‘Love Stinks’
Season 9, Episode 5 - Aired October 16, 2001
As Frasier attempts to improve his image among the common people at KACL, Roz learns she's more of a snob than she thought when she falls for a refuse collector.
Quote from Martin
Frasier: Good to see you, glad you could come, make yourselves at home.
Martin: Hey, Fras, why don't you introduce me some of your friends?
Frasier: I wish I could, Dad. I don't know any of these people myself.
Martin: You don't? I better go hide my beer in the crisper.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Roz, please, don't leave me alone here. I don't know any of these people's names.
Roz: Frasier, I can not desert Roger in a room full of nosey strangers.
Frasier: Oh, look, look, he's already met Dad. He knows as many people as I do.
Quote from Kenny
Kenny: Yeah, the station manager's sort of the head honcho. You know, the go-to guy. You could replace virtually everybody at the station except for me. [he notices Roz behind him] And Roz.
Quote from Roz
Kenny: So I take it handsome's not in the biz, huh? So, what's he do?
Roz: What difference does it make Kenny? Why are people so obsessed with what people do? Every party you ever go to, all anyone ever asks you is "What do you do?" "What do you do?" You know, not everyone has a job they're proud of, did you ever think of that? Why can't you ask him about music or sports or books, for God's sake. "Have you read a good book, lately?" Why don't you ask him that instead of embarrassing everybody.
Roger: Here's your sandwich, Roz.
Kenny: So, have you read any good books lately?
Roger: No, actually, us garbage men don't have a lot of time to read books.
Quote from Kenny
Roger: Hey, Frasier, thanks a lot.
Frasier: Right.
Roger: It was really nice meeting everyone.
Frasier: Goodbye.
Kenny: [whispering] ...Roger.
Frasier: I know that.
Quote from Roz
Frasier: Roz?
Roz: I'm sorry. Ever since Roger and I broke up, I can't look at trash the same way.
Quote from Martin
Daphne: I found another box of pictures from your childhood.
Niles: Oh, no.
Daphne: Oh, look at this one, you're adorable.
Niles: Yes, it's all adorable. My retainer, and the membership card to the young magician's club, and that picture of me in my choo-choo jammies.
Martin: Yeah, with your caboose hanging out.
Quote from Roz
Roz: Mommy works in an office and Roger works in a truck. And people in offices and people in trucks... It's complicated.
Alice: But I like Roger.
Roz: I know, honey.
Alice: Do you like Roger?
Roz: Yes, but... Yeah.
Alice: Okay.
Quote from Roz
Roz: Roger!
Roger: Hi.
Roz: I'm so sorry that I've been such an idiot. I don't know what's been wrong with me. All I know is that I miss you like crazy. Do you still have an opening for a mole queen?
Roger: You sure?
[Roz hops up on the garbage truck and kisses Roger. Roger signals for the truck to move to the next trash can. Roz helps Roger throw the garbage into the truck.]
Quote from Frasier
Jason: Hey, Frasier, thanks for inviting me to your party.
Frasier: Well, it's my pleasure... man.
Jason: Did you see the game today?
Frasier: Actually, I did not.
Jason: Oh, man, it was a real squeaker. U-Dub pulled it out at the last second with a real clutch field goal. It's all about special teams, am I right?
Frasier: [chuckling] You know, I think they prefer the term "challenged."
