Frasier Quote #446

Quote from Frasier in The Candidate

Frasier: Hello, Seattle. I'm back. This is Dr. Frasier Crane and I have just learned during the commercial break that it has become public knowledge that Phil Patterson, candidate for Congress, believes in aliens from outer space. Not only does he believe in them, he believes he has met with them. That he was beamed aboard their spaceship for a little interplanetary tete-a-tete. [Roz shakes her head at Frasier] Shocked? Well, all right. [Roz knocks on the glass] But I say, let's ask ourselves these questions. Has this harmless delusion, most likely brought on by overwork and sleep deprivation, adversely affected his voting record in any way? I ask you, and I say no. What great leader doesn't have his quirks? Ronald Reagan saw an astrologist. General Patton believed in reincarnation. Even J. Edgar Hoover let his slip show once in a while! People, we're talking about a great leader here! We shouldn't concern ourselves with these minor eccentricities. What's important, what really counts, is what's in here. I'm pointing at my chest now.

Quote from Niles

Phil Patterson: Thanks again, Frasier.
Niles: Oh, our pleasure, Phil. The Crane family has a long history of political involvement. You know, my wife Maris actually has all our servants down at your campaign headquarters licking envelopes. She'd do it herself, but the poor thing can't produce saliva.

Quote from Martin

TV Announcer: And now another American for Holden Thorpe.
Martin: [on TV] Hi, I'm Marty Crane.
Frasier: Oh, dear God.
Martin: [on TV] For thirty years I was a cop walking a beat in Seattle. Then my hip was shattered by an assassin's bullet - an assassin who wouldn't have been on the streets if it weren't for those bleeding hearts we sent to Congress. I used to carry a gun. Now I carry a cane. I'm voting to elect Holden Thorpe. He's running because I can't.

Quote from Niles
