Quotes35

  • Candi: What's your name?
  • Frasier: Oh, uh... Dr. Frasier Crane.
  • Candi: I'm Candi.
  • Frasier: Ah, yes, so I see from your necklace. Candi with an "I".
  • Candi: Well, I used to spell it with a "Y" but nobody ever took me seriously, so then I switched it to an "I". You know, like Gandhi.
  • Frasier: Yes, yes. I understand that's why he did it.
  • Frasier: You see, Sam, there's documented evidence that all human animals have an erotic, hair-trigger response to at least one of the five sensory stimuli. Could be anything, really. Oh, let's see: sound of surf pounding against the shore, smell of honeysuckle on a warm summer's night, taste of a vintage Chateaux-neuf-du-Pape.
  • [getting turned on]
  • Frasier: Fire-red fingernails... dancing through your chest hair.
  • [breathing heavily]
  • Frasier: Black lace teddy, straining against its fleshy cargo.
  • Sam: Whoah, whoah, Frasier. Snap out of it.
  • Frasier: In a minute, Sam.
  • Frasier: So, um... how do you like Cheers?
  • Lilith: Well. It seems adequate for its purpose, but I have a feeling that you only brought me to this place to surround yourself with people you know and I don't.
  • Frasier: Well, yes. But what's more, I thought that we might have a drink or two, thereby lowering our inhibitions a bit and enabling us to go back to your place and have a physical encounter of some sort.
  • Lilith: Well, we won't.
  • Frasier: I appreciate your candor.
  • Lilith: No, you don't.
  • Frasier: You're right. I feel like striking you.
  • [the gang is discussing Cliff's 'girlfriend"]
  • Lilith: Who is this Maggie?
  • Frasier: Just a woman with whom Cliff had a romantic relationship.
  • Lilith: Frasier, if you don't want to tell me just say so.
  • Frasier Crane: Hello in there, Cliff. Tell me, what color is the sky in your world?
  • [Frasier is looking into Lilith's purse]
  • Frasier: Oh, dear God.
  • Sam: What? What is it?
  • Frasier: Lilith is carrying a dead rat in her purse. Why would she be carrying a dead rat in her purse?
  • Carla: Just a wild guess: a snack?
  • Norm: [Frasier and Lilith are having an argument in Sam's office] Sammy, don't you think you should check on them? They've been in there for over an hour.
  • Sam: Yeah, I guess so.
  • [knocks on the door]
  • Sam: Frasier, you guys all right?
  • Frasier: [opening the door] A few more minutes, Sam. It's almost my turn to talk.
  • Lilith: Now while I'm away, I need you to water the plants, pay the paperboy, and take the garbage out on Tuesday nights. I've written it all down for you.
  • Frasier: Lilith, you don't hafta treat me like a child.
  • Lilith: Of course not, Frasier. Oh, please remember: don't open the door to strangers.
  • Frasier: Lilith.
  • Lilith: Well, Frasier, there is a precedent set. We lost our stereo that day.
  • Frasier: Well, he looked friendly and he needed to use the phone.
  • Lilith: It was three o'clock in the morning, darling.
  • Frasier: People have flats at three in the morning.
  • Lilith: He was wearing a ski mask.
  • Frasier: Oh, joy, Christmas Eve. By this time tomorrow, millions of Americans, knee-deep in tinsel and wrapping paper will utter those heartfelt words, 'Is this all I got?'
  • Woody: Boy, Dr. Sternin-Crane having an affair with another guy. This reminds me of a terrible scandal we had back in Hanover, rocked the whole town to its core. Mayor's wife ran off with old Mr. Smithers.
  • Frasier: Well, that's not so scandalous, Woody.
  • Woody: Well, Mr. Smithers was a goat.
  • Frasier: Sam, I had the most incredible evening. Last night, I dreamed about something - not Diane. Well, she was in the background chattering on about something, naked, but the important thing is, I was a therapist again.
  • Frasier: Boy, I never felt so low in my life.
  • Cliff: Well, Doc, if it means anything to you, I'm here for you.
  • Frasier: It doesn't, Cliff, but thanks.
  • Norm: What's This Old House?
  • Frasier: It's a show on PBS.
  • Norm: What's PBS?
  • Lilith: Tell me you didn't see that coming a mile away.
  • Lilith: Good afternoon, Dr. Crane.
  • Frasier: Dr. Sternin. What a lovely surprise.
  • Lilith: I hope I can regard that as civility in light of today's situation rather than sarcasm at my expense.
  • Frasier: No, that was completely at your expense.
  • Sam: Are you crazy? Did I hear you just turn down a date with that girl? C'mon, man, reel her in.
  • Frasier: Oh, Sam, you don't seem to understand. Look, I just came off a seven year marriage. It's hard to think of replacing Lilith.
  • Carla: Just go to the morgue and open any drawer.
  • Cliff: Uh oh, looks like Woody's babes are comin' to blows.
  • Sam, Frasier, Cliff, Norm: CAT FIGHT. CAT FIGHT.
  • Kelly Gaines: You get outta my way right now or, so help me God, I'll... I'll hurt your feelings.
  • Emily: You do that and I'll hurt yours right back.
  • Frasier: KITTEN fight.
  • Sam, Norm, Cliff: KITTEN fight.
  • Frasier: I've been taking stock of myself.
  • Carla: Not exactly AT&T, is it?
  • Frasier: I can't believe that you're willing to destroy our marriage all because of your childish refusal to accept the death of an animal.
  • Lilith: The very fact that you think of Whitey as "an animal" proves that we are completely incompatible.
  • Frasier: But he WAS an ANIMAL. Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What was he, a vegetable, a mineral? Oh, I know. He was the CEO of General Motors.
  • Frasier: Sam and Diane - you are now and have always been hopelessly in I guess the word for it is "love", and unfortunately for you, like it or not, you always will be.
  • [amidst their protests]
  • Frasier: I know, I know. Now you're going to deny it. Even though it's ludicrously obvious to everyone around you, you two will go on pretending it's not true because you're EMOTIONAL INFANTS. You're in a living HELL. You love each other, and you hate each other, and you hate yourselves for loving each other. Well, my dear friends, I want no part of it. It's time I just picked up where I left off. It's time to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. So I'll get out of here so you can just get on with your denial fest.
  • Frasier: Afternoon, all.
  • Woody: Hey, how's it going, Dr. Crane?
  • Frasier: Oh, the usual. The crying, the tantrums, the bed-wetting.
  • Woody: Yeah, that's fatherhood.
  • Frasier: No, that's my therapy group. What a buncha losers.
