Martin Quote #929

Quote from Martin in Motor Skills

Frasier: No, no, we are serious, Dad. Niles and I felt completely helpless last night when my car broke down.
Niles: And I vowed never to be humiliated that way again.
Frasier: You know, I'm more than a little convinced that's why Chelsea turned me down for a second date.
Daphne: I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. If I had to guess, I'd say it was all that blubbering at the opera that killed your chances.
Frasier: But it was Ben Heppner singing Tristan!
Niles: You'd have to be stone not to weep at his tragic end!
Martin: Hey, hey! [covering his ears] Haven't seen it yet.
