Quotes 

• 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 : 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.

• Daphne : [Frasier walks in just after Niles zipped his tie into Daphne's dress]  I was just about to step right out of this dress and embarrass poor Dr Crane to death.

  Niles : Well, we all have to die of something.

• Niles : I met someone once flying home from college. I got bumped into first class, found myself sitting there next to a positively ravishing woman. She was a bit older and I was trying desperately to be suave, so when she leaned over and suggested we join the Mile High Club, rather than admit I was unfamiliar with the term, I whispered back, "I really don't travel enough to make that worthwhile." God, that was twenty years ago.

  [starts to chuckle, then] 

  Niles : Nope, still can't laugh about it.

• 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.

• Daphne : I can't imagine a more exciting way to meet. The woman of your dreams steps off a plane, and there you are to rescue her.

  Martin Crane : Oh yeah, you can't beat meeting somebody in a romantic way. That's the way it was between me and your mom.

  Niles : You met Mother over the chalked outline of a murder victim.

  Martin Crane : So? It was romantic to us.
