Quotes 

• Dr. Lilith Sternin-Crane : Frasier, the child will be born when the child is ready to be born.

  Cliff Clavin : Well, enjoy your freedom, Lilith. Cause once you've gone through the unspeakable horror of childbirth and the painful drudgery of parenthood, you'll spend the rest of your life wishing you'd sold the little brat to the gypsies.

  Carla LeBec : How would you know?

  Cliff Clavin : Ah, that's what my Ma tells me.

• Dr. Frasier Crane : [Following the very overdue Lilith out of the pool room]  I'm beginning to wonder if you're fit to carry my seed!

  Dr. Lilith Sternin-Crane : I'm beginning to wish you'd kept it!

• [Frasier and the very overdue Lilith come down from Melville's] 

  Dr. Frasier Crane : [Bending down toward Lilith's abdomen]  BOO!

  Dr. Lilith Sternin-Crane : Frasier, it's not hiccups. You can't scare it out.

  Rebecca Howe : My God, Lilith! You still haven't delivered that child yet?

  Dr. Lilith Sternin-Crane : No, I haven't, Rebecca.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Lilith's logic is that if she can keep clenching long enough, we may bypass the Terrible Twos.

• [Frasier missed his son's birth] 

  Dr. Frasier Crane : [Sits on the hospital bed next to Lilith]  The greatest moment of my life, and I missed it. You must want to kill me.

  Dr. Lilith Sternin-Crane : [Cradling the baby]  Now, Frasier, now is not the time for reproaches. Now is the time to rejoice. The reproaches can come tomorrow and for the next fifty years.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Is it any wonder I love you so?
