Niles Quote #237
Quote from Niles in Flour Child
Frasier: Niles, I can't help noticing that your child has a little boo-boo.
Niles: Oh, it's nothing. I was playing him some Brahms the other day. Never too early to ingrain them. I guess I must have begun conducting with one of the gilded chopsticks Maris wears in her bun and I accidentally ran him through.
Frasier: What young parent doesn't tell that story?
Niles: The scuffs were just plain carelessness. It was the fault of my new houseman, Ngee.
Frasier: What did Ghee do?
Niles: No, it's Ngee.
Frasier: Ghee.
Niles: No, no. With the back of the throat, Ngee.
Frasier: Oh, who cares. What did he do?
Niles: Well, he had just given my car the most brilliant shine when I sat the baby on the roof and down it went, down the windshield and onto the driveway.

Quote from Frasier
Niles: Yes! Here it is. "Extra-refined." It's taking after his old man all ready!
Frasier: No, Niles, that's the sugar. If we're going to do this, we're going to do it right. Now, here is the flour. "Bleached, 100% fat free, best when kept in an airtight container." It seems this one's taking after its mother.
Quote from Frasier
Niles: This traffic is murder. I'd suggest we walk home but I'm afraid what the humidity will do to these loafers. Does calfskin pucker?
Frasier: Yes, Niles. That's why on humid farms, the calf is the most made-fun-of of all the animals.
Quote from Frasier
Niles: You know Frasier, I'm beginning to wonder if this whole experiment wasn't just a way of convincing myself that I'm ready for something when I know in my heart, I'm not.
Frasier: What do you mean?
Niles: I want to have a baby, but I just don't want it enough. That's the hardest thing I've ever had to admit.
Frasier: Why do you say that?
Niles: Oh, because it's so selfish. I'm the right age, I have the money, the energy.
Frasier: Niles, it's only selfish when people have babies for the wrong reasons. I think more people should do what you did and find out if they're really ready. Anyway, just because you feel this way now doesn't mean things can't change a few years down the line.
Niles: Perhaps you're right. Of course, Maris and I will be over forty then. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to look into getting some of her eggs frozen.
Frasier: Oh, I suspect they're only a few degrees away from that now.
