- Frasier: That's it. I'm quirky. I'm delightfully quirky.
- Niles: Do you realize that your delightful quirk has brought your life to a standstill?
- Frasier: Niles, I've just finished my two thousandth show. I'm exhausted, physically and emotionally. I believe that I am entitled to an entire weekend of doing nothing, don't you?
- Niles: Do you know you have your pyjamas on backwards?
- Frasier: Another delightful quirk of mine.
- Niles: Not from where I'm sitting.
- [When Frasier gets a lead on a missing tape.]
- Frasier: I'll put on some pants.
- Niles Crane: Zipper goes in front.
- [Daphne is moping about losing Frasier's tape, so Martin shows her how he's covered up breaking a lot of Frasier's "treasures."]

- Cam: You do your share of polluting with that substitute for masculinity you're driving.
- Frasier: If mine's a substitute for masculinity, then what is yours?
- Cam: Bigger!
- Frasier: This land is rich with snow- covered mountains, sun-kissed beaches, wild untamed rivers and a, a warm loving people ready to embrace you. Immerse yourself in the spectacle and the grandeur that are these United States, this America! (a large American flag drapes over his window)

- Wolfgang Puck: [annoyed] Yes, Dr. Crane?
- Frasier: It's just that, I couldn't help noticing that the crab cakes are getting a bit... brown.

- Daphne: I certainly have not. Imagine the cheek of the man, installing an illegal washer-dryer!
- Joe: Oh, they're not illegal, a lot of the units have them. You guys have a hookup in that hall closet where you keep all those hats...
- [Daphne, in the middle of folding the latest load she's brought up from the basement laundry room, glares at Frasier.]
- Frasier: First of all, I had completely forgotten about the hookup. Second of all, I believe the homburg is poised for a comeback!
- [Daphne is angling for Frasier to buy a washer-dryer. Frasier has discovered an odd sock.]

- Frasier: Carla...
- Carla: Knock off! I'm toasting! [to Cliff] The twenty years I have known you would have been less painful if I was covered with open sores and thrown into a pit with a bunch of diseased rats. But now, finally you're leaving, I know I'm not as young as I used to be but I can live again, I can live again! Finally I can live, I can live!! [Noticing that everybody is shocked] Anyway...God bless.

- Niles: I'll put you up in a hotel.
- Harry: I can't let you buy me a suite in a five-star hotel!
- Niles: Mr. Moon, I'm sorry I dragged you all the way to America.
- Harry: Oh, it wasn't all that bad. I got to see Daphne. And that hotel was brilliant! The towels were so fluffy I could barely close me suitcase.
- Daphne: So that's how it goes: two people meet, they're together for forty years, and then all of a sudden it just ends.
- Harry: But it's different for you! I mean, you've found the right person.
- Daphne: You barely know him.
- Harry: Well, all I know is, I threw him out of my pub six times, and six times he marched back in and yammered me ear off until, until I went back with him to America - all to make YOU happy! I never did anything like that for your mother. No no, I tell you, Daphne, you've got the right one there. A good one, you know? And another thing. [rubs his fingers together] He's worth a bob or two.
