Martin Quote #10
Quote from Martin in The Good Son
Frasier: We're back. Roz, who's our next caller?
Roz: We have Martin on line one. He's having a problem with his son.
Frasier: Hello, Martin. This is Dr. Frasier Crane. I'm listening.
Martin: "I'm a first-time caller."
Frasier: Welcome to the show. How can I help you?
Martin: "I just moved in with my son, and it ain't working. There's a lot of tension between us."
Frasier: I can imagine. Why do you think that's so?
Martin: "I guess I didn't see he had a whole new life planned for himself. I kind of got in the way."
Frasier: Well, these things are a two-way street. Perhaps your son wasn't sensitive enough to see how your life was changing.
Martin: "You've got that right! I've been telling him that ever since I got there!"
Frasier: I'm sure he appreciated your candor.
Martin: "Well, sometimes maybe I oughta learn to just keep my trap shut."
Frasier: That's good advice for us all. Anything else?
Martin: "Yeah, I'm worried my son doesn't know that I really appreciate what he's done for me."
Frasier: Why don't you tell him?
Martin: "You know how it is with fathers and sons. They have trouble saying that stuff."
Frasier: Well, if it helps, I suspect your son already knows how you feel. Is that all?
Martin: "Yeah. I guess that's it. Thank you, Dr. Crane."
Frasier: My pleasure, Martin.
Martin: "You hear what I said? I said thank you!"
Frasier: Yes, I heard.

Quote from Frasier
Niles: Of course, I can't take care of him.
Frasier: Oh, yes, of course. Of course. Why?
Niles: Because Dad doesn't get along with Maris.
Frasier: Who does?
Niles: I thought you liked my Maris.
Frasier: I do. I like her from a distance. You know, the way you like the sun. Maris is like the sun, except without the warmth.
Quote from Martin
Delivery Man: Where do you want it?
Martin: Where's the TV?
Niles: It's in that credenza.
Martin: Point it at that.
Delivery Man: What about this chair?
Niles: The chair? Here, let me get it out of your way.
Frasier: Niles. Niles, be careful with that! That's a Wassily! Oh. Dad, as dear as I'm sure this piece is to you, I just don't think it goes with anything here.
Martin: I know. It's eclectic.
Quote from Roz
Roz: Ever heard of Lupe Velez?
Frasier: Who?
Roz: Lupe Velez. The movie star in the '30s. Well, her career hit the skids so she decided she'd make one final stab at immortality. She figured if she couldn't be remembered for her movies, she'd be remembered for the way she died. And all Lupe wanted was to be remembered. So, she plans this lavish suicide. Flowers, candles, silk sheet, white satin gown, full hair and make-up, the works. She takes the overdose of pills, lays on the bed and imagines how beautiful she's going to look on tomorrow's front page. Unfortunately, the pills don't set well with the enchilada combo plate she sadly chose as her last meal. She stumbles to the bathroom, trips and goes head-first into the toilet. And that's how they found her.
Frasier: Is there a reason you're telling me this story?
Roz: Yes. Even though things may not happen like we planned, they can work out anyway.
Frasier: Remind me again how it worked for Lupe, last seen with her head in the toilet.
Roz: All she wanted was to be remembered. Will you ever forget that story?
