• Martin Crane : [Frasier and Niles bump into Estelle, after Martin's date with Penelope]  Oh, all right, here's what happened. Penelope and I got along great, but after I dropped her off, I was still hungry. So I went to this little coffee shop near McGinty's for chili fries. Now, I know what you're wondering: doesn't McGinty's have chili fries? Yes, and they're very tasty, but...

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Who the hell is Estelle?

  Martin Crane : She works in the coffee shop. We got to chattin' and the next thing you know, we're havin' a nightcap at McGinty's. Hey, when it rains, it pours.

• Dr. Niles Crane : You're going to date both of them? Are you sure that's wise?

  Martin Crane : It's just dating. I met 'em both at the same time, I like 'em both. Where's the harm in it?

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Well, don't you think it's a little risky? I mean, what if one of them should find out?

  Dr. Niles Crane : Penelope, for example.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Yes, yes, you wouldn't want to alienate her permanently.

  Martin Crane : Oh, don't worry. I've watched you juggle. I got a pretty good handle on what not to do.

• Dr. Frasier Crane : So, wow! Is that espresso?

  Martin Crane : Yeah, a little pick-me-up in between dates. This juggling thing isn't as easy as I make it look. But don't you worry: they're both gettin' first class passage on the S.S. Martin!

  Dr. Niles Crane : [to Frasier]  So that's where you get that from.

• Dr. Frasier Crane : Dad, what about Penelope?

  Martin Crane : Oh, I'm seeing her Tuesday.

  Dr. Niles Crane : You just made a date with Estelle.

  Martin Crane : Not for Tuesday.
