Niles struggles to cope with the media circus as Maris is arrested for the death of her boyfriend.

Quote from Niles

Frasier: You know, Niles, your good cheer in spite of everything is just remarkable.
Niles: Well, I've chosen not to let it get to me, and it hasn't. Of course, much of the credit goes to my Daphne. I am so truly blessed to have such a loving and supportive wife. She is at once my huggle-bunny and my rock.
Daphne: I think I might throw up.
Niles: Huggle-bunny was a bit much.
Daphne: No, no, my stomach is upset.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Poor thing, she's over-tired and a little hormonal. I'll-I'll go try to talk her into choosing to be calm.

Quote from Niles

Roz: You don't look so good.
Niles: Well, I didn't get much sleep last night. Again.
Roz: Well, I'm surprised you're here after yesterday.
Niles: I refuse to be cowed into changing my routines. Let me get this. I have my coffee, I go to work. Of course, all my patients want to talk about is Maris. Esteban's crazed brother left me a message saying I owe him some sort of blood debt. I tell you, some days it just doesn't pay to get off the sofa.

Quote from Frasier

Niles: Frasier, I'm so sorry I embarrassed you.
Frasier: Oh, Niles, you didn't embarrass me one bit. Well, maybe just a little... On our way to the car the breeze from a passing school bus turned your apron into a cape.

Quote from Niles

Niles: [on the phone] Hello, Maris. Yes. Yes, listen, there's something I want to say... Yes, but... Well, of course you're alone! You're alone because you killed your boyfriend! Now, I am on your side, but there is a limit because I have a wonderful, pregnant wife, and as far as my attention is concerned, she comes first. Always! I will help you through this, but now, you have to help me by saying goodbye. No, no, no. What do you have to say? Yes, goodbye. [hangs up]

Quote from Niles

Frasier: Well, tere's the Niles that's been missing in action.
Daphne: Thanks for what you said about me, though I haven't been completely wonderful.
Niles: No, you've been irritable and you made me sleep on a couch.
Frasier: That's the stuff, Niles, doesn't it feel good to get it off your chest?
Niles: Oh, stuff it, Mr. Malaprop! Family spokesman, the Manson family should have a spokesman like you!
Martin: He's really getting the hang of this, isn't he?
Niles: And you! I'd have been home from that jail an hour earlier if you hadn't convinced your buddies to let you squeeze off a few rounds into a dumpster!
