Quotes
-
Dr. Niles Crane : You know the saying, Ferguson. "Champagne after sherry makes the tummy grow wary."
Ferguson : You have your brother's wit, sir.
-
Dr. Niles Crane : Frasier, I'm... I'm sorry I ruined your evening.
Dr. Frasier Crane : It's all right, Niles. It's a small price to pay to finally see you and Daphne together.
Dr. Niles Crane : [to Daphne] It's true - we're free!
[Daphne laughs]
Dr. Niles Crane : No more hiding! Where do you want to go? Dinner? Dancing? London? Paris?
Daphne Moon : Why don't we go for a walk?
Dr. Niles Crane : Even better.
[Ferguson appears with their coats]
Ferguson : If you'll allow me.
Dr. Niles Crane : Thank you, Ferguson.
Ferguson : My pleasure, sir.
Daphne Moon : Thank you, Ferguson.
Ferguson : It was my privilege, Miss Moon.
-
Dr. Frasier Crane : All right, Ferguson, we've got some fences to mend with the board. What do we send and to whom do we send it?
Ferguson : Actually, sir, I regret to inform you that I must tender my resignation.
Dr. Frasier Crane : Please, don't be upset that things didn't go so well this evening. I'll make it up to you. Send yourself something.
Ferguson : Thank you, sir, but it's not you. It was your brother and Miss Moon. His willingness to break social rank has inspired me and there's a certain Lady Westerfield whose acquaintance I'd like to renew.
-
Ferguson : Manchester, right?
Daphne Moon : Is it that obvious?
Ferguson : To me it is. My mum's from Manchester. Used to scream her lungs out for United.
Daphne Moon : Is that so? My Uncle Jack once tried to get Bobby Charlton's autograph, until Bobby cracked him over the head with a can of lager. Twelve stitches, and he still has the can!

[Ferguson begins to offer the guests their coats, in order to end the party abruptly after seeing Niles and Mel start arguing]
Ferguson : [handing Diane her wrap] Your wrap, madam, Dr. Crane thanks you for coming...
Dr. Frasier Crane : Ferguson, Ferguson, what in blue blazes are you doing?
Ferguson : Perhaps to spare you some embarrassment, sir, I took the liberty...
Dr. Frasier Crane : Stop! You're taking far too much liberty with the liberty-taking! Please, just see that everyone has some champagne.
Ferguson : [obeying] Sir.
-
Ferguson : Even my father's father was a gentleman's gentleman.
Dr. Frasier Crane : [laughs] Oh, that's a good one, Ferguson.
Ferguson : Thank you sir, it's one of my staples. Will it be breakfast en suite today, sir?
Dr. Frasier Crane : No, I believe I'll join the rest of the household.
Ferguson : Very good, sir.
-
Ferguson : Sir, after such an evening, it's not right for a man to draw his own bath. Sir, if I may take the liberty...
Dr. Frasier Crane : Carry on, Ferguson.
