‘Frasier's Imaginary Friend’

Season 5, Episode 1 - Aired September 23, 1997

Niles, Daphne and Martin don't believe it when Frasier returns from Acapulco in a relationship with a supermodel.

Quote from Niles

Frasier: No. She asked me to be discreet. You see, she's a rather famous supermodel. And right now she's going through a break-up with a star football player on the Seahawks. She didn't want any publicity. So, you see, before I identify her to you, I have to ask that you not to ever to repeat this to anyone.
Niles: I'd urge you to do the same.

Quote from Martin

Daphne: Poor sod.
Niles: Doesn't he realize how outlandish it all sounds?
Martin: Even a fake supermodel would have dumped him by now.

Quote from Niles

Daphne: I wish there was something we could do.
Niles: There is. When he was in the phase of his Leonard Bernstein obsession, we finally confronted him, and, as you may recall, Dad, he was relieved that once and for all he could give up the charade [shuh-rahd].
Martin: Charade. [shuh-reyd]
Niles: Charade. [shuh-rahd]
Martin: Well, I guess we could talk to him.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: [to Kelly] I'll keep my fingers crossed. Here's hoping your eggs are still fertile.
Waiter: My wife had trouble conceiving, too. It turned out to be me.
Frasier: Well, mystery solved. Off you go.

Quote from Daphne

[Niles, Daphne and Martin watch Frasier as he dines alone]
Niles: Oh, that is so sad.
Daphne: I'll say, nobody's ever bought me caviar and I'm real. Maybe this is a family thing. [Daphne leaves]

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Kelly was just here. She was called away on an emergency.
Niles: That would be a modeling emergency?
Frasier: No. She only models to raise money for her real interest: zoology. She's a PhD candidate and she raises iguanas. The incubator broke and her eggs were in danger, and it was vital that only she transfer them over... Oh, the details are not important. The fact is that I'm having a relationship with this woman.

Quote from Niles

Martin: We love you Frasier. Niles, me, Daphne...
Niles: Leonard Bernstein.
Frasier: I knew one day you would throw that back in my face.

Quote from Frasier

Joanne: Well, I should warn you. If we hit turbulence, I may hold on to you for dear life.
Frasier: I should warn you, I'm hoping for a bumpy ride.

Quote from Frasier

Kelly: Yes, it's me. Amazing what they can do with make-up and lighting.
Frasier: Yes, it is amazing. .... Not that they didn't have plenty to work with. Oh, by plenty, I don't mean anything referring to... well... Here, you just stay right here. I'll change seats.

Quote from Frasier

Kelly: No, no, wait. Your voice sounds really familiar.
Frasier: I'm Dr. Frasier Crane from the radio. [shakes hand]
Kelly: Kelly Easterbrook, from the magazine.
Frasier: Well, I'm assuming that you're off to a photo shoot on the beaches of Mexico.
Kelly: No, actually, I only model part-time these days. I'm in a PhD department with the University of Washington.
Frasier: What's your field?
Kelly: Zoology. That's why I'm going to Mexico, to observe the spiny-tailed iguana.
Frasier: A model and a scholar. This is the part where I normally wake up.
