Frasier Quote #3164
Quote from Frasier in Fathers and Sons
Leland: Frasier, this is remarkable. You and I seem to have the same taste in art. Rauschenberg, Otterson, African statuary and sculpture. Although, I must confess, I'm not familiar with that one.
Frasier: Oh, that's because while most Ashanti statues are intended to ward off evil spirits, this one was designed to distract me while my pockets were picked at the Kinshasa Airport.

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"]
Quote from Niles
Niles: [on the phone with Daphne] Okay, so Delilah is out? No, that's fine, that's fine. What are your ideas? Taylor. Fletcher. Cooper. Tanner. Where are you getting these, the Big Book of Medieval Professions?
