Martin Quote #979

Quote from Martin in Forgotten But Not Gone

Frasier: Listen, my father's been, well, letting his exercises slide a bit.
Frederika: Oh well, that's human nature, Dr. Crane. People neglect their exercising for many reasons — holidays, travel, illness, lack of time, death... And there's only one of those excuses that I accept. It's holidays! [laughs] Oh, it's just your leg I'm pulling!
Martin: Oh, well, good one. You know, I was worried that you were going to be one of those drill-sergeant types.
Frederika: You'll show me your exercise mat.
Martin: That's my other leg you're pulling, huh?
Frederika: Now!

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Welcome to "The Wine Corner." I hope you're as excited about this new program as I am. I offer myself as sherpa, a guide, if you will, to lead you through the labyrinth of vintages and wine lists, chateaus and bodegas, and take you hopefully to a whole new level of sophistication...
[later:]
Frasier: In summary, Linda, the year listed on the bottle is not an expiration date. So that wine from 1997 should be perfectly safe to drink.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: I wonder what they're doing at the wine club right now.
Martin: Oh, jeez. Are you gonna do this all night?
Frasier: No, no, Dad, you're right, I'm sorry. It's just that I hate to see a once-proud institution making so many foolish mistakes.
Martin: Well, if it makes you feel any better, the club'll probably fail without you. It'll be no fun. All the members'll resign. This time next month, they'll probably have torn the building down.
Frasier: I never know when you're being facetious.
Martin: Yeah, you do.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: Dad, this isn't necessary.
Niles: Yeah, we-we can talk about this some other time.
Martin: Zip it up, both of you. I just gave up the best meal of my life to come down here, so listen up. Niles, let your brother play.
Niles: Dad, this is not a game. This is a club and Frasier broke the rules!
Frasier: Technically, I-
Martin: Well, then you write a new rule so that Frasier can come back.
Frasier: First, I want an apology-
Martin: I said zip it.
Niles: He did, I heard him.
Martin: Don't get smart. Now, are you gonna let your brother play?
Niles: Dad-
Martin: Are you gonna let your brother play?
Niles: Why-
Martin: Are you gonna let your brother play?
Niles: I-
Martin: Are you gonna let your brother play?
Niles: Fine.
Martin: Am I gonna have any more trouble between you two?
Frasier & Niles: No.
Martin: No, what?
Frasier & Niles: No, sir.
Martin: Good. Now shake hands. That's more like it. Now, if you don't mind, I've got a big plate of Gewurzplatzchen waiting for me at home with my name on it.
