Quote from Frasier

Frasier: [on the phone] Mrs. Rajeski? Hello, you don't know me but I'm... [Niles screams in agony from the bathroom] My. Well, that's remarkable. Yes, I am a friend of your husband's!

Quote from Niles

Frasier: Niles, it's worse than we thought. He's in prison.
Niles: Well, who's wearing shorts in the shower now?

Quote from Bulldog

Bulldog: Who cares about that guy? This is a great night.
Roz: For you, maybe. The rest of us lost.
Bulldog: Hey, it's not important whether you win or lose. It's an honor just being nomin- [breaks into laughter] I couldn't get through that crap on stage, I can't get through it now.

Quote from Roz

Roz: Frasier, do you mind if I use your phone?
Frasier: No, not at all. Who are you calling? It's practically midnight.
Roz: Oh, I promised my grandmother I'd leave her a message telling her how we did. [into the phone] Hey Gammy, it's Roz. Guess what? We won again! We're all here celebrating. [Everybody gives an unenthusiastic "Yay"]
Roz: Listen, I gotta go. It's getting crazy here but I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye-bye.
Niles: You lied to "Gammy?"
Roz: Well, she's old and it makes her happy. She smiled for a week when I won the Miss Seattle Pageant.

Quote from Bulldog

Frasier: You know, Roz raises a very interesting philosophical question...
Martin: Oh, here we go. Buckle up!
Frasier: Is it always morally wrong to lie? We are taught that it is. But are there are certain occasions when a lie would be acceptable.
Bulldog: Yeah, like the lies you tell a chick in bed. "You're the best I've ever been with." "Your thighs don't look that fat." Oh. "Don't worry, I've had a vasectomy." Hey, screw you guys! I'm an artist. We live by different rules.

Quote from Frasier

Niles: For Heaven's sake, Dad, you can't be mad. We were kids.
Martin: You know, the headmaster said it was you two. I went down there and raised hell with him. I said, "My kids don't lie." Because of you that Rajeski kid got expelled.
Frasier: Expelled? Jeez, if we'd have known that was going to happen we would have told the truth.
Niles: Not me. He was a brute and a meanie.
Frasier: You're right. He used to make the most merciless fun of me, about how I always wore my gym shorts in the shower. He used to call me "Shorts In The Shower Boy." You don't have to be witty to be cruel.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Good morning, Frasier.
Frasier: Oh, good morning, Niles. [noticing Niles' suit] Oh, dear God, it's finally happened. This is the thanks I get for introducing you to my personal shopper. I gave Rinaldo instructions to write down every article of clothing
that I had purchased so we could avoid this sort of calamity!
Niles: I didn't use Rinaldo. This suit just caught my eye while I was shopping for shoes.
[They look down and realize they're wearing the same shoes]
Niles: Well, why didn't you also take my strong chin and swimmer's build?
Frasier: Oh, please.
Niles: Obviously we have to sit apart.

Quote from Niles

Frasier: After our conversation last night I couldn't stop thinking about our getting John Rajeski expelled. I didn't sleep a wink.
Niles: You can't be serious?
Frasier: You mean it didn't bother you? Where is your conscience?
Niles: Perhaps it fell into the quad along with my hall monitor beret when John hung me from the flagpole.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Leave me out of this. I'm not sorry. But don't tell him that. And if he asks, I'm living in Italy. No, no, France. No, Italy.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: I still can't help thinking this is all our fault.
Niles: How?
Frasier: Well, he was always on the cusp. Maybe he couldn't get into another prep school. Maybe he had to go to public.
