Niles Quote #376
Quote from Niles in Breaking the Ice
Frasier: Want to know the reason I came up here?
Niles: Hmm.
Frasier: It was just to hear him say the words "I love you."
Niles: What?
Frasier: Yeah, well, you know, he said it to Duke, he said it to Eddie. He's never said it to me.
Niles: Surely you don't put yourself up there with Eddie? [they both laugh] Oh, Frasier, you know he loves you!
Frasier: Oh, yeah, of course I do. I'm being ridiculous, I know that. I mean, look at the guy. He's content just to sit here freezing his buns off because we're sitting here with him. I guess I just got a little obsessed about, you
know, hearing it. Well, I mean, you know that Maris loves you, right? But it's still nice to hear it.
Niles: I imagine it would be, but let's stick to attainable goals.

‘Breaking the Ice’ Quotes
Quote from Niles
Frasier: Yes, well, Niles, that's quite a gesture. But I mean, really, ice fishing? In an arctic tundra where large men spit and it freezes in their beards?
Niles: After you've seen Maris's interpretive dance group perform "Afternoon of a Faun" in the east garden, the wilderness holds no terror.
Quote from Niles
Daphne: Well, I'd go, but to me the pleasure of fishing has always been waiting for the men to return with their catch. Oh, I can still see my brothers' friends coming back from the lake, their chiseled faces all ruddy and wind-burnt. Oh, they were so masculine, I just couldn't wait to pan fry their kippers.
Niles: I'll go ice fishing, Dad.
Quote from Daphne
Frasier: So you're suggesting that I go along and pretend I'm enjoying myself, doing something that gives me absolutely no pleasure at all, just to hear the words "I love you?"
Daphne: Why not? Women have been doing it for centuries.
