Quote from Niles in The Friend
Frasier: What exactly is your point, Dad? That I've lost my knack for making friends?

Daphne: You burned down the garage?
Niles: Well, between Frasier and his Bunsen burner and me and my mosquito repellent, in retrospect it was unavoidable.

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.
