Frasier (TV Series)

Dinner Party (1999)

John Mahoney: Martin Crane

Quotes 

• Niles : Allison Walburt can say what she wants. Why should we care a whit about what anybody else thinks. Am I right?

  Frasier : Absolutely! Dad, do you think we're odd?

  Martin Crane : No, you're not odd. You're just, special. Your mother told me that when you were kids and I still believe it.

• Frasier : Dad, do you think we're odd?

  Martin Crane : No, you're not odd. You're just special. Your mother told me that when you were kids, and I still believe it.

  Frasier : Yes, but... do you think we spend too much time together?

  Martin Crane : What kind of questions are these? You're close. Lots of brothers are close.

  Frasier : Yes, I supposed you're right about that. Yes, I mean, the Gershwins, the Wright Brothers...

  Niles : Told you. We're getting upset over nothing.

  Martin Crane : Of course, then there were the Collyer Brothers.

  Niles : The Collyer Brothers?

  Martin Crane : Oh, yeah - a couple of nutsos. Shared an apartment in New York their whole lives. They even built a maze out of newspapers in that only they knew how to get through. Then it collapsed on one of them, and the other one just sat there with the dead body until the neighbors complained about the smell. Pretty crazy story, huh? You recycle right, Niles?
