Here be your place to extol your favourite Frasier quotes. I moved some posts from the Small Talk thread to here so we can go wild with the quotations.

 

Frasier: Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem.

Lillith (in an audible sigh): "My god."

Frasier (taking it the wrong way): "My goddess!"

Frasier just coming back from a trip visiting Frederick and deciding to go to the radio convention.

Frasier: "I've got to go pack."

Niles: "Your bags are already packed."

Frasier: "No, these are my daddy clothes. I need my 'COME to daddy' clothes."

Athena, I love that quote and I wish my brain were still youthful enough that I could memorize it, because it would come in handy in so many situations! The other quote I wish I always had at the ready is the one Niles that says to the pushy woman who butts in front of him, something about living in a "cozy cocoon of narcissism" and not noticing other people.

OK, I had to cheat and look it up...

Niles: I suppose people like you who glide through life wrapped in a cozy little cocoon of narcissism never notice such things.  But you'd do well to learn this lesson, sister! There's still such a thing as good manners in this world. 

…Unfortunately he goes off the rails at that point because she's so beautiful, LOL. Oh Niles.

OMG, I just saw this episode last night.  The delivery makes this whole thing hilarious.  Roz got interested and then when she realized it was a joke, her smile was priceless.

Lilith and Fraser are about to crash a headmaster's Thanksgiving to convince him accept Frederick as a student.

Lilith: "How do I look?  I feel like the color has drained from my cheeks."  in Bebe's great deadpan voice.

Daphne has ditched her wedding to join Niles in the Winnebago:

Niles: "Fasten your seat belt."

Daphne: "Fasten your seat belt, Niles."

It is all in the looks.

Daphne: Flesh is burning dun-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh.

Literally, LOL

 

Watching Three Dates and a Break Up last night:

 

Frasier: Niles, was that Natalie Spencer I just saw you talking with?

Niles: As a matter of fact it was. I've been admiring her all evening, so I steeled myself and asked her if she might be free next week.

Frasier: And?

Niles: Well, her lips said "no", but her eyes said "read my lips".

From the last season episode "Detour" where Frasier and Charlotte ended up having to stay the night at the house of the WEIRDEST people, who had their matriarch in a coffin in the living room whom the husband had an unhealthy and creepy attachment to and they really REALLY didn't want to sleep on the foldout in the same room with a corpse.

Celia Weston's character: "Well, there's momma's bed... But that's in our room."

Two of my favorite episodes are Ham Radio and Mamma Mia. Niles was hilarious in that episode:

 

"Frasier, when it comes to girlfriends, you've certainly struck the MOTHERload."

"Yes, oh dear, it looks like these pants may have to be REPRESSED!"

 

I also loved the episode where Roz has to wear a hideous bridesmaid dress, and gets dumped by her boyfriend. Then Frasier comes over to check on her and she opens the door, wearing said hideous dress, crying, with her makeup running all over the place. That whole scene was hilarious.

 

And I've used a Frasier line over the years, but only rarely because the moment has to be exactly right. In the episode where Eddie is depressed:

 

Martin: Maybe we should take him to see a dog psychiatrist. Is that the answer?
Frasier: Only if the question is, 'What is the most asinine thing we could do?'

NILES: And even worse, after I'd left the car off at the body shop, the rental agency didn't have a single luxury car left. They stuck me with some vehicle I believe they call a "hunchback."
FRASIER: No, I think that would be a hatchback, Niles.
NILES: It's painted panic-button red, and has a large rear window that pops open.
FRASIER: Oh, that would be the hatchback.
NILES: Oh. Well, there's a novel idea. Name the car after its most hideous feature.

Whenever I get to Season 11 on Netflix, I have to admit I let most of the episodes just sort of play in the background ... but there are a few choice quotes from that season:

Frasier: I was having the most distressing dream; I was climbing up a volcano, that was spewing ice instead of lava.

Daphne: An ice volcano. I wonder what that could mean.

Frasier checks his messages

Voice on the answering machine: Hello, it's Lilith.

Frasier, Martin and Daphne: Oh, well.

They're trying to get Daphne back into the US from Canada since she has no green card and should not have left the country.  A border guard is inspecting the RV after Martin told everyone to keep their answers short because guilty people always talk too much...

GUARD: (To Niles) What was the purpose of your visit to Canada, sir?

[long pause]

NILES: (deadly serious tone) Fun

 

(It was all in DHP's timing and delivery)
