Niles Quote #375
Quote from Niles in Breaking the Ice
Niles: All right. I'll tell you. You promise not to laugh?
Frasier: You'll have to take that hat off.
Niles: Well, two years ago when you took Dad in, I thought I was getting away with something. But, watching you two get closer, I started to think maybe I was missing out on something.
Frasier: You want him?
Niles: No, no. Let me finish. I just really feel the need to make a connection.
Frasier: Well, Niles, I think you've made a connection. It just seems a little bit extreme though, you know? You probably could have accomplished the same thing if you'd just taken him to Captain Andy's Surf N' Turf!
Niles: And miss out on all the fun of memorizing 101 useless fish facts and buying a large battery-operated wardrobe? [laughs]
Frasier: So you're having just a bad a time as I am!
Niles: Oh, oh, oh, worse! At least you have the fun of complaining, I have to feign enthusiasm. Oh, oh, I really
am King of the Ninnies, aren't I?

‘Breaking the Ice’ Quotes
Quote from Niles
Frasier: Yes, well, Niles, that's quite a gesture. But I mean, really, ice fishing? In an arctic tundra where large men spit and it freezes in their beards?
Niles: After you've seen Maris's interpretive dance group perform "Afternoon of a Faun" in the east garden, the wilderness holds no terror.
Quote from Niles
Daphne: Well, I'd go, but to me the pleasure of fishing has always been waiting for the men to return with their catch. Oh, I can still see my brothers' friends coming back from the lake, their chiseled faces all ruddy and wind-burnt. Oh, they were so masculine, I just couldn't wait to pan fry their kippers.
Niles: I'll go ice fishing, Dad.
Quote from Daphne
Frasier: So you're suggesting that I go along and pretend I'm enjoying myself, doing something that gives me absolutely no pleasure at all, just to hear the words "I love you?"
Daphne: Why not? Women have been doing it for centuries.
