Niles Quote #61

Quote from Niles in The Crucible

Niles: Remember that day in junior high school when somebody took all my clothes while I was in the shower right after gym class? They hung them from the goalpost on the football field. I had no choice but to get a ladder and climb up there wearing nothing but a towel, wet and shivering. Then the towel fell off. There I was, your little brother, hanging naked from a goalpost, and everyone was standing around laughing. And all Coach Medwick would do was stand there going [raises arms]. Whatever that means.
Frasier: Niles, why are you telling me this?
Niles: Because I was so humiliated. I went home, I cried my eyes out. I swore I would get even. I was just about to put sugar into Coach Medwick's gas tank, and you stopped me. Remember what you said? You said, "If you act like a barbarian, you will become a barbarian."
Frasier: I said that?
Niles: Actually, you were more verbose at the time. I had to listen, you were sitting on my chest.

Quote from Roz

Frasier: Gee, so what do you think of the place? Is it everything you imagined it would be?
Roz: Well, to be frank, Frasier, I don't spend my idle hours imagining how you live. But I did expect lots of beige. And look, I was right.

Quote from Martin

Martin: What are you doing to do now?
Frasier: Well, they forced my hand. I'm going to call the police.
Martin: 555-3000.
Frasier: Thanks, Dad. Try to mess with Dr. Frasier Crane, I'll teach them. Hello. Oh, yes, just a second. Dad, who do I ask for?
Martin: Have them put you through to the Fine Arts Forgery Department.
Frasier: Hello, yes, the Fine Arts Forgery Department, please. Dad! They're laughing at me.
Martin: Give me the phone. Hi, who's this? Hey, Doris! Yeah, Marty Crane. Yeah, that was my son. I just thought he needed a bite of a reality sandwich. Yeah, give my best to the guys. Thanks. Yeah, bye.
Frasier: What was that?
Martin: Frasier, the boys downtown have got their hands full with murders and robberies. They don't have time for this artsy-fartsy stuff.

Quote from Niles

Martin: Forget it, Frasier. Five years of litigation and you'll end up paying eight times what you paid for the painting.
Niles: He's right about that.
Frasier: God, I hate lawyers!
Niles: Me too. But they make wonderful patients. They have excellent health insurance and they never get better.
