Quotes 

• Niles : Daphne? I want to apologize for the other night. I was rude, and disrespectful, and I'm sorry I hurt you.

  Daphne : Apology accepted. Oh, come here.

  [they hug] 

  Niles : Thank you.

  Daphne : You know, I was just about to make myself some dinner. Would you like to join me?

  Niles : I would love that.

  [Daphne heads for the kitchen] 

  Niles : Actually, wait, Daphne? I'm going to pass on dinner.

  Daphne : Oh, it's no trouble.

  Niles : Oh, I know that, it's just that... I don't really care for your cooking.

  Daphne : [dumbfounded]  What?

  [Frasier and Martin come in from the bedrooms] 

  Niles : Well, you're not the best cook in the world. In fact, you're not very good at cooking. At all. Bad, BAD cook!

  Martin Crane : [to Frasier, whispering]  What the hell is he doing?

  Dr. Frasier Crane : [intentionally interrupting]  Uh... Well, we're off.

  [Frasier and Martin head to the door with their coats] 

  Martin Crane : [to Niles]  God bless you, son!

  [Frasier and Martin head out. Before Frasier closes the door, Niles gives him a thumbs up] 

  Niles : [to Daphne]  You okay?

  Daphne : How could I be after that horrible thing you just said to me?

  Niles : Oh, I'm sorry, darling. I just want to show you I see you the way you really are.

  Daphne : And who I am is a bad cook, is that what you're saying?

  Niles : No, that's not fair. I, I thought this was what you wanted.

  Daphne : Well it still hurts. I have feelings, you know. I thought you loved my cooking. Well, you certainly could have handled this better.

• Dr. Frasier Crane : Dad, uh, what do you say we head out to dinner over at the steak house?

  Martin Crane : The steak house! Really?

  Dr. Frasier Crane : What the Hell. The blood's just been flying through my arteries lately.
