Niles Quote #1597

Quote from Niles in Motor Skills

Frasier: We're trying to learn last week's material.
Niles: Oh, Frasier, it's useless, it's pointless, it's boring, and really, who cares?
Roz: Wow, it sounds like you guys should just quit.
Frasier: If only we could, Roz. Uh, it's just that Dad and Daphne are so proud of us, we can't let them down. They've already bought mahogany frames so they could showcase our certificates of completion.
Roz: So complete it. I mean, it doesn't mean you have to ace it. Just sit there and nod your head a few times, and you're home free.
Niles: Are you suggesting we... coast?
Frasier: We have never walked the back alleys of underachievement before.
Niles: Dare we? [Frasier shuts his book, Niles follows] Ho! I felt a chill!

Frasier: Oh, would you take off those stupid goggles?
Niles: Well, I'm sorry, it's for safety.
Frasier: Nobody else wore them.
Niles: No one else wore them in gym class either, but then Tommy Fritz scratched his cornea, and then they were mandatory.

Quote from Niles

Randy: Watch me.
Frasier: So you... twist, and then pull. You see, I was twisting and pulling simultaneously, as per your instructions: "twist and pull."
Niles: In the future, the phrase "twist, then pull" might help.
