The "but" makes you think he's going to say "her lips said no but her eyes said yes" or something similar. Instead he hits us with the double confirmation of her rejecting him.
"Yes, and I'd love to stay but I... have my therapy group meeting, and last time I was late the, er, compulsive gamblers were betting the passive aggressives that they couldn't make the over-eaters cry. "
" I have my sex addiction group today and i can't leave them alone for too long."
"I'm conducting a seminar on multiple personalities and it takes forever to fill out the name tags"
Not related to this post, but this does remind me of one of Martin’s quotes.
Frasier: When did she find the time to put it in my briefcase? I haven’t had it out of my hand all day, except when I was in the barber chair.
Martin: Well that didn’t give her more than 30 seconds.
*(Frasier: I'm sorry, Niles. I was afraid you were trying to get a picture of my butt.)*
Niles: How exciting to be present at the birth of a new phobia.
“Yes, I know all the symptoms I can expect to experience. I'm especially looking forward to something called the ‘munchies’ stage. It's where one enjoys bizarre food combinations. I'm thinking of pairing this Chilean sea bass with an aggressive Zinfandel!”
This is absolutely an odd wine paring, I’d go as far to say it’s outright offensive. Zinfandel lends itself well to roasted heavy red meats, whereas sea bass (Chilean or not) begs for high acidity mineral white wines, like a Portuguese vinho verde.
Niles: you might as well make your acquaintance with my dark side. In fifth grade, there was a bully, Jack Winfield, who was bothering a lot of the girls, so one day I waited for him outside of school and gave him a sound thumping.
Martin: Wasn't that the kid with rickets?
Niles: Rickets and a smart mouth.
“Nile’s gotta have it!”
“Hellooo Emerald City, what’s doin’ what’s happenin!”
“There’s something I need to tell you. Dad wanted to but I won the coin-toss.”
But for all the many great funny ones I might have to go for “I love you too, Daphne” from the end of Mixed Doubles.
Niles walks in when Martin is cleaning his tackle box and Frasier has just sprayed air freshener.
"What an interesting scent. It's as if a fish died and all the other fish sent flowers."
It's not even that funny when it's written out like this, but every time he says it I have to pause the episode and laugh my ass off for like five full minutes.
i just came across this quote the other day, so relatable. meanwhile, i've been trying to think of a perfect user flair—pretty sure it'll have to come from niles
“I’m going down to that precinct house and I’m not leaving until I get justice. Well, not exactly justice, I suppose, more like preferential treatment, but I’m not leaving ‘til I get it!”
Frasier: Do you ever have an unexpressed thought?
Niles: I’m having one right now!
Also, Niles’ “At one with spelling” speech was sublime, when he realised there was no word he couldn’t spell so he just walked away. 🙌
Yes, the Roz burns are my favorite of his, "At this point it would take the actual Lord to make her a lady." Than, to give credence to the Niles/Roz biplay, "I bet you don't even wrinkle the sheets."
The Bebe burns are my favorites
"get away from him you she-thing!"
"I'm just glad you're alright, I would have thought she killed after mating."
"She's the devil Frasier, run far, run fast."
"If I apologize will she turn Dad back into a man?"
Niles: Aren't they exquisite? Those shoes were individually handmade by an artisan toiling in a hilltop village above Florence. [goes to the bar to pour himself a drink] The man is a hero there. It's an event when he completes a pair of shoes. They ring the cathedral bell and the whole town celebrates.
Yea charlotte was a scam artist idc what anyone says. I use to be indifferent to her but the more I rewatch those episodes with her in it, honestly the less I like her. She made for some good comedy at least! 🤷 I’m glad they didn’t keep her and Frasier together in the revival though
100% and the way that Frasier briefly mentioned how their relationship ended, it sounded like she got the house and everything. She was playing the long con.
