Kelsey Grammer credited as playing...
Dr. Frasier Crane
- Frasier: "It may be that the gulfs will wash us down, It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are."
- [dissolve to Frasier's final broadcast]
- Frasier: Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will, To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." I've been thinking about that poem a lot lately. And I think what it says is that, while it's tempting to play it safe, the more we're willing to risk, the more alive we are. In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took. And I hope that explains a little this journey on which I'm about to embark. I have loved every minute with my KACL family and all of you. For eleven years you have heard me say, "I'm listening." Well, you were listening too. And for that I am eternally grateful. Goodnight, Seattle.
- Frasier: Roz, are you alright?
- Gil Chesterton: Of course not. She's ashen with terror. Spit it out Roz, who's the jack-booted tyrant whose fanny I'll be kissing till God knows when?
- Roz Doyle: Me.
- Gil Chesterton: Joyful news, your majesty.
- [kneels]
- Frasier: You all know how I feel about you, and the only reason I'm leaving is because I want what all of you have now: a new chapter. Who knows if it'll even work out?
- [looking to Martin]
- Frasier: But it's like that Tennyson poem Mom had us recite for you when we were kids. Do you remember?
- Martin Crane: [Smiling] I think we're about to.
- Ronee Lawrence: Hey, wait a minute! Why don't we just get married here? I mean, we've got the rings, and-and the preacher...
- Martin Crane: Well, what about all the guests?
- Ronee Lawrence: Well, we can do it again for them later. And at least this place only smells like a monkey.
- Martin Crane: Well, I'm game. Get cracking, Fras!
- Frasier: [Frasier takes some speech cards from his pocket] You know, I'd better, uh, condense this just a bit...
- [reading the cards]
- Frasier: No, I don't need that... and I don't need that. All right... ah. "It was the great thinker Horace Walpole..."
- Martin Crane: Don't need that.
- Daphne Moon: Do you know how many operas I'm gonna get dragged to now that you're not around?
- Frasier: Well, I promise I'll fly up for all the German ones!
- Frasier: I'll just cut to the chase here. Uh, do you, Martin Crane take Ronee Lawrence to be your lawfully wedded wife, forsaking all others, until death do you part?
- Martin Crane: I do.
- Frasier: Do you, Ronee Lawrence, take Martin Crane...?
- Ronee Lawrence: I do!
- [Martin places the ring on Ronee's finger]
- Daphne Moon: Oh, I'm tearing up.
- Frasier: You know, if they'd let me say what I planned to, you'd be bawling your eyes out right now.
- [Martin puts his ring on and holds Ronee's hand]
- Frasier: By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife.
- [Martin and Ronee kiss]
- Martin Crane: Yeah, and he'll be here for Christmas... and Thanksgiving... and birthdays... and...
- [convincing himself]
- Martin Crane: We'll be sick of this guy!
- Frasier: Yeah, Dad's right. I mean, once I'm gone there'll be no getting rid of me.
