Frasier Quote #2071
Quote from Frasier in A Tsar is Born
Frasier: But, tell us. How did we get our clock back?
Niles: Yes, yes, yes. Tell us, how did Great-Great-Grandmamma retrieve it?
Dr. Myshkin: Uh, Drs. Crane, your ancestor is not the princess, your ancestor is the scullery maid.
Dr. Myshkin: Well, on behalf of the Russian people, I thank you for retrieving this for us.
Frasier: You mean, you're just going to take it?
Dr. Myshkin: Well, its rightful place is in the Hermitage Museum.
Niles: But this clock has been in our family for generations.
Frasier: Niles.
Dr. Myshkin: Dr. Crane, we could settle this in the courts, but you wouldn't win. Do you really want this to come out in the press?
Frasier: Well, do you really expect us just to let you walk out of here with a precious family heirloom?
Dr. Myshkin: Did I mention that your ancestor, before she married a Noah Crane in 1882, worked as a prostitute in New York?
Frasier: Enjoy your bear.

Quote from Martin
Frasier: Oh, Dad. Niles just reminded me of something I'd completely forgotten. When the appraiser mentioned that the bear was from Russia...
Martin: Oh, yeah. Well, it probably got passed down through your great-great grandmother. She was from Russia.
Frasier: A-ha. He said something about the Romanov family?
Martin: Oh, yeah, that, huh? Are you sure you want to hear about this?
Niles: Yes, Dad.
Martin: Well, I guess you would have found out anyway after I died... We're royalty. But I didn't want you to grow up spoiled, so I abdicated and took a job in Seattle on the police force. It was kind of hard giving up that royal way of life, but I think maybe it's the swans that I miss most.
Quote from Niles
Martin: Oh, that's great. We can go anywhere. You know, the first place I want to go is Elmo, Nebraska. We got a whole mess of cousins down there. [exits]
Frasier: Well, we're out fifteen thousand each.
Niles: And we have to take long trips in a Winnebago.
Quote from Martin
Martin: Hey guys, I thought I'd find you here. You know, you just missed seeing yourselves on The Antiques Roadshow. And you know, the phone's been ringing off the hook, everybody wants to buy that bear clock.
Frasier: You're not thinking of selling it, are you?
Martin: You're damn right I am. Some guy just offered me twenty-six thousand for it. I'm gonna buy me a big, honking fishing boat. A Wave Pounder 450 with a fun deck. Good for fishin', cruisin', or just plain tubin'!
Niles: Did you hear that Frasier? We can go tubin'.
