Frasier Quote #2090
Quote from Frasier in The Apparent Trap
Frasier: Good Lord, here we are writing an article on taking your child through a divorce. And our own son is nursing the hopeless fantasy that we'll get back together. We've got to go talk with him.
Lilith: No. Wait a minute. Something is not right here. When has Frederick ever expressed the slightest desire to see us together?
Frasier: He could have been sublimating it for years.
Lilith: Even so, he lied to both of us. He had to have known that we'd compare notes.
Frasier: All right, so his plan was a little artless.
Lilith: Unless... That's exactly what he wanted.
Frasier: What do you mean?
Lilith: Think about it. He makes us believe that he wants us together. Of course, we have to tell him that that's not going to happen. His hopes are dashed and we feel so guilty that we compensate by getting him something he wants.
Frasier: A minibike?

Quote from Daphne
[After the doorbell rings, Frasier opens the door to Daphne, who struggles to drag Eddie into the apartment]
Daphne: Come on, Eddie. Come on.
Frasier: What's the matter?
Daphne: He was perfectly fine until a block from here. Then he started whining and trembling, like he senses an earthquake or a dark force or - Hello, Lilith - a vortex of evil.
Quote from Lilith
Lilith: I was talking to a friend that works at the New York Times Magazine about raising a child after divorce and she pointed out that as a psychiatrist, I might have a unique perspective.
Frederick: You know, since it's about me, shouldn't I get something for it?
Lilith: You're not getting a minibike.
Frederick: But Mom!
Lilith: We have talked about this. You can get one when you are fifteen.
Frederick: But all my friends have minibikes.
Lilith: Yes, and if all of your friends decided to enter a Level Four biohazard area without their environmental containment suits, would you do that, too?
Quote from Niles
Lilith: Did you wash your hands, Frederick?
Frederick: Yeah. Uncle Niles even showed me how to open the door with my elbow so I don't need to touch the handle.
Niles: What are uncles for?