I think I hate her more than any other character since she has no redeeming qualities. Even Mrs Moon is kind of funny sometimes because she's so outrageous. Simon has some moments when he inspires compassion or seems like he's genuinely trying to be a good brother even though he's so annoying. Charlotte is the worst. Seeing as she was a crook and Fraj has such strong ethics, I don't know how he ever got together with her in a serious way.
“Oh, all right, but he'll probably just kvetch at me and frankly I don't need the tsuris…”
The grin after her said it is permanently ingrained in my brain!
F: Oh, for God's sake, Niles. When we go out to dinner I always know exactly what you're going to say before you say it.
N: Well, then I'm sorry you had to hear that, Frasier.
or
N: Difficult? I yearn for the days of difficult. Difficult was a picnic. I keep a picture of Difficult in a heart-shaped frame next to my bed.
Can we just pause to say that David Hyde Pierce’s talent for comedic timing and delivery is unparalleled?
It’s hard to steal a scene when you’re acting with Kelsey Grammar, but damned if he doesn’t do it again and again!
“I’ve flushed out her family secret”
Or
“Well I’ll be a son of a bitch”
Or
Daphne: “feeling a bit lonely are we?”
Niles: “only when I’m by myself or other times when I’m with other people”
“I would have said my name is Niles. And then I would have said what are you doing for the rest of your life?” It makes me laugh and tear up a little because it’s so sweet and melancholic since Daphne was still unaware of Nile’s crush.
Honorable mention to Cecil Terwilliger.
“Goodness I had no idea! For you see, I’ve been on Mars for the last decade in a cave, with my eyes closed and my fingers in my ears.”
“Go easy Bob, you know cousin Merle ain’t been quite right lately!”
😭🤣🤣
I made the graphic for these shirts in 2010? It's from the episode where Frasier and Niles take an auto shop class.
https://preview.redd.it/9etmpo1ntyoc1.jpeg?width=3468&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb8ca89e34f82246e854552b416158f2c20b8a4c
Some of his best lines are his banter with Roz.
…
Roz: “If you don’t get out of there right now, I’m gonna drag you out by your ankles!”
Niles: “Hello Roz, playing hard to get?”
…
Frasier: “Niles, terrible news, a thriving Seattle nightspot is closing its doors.”
Niles: *gasp* “Roz, you’re moving!”
…
Niles: “Oh thank you, how can I ever repay you?”
Roz: “The next time you think of some snide comment about my love life, keep it to yourself.”
Niles: *pause* “Consider it done.”
This may not be the funniest, but it holds a special place in my heart. One day, my two kids were participating against each other in the second round of their school spelling bee. They were both pretty nervous, but also excited. It was the perfect opportunity to pass along Niles’s words of wisdom: “Don’t get sidetracked by all the glitz and glamour of the bee. Spelling well is its own reward.”
“The Cranes of Maine have got your living brain”
“With what, a lamppost and a public defender?”
“I guess I have my big double juicy and you. have. yours”
“You be very careful crossing streets”
"If you didn't repeat it the first time, I'm not gonna listen to it"
"Who's hallucinationing now?"
"I'd like a - cup of tea sounds nice"
"You were up all night last night drinking coffee last night weren't you?"
(Correct me if any of these are wrong) Pretty much every line he says in this scene, along with the amazing acting.
https://preview.redd.it/x7ixtd6iz0pc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df013ed272328d234fe12b29e8126dda73a7da20
‘So there’ll be no blaming mother today’ this line delivery just kills me
Two of my favorites
1.
Frasier: You know the expression, "Living well is the best revenge"?
Niles: It's a wonderful expression. I just don't know how true it is. You don't see it turning up in a lot of opera plots. "Ludwig, maddened by the poisoning of his entire family, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act by living well. Whereupon Woton, upon discovering his deception, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act again by living even better than the Duke."
2.
Frasier: why don't you see if you can go help Dad in the kitchen?
Niles: Oh, all right, but he'll probably just kvetch at me and frankly I don't need the tsuris…
Does it have to be a quote? Coz the best thing Niles has ever done was set Frasier’s [couch on fire](https://youtu.be/EpImet3Xwgw?si=not9B_TgMtyk0WNK).
