Martin Quote #133
Quote from Martin in Author, Author
Martin: I never had a brother, but I had a partner once. He was my first, Mitch Gossett. Big bear of a guy, arms like tree-trunks. Mitch and I would go to ball games together, we'd play cards, and this was after work with eight hours together.
Frasier: Dad, that's all very nice.
Martin: Just listen to me. About three months into our partnership, Goss and I got assigned to a stakeout. Three days in the front seat of a Chevy Nova together. Sleeping sitting up, drinking too much coffee. It didn't take long before we started getting on each other's nerves.
Niles: Because he was a big, egotistical fat-face?
Martin: Because we were human. He didn't like this about me, I didn't like that about him, it got ugly. When the stakeout was over, Goss requested a transfer and that was fine by me. Three months later, he was stabbed after breaking up a bar fight. By the time I got to the hospital, it was too late. Take what you want from this story, guys. All I know is, it ain't worth it.

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.
