Martin Quote #1159

Quote from Martin in Proxy Prexy

Paul: We should have had more faith in you. You've had a lot of good ideas so far.
Martin: Well, actually, I've got something to tell you about those good ideas.
Frasier: Dad. [scratches his nose]
Martin: All that good stuff, all the stuff you were crazy about, it all came from Frasier. From the very beginning, he's been the one running things and I think we should give him a little credit.
Frasier: Well thank you, Dad, that's very kind of you.
Martin: In fact, uh, having me run was Frasier's idea.
Frasier: Dad [scratching his nose again]
Martin: He figured that- He figured that you'd go for his policies if they came from somebody else.
Albert: So this whole thing was a scam.
Martin: Well, I wouldn't call it a scam. It was just a fake-out.

Quote from Martin

Martin: Well, if you're so sure you're indispensable, maybe you should run for president. Oh, wait. You did. Five times.
Frasier: They wouldn't love you so much if it weren't for my ideas.
Martin: Right, because you need a Ph. D. to think about repainting the lobby. Oh, wait. You don't.
Frasier: Would you stop doing that?
Martin: You're right. It's not an effective way to argue. Oh, wait. It is.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Hi, Daph, uh, listen. I could use an objective opinion. I am running for condo board president, and I want to know what you think of this as a slogan. "Frasier Crane: The People's Elixir."
Martin: Okay, I'm ready for my exercises now.
Frasier: Please, Dad, this is serious. I have a feeling this could be my year.
Daphne: Don't you say that every year.
Frasier: Yes, I do, but this year, I am the only one running against the incumbent, which means the people will rally their inchoate yearnings for change behind my banner.
Martin: You're full of catchy slogans.

Quote from Martin

Martin: Frasier, don't get your hopes up too high. I mean, name one person on the condo board you haven't ticked off at least once.
Frasier: That's just because I have a Type-A, hands-on, get-it-done personality.
Martin: Seriously, name one. You know, Fras, you might be the best man for the job, but a friendly smile and a "How do you do" in the hallway goes a lot further than being "The People's Laxative."
Frasier: Elixir.
