Daniel Davis: Niles

Quotes 

• Fran Fine : By the way, Niles, what is your family name?

  Niles : It's just Niles; like Cher.

• [Niles is trying to get into the Professional Butler's Association] 

  Niles : [about the association]  I happen to come from a long line of butlers, each one a member, until my father, the butler to the Duke of Carlisle, accidentally knocked over a vase.

  Fran Fine : And for that they kicked him out?

  Niles : He was wrestling naked with the Duchess at the time.

• Fran Fine : [to Grace about her imaginary friend's mock funeral]  I see you went with the open casket. But, uh, wouldn't Imogene rest more comfortably without my expensive new boots in there?

  Grace Sheffield : No. She always wanted to be buried with her boots on.

  Fran Fine : But they're my boots!

  Niles : Lord and Taylor giveth and Lord and Taylor taketh away.
