Quotes 

• Clive : Daphne, I noticed in the phone book, your surname still is Moon.

  Niles : That must be an old book. Now she hyphenates. It's Moon-Crane.

  Martin : I remember the first time I ever drove a moon crane. I nearly rolled it into the Sea of Tranquility.

• [Martin needs a ride to his army reunion] 

  Martin : Come on, they're great guys. Stinky, Wolfman, Boom-Boom, Jim. Of course his name's not really Jim, we just call him that because he likes to drink Jim Beam. Just like we call Hank "Bud," because he drinks Budweiser. Come on, you'd love these guys!

  Niles : We're sherry drinkers, Dad. Think about it!

• Daphne : I didn't mean to put you in an awkward position.

  Niles : When it comes to you, no position is too awkward.

• Martin : What the hell is going on here?

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Clive is Daphne's old boyfriend. She's trying to let him down easily by pretending to be married to Niles.

  Niles : This is *my* place. Frasier's staying here temporarily because he's separated from Maris.

  Martin : [to Frasier]  You couldn't stand her either, huh?

• Clive : There comes a time in a man's life when he's gotta look a woman straight in the eye and say...

  Niles : Cheese nips?

• Daphne : [referring to Clive]  Oh, we were mad for each other. He was very sweet and had the most gorgeous eyes you ever saw.

  Niles : But...

  Daphne : Oh yes, that, too.

• Daphne Moon : Well, isn't this ironic! All these years I've nagged him to make something of himself. And now look at him, a captain of industry, and still as handsome as ever.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Yes, well, send in the clowns!

  [Roz and Frasier enter from the balcony] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Don't bother, they're here.
