[Niles opens a box and pulls shredded paper aside. There is a small ring box which he opens. The only thing inside is a coin. He picks up the card and reads...]
Niles : Roses are red, your heart is fickle. When I'm through with you... all you'll have left is this nickel.
Martin : Oh, no.
Niles : Oh, God... she's going to ruin me.
Dr. Frasier Crane : No, no, Niles, maybe she's bluffing. You know, once she's signed the financial settlement...
Niles : [picking up the paper] She's not bluffing. This IS the financial settlement.

Dr. Frasier Crane : How did things go with Maris?
Niles : I wish I knew. I returned the gifts and told her there was no chance of reconciliation. She didn't get mad. In fact, she was eerily calm. She just stood there with a blank stare on her face, rubbing her ocelot.
Martin : You know, they got a cream for that.

[Niles realizes that the expensive gifts in Frasier's bag are meant for him]
Niles : [excited] You don't suppose it's Daphne?
Martin : [sarcastic] Yeah, she took that second job washing that old Mrs. Lumpkin's hair just so she could give you Cartier. Besides, the note said it's someone you've been with.
Niles : Hmm... there's been so few women since Maris. So few women before Maris. Hence there was Maris.

Dr. Frasier Crane : Niles, please, I have had enough of your finger wagging. I am doing what any red-blooded American man would do. For God's sake, there's nothing wrong with playing the field.
Niles : It looks like you've been eating the field. What did you have for lunch?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Pesto. Oh, my God! I better go freshen up.
-
Niles : Oh, Frasier, why did I go over there? Why didn't I listen to you?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Why didn't I listen to you? If I had I'd be sitting with Nancy right now, sipping wine in front of the fire.
Niles : I'll be stripped clean and devoured like an animal!
Dr. Frasier Crane : And I WON'T be!

Martin : Sounds like it's from someone who dumped you.
Daphne Moon : Well, that's no short list now, is it?
Martin : You know, maybe it's that Sonja woman he was going out with.
Daphne Moon : Wasn't there a sister, too?
Martin : And a niece!
Niles : Oh, yes, he went through that family like a recessive gene.
