‘The Last Time I Saw Maris’

Season 3, Episode 8 -  Aired November 28, 1995

Niles is worried sick when Maris disappears, but his worry turns to anger when Frasier helps him see how inconsiderate her behavior was.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Maris? Maris, we need to talk! Oh, look, look, I know you're up there, I can see you through the shutters! All right, if you won't talk, listen. Niles didn't ask me to come here. I came because I care about both of you. I realize that Niles spoke to you rather harshly today. Truth be told, is it was I that urged him to express his anger. As hard as it was for you to listen to such criticism, you're a fair-minded woman and you must concede that he had a right to be upset! Ah, ah, Maris. By opening that window you're opening up a window to a long and happy marriage, that's good.
[A bucketful of water lands on Frasier's head]
Frasier: All right, you're expressing your anger. That's good, too! But, listen, in spite of that last little outburst, I am not going to leave here until we've had some sort of a breakthrough! [attack dogs barking] Well, I see our time is up, I'll let myself out.

Quote from Frasier

[Eddie is standing behind Frasier as he looks in the refrigerator]
Frasier: I know you're there. After last night, frankly, I've had quite enough of your kind. You can stare all you like. I'm not going to give you anything to eat.
[Daphne quietly walks in and whimpers like a dog]
Frasier: Oh, all right, here. You might as well finish off this god-awful Shepherd's Pie that Daphne made. Lord knows it isn't fit for humans. [turns around and sees Daphne] Did that sound like "humans?" I said "Mormons."

Quote from Daphne

Daphne: I don't want to alarm you, Dr. Crane, but I'm getting a very strong vibration off this.
Niles: Oh, dear God.
Daphne: I can see Mrs. Crane. She's waving this poker around and screaming, "You thief! Get out! You'll never get away with this!"
Niles: Wait. No, I remember. That's what she said to the decorator when he tried to double-bill her for the andirons.
Daphne: I was wondering why the intruder was wearing Toreador pants.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Hi-ho, everyone. What are you all doing inside on such a beautiful, clear autumn day?
Frasier: Niles, you seem awfully chipper this morning.
Niles: Well, I woke up this morning and I had a realization. Like it or not, my life is changing. I'm single now, so I went out and rented a bachelor pad. Ooh, is that coffee?
Martin: Don't you think that's jumping the gun a little bit?
Niles: Oh no, Dad. Maris, uh, ordered me to get my stuff out of there by sundown, or else she'd turn it over to a church bazaar. Oh, and I got these jeans! Right? Right? And I'm starting a goatee, and I'm thinking of joining a gym, but I don't know whether aerobics or weight training is the quickest route to "buff!" Any thoughts?

Quote from Martin

Daphne: How're you feeling, Mr. Crane?
Martin: I'm fine, I wish you'd quit asking me.
Frasier: Well, it's a reasonable question for a man who just ate a cut of prime rib the size of a hatbox.
Martin: Well, whose fault's that? You're the one who was too embarrassed to walk out with a doggie bag. For what it cost, that meat was coming with me, one way or another.

Quote from Frasier

Vinnie: "Anyway, Doc, I got this thing. It's, uh, got to do with women."
Frasier: Well, I sense you're having trouble finding Miss Right.
Vinnie: "What, are you nuts? I meet Miss Right most every night! Eager young college girls, tough career women hungry for a little R-and-R, if you know what I'm saying."
Frasier: Well, you're leaving precious little room for misinterpretation. But I sense, despite these frequent dalliances, that you're still not truly happy.
Vinnie: "Well, sure I am. It's just that I lost a pinky ring in one of their houses. Star sapphire, beautiful thing. I figured if I went public with it on your show, I had a pretty good chance of getting it back."
Frasier: Well, Vinnie, it's obvious you know nothing about this show, or how to treat women. But even more appalling, you know even less about jewelry! A pinkie no more needs a ring than a neck needs a gold medallion!
Vinnie: "Just shoot me, why don't you?"
Frasier: I'd be delighted.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Oh, Marta, this feels wonderful! You must try it! [Marta picks up an antique and smashes it] I meant at your house.

Quote from Frasier

Roz: I am the joke of the station. When I used to come in in the morning the guard would say, "Morning, Roz." Now it's "All hail, Rozalinda!"
Frasier: Roz, I think you should be flattered. Noel's attempt to immortalize you is-is akin to a love poem written by Robert Browning to his wife.
Roz: Did he ever write a poem where he gave her two extra breasts?
Frasier: Well, I'd have to check my English Lit notes, but I think not, no.

Quote from Niles

Niles: And even if I were angry, what would you have me do?
Frasier: Let it out!
Niles: Well, I am letting it out! I'm getting hives!

Quote from Martin

Daphne: Oh no, wait. That's beautiful. Here, this one's hideous.
Martin: Hey, I gave him that for a wedding present.