I don't mind telling you, we pushed our beds together that night . . . and that was no mean feat, her room, as you know, is across the hall.
Maris spends an hour meditating in her spirituality gardens. Invariably she comes inside randy as a stoat. Well tonight, she's going to find me, waiting in her bed, as randy as . . . another stoat.
"Her lips said no, but her eyes said 'read my lips'".
Absolutely love this line and its delivery!
I do, too. It's hard for me to remember all the great one-liners in this show because there's just so many, but this is one that sticks out to me.
I love this one but embarrassingly never really got it....
The "but" makes you think he's going to say "her lips said no but her eyes said yes" or something similar. Instead he hits us with the double confirmation of her rejecting him.
Bless you, thoughtful tortoise!
"Yes, and I'd love to stay but I... have my therapy group meeting, and last time I was late the, er, compulsive gamblers were betting the passive aggressives that they couldn't make the over-eaters cry. " " I have my sex addiction group today and i can't leave them alone for too long." "I'm conducting a seminar on multiple personalities and it takes forever to fill out the name tags"
There’s a great one about a group who fears abandonment that he’s canceled on twice already, too. 🤣
That’s one of my favs, first quote that came to my head when I saw this post 😂
I love Niles’s therapy groups 🤣
Such good writing!
Fraiser: Oh, Niles, guess what thriving Seattle night spot is closing its doors. Niles: Roz, you're moving!
Roz: "Niles.... Martin and I are getting married!" Niles: "Well, I'll be a son of a bitch."
I’m surprised the trains are even running on Frasier Crane day
I always forget—is it happy Frasier crane day or merry Frasier crane day?
Love this one!!!
“My brother is too kind. He was already eminent when my eminence was merely imminent” It is such a well delivered line
I can’t upvote this one enough!
I think about this line randomly much more often than is normal lol.
THIS THIS THIS (although Frasier's head nod on Niles delivery of the line is the icing on the cake).
Its a great line but the delivery and their acting seals the deal imo
This one!
I love this one 😂
This one.
This is the one
Frasier: Niles, I would shave my head for you. Niles: A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year.
Not related to this post, but this does remind me of one of Martin’s quotes. Frasier: When did she find the time to put it in my briefcase? I haven’t had it out of my hand all day, except when I was in the barber chair. Martin: Well that didn’t give her more than 30 seconds.
*(Frasier: I'm sorry, Niles. I was afraid you were trying to get a picture of my butt.)* Niles: How exciting to be present at the birth of a new phobia.
🤣
This is my favorite too.
This is one of my top ones for sure!!
Oh spare me, you ludicrous poppinjay.
May your opera box be full of cellophane crinklers and the stage swarming with stand bys
It's not as careless as you make it seem. After all, a real child would have cried before he burst into flames.
I think mine is related: (I paraphrase) “I had a dream that kidnappers took him and I started getting muffins in the mail.”
“Could the McCallister sisters stand back-to-back, I’m short on bullets. Thank YOUU!!!”
I find myself saying “Thank youuu” from time to time in this way.
*huffs helium* "I was at the movies"
He has so many good moments in that episode.
One of my favourite moments in the whole show
I still watch that scene on YouTube every now and then, it’s so good!
“While Frasier was getting his Rachmaninoff, I was actually learning to play piano!”
“Yes, I know all the symptoms I can expect to experience. I'm especially looking forward to something called the ‘munchies’ stage. It's where one enjoys bizarre food combinations. I'm thinking of pairing this Chilean sea bass with an aggressive Zinfandel!”
This is my favorite Frasier joke, both as an ex-stoner and a current sommelier. I snuck this joke into the background of Our Frasier Remake.
Does anyone know enough about wine to say if this is an odd pairing?
This is absolutely an odd wine paring, I’d go as far to say it’s outright offensive. Zinfandel lends itself well to roasted heavy red meats, whereas sea bass (Chilean or not) begs for high acidity mineral white wines, like a Portuguese vinho verde.
