‘Room Service’
Season 5, Episode 15 - Aired March 3, 1998
When Lilith comes to town with news that her husband has left her, Frasier tasks Niles with keeping them from ending up in bed together.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Lord, aren't we a pair: a narcoleptic and a weak-willed sexual obsessive. We're like a couple of brothers out of an O'Neill play!
Quote from Lilith
Niles: Frasier is going to kill us. Oh, why did you have to look so damned bewitching all evening?
Lilith: Why did you have to drive me home and walk me to my door?
Niles: Oh, there's no point pointing fingers. We both know why this happened. Last night was simply two wounded people overcome with loneliness, confusion and...
Lilith: Tequila shooters.
Quote from Niles
Niles: Are we okay?
Frasier: No, we're not ... but we will be.
Niles: Well, that's enough for now. We're an odd little family, aren't we?
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Good afternoon, Betsy. I'm listening.
Betsy: "Hi, Dr. Crane. My problem is that my husband wants to take me on a cruise for our anniversary."
[Roz holds up a sign reading "Bathroom", but Frasier ignores her]
Frasier: Well, that sounds enchanting.
Betsy: "Yes, except I keep having this dream where I'm in a cabin asleep, and all of a sudden I see a drop of water beginning to leak in and at first it's just a trickle, but then it's a stream, and then it's gushing, pouring water everywhere and there's nothing in the world that I can do to stop the flow".
[Roz rushes to the bathroom]
Frasier: That's a very powerful image, wouldn't you say so, Roz? [sees her leaving] ... Roz agrees.
Quote from Lilith
Lilith: Excuse me, I'm looking for Frasier Crane, they told me he'd be up here.
Roz: Lilith it's me, Roz... Doyle.
Lilith: Oh, yes, Frasier's fun-loving producer... who's apparently having a bit too much fun loving.
Roz: You know, I'd love to send one back at you, but I gotta pee.
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: You know, you really shouldn't be alone tonight. Uh, Niles and I are attending a reception at the Union Club, would you like to join us?
Lilith: Oh thank you Frasier, I'd love to. I don't if I deserve your compassion, but I feel better already just holding your strong comforting hands.
Frasier: You know I'll always be here for you.
Lilith: Oh. I could stay in these arms all day.
Frasier: Uh, yes, well, um, you'll have to excuse me. I have an appointment, station manager, very important,
can't be broken. I'll, um, see you tonight. Bye bye.
Quote from Niles
Frasier: Now go easy on her. Her husband has left her and, get this, for a man.
Niles: Damn. I owe Dad five dollars.
Quote from Niles
Niles: Excuse me. [answering his phone] Yes? Damn, it's one of Maris's cadre of lawyers. Uh, we've been over that. No, I can't. How dare you? She already has the house. I'm not even allowed to visit the koi pond. Uh-huh. Uh-huh... [snoring]
Frasier: Niles!
Niles: I'm not even allowed to visit the koi pond.
Frasier: Oh, give me that!
Quote from Martin
Martin: Hello, Niles.
Niles: Evening, Dad, Daphne.
Frasier: Hello, Niles. Sherry? I think we have time before Lilith arrives.
Martin: What? You never said she was coming up here.
Daphne: You just said you were going to dinner.
Martin: You never said she was coming up here!
Frasier: It's just to rendezvous, it's all of two minutes.
Martin: But you never told me. You've been home an hour and you never told me. Not a word, did he say anything to you?
Daphne: No, nothing. [to Frasier] You could have told us, you know, we could have made plans to be elsewhere.
Martin: Well, how come you didn't know about it? You used to know these things. Whenever she came around you'd get a headache.
Quote from Martin
Frasier: All right, she's coming. Both of you, suck it up. Lilith has had a devastating week. Her husband has left her. The least you could do is show a little compassion, unless, of course, you'd like to go hide in your rooms because two minutes of polite conversation with a woman in need is too much to ask.
[Doorbell rings]
Martin: Outta my way!
Daphne: Me too!
[Martin drops his cane]
Martin: Leave it!
