‘Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Part 3)’

Season 10, Episode 9 -  Aired November 26, 2002

Niles won't stop talking about his new take on life following his surgery, but Frasier and Martin think he's afraid to start living normally again.

Quote from Niles

Martin: Stop the tape. Who's he again?
Niles: That's Diego, the illegitimate son of Sonia LaFontaine. He joined the army to avenge the death of his brother. Although, frankly, I'm a little worried about him. I'm not sure he's fighting this war for the right reasons.

Quote from Niles

Martin: Hey, you want some of this fancy dessert? It must be really good because Frasier told me not to touch it.
Niles: No. No, thanks, I brought some of these tasty rye flats in case I feel peckish.
Martin: They look like wood. I thought your doctor cleared you to eat normal foods.
Niles: Well, uh, he did, but I feel my tastes have gotten simpler since I cheated death. [grimacing as he chews the dry, cardboard-like food] It's hard to explain.

Quote from Niles

Martin: Where you going?
Niles: To live my life.
Martin: You forgot the rye flats.
Niles: No, I didn't, Dad. No, I didn't.
Martin: Well, you're not leaving them here.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: [out loud] Hello, God, it's me again. Dr. Frasier Crane. Listen, it seems that when we made our little arrangement, there was another deal in place. Now, I've had some experience with double-booking, and I know that the person who books first always gets priority. So, as long as Daphne keeps her end - which she is, to the letter - it seems our little arrangement would be rendered null and void. Ergo, I am now going to yell at my brother. ... Unless of course, you give me a sign. ... Very well, then. This is going to be sweet.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Niles!
Niles: There you are. You're forty minutes late. Well, no matter, I have more important things to do.
Frasier: Not so fast, Mister! You, sir, have been insufferable for the past few weeks. It might enlighten you to know that your endless preaching has been nothing more than a thin cover for your fear...
Niles: I know, I know, I know. Dad just told me, and he was right. I've been an ass lately. I am really sorry, but I have to go. My wife is waiting for me. Frankly, Frasier, I'm surprised you didn't bring this up sooner. [elevator doors close]
Frasier: But... [stunned silence] Huh. Well played, God. I'll see you at Easter.

Quote from Niles

Roz: Oh, Niles, wait. Frasier says the string articulation is really good.
Niles: In this? Frasier, you know I hold your opinion in highest regard, but are you nuts?
Frasier: Perhaps I am, Niles. Thank you.
Niles: Maybe you just need to get your hearing checked.
Frasier: I'll do that. Thank you, Niles.
Niles: [loudly] I'll see you later!
Frasier: [chuckling] Very amusing! I get it. Ha ha.

Quote from Martin

Roz: Wow. Niles is really loving life with a vengeance.
Martin: Yeah, I was the same way after I got shot. My first day back at the precinct I went around hugging all the guys telling them all I loved them.
Roz: How long did that last?
Martin: Until they started calling me "Martina."

Quote from Roz

Roz: It is kind of weird seeing Niles all lovey-dovey with Mrs. Moon.
Martin: Believe me, when you're in that state, you can find something to love even in the biggest jerk.
Niles: Roz, I want to tell you, you are a treasure. Maybe I don't say it often enough, but you are.
Roz: [as Martin opens his mouth] Shut up, Martina.
