Frasier Quote #2413
Quote from Frasier in Frasier's Edge
Dr. Tewksbury: So, you were drawn to psychiatry not because you like to help people, but because you feared them.
Frasier: I feared them?
Dr. Tewksbury: Psychiatry gives you objectivity. Objectivity gives you emotional distance. Distance makes you feel safe.
Frasier: Yes, yes, granted. But what does that got to do with me?
Dr. Tewksbury: How's your practice?
Frasier: I don't have a practice, I have a radio show.
Dr. Tewksbury: Distance. Any children?
Frasier: Yes, I have a wonderful son with whom I'm very close.
Dr. Tewksbury: You live with him?
Frasier: He lives in Boston.
Dr. Tewksbury: Distance. With your wife.
Frasier: My ex-wife. Yes, I know, distance.
Dr. Tewksbury: Wasn't she a psychiatrist?
Frasier: Yes, she was. She happens to be a damn good one, too.
Dr. Tewksbury: Well, that's a handy choice for someone who'd rather share ideas than emotions.
Frasier: Have you ever met Lilith?
Dr. Tewksbury: No.
Frasier: Well, she happens to be a very warm and loving woman!
