Niles Quote #503

Quote from Niles in The Friend

Niles: Oh, Frasier, I had a breakthrough today with one of my compulsive gamblers and he gave me two tickets to the racetrack on Saturday. It's a luxury box. I thought you might want to go.
Frasier: I would love to Niles. Why don't you want to use them?
Niles: Well, the jockeys if you must know.
Frasier: What?
Niles: Diminutive, underweight figures in expensive silks wielding riding crops. It just reminded me too much of Maris.

Roz: Excuse me, Dr. Crane, we have to stop for a very important public service announcement. ... Have you lost your mind? You're opening yourself up to every creep out there.
Frasier: Oh, Roz, that's exactly the kind of cynicism I'm talking about. I, for one, happen to believe in the kindness of strangers.
Roz: Well I believe in the strangeness of strangers.

Quote from Martin

Daphne: If you don't like this man why did you have dinner with him?
Frasier: Well, I was going to tell him that I didn't want to see him anymore but, you see, it's a bit more delicate than just that. The problem is he's- He's in a wheel chair.
Daphne: So what? If you don't like him, you don't like him.
Frasier: Well, I know that. It's just that I'd hate to have him think it was just because of the chair.
Daphne: I have worked with the disabled for over 10 years now. And if there's one thing I've learned they don't want special treatment.
Martin: [coming from the kitchen] Oh, I forgot to bring in the paper. Daphne would you get it? My leg's just aching and throbbing.
