Quotes 

• [while zipping up the back of Daphne's dress, Niles gets his tie caught in the zipper; Frasier walks in on them as he has his head bowed behind her] 

  Frasier : Niles, there's something on your tie.

  Daphne : Dr. Crane was helping me with my dress, and now he's caught.

  Frasier : Yes, he is.

• Frasier : Great news, Laura's in town!

  Niles : Who's Laura?

  Frasier : A stranger who called my machine by mistake.

• Frasier : I always loved the name Laura.

  Martin Crane : Hey Frasier, you know, that was gonna be your name if you were a girl.

  Frasier : Really?

  Martin Crane : Yeah, your mother always wanted Priscilla, but I never liked the nickname, Prissy

  Niles : I never much cared for it either

• Frasier : She's called me twice today. That's already the best relationship I've had this year.

• Laura : Molly sent a driver?

  Frasier : No, no, I'm not a driver, I'm a psychiatrist, I'm here to help you.

  Laura : Molly's having me committed?

• Frasier : Can I take your cello?

  Laura : I checked my cello, this is my purse... I think that's funny, why doesn't anybody laugh at that?

• Laura : I was always an odd kid. All my girlfriends had posters of David Cassidy. I had Pablo Casals.

  Frasier : I had Sigmund Freud.

  Laura : But did you kiss him every night before you went to bed?

  Frasier : Well, I was tempted to, but he just would've read too much into it.

• Frasier : I just can't picture Maris in Dad's '82 Impala.

  Niles : Neither could she, at first. I'll never forget the look of wonder on her face at touching vinyl for the first time. She said it made her feel cheap and dirty, and she liked it. I was her first bad boy.

• Martin Crane : How was your dinner?

  Frasier : Not since Quasimodo strolled the streets of medieval Paris have so many people uttered the phrase, "That poor man."

• Martin Crane : I brought you some of Sherry's mock apple pie. It's called "mock" cause they uses crackers instead of apples.

  Frasier : Good, nothing spoils an apple pie like apples.

• Daphne : I met a boy in a cute way once. I was 18 and visiting Stonehenge and a dashing young man came up to me and told me he was an actual descendant of the Druids.

  Frasier : Boy, is that the one place that line would work.

• Laura : [Laura accidentally knocks over a chair with her cello case]  If you ever think back on this, could you just...

  Frasier : I'll just edit that part out.

• Frasier : [after a disastrous evening]  Anyway, after dinner I took a long stroll, and it suddenly struck me: I'm single. I'd gotten accustomed to thinking of myself as recently divorced, but that was five years ago. I'm forty-three, and I'm alone.

• Roz Doyle : I have a date with that waiter we met at lunch yesterday.

  Frasier : You're going out with that guy?

  Roz Doyle : I didn't have enough for a tip.

• Niles : [notices the wine stain on Frasier's tie]  Oh, what happened? No, let me guess... robust color, fruity bouquet, I'd say that's an amusing little merlot.

  Frasier : Cabernet

  Niles : Well, still amusing.

• Frasier : I didn't want you waiting around for someone who wasn't coming.

  Laura : So you came all the way down here? What are you, like the nicest guy in the world?

  Frasier : Yes, yes I am.

• Frasier : Why did you choose the cello?

  Laura : When I was around eleven, my father took me to the symphony, and this sounds a little silly, but when I heard the cello, it sounded sad, like it needed me.

  Frasier : That's not silly. It's lovely.

• Frasier : My coming down here wasn't entirely the act of a Good Samaritan... more like a lonely Samaritan.

• Laura : The anticipation, the excitement, the hope... marriage is the death of all that.

  Frasier : I hope you didn't write your own vows.

• Laura : This is probably a ridiculous thing to say, but if I weren't married...

  Frasier : No, you don't have to finish that. But thank you very much for starting it.
