Most of these quotes don't appear on the season section under their appropriate episode - just here! Martin: For God's sake, Frasier, you're forty-one years old - it's time you learned something. The system ain't perfect - sometimes the bad guy wins. And all those things you thought would be around to help you, the courts and the police department - well, sometimes, they're just not there when you need them, so you can let it eat a hole in your stomach or you can just file it away under the heading "Sometimes life sucks." Niles: Those were awful, those family driving vacations. Dad insisting on covering as many miles as possible in a day; the two of us, tiny hostages in the back seat, clutching our car sickness bags, straining to see something out of the window as the landscape whizzed by. I was 13 before I realized cows aren't blurry. Niles: Good golly, I'm inspired. I'm going to put on a baseball cap. Frasier: Niles... I've just had an epiphany. Niles: I was practicing my Tai Chi this morning, and I accidentally kicked him into the reflecting pool. That's when I brought him inside and left him by the hearth to dry. Niles, smoking a cigar and playing the piano: This is really what men do, isn't it, Dad? Frasier: You know the expression "Living well is the best revenge"? Niles: That hooligan is pelting me with peanuts! And look at that tray, he's come prepared! Niles: I just got in the car and started driving. Niles: Nineteen floors down to my car! Garage door's electric! Can't open! Twenty floors back up! Lost count! Bad lady upstairs! Big dog! Need place to die! Frasier: It's over! Sing, fat lady, sing! Niles: And I stormed out and slammed the door! Of course, it was that fourteenth century Bavarian cathedral door, so I had to get two of the servants to help me, but what it lacked in spontanaity it made up for in resonance. Niles reads from his journal: "Awake five am. Blissful confusion. Something's happened, but what? 5:01. Ah yes. An overwhelming sense of emptiness and despair. 5:07" - it's hard to read. Oh right - Wept uncontrollably. 6:18. All cried out, hungry now, ate entire box of Frosted Flakes, they're grrrr-eat!" So don't you tell me I'm not in touch with my emotions! Waitress: There's a man over there who says he's waiting for you. Niles, on dancing: This is boring, yet difficult. Frasier: I'm looking for "How Green was My Valley." Frasier: Excuse me, is there another copy? Frasier: It's just, the whole thing just catapults me back to high school - you only know me as an adult, but back then I was a rather unathletic bookish sort. (Daphne makes Martin read from her book, and he becomes very uncomfortable with what he's reading.) Niles: At the Shangri-La, the highlight of my day is getting out of bed, so I can slam it back into the wall!
