Niles Quote #1243

Quote from Niles in Decoys

Roz: No, really, I've had a couple of boyfriends I shouldn't have let get away.
Niles: Serious relationships?
Roz: Yeah. In fact, I can name one right off the top of my head, that lawyer I gave you, Donny?
Niles: Really?
Roz: Yeah. I mean, you only know him professionally, but he's very funny, warm, thoughtful. We were together for about six months, but he really wanted a family and I wasn't ready, so I dumped him. Now I have a family but no Donny. Gee, I wonder who he's seeing these days?
[Niles breaks into smug laughter]
Roz: What's so funny?
Niles: I'll tell you in a minute. [laughing] I just want to savor it. You've been having all the fun.
Roz: So tell me! [laughs with him]
Niles: Donny's Daphne's boyfriend.
Roz: [stops laughing] That's not funny.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: Niles and Roz? It's just ridiculous.
Martin: Oh, not this again.
Frasier: Well, they are just completely incompatible.
Martin: Well, haven't you ever heard about "opposites attracting"? I mean, look at your mother and me. We went together for six months, nobody thought it would last, we had forty happy years together.
Frasier: Never thought of it that way.
Martin: Yeah. And then, there are those relationships where people have a ton of things in common and of course they always work out real well. [laughs]
Frasier: Thank you, Dad, I suppose that was a backhanded comment about me and Lilith.
Martin: Wouldn't it be great if she was flying by here on her broomstick right now?

Quote from Niles

Roz: Why don't you just admit it? You're just doing this because you want Daphne.
Niles: Yes! Yes! Yes, I want Daphne. I think we belong together. Just like I think you and Donny belong together. And why should two people be happy when four people can be ecstatic?

Quote from Niles

Niles: Oh, in a funny way this reminds me of that wonderful moment in "A Streetcar Named Desire" when the brutish Stanley says to the ultra-refined Blanche, "We've had this date with each other from the beginning."
Roz: Well, I don't know the play all that well, but I can tell you right now I'm not all that refined.
Niles: No, actually I was picturing you more as Stanley.
