Quote from Frasier
Frasier: There is no need to lower your voice. I'm not ashamed to dine alone. Perhaps, as a man of some celebrity, I can serve as a symbol to others who might otherwise be afraid to do so. I mean, really it's okay, it's actually even preferable to sit and dine alone rather than listen to someone who's too much in love with his own voice prattle on endlessly.
Quote from Frasier
Johnny: Hi.
Frasier: Hello. What's your name?
Johnny: Johnny. How come nobody's sitting with you?
Frasier: Well, that's a bit complicated, Johnny.
Johnny: My Mom and Dad said it's okay if you come sit with us.
Frasier: Oh, well, that's a very, very sweet offer. And, look, I know it's hard for a young boy to understand, but, you know, really, there's nothing wrong with someone eating by himself.
Johnny: You know, one time I was really bad at school and the teacher made me eat lunch all by myself.
Frasier: Oh, I'll bet that gave you an opportunity to think about your actions, didn't it?
Johnny: Nope. I just cried.
Frasier: Run along, Johnny.
Quote from Niles
Martin: Oh, you can't really judge what a person's like from the voice.
Niles: That's true. I was once told that I sound, imagine the impertinence, uptight.
Martin: And me. You'd imagine some cranky old geezer.
Frasier: I've lost track of what point we're making.
Quote from Niles
Frasier: I always loved the name Laura.
Martin: Hey Frasier, you know, that was gonna be your name if you were a girl.
Frasier: Really?
Martin: Yeah. Your mother always wanted Priscilla, but I never liked the nickname "Prissy."
Niles: Mmm. I never much cared for it, either.
Quote from Daphne
Daphne: I met a boy in a cute way once. I was eighteen and visiting Stonehenge and this dashing young man came up to me and told me he was an actual descendant of the Druids.
Frasier: Boy, is that the one place that line would work.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Uh, Laura? Looking for Molly?
Laura: Yes, I am. Molly sent a driver?
Frasier: Oh, no, no, no. I'm not a driver, I'm a psychiatrist, I'm here to help you.
Laura: Molly's having me committed?
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Well, I guess by now you've probably figured out that my coming down here wasn't entirely the act of a Good Samaritan. More like a lonely Samaritan. Guess it makes me seem sort of desperate.
Laura: No. I think it makes you seem sort of romantic. I used to do things like this when I was single. It was fun.
Frasier: Clearly, you were better at being single than I am.
Laura: Oh, come on. Let me ask you a question. How did you feel, coming down here?
Frasier: I felt completely exhilarated. In fact, it's the most fun I've had in recent memory.
Laura: Exactly. The anticipation, the excitement, the hope. Marriage is the death of all that.
Frasier: I hope you didn't write your own vows.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Well, you're smart, lovely, talented, able to look at the bright side of things. I'm getting more disappointed by the moment.
Laura: I'm sorry it didn't turn out the way you wanted.
Frasier: Oh, don't be. Look, I really did have fun. You know, it's not very often that I do something impulsive.
Laura: Well, maybe you should. ... Well, I really should be going.
Frasier: Oh, no. Here, allow me. Allow me. I'm the nicest guy in the world, remember?
Laura: I'll remember.
Frasier: Here we are.
Laura: This is probably a ridiculous thing to say, but if I weren't married-
Frasier: No, you don't have to finish that, but thank you very much for starting it.
Laura: [quietly] Okay.
Quote from Roz
Frasier: Oh, Roz, listen. I managed to get some reservations at San Gennaro tonight. I thought we'd go celebrate your birthday.
Roz: Oh, that is so sweet, but I have a date with that waiter we met at lunch yesterday.
Frasier: You're going out with that guy?
Roz: I didn't have enough for a tip.
Frasier: Keep in mind the service wasn't that good.
Quote from Roz
Roz: You could shake up your life every once in a while. Do something spur of the moment. Once, I finished work on a Friday and hopped a plane to Acapulco, and I didn't pack anything but my toothbrush.
Frasier: Oh, yes. Yes, I do remember you calling in sick one Monday morning with a mariachi band in the background.
Roz: Well, I was sick.
