Quotes 

• Daphne : [about Sherry]  She says I'm too rigid.

  Niles : Nonsense!

  Daphne : And that I'm too picky.

  Niles : Poppycock!

  Daphne : And that I'd be much happier if I just went out and had sex with someone.

  Niles : God, it's hot in here.

• Niles : The wine and the heat must have made me dizzy.

  [trails off as Daphne lifts her shirt up to get air from the fan] 

  Niles : ... Tennessee... Williams... play.

• Frasier : All right, all right, fine, it's like the Roman emperor Tiberius, his mother Livia, and his wife Vipsania.

  Martin Crane : What?

  Sherry : Huh?

  Daphne : Who?

  Niles : Go on.
