Daniel Davis: Niles

Quotes 

• [Niles goes to the kitchen, as he hears Yetta yelling] 

  Niles : Why is she yelling ''baby''?

  C.C. : Oh, it's this whole stupid thing. Big secret.

  Niles : [gasps, thinks that C.C. knows about Fran's pregnancy]  You know the secret?

  C.C. : [thinks Niles refers to Brighton lost]  Yeah, yeah. ''Don't tell Maxwell about the kid''.

  Niles : Miss Babcock, I can't hardly believe you're still standing after a bombshell like that.

  C.C. : What bombshell? It's not that a big deal.

  Niles : You don't see Fran's pregnancy as the final nail in your coffin?

  [C.C. puts a surprised face as the camera makes a close-up of her, giving it a real drama tone] 

  C.C. : [whispers]  Nanny Fine is... p-p-p-pregnant?

  Niles : That wasn't your secret?

  C.C. : No!

  [the same thing happens with Niles, just as he puts a ''oh, damn'' face, giving it the real drama tone] 

  C.C. : [feeling her world is collapsing]  I can't believe that Fine's pregnant!

  Niles : Now, Ms. Babcock, Fran hasn't told Mr. Sheffield yet, and if she finds out I blabbed, I lose my closest friend!

  C.C. : [bursting out to sadness exaggeratedly]  I have nothing to LIVE FOR!

  Niles : Oh, please, don't tell her! Don't tell her! I'll be your slave!

  C.C. : [recovers quickly from her short sadness]  And now I do.
