Martin Quote #419
Quote from Martin in Our Father Whose Art Ain't Heaven
Frasier: Don't you think we ought to talk about what happened this afternoon?
Martin: Nothing happened this afternoon.
Frasier: Look, Dad. I know you're disappointed about the painting.
Martin: That's not a problem.
Frasier: Well, you said yourself that it wasn't as easy for you to give me things as it was when I was a kid.
Martin: Yeah, well I wasn't very good at it then either. Your Mother always picked all your stuff out.
Frasier: Still, you did put a roof over my head. Sent me to school.
Martin: All right. You want to talk about this? We'll talk about it. Do people ever come up to you after they've met me and say, "How can that guy be your father? He's nothing like you."
Frasier: Well...
Martin: 'Cause they've been saying that to me about you for the last forty years! I just thought that- I don't know. I'd finally given you something. Something you liked. Something we both liked. That we had something in common or something. It's no big deal. I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

‘Our Father Whose Art Ain't Heaven’ Quotes
Quote from Niles
Niles: [on the phone] Hello? Ah, Winchett, so looking forward to seeing you at the party. Oh, how dreadful. Oh, you poor thing. No, no, of course I understand. The important thing is that you get better. You are a dear for calling... [hanging up] You lying, two-faced cow.
Frasier: So she's not really sick?
Niles: Oh, hardly. Maris is luring away all my confirmed guests. Suddenly there are accidents, deaths in the family... A wave of misfortune is sweeping through society's blue bloods at a rate unprecedented since the French Revolution.
Quote from Frasier
Niles: Maris has chosen the exact same night to throw a party of her own.
Frasier: Well, couldn't you ask her to postpone?
Niles: I tried. She's already flown in a sculptor from Sweden to capture her likeness in ice.
Frasier: Ah, the perfect marriage of subject and medium.
Quote from Frasier
Greg: "...and lately I've had the chronic fluctuating mood disturbances which would indicate cyclothymic disorder. I mean, the hypomanic symptoms are there and yet I'm experiencing moments of aphasia and apraxia and I just want to pull my teeth out, Dr. Crane. What do you think?"
Frasier: Well, Greg, two possible diagnoses come to mind. Either you are seriously mentally ill and you should be institutionalized immediately, or you are a first-year psychology student.
Greg: "Oh yeah, yeah, I'm at UW."
Frasier: Yes, well, it's not uncommon for students to feel that they're manifesting symptoms that they are studying. It'll pass.
Greg: "What do I do till it passes?"
Frasier: Well, just relax. Though it might be a good idea to postpone reading about male sexual disorder until after spring break.
