Martin Quote #243
Quote from Martin in Breaking the Ice
Martin: Anyway, just because I didn't say it doesn't mean I don't mean it or feel it.
Frasier: Dad, that's exactly what we were saying.
Niles: Absolutely.
Martin: Yeah, well, my Dad never said it, but I know he felt it. I mean, feeling it's the same as saying it, isn't it?
Frasier: Dad, you don't have to say it.
Martin: Well, did it ever occur to you that- Maybe I want to say it? You know, your mother used to get all over me about not saying stuff, too. Well, I can't say it if you're looking at me!
Niles: Would it help you if we left?
Martin: Just for that, I'm doing you second!

‘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.
