Fearing he will never win the support of the building's tenants, Frasier convinces Martin to run for president of the condo board so he can surreptitiously call the shots.

Quote from Roz

Daphne: So how could you tell your date wasn't meant to be?
Roz: He had the same purse.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Well, the fruits do mix a little promiscuously.
Roz: I was thinking, "Oh my God, what are they saying?"
Niles: Rest assured, we would have offered you something more than fruit salad to get you in the mood.
Daphne: You know what? She didn't say no.
Niles: You're right. She didn't.
Roz: It was only because it was so weird, I didn't know what to say.
Daphne: Is that why?
Niles: I think someone has a little crush on us.

Quote from Niles

Roz: Okay, okay. Let's talk about something else. What are you guys going to do this weekend?
Niles: You, if you get your way.

Quote from Daphne

Daphne: So, if we had have asked you, you would have said no?
Roz: Of course I would have.
Niles: I see, and what's wrong with us?
Daphne: Do you find us unattractive?
Niles: Well, what if we wore masks?
Daphne: Oh, they'd have to be Nixon and Frankenstein. That's all we've got.

Quote from Frasier

Martin: I think I can at least take care of the no-brainer decisions myself.
Frasier: That is not how this is supposed to work.
Martin: Well, I thought how this was supposed to work was that if I agreed to do this, you would do the one thing I asked for.
Frasier: Yes, wider parking spaces, but I have five years of ideas here to implement first.
Martin: Five years? By the time I get my parking space I'll be driving a three-wheeled scooter with an oxygen tank on the back.
Frasier: Look, even if I could fast-track it, there are feasibility studies to be done. There's, um, a committee review, and then there's a bidding process. You can't just hire some guy with a can of paint.
Martin: Well, that's what I'd do.
Frasier: Well that is why you're not in charge.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Now, here's your agenda for the next meeting. Make sure you follow it to the letter.
Martin: Yes, master.
Frasier: Dad, I sense you're chafing under the cruel yoke of public service. Remember, we must subordinate our own wishes for the good of the building. And that is not one of our hand signals.

Quote from Daphne

Daphne: Don't you just love this part of American history?
Niles: I'm not much of a Civil War buff.
Daphne: Really? It's fascinating. Much more so than the English Civil War.
Niles: Impossible! Didn't you want to be there when Charles I unfurled his standard at Nottingham in 1642?
Daphne: Ugh. You sound like school.
Niles: Well, we'll let Frasier settle it. Which Civil War was more interesting?
Frasier: Spanish.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: I've got to go confront Evita Peron at the condo board meeting tonight.
Niles: Dad?
Frasier: Yes.
Niles: I thought he was doing a good job.
Frasier: Well, he was, until he started to think for himself. He's so damn popular everybody else just follows along. It's like the blind leading the blind.
Niles: Well...
Frasier: But it will not stand! As soon as he calls for new business tonight, I am going to leap to my feet and expose him for the power-mad dictator that he's become. Mm-mmm. Then I'll take over.

Quote from Frasier

Daphne: Dr. Crane, maybe you should take it easy on your father.
Frasier: Why?
Daphne: Because he's getting out more, having fun with other people in the building. You can't take that away from him.
Niles: You get to be a big shot all the time. This is Dad's turn in the limelight. It's good for his self-esteem.
Frasier: I don't know why I even talk to you people?

Quote from Niles

Roz: Hi, can I join you guys?
Niles: Oh.
Daphne: I think someone is coming on to us.
Niles: Someone just can't leave us alone.
Roz: Okay, you guys have been doing this for over two weeks. Lay off.
Niles: I thought "laying off" was exactly what you didn't want us to do.
