Quote from Frasier in A Passing Fancy

Frasier: All right, Kirby, we've got a few minutes before your mother gets here. One last question. In our studies this week, what did we learn about William Henry Harrison?
Kirby: Well, I guess I would say that this week we learned that William Henry Harrison was... a great man... who was important ...because he was...
Frasier: President?
Kirby: No. Yes! Yes.

Kirby: Fortieth?

Kirby: Sort of.
Frasier: What does "sort of" mean?

Quote from Martin

Martin: You know that guy, Roger, on fourteen, has that little Scottish Terrier?
Frasier: MacDuff?
Martin: Right. Well, Roger's invited all these dogs from the park to a party, for MacDuff's birthday. Except Eddie, thank God. Have you ever heard of anything more ridiculous?
Frasier: I see. And putting a hat on Eddie, for every major holiday, that's normal?
Martin: Well, it's not every holiday.
Frasier: Oh, Dad, please. He's got a Santa cap for Christmas, he's got a top hat for New Year's Eve, he's got a tam o'shanter for St. Patrick's day...
Martin: Well, they're just hats. I mean, it's not a whole party. I mean, a dog doesn't know it's his birthday any more than he knows it's Friday or Saturday or...
Frasier: Or Cinco de Mayo?
Martin: That sombrero was a gift.

Quote from Martin

Martin: It's nice you're helping the kid out.
Frasier: Yeah, well, truth be told, Dad, I'm actually... I've made a little agreement with Lana. You see, if I help Kirby get a passing grade, Lana will set me up with one of her girlfriends, Claire.
Martin: Oh. I remember when you used to tutor kids so they wouldn't beat you up. So I guess this is progress, huh?

Quote from Frasier

Lana: Good. Not bad. So you're one step closer to getting your prom privileges back.
Kirby: Mom, I told you, I'm not going.
Lana: Why not? Because you and Kristi broke up?
Kirby: Thanks for spreading that around, Mom.
Lana: Oh, Frasier doesn't care. He went to the prom with his brother.
Frasier: Thanks for spreading that around.
