Frasier Quote #1066
Quote from Frasier in A Cranes' Critique
Frasier: Mr. Houghton, you know, there is one further thing I'd like to add about your book.
T.H. Houghton: Yeah?
Frasier: Well, it's the way you modulated into the second person narrative during the flashback scene. Frankly, it beggars anything Faulkner attempted.
T.H. Houghton: Really? That's very flattering.
Niles: Ooh. Oh, wait, I have one too. The way you so skillfully mirrored the structure of Dante's "Divine Comedy" was inspired.
T.H. Houghton: Really?
Frasier: Yes, yes. But the inferno of the bordello...
Niles: Which we noticed had exactly nine rooms.
Frasier: Uh-huh. To the purgatory of the assembly line and finally to the paradise of the farm.
T.H. Houghton: You both saw that?
Niles: Oh, it practically jumped off the page.
T.H. Houghton: Well, that's very perceptive of you.
Frasier: Well, thank you. I guess it's our turn to be flattered.
T.H. Houghton: You're absolutely right. This whole book is crap!

Quote from Roz
Frasier: You know Roz, I would have thought that the gentleman over there with the flannel shirt would have been more your type.
Roz: Him? Not a chance. See the way he's slurping his orange juice? Sloppy kisser! You can tell right away the guy's no good in bed. He's so cautious. Look at the way he's blowing on his coffee.
[Frasier and Roz turn to Niles who is blowing on his coffee]
Niles: I wasn't trying to cool it. I was simply blowing a foam hole.
Roz: You don't even wrinkle the sheets, do you?
Quote from Martin
Niles: Is it me or is the foam a tad dense today?
Frasier: Like a dreary fog on a Scottish moor.
Niles: Rather than accent it overwhelms. Rather than flirt it assaults.
Martin: Rather than watching the ballgame I have to listen to this.
Quote from Niles
Niles: The atmosphere has to be absolutely perfect.
Frasier: Good point. Let's begin with the lighting.
Niles: Warmer. [Frasier turns the switch slighty] Warmer. [Frasier turns again] A little cooler. [Frasier turns again] A touch warmer. [Frasier turns again] A hair back. [Frasier gives up and goes to the drinks cabinet] No, no, a hair the other way. No, a touch warmer. Perfect.
Frasier: Good.
