Martin Quote #319
Quote from Martin in Moon Dance
Niles: Besides, what's the harm in a few dance lessons?
Martin: It's nighttime. You're alone. The music's on. You've got your arms around her. You'll end up saying something you can't take back.
Niles: I have no intention of saying anything.
Martin: No one ever does. Take my word for it. When I was separated from your mother, there was this pretty coroner in the city morgue. I always had a bit of a crush on her. Whenever we'd find a dead body, I'd yell out, "Okay, boys, I'll take it from here." So, this one night, I invited her down to the corner bar.
Niles: Coroners have their own bars?
Martin: No, corner, Niles. The corner bar! Anyway, we had a few drinks, the lights were low, Sinatra on the jukebox. Before I knew it, it just all came pouring out of me. I told her how I felt. I mean, I knew the second it was out of my mouth that it was a mistake. She let me down easy but we still had to go on seeing each other all the time. It was no fun going to the morgue after that.

Quote from Niles
Martin: You know, Niles, I think your problem is you still picture yourself as the same geeky kid you were in high school. But you've come a long way since then. And you're not doing yourself any favors sitting home every night. Now just think about it.

Daphne: Wine, Dr. Crane?
Niles: Well, wouldn't you?
Quote from Martin
Niles: This is boring yet difficult.
Martin: Ah, there's no trick to dancing. It's just a matter of coordination. Hell, if you can ride a bike, or skip rope,
or kick a ball, you can certainly...
Quote from Niles
Niles: Oh, I just stopped by to ask you a question. Are you free Saturday night?
Martin: Sure.
Niles: Well, I'm not. I have a date.
Martin: Oh.
Daphne: Oh. Bravo, Dr. Crane.
Martin: Good for you. Who is she?
Niles: Marjorie Nash, the "Fruit On The Bottom" yogurt heiress. I bumped into her at the Frye museum. Before I knew it, your advice was thundering in my ears. I found myself asking her out. We'll be attending our club's annual winter dance, the "Snow Ball!"
Martin: Good for you.
Daphne: What's she like?
Niles: Well, she's terribly haughty and rumors persist about her husband's death, but still, a date's a date.
