Frasier : Right, you see, this is very good. Roz, you must have something?
Roz : Well, you are a little full of yourself.
Frasier : Great. Okay, pompous.

Martin Crane : Now, you know, Fras', I know you're always looking for an explanation for everything but sometimes there isn't one.
Dr. Frasier Crane : Yeah, I know Dad. It's gonna just drive me crazy. You know, until I know why it ended, I'll just assume it was any number of things about me. My self confidence will be shattered.
Martin Crane : Well, you've got two choices here. You can spend days trying to figure it out until it drives you nuts or you can do the smart thing, make a clean break, never talk to her again, and get on with your life.
Dr. Frasier Crane : [pause] You're right, Dad, that's exactly what I should do. Thank you.
Martin Crane : No problem.
Dr. Frasier Crane : You know, sometimes you're very insightful.
Martin Crane : Well, I've been around the block a few times.
[pause]
Martin Crane : So, when are you going to go talk to her?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Right after my waffles.

Roz Doyle : Wait, you have her access code for her answering machine?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Yes, luckily I set it up with her. I gave her an access code that would be easy to remember - my birthday.
Martin Crane : What's so easy about May 7th?
Dr. Frasier Crane : I wouldn't know, Dad. My birthday's in March!
