Gertrude Quote #25

Quote from Gertrude in The Proposal

Gertrude: You know, Marty, I'm not surprised you asked me out.
Martin: Um, you're not?
Gertrude: Oh, don't be coy. A romantic boat ride to a remote island. I know when a man's trying to seduce me.
Martin: Uh, Mrs. Moon...
Gertrude: Oh, it was inevitable, really. I mean, here we are, two comfortable old shoes, looking for new mates.
Martin: Actually, I'm not that comfortable.
Gertrude: Oh, maybe you just need someone to break you in.

Quote from Niles

Niles: You know, it's funny. You could take a million years to plan the perfect evening, and you'd never come up with this. Daphne, I have to ask you a question.
Daphne: Hold on. [Blows nose loudly. Stops briefly. Repeats] You were saying?
Niles: Daphne Moon, will you, and your beautiful toes and your exquisite ankles and your precious knees, elbows and arms and fingers, shoulders... Will you marry me?
Daphne: Oh, Niles! Of course I will.

Quote from Niles

Roz: Well, maybe if you cut it down a little bit, you could get through it before the waterworks start. Let me take a look. Well, what about this paragraph here? I mean, aren't words like "hopeless" and "despairing" kind of a downer in a proposal?
Niles: Oh, well this is where I describe my life before I met her. See, and then comes the part where she comes along and the meter changes to a more sprightly iambic: "Now my life has meaning." Things that never made sense before suddenly are clear. It's all because of this... wonderful woman.

Quote from Gertrude

Gertrude: What a wonderful sunset. I bet you ordered it just for me, didn't you, Marty?
Martin: Actually, the sun goes down almost every night.
Gertrude: Oh, you.
