Quote from Frasier in Fathers and Sons

Leland: Can I help you?
Frasier: I'm sorry about that.
Martin: Eddie, down.
Leland: Why is he doing that?
Frasier: I don't really know. He used to do that to me. But I'll tell you what, just don't get in a staring contest with him. That's what he wants.

Quote from Niles

Niles: How about Desmond?
Daphne: Desmond Crane. "Desmond Crane, you are hereby sentenced to..." No, I don't like it. What about Jack?
Niles: 'fraid not. The first name ends with the same sound that begins the last name. So you either end up running them together, "Jack-rane", or you face the dreaded glottal stop, "Jack Crane", "Jack Crane". It's unpleasant for the throat.
Daphne: This conversation's unpleasant for the throat.

Quote from Roz

Roz: Oh, my God. Are you still stuck picking a name for that application?
Daphne: Yeah, we can't come up with one.
Roz: Oh God, give it to me. And then I'll fill it in and you'll never have to see it and you won't feel stuck with it.
Daphne: That's a great idea.

Dean of Admissions: Howard Clifton is officially accepted. Who do we have next?
Admissions Officer: Last name "Crane", first name... "Ichabod".
Dean of Admissions: Well, if they're not going to take the application seriously, how can we expect them to take St. Osric's seriously?
[He stamps the Cranes' application with "Admission Denied"]