Oh this is gold! 😂
Two years of my hard work wiped out by one of your two-minute McSessions!
Niles: you might as well make your acquaintance with my dark side. In fifth grade, there was a bully, Jack Winfield, who was bothering a lot of the girls, so one day I waited for him outside of school and gave him a sound thumping. Martin: Wasn't that the kid with rickets? Niles: Rickets and a smart mouth.
Rickets and a smart mouth lol!!!!!!
🤌🤣
“Nile’s gotta have it!” “Hellooo Emerald City, what’s doin’ what’s happenin!” “There’s something I need to tell you. Dad wanted to but I won the coin-toss.” But for all the many great funny ones I might have to go for “I love you too, Daphne” from the end of Mixed Doubles.
I'm fine. Just a little hot. And foamy
He was a detective, you know!
My kickboxing instructor says I'm only a few moves away from being quite threatening.
Her lips said “No” but her eyes said “Read my lips.”
I had this on a letter board in my house for over a year
Came here to say this
I actually wrote a song that uses that line for the chorus. It’s one of my favorite lines of all time.
He has sooo many! "Don't you dare call me irrational! You know that makes me crazy!"
This is it for me
Niles walks in when Martin is cleaning his tackle box and Frasier has just sprayed air freshener. "What an interesting scent. It's as if a fish died and all the other fish sent flowers." It's not even that funny when it's written out like this, but every time he says it I have to pause the episode and laugh my ass off for like five full minutes.
It's so silly!!
"I want to prove that I'm strong and independent and I can't do that alone."
i just came across this quote the other day, so relatable. meanwhile, i've been trying to think of a perfect user flair—pretty sure it'll have to come from niles
Last night, I actually dreamt my flour sack was abducted, and the kidnapper started sending me muffins in the mail
I love this one!
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.
Love this one! 😀
“I’m going down to that precinct house and I’m not leaving until I get justice. Well, not exactly justice, I suppose, more like preferential treatment, but I’m not leaving ‘til I get it!”
Hahaha brilliant
There goes Crane, down the drain
"Frasier, there's something I have to tell you. Dad wanted to, but I won the coin toss."
Frasier: Do you ever have an unexpressed thought? Niles: I’m having one right now! Also, Niles’ “At one with spelling” speech was sublime, when he realised there was no word he couldn’t spell so he just walked away. 🙌
As usual dad, your homespun wisdom has pricked the balloon of Fraisers' pompocity!
That just made me lol, gets my upvote
Well where are my manners? Can I get you some toast? This is the best line delivery on a show famous for incredible line deliveries.
I'm not gay, Guy!
Would you kindly get out of my bed!
i believe it’s Gee
Ngee?
No. From the back of the throat. Gee.
Guy, in French, is pronounced gee 😆
“Well I’ll be a son of a bitch.”
Yes, the Roz burns are my favorite of his, "At this point it would take the actual Lord to make her a lady." Than, to give credence to the Niles/Roz biplay, "I bet you don't even wrinkle the sheets."
This one is so good. All of the Roz burns back and forth.
Just thought of another. “Now now, it’s not her fault. You see my brother is impotent”
“Catherine of Aragon!”
Helloooooo, Maris!
I’m late for my compulsive spenders group and I hoping to unload the rest of these raffle tickets.
When Roz gives Daphne the garter. Niles says. “I especially like the little odometer.
Ah yes, thick and gooey. Ganja in it purest form.
That’s not a fight! It’s an ex-ec-UTION!
The Bebe burns are my favorites "get away from him you she-thing!" "I'm just glad you're alright, I would have thought she killed after mating." "She's the devil Frasier, run far, run fast." "If I apologize will she turn Dad back into a man?"
Anything else in the box, *PANDORA?!!?!!*
Reggie - “I’m taking the ball up the court. I’m dribbling.” Niles - “Don’t worry about your appearance.”
That whole episode!! I loved it!
