Quotes 

• [Repeated line] 

  Frasier : Are you forgetting that just this afternoon I was punched in the face by a man now dead?

• [Maris has been arrested for murder] 

  Frasier : Well, you've got to admit, Niles, it doesn't look very good.

  Niles : I can't believe she could have planned this. You do learn something about a woman when you've slept in a room next to hers for fifteen years.

• Niles : Well, what did we talk about? Uh, we discussed the upcoming women's arts festival and their tableau vivant. They're going to be re-enacting Schmitt's painting of "The Martyrdom of St. Ursula by Atila the Hun." Naturally, Maris will pose as the Hun.

  Frasier : Ah.

  Niles : A tad Germanic for my taste, but nonetheless I told her I'd help out by lending her my antique crossbow to help complete the tragic scene on the Rhine. Of course, talk of the Rhine inevitably led to that wonderful anecdote about the Nazarene painters of Biddlesbock Palace...

  Frasier : [joins Niles in loud guffaws]  Those beer-loving rascals! Tell it, Niles!

• Frasier : Wow, Roz, that was persuasive.

  Roz : Yeah, well, there's nothing worse than waking up naked with a bunch of cops standing around. I've been there...

• Daphne : Thanks for what you said about me, though I haven't been completely wonderful.

  Niles : No. You've been irritable and you made me sleep on the couch.

  Frasier : That's the stuff, Niles. Doesn't it feel good to get it off your chest.

  Niles : Oh stuff it, Mr. Malaprop. Family spokesman? The Manson family should have a spokesman like you.
