Frasier Quote #1292

Quote from Frasier in Ask Me No Questions

Daphne: Hey.
Frasier: Oh, Daphne.
Daphne: Was that Mrs. Crane's Marta who was just leaving?
Frasier: Yes. Yes, it was. We were just sharing a coffee. Marta helped allay some of my fears about Niles and
Maris getting back together.
Daphne: Yes, I expect she'll be glad to see Dr. Crane back in that household. Well, I should get my beans.
Frasier: Wait, wait. Daphne, what do you mean?
Daphne: Well, I'm sure Dr. Crane acts as a good buffer between Mrs. Crane and the help.
Frasier: Gee, it never occurred to me that Marta might have an ulterior motive.
Daphne: Who can blame her? Mrs. Crane can be a bit demanding. [Daphne goes over to talk to two women]
Frasier: Well, this taints Marta's entire testimony. Is it possible she could have lied to me? With my trained eye there aren't many things that can escape my notice, as I'm sure you've observed, Daphne. Gee, could she have lied to me? Now, you see, the predicament I am in. Every time somebody gives me a valid argument, somebody else comes along and gives me a perfectly valid counter-argument. [Daphne goes to the counter] One minute I think the answer is yes, the next minute I think it's no. God, this is driving me crazy. Well, I've got to stick with it, Niles asked me what I think. That's it... what I think! Of course I don't know what I think right now. Well... [Daphne walks by from the counter] But that's where I should be focused, don't you agree, Daphne?
Daphne: Oh, yes, absolutely.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: Nice cardigan.
Martin: Daphne surprised me with it.
Frasier: You don't seem very happy about it.
Martin: No, well, I'm not. I mean, you just don't give somebody something for no reason, that's my rule.
Frasier: Dad. Spontaneous gift-giving is one of life's great pleasures. Didn't you ever give Mom anything without a warning?
Martin: Yeah, you! Where do you think I got the rule from?

Quote from Niles

Niles: That reminds me, yesterday at the café I asked you a question which you deftly avoided answering. Do you think Maris and I are meant to be together?
Frasier: Right, well. That's a tough question. Well, you know, perhaps the better question would be, do you think you and Maris are meant to be together?
Niles: Hmmm. I serve you up a question, you clumsily bat it back to me. We've hardly missed our squash game at all.

Quote from Martin

Martin: What question?
Frasier: Oh. He asked me if I thought he and Maris were meant to be together.
Martin: Well, if you ask me, you should keep your bazoo shut. You're always getting into trouble opening that big bazoo of yours!
Frasier: How wonderful, Dad, we've found a new word to strike from your vocabulary. Along with patootie and bupkis!
