Frasier Quote #2522

Quote from Frasier in Forgotten But Not Gone

Frasier: Corkmaster, members of the wine cabinet, esteemed brothers and sisters, I come here tonight with a heavy heart. You see, I am resigning from the wine club.
Niles: What? Frasier, this wouldn't have anything to do with my winning the election, would it?
Frasier: No, no, of course not, Niles. I couldn't be happier for you. You see, I've been afforded a marvelous opportunity to pass on what I've learned here to a much larger audience. Starting next week, I will be hosting a new feature on KACL, called "the Wine Corner," just at the end of Gil Chesterton's "Restaurant Beat." [applause] Thank you, thank you.
Reynolds: Can't you do both?
Frasier: Oh well, no. Regrettably no. You see, like this Camembert, I am at my most delicious when I'm not spread too thin. But this isn't goodbye by any stretch of the imagination. Please, I invite each and every one of you to call into my show, so that you can help me get Seattle hooked on our sometimes whimsical, always enlightened brand of discussion. But, I've taken enough time away from Niles. After all, this is his night. He has been elected Corkmaster of this fine club.
Niles: Thank you, Frasier. For a moment I thought you were settling in for a long farewell speech.
Reynolds: Second.
Frasier: All in favor?
Members: Aye!
Frasier: Well, if you insist. It was a short seven years ago, on a night very much like this one, a man had a dream...

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Welcome to "The Wine Corner." I hope you're as excited about this new program as I am. I offer myself as sherpa, a guide, if you will, to lead you through the labyrinth of vintages and wine lists, chateaus and bodegas, and take you hopefully to a whole new level of sophistication...
[later:]
Frasier: In summary, Linda, the year listed on the bottle is not an expiration date. So that wine from 1997 should be perfectly safe to drink.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: I wonder what they're doing at the wine club right now.
Martin: Oh, jeez. Are you gonna do this all night?
Frasier: No, no, Dad, you're right, I'm sorry. It's just that I hate to see a once-proud institution making so many foolish mistakes.
Martin: Well, if it makes you feel any better, the club'll probably fail without you. It'll be no fun. All the members'll resign. This time next month, they'll probably have torn the building down.
Frasier: I never know when you're being facetious.
Martin: Yeah, you do.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: Dad, this isn't necessary.
Niles: Yeah, we-we can talk about this some other time.
Martin: Zip it up, both of you. I just gave up the best meal of my life to come down here, so listen up. Niles, let your brother play.
Niles: Dad, this is not a game. This is a club and Frasier broke the rules!
Frasier: Technically, I-
Martin: Well, then you write a new rule so that Frasier can come back.
Frasier: First, I want an apology-
Martin: I said zip it.
Niles: He did, I heard him.
Martin: Don't get smart. Now, are you gonna let your brother play?
Niles: Dad-
Martin: Are you gonna let your brother play?
Niles: Why-
Martin: Are you gonna let your brother play?
Niles: I-
Martin: Are you gonna let your brother play?
Niles: Fine.
Martin: Am I gonna have any more trouble between you two?
Frasier & Niles: No.
Martin: No, what?
Frasier & Niles: No, sir.
Martin: Good. Now shake hands. That's more like it. Now, if you don't mind, I've got a big plate of Gewurzplatzchen waiting for me at home with my name on it.
