Martin Quote #420
Quote from Martin in Our Father Whose Art Ain't Heaven
Martin: You know? I think I may have something else to give you. Something that I know you'll really like. I'll be back in a minute.
[As Martin goes to his room, Frasier looks again at the painting. He tries to bring himself to like it, but he just can't.
Martin: I've been holding onto this for quite a while now, waiting for the right time.
Frasier: My goodness, Dad. I'm speechless. Your ba- Bolo tie!
Martin: They gave it to your Grandfather when he retired from the force. When I graduated from the Academy he gave it to me, and now I'm giving it to you, and someday you'll give it to Frederick.
Frasier: Well, I don't know what to say.
Martin: You're not going to start crying, are you?
Frasier: No, no, no. It's just a surprise, that's all.
Martin: Hey, wait a minute. You didn't think I was going to give you my badge, did you?
Frasier: Well, I...
Martin: My badge? That's a laugh. You'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands!
Frasier: It's a date!

‘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.
