Martin Quote #1085

Quote from Martin in The Proposal

Niles: Excuse me? I'd like to see that one, please.
Jewelry Clerk: Excellent choice, sir.
Frasier: Do you know her ring size?
Niles: Oh, even better, her ring finger is exactly the same size as mine.
Jewelry Clerk: Well, perhaps you should try this on, then.
Niles: Oh, it's... [He drops the ring. Frasier bends down to get it] Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous. I think it just hit me what this all means.
[Frasier groans]
Niles: What happened?
Frasier: Nothing. It's just my back. It's been acting up a bit in the last week.
Niles: Well, here, do you want me to give you a hand up?
Frasier: No, no. Here's the ring, I'll just stay down here for a moment. [hands over the ring] Does it fit? Oh, here, let me help. No, come on. Oh, Niles.
Niles: Frasier, it's perfect. You know, I always dreamed this would happen!
[Everyone in the stores starts to applaud]
Martin: No, wait. They're not a couple. Oh, jeez.

Quote from Niles

Niles: You know, it's funny. You could take a million years to plan the perfect evening, and you'd never come up with this. Daphne, I have to ask you a question.
Daphne: Hold on. [Blows nose loudly. Stops briefly. Repeats] You were saying?
Niles: Daphne Moon, will you, and your beautiful toes and your exquisite ankles and your precious knees, elbows and arms and fingers, shoulders... Will you marry me?
Daphne: Oh, Niles! Of course I will.

Quote from Niles

Roz: Well, maybe if you cut it down a little bit, you could get through it before the waterworks start. Let me take a look. Well, what about this paragraph here? I mean, aren't words like "hopeless" and "despairing" kind of a downer in a proposal?
Niles: Oh, well this is where I describe my life before I met her. See, and then comes the part where she comes along and the meter changes to a more sprightly iambic: "Now my life has meaning." Things that never made sense before suddenly are clear. It's all because of this... wonderful woman.

Quote from Gertrude

Gertrude: What a wonderful sunset. I bet you ordered it just for me, didn't you, Marty?
Martin: Actually, the sun goes down almost every night.
Gertrude: Oh, you.