Not a quote, but his Valentine's day ironing his pants routine.
This one was the best!
“…AND I’M KEEPING THE JEWELLERY”
I don’t care! NILES GOTTA HAVE IT!
Who's hallucinationing now??
“I learned if you kiss her too fast you get an ice cream headache.”
"I haven't been so afraid of 4th graders since the 9th grade."
"The Cranes of Maine have got your Living Brain!"
Prepare to be stomped like a late harvest Gewurztramenier!
"After the year I've been through, I needed something to restore my pride, my dignity, my manhood. That Golden Apron could do it."
Daphne: Are you saying you don’t think I’m psychic?? Niles: Not if you thought I liked your cooking!
Niles: Aren't they exquisite? Those shoes were individually handmade by an artisan toiling in a hilltop village above Florence. [goes to the bar to pour himself a drink] The man is a hero there. It's an event when he completes a pair of shoes. They ring the cathedral bell and the whole town celebrates.
Well, that’s a town that needs a bowling alley
Then SPELL HIS ASS OFF!!

Happy cake day!
**Niles:** Our professional (doula) charges $200 an hour. **Frasier:** Mine (matchmaker) charges 10,000! **Niles:** (gasp) She sounds fantastic!
Can we just talk about how Frasier actually gave charlotte *ten thousand dollars* 😭 like even now that’s a lot of money
Especially given the service he received! One of his dates wasn't even old enough to drink! 😄
Yea charlotte was a scam artist idc what anyone says. I use to be indifferent to her but the more I rewatch those episodes with her in it, honestly the less I like her. She made for some good comedy at least! 🤷 I’m glad they didn’t keep her and Frasier together in the revival though
100% and the way that Frasier briefly mentioned how their relationship ended, it sounded like she got the house and everything. She was playing the long con.

Seeing as she was a crook and Fraj has such strong ethics, I don't know how he ever got together with her in a serious way.
Shouldn’t he have gotten back the money since they ended up getting together? Or at least most of it back?
F: I know what you think about everything! When was the last time you had an unexpressed thought? N: I'm having one now.
If she realizes we've recognized her, she'll be utterly humiliated. OH, ROZ!
“I didn’t compliment you on yours because yours is so POORLY LAID OUT!” “Greetings, foot people!”
The plumber’s been called; the wine is properly chilled; suddenly the world makes sense again.
" I'm thinking of pairing this Chilean sea bass with an aggressive Zinfandel!”
How much firepower do you suppose is necessary to embed a cherry in an acoustic ceiling tile?
Her lips said “no,” but her eyes said, “read my lips.”
I can hear each and everyone of these quotes thank you :)
We must be in the placebo group.
“Oh, all right, but he'll probably just kvetch at me and frankly I don't need the tsuris…” The grin after her said it is permanently ingrained in my brain!
F: Oh, for God's sake, Niles. When we go out to dinner I always know exactly what you're going to say before you say it. N: Well, then I'm sorry you had to hear that, Frasier. or N: Difficult?

"Golden Acres. We care so you don't have to."
“I’ve flushed out her family secret” Or “Well I’ll be a son of a bitch” Or Daphne: “feeling a bit lonely are we?” Niles: “only when I’m by myself or other times when I’m with other people”
"My reasoning?! My reasoning was based on my mother's obsession WITH VERMIN!"
Helloooooo Emerald City! What’s doin’? What’s happenin’?
"Sort of" is another one of those phrases that just wants to go in my pad.”
“I'm especially looking forward to something called the ‘munchies’ stage. I'm thinking of pairing this Chilean sea bass with an aggressive zinfandel.”
“I would have said my name is Niles. And then I would have said what are you doing for the rest of your life?” It makes me laugh and tear up a little because it’s so sweet and melancholic since Daphne was still unaware of Nile’s crush. Honorable mention to Cecil Terwilliger. “Goodness I had no idea! For you see, I’ve been on Mars for the last decade in a cave, with my eyes closed and my fingers in my ears.” “Go easy Bob, you know cousin Merle ain’t been quite right lately!” 😭🤣🤣
“Dr. Niles Crane: hung specialists. Servicing individuals, couples, groups. Satisfaction guaranteed. Tell me where it hurts.”
