Daphne Quote #381

Quote from Daphne in Father of the Bride

Daphne: [on the phone] I know, Mum, but it is my wedding. I've given into you on so many things. Couldn't this one thing go my way? I just don't like those tiny corns in my salad. No, I don't hate you. Well, that's just not true. I'm glad you're alive. All right, all right, tiny corn it is. I've got to run now, cheery bye. [hangs up] That was Mum. She had a thought about the salad.
Frasier: Something tells me yesterday's crouton skirmish wasn't the end of it.
Daphne: I suppose she can be a bit overbearing. But as she often points out, she is paying for the wedding and I am her only daughter. And giving birth to me was so painful she did bite through a kitchen spoon.
Frasier: Daphne, just don't let you mother guilt you into having the wedding that she wants instead of the wedding you want.
Daphne: Oh, don't worry. Mum has already promised me I could have the wedding I want, as soon as I have a daughter who gets engaged.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: You know, it suddenly occurred to me when I was talking to Daphne that I never really got the wedding of my dreams either. Oh sure, you know, my first one was a little clandestine affair. We dashed off to City
Hall. I could have hardly imagined a wedding more lacking in ceremony. Until my second wedding, which was lacking a bride. Then came Lilith. If I knew then what I know now, I would have walked down the aisle with the ice sculpture and had her stand by the buffet table to keep the shrimp cold.

Quote from Niles

Niles: All right, what is it?
Frasier: Niles, it's about Sabrina. She's a prostitute.
Niles: Frasier, I don't like lawyers anymore than you do. But frankly a man whose face is plastered on every bus in town should be careful what terms he bandies about.

Quote from Martin

Reverend Franklin: Surely you can stay a little while? I haven't seen Niles in ages. You know, I used to teach him in Sunday school.
Martin: Oh, you know Reverend, I can still remember dropping him off for his first class. It seems like only yesterday.
[Harp music, of the kind used to indicate a flashback on a TV show, is heard. Everyone looks around, until Frasier remembers the harpist warming up for her audition]
