• Fran Fine : [looking for a business card in C.C.'s purse]  What's this? Oh, just a bill from my shrink, WHOA am I unhappy.

• Fran Fine : Hello hello, I'm C.C. Babcock, off to go to work.

  Niles : Your usual corner?

  [doesn't feel comfortable insulting Fran because she is his friend] 

  Niles : Oh I'm sorry Miss Fine, don't make me do this.

  Fran Fine : [smiling]  I'm Miss Babcock and I'm off to get money, from a man!

  Niles : Don't forget your change belt. Oh god.

  [embarrassed] 

  Niles : I hate myself!

• Brighton Sheffield : So, you're pretending to be an actor?

  Fran Fine : No, that's Steven Seagal!

• Charles Haste : [proposing Fran, whom he thinks is C.C. that they finalize the deal together, without Maxwell Sheffield]  You said you're the brains and he is just a pretty face in a blazer.

  Fran Fine : [stunned]  I said that?

  C.C. Babcock : [hiding in the closet, turns to Maxwell, hiding with her]  I said you were pretty great, and a trailblazer.

  [laughs nervously] 

  C.C. Babcock : Darned cellphones!

• Charles Haste : [C.C.'s pounding on the bathroom door]  What's that?

  Fran Fine : Uh, the dog. We put her away because we didn't want her to ride your leg.

  Niles : Yes, we should really see about having her fixed.

• Fran Fine : Oh, Mr. Sheffield, look at you. You seem like a virgin on your wedding night, not that I would know! Ah... because I've never been married.

• Charles Haste : Where do you open?

  Fran Fine : Ooh! I know that one... it's uh...

  Niles : Would you like some cream cheese, Miss Babcock?

  Fran Fine : We open in Kraft!

  Maxwell Sheffield : We open in Philly, Miss Fine... uh Miss Babcock, fine, Miss Babcock.

• Fran Fine : Did you bring the half a mill?

  Charles Haste : C.C., I've been thinking it over and I don't want to give you that much.

  Fran Fine : You don't?

  Charles Haste : No, I want to double it!

  [C.C. moans in the closet, Haste looks at Fran] 

  Fran Fine : Poltergeist! I got the apartment really cheap, but I can't watch TV.

• C.C. Babcock : [unhappy that Mr. Sheffield has agreed to let Fran pose as C.C. to win over an investor, and doesn't believe it will work]  Maxwell, nanny Fine can't possibly pass for me. She isn't in my class.

  [Fran looks at herself in a compact mirror to see if she has anything stuck on her teeth] 

  C.C. Babcock : She doesn't have my breeding.

  Niles : [referring to Fran]  Well then perhaps she won't lick herself in front of company.

  C.C. Babcock : [shocked at Niles' insult]  Maxwell are you gonna let him talk to me like that?

  Maxwell Sheffield : [firmly]  Yes! You attacked our investor that's bad C.C., very bad!

  C.C. Babcock : Maxwell...

  Maxwell Sheffield : Sit!

  [C.C. sits on the edge of the desk] 

  Fran Fine : [to Niles]  Is he gonna hit her with a rolled-up newspaper?

  [Niles chuckles]
