Martin Quote #131
Quote from Martin in Author, Author
Martin: Boy, I could tell you a couple of stories about you guys you could throw in there.
Niles: That's an interesting idea, we could use ourselves. It would make a delicious introduction to our book.
Frasier: I like the introduction idea. Dad, okay, give us a story which depicts little Frasier and little Niles at their conflicted best.
Martin: Oh, that would have to be when we went trout fishing up at that lake whats-its-name. Boy, you guys were at it tooth and nail.
Niles: Oh, this is good. This is interesting.
Martin: Now, what was the name of that lake again?
Frasier: Dad. Dad, the name of the lake is immaterial.
Martin: Indian word, Lake Whatchahatchi?
Frasier: Dad, you're missing the point here.
Martin: Oh, your mother would know. It's too bad she's dead. Er, whatacouchi, cachawachi. It was an Indian word, it meant "Land of a thousand"- No. This is driving me nuts. I'm going to have to go in there and look it up.
Niles: Dad, we just wanted the story!
Martin: No, it's all right. Where the hell did I put my atlas?

Quote from Niles
Frasier: Amazing! Well, there you have it, Seattle, the miracle of the sibling relationship spelled out in an unselfish act of head-shaving. Well, that's about all the time we have. I'd like to thank my brother, Dr. Niles Crane, for being here today. Niles, I would shave my head for you.
Niles: A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year.
Quote from Niles
Frasier: Niles, what the hell are you doing? I don't want to write a book, for God's sake. I'm out of here.
Niles: Frasier, I know it's asking a big favor. I mean, I know you're busy. But I just want you to know that all of my life I've dreamed of one thing: the day I could go into a library and go to the card catalog and see my name
under "mental illness".

Niles: Very clever solution.
Frasier: Yes. It also has another little feature that I like. Watch this. [to Martin] Hey, Dad! Nice shirt. Did they throw that in the last time you had your tires rotated?
Niles: Hey, Dad. Tell us about the time you met Dwight Eisenhower. We haven't heard that story this hour.
Frasier: Okay, okay, my turn. Hey, Dad? Remember-
Martin: Say another word and I'll club you both with my cane.
