping up. I was busy being dead.
Nanette: That's her excuse for everything.
Hester: Don't you have a tambourine to bang?

Lana: Can I ask you something? In your opinion as a psychiatrist, once you've lost trust, can you ever get it back?
Frasier: Well, it would take work. A lot of work. Think about it, Lana. You could have a whole new life now.
Lana: I could. I'm just so confused. Frasier, you are the only man I can trust right now. Tell me what to do.
Frasier: Well, the truth is, that you wouldn't be having this crisis if you didn't still have feelings for Bob. You should talk to him. You owe it to yourself to hear him out.
Lana: I just want you to know, Frasier, that no matter what happens, you are a really good...
Frasier: Don't. Don't use the F-word.
Lana:I wasn't about to. [Playfully tapping his shoulder.] I was going to say we're friends! [laughing]

Martin: You think we can call her?
Daphne: What would we say?
Niles: She's probably out on a date with somebody else.
Martin: Well, maybe not. Let's just see if she's home.
[As Martin gets up to dial the phone, Niles and Daphne follow]
Niles: Put it on speaker.
Martin: You do the talking.
Niles: No, Daphne should.
Daphne: I don't know what to say.
Claire: Hello? Hello?
[Martin quickly hangs up the phone. They all retreat to the table.]
Niles: Well, that was childish. [phone rings] She star 69'd us. Don't answer it!

Daphne: How are you, Dr. Crane?
Frasier: Actually, I'm- I'm fine, Daphne. In fact, my little retreat was just what this doctor ordered. I cleared my head. Came to some conclusions. So where are you guys off to?
Niles: Oh, just one of Dad's movies. You want to join us? I brought my "Itty-Bitty Book Light."

Frasier: No thanks, you guys go ahead.
Daphne: You'll be okay, won't you?
Frasier: Ah, yes, I'll be just fine.
Martin: Why don't I just stay here to keep you company?
Frasier: No, really Dad, I'm fine.
Martin: You sure?
Frasier: Yes. In fact, I'm...I'm better than I've been in quite some time. Mainly because of one very important thing I learned-
Martin: Great. Let's roll.

Martin: Great pot roast, Daph.
Daphne: Wow, thanks Mr. Crane. I used turnips and pearl onions for the...
Martin: Oh, what's the use? This place will never be the same without Claire.
Niles: We all miss her, Dad.
Daphne: No one misses her more than me. She could have been the sister I never had.