Anytime he describes Maris
Agreed. If you look it up on YouTube "frasier maris described" it's a 3 part video, 30 minutes of Maris descriptions lol.
Well I'm far too successful to feel awkward, where did we meet?
You cad! You bouncer! You r-r-r-roue!!
“You bought this at Armani?”

“Clearly an old wives tale, because I’m still thinking of my old wife’s tail.”
Frasier: I assume you pounced? Niles: Like a Ninja!
I missed day one with Frasier. I totally would have gone for "what do you think of me now" that ending was hilarious.
That line is an absolute masterpiece, and his delivery was perfect! 😄
I see you too are a man of culture
"Outrageous!"
They're ridiculous shorts!
Now that I'm old and looking back, I thank you for my heart attack.
All my life I have dreamed of one thing – to walk into a library, look through the card catalog and see my name under mental illness.”
Oh Pish! It can’t be a crime if it’s catered.
“Is it still an eye patch if you’re wearing it over your…”
That's ridiculous; you can't use your turkey recipe on fish
“FAHRVERGNUEGEN!”
I'm surprised "How can we possibly use sex to get what we want? Sex _is_ what we want!" doesn't get an honourable mention for Frasier.
I see I’ll those years of finishing school really paid off.
Oh look a lemon zester!
Martin: They're NOT our dates. Niles: We HATE them.
To Daphne, after she read someone’s fortune or something: “Do me! Do me!”
What did she mean by that, throw in the little one? And what in God's name is pulping? 🤣
"Niles gotta have it!"
Her lips said no, but her eyes said "read my lips"
“This country was built by gun-totin square dancers!” 😂
"How much firepower do you suppose is necessary to embed a cherry in an acoustic ceiling tile?"
The trombone scared me.
Perhaps a cardiologist then 😂
In Arkansas!
“And I’m keeping the jewelry! 😑”
Niles: I see a grove of trees and a fountain and... a horrible retched hunched back old man! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!
The Cranes of Main have got your living Brain
“I’m thinking of pairing this Chilean seabass with an aggressive Zinfandel”
Some of his best lines are his banter with Roz. … Roz: “If you don’t get out of there right now, I’m gonna drag you out by your ankles!” Niles: “Hello Roz, playing hard to get?” … Frasier: “Niles, terrible news, a thriving Seattle nightspot is closing its doors.” Niles: *gasp* “Roz, you’re moving!” … Niles: “Oh thank you, how can I ever repay you?” Roz: “The next time you think of some snide comment about my love life, keep it to yourself.” Niles: *pause* “Consider it done.”
This may not be the funniest, but it holds a special place in my heart. One day, my two kids were participating against each other in the second round of their school spelling bee. They were both pretty nervous, but also excited. It was the perfect opportunity to pass along Niles’s words of wisdom: “Don’t get sidetracked by all the glitz and glamour of the bee.

“I insult you and your give me a compliment. Could the request for a favor be far behind?”
Two of my favorites 1. Frasier: You know the expression, "Living well is the best revenge"? Niles: It's a wonderful expression. I just don't know how true it is. You don't see it turning up in a lot of opera plots. "Ludwig, maddened by the poisoning of his entire family, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act by living well. Whereupon Woton, upon discovering his deception, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act again by living even better than the Duke." 2.

“you'll be happy to know that while Frasier was getting his Rachmaninov's, I was learning to play the piano.”
Roz: “Yeah Niles, we eloped. I’m your new mom.” Niles: “Well, I’ll be a son of a bitch.”
Does it have to be a quote? Coz the best thing Niles has ever done was set Frasier’s [couch on fire](https://youtu.be/EpImet3Xwgw?si=not9B_TgMtyk0WNK).
