Niles Quote #280
Quote from Niles in Seat of Power
Niles: You have the big Mercedes?
Danny: Oh, yeah. And I gotta tell you, my 13 year-old's already got his eye on it. That's a great kid right there. Except he got in a fight at school the other day.
[Danny bends down and puts his head in the toilet]
Niles: Oh, really? [reaches to flush the toilet] With some small-boned child with superior language skills?
Danny: Nah. [Danny looks up] It was some big jerk on the football team who tried to steal his lunch money.
Niles: Ah, well, there's nothing like a bully.
Danny: Well, I gotta tell you, I'd rather he'd be a bully than one of those wussy kids that always get picked on. You know the kind I'm talking about? Kids who are too gutless to fight back?
Niles: So, you admire someone who fights back, do you?
[Niles raises his foot close to Danny's head, but he pulls it back when Danny looks up]
Danny: Well, sure. I mean, if you don't fight back, what are you? You're a wuss, you're a wimp, you're a-
[Frasier enters. He stops Niles from grabbing for Danny's head.]
Frasier: Stop! Niles, leave the man alone while he's trying to work.

Quote from Niles
Niles: When you think about it, our only mistake today was trying to fix that toilet ourselves.
Frasier: Yes, we tampered with the natural order of things.
Niles: But now, order has been restored. By hiring a plumber, that plumber can now afford, say, a Dolly Parton album. Miss Parton can then finance a national tour which will, of course, come to Seattle, allowing some local promoter to make enough money to send his cross-dressing teenage son to us for $150-an-hour therapy.
Frasier: To the circle of life.
Quote from Niles
Danny: No, I'm sorry. I just don't remember you.
Niles: Well, perhaps you'll remember third period gym class. You used to make me wear my jockstrap like a tiara?
Danny: Oh, yeah! Were you the kid who used to carry his gym shorts in an attaché case?
Niles: It was a valise.
Danny: I remember you. Boy, those were some crazy times. You ever see any of the old gang?
Niles: Look, you're missing the point. I was severely scarred by those experiences.
Danny: Hey, wait a minute. I can't defend everything I did back in junior high, I mean who can? But let's face it, when you show up at school wearing a tweed blazer with elbow patches and carrying a valise, I mean, I think the guilt here is fifty-fifty.
Quote from Frasier
Daphne: Eddie?! Let's go for another walk.
Martin: I thought you already walked him this morning?
Daphne: I did, twice.
Martin: He's gotta go again?
Daphne: No, actually I do. That didn't sound right. There's a very nice-looking gentleman who plays frisbee in the park with his Labrador. Eddie and I are hoping to run into them again. Come on, Eddie. He's just playing hard to get.
Frasier: I'm glad somebody is.
