Speaking of okays...

In the Doctor is Out when Frasier goes to a gay bar and meets his furniture polisher Eduardo.

Frasier: I bet you're surprised to see me in here?
Eduardo: Okaaayy.

:lol:

I love Niles asking Frasier if they were too snobbish to enjoy steak, and "fixins".

Just got to think of two more:

In Adventures in Paradise, the french couple who owned the restaurant. They were both brilliant:

Mother: As if I wasn't pregnant when we got married, eh?
Ettienne: Oh, I wish I had been killed in the war!
Mother: Oh, it's hard to get killed when you rrrrruuuuun the other way!

The way she says "run" is pure gold.


In The Wizard and Roz, the black student Petersen shows up in the middle of their session:

Tewksbury (to Frasier): Seeing me dressed like this brings up deep feelings, don't
be afraid of those feeling, go with them.
[He notices the student.] Oh, Peterson. Here for your make-up test?
Peterson: I was. But I'll just take the D.

EVERY line Paxton Whitehead delivered in "A Lilith Thanksgiving"

"I'll have you know, in 22 years I have never ONCE accepted a bribe. I must tell you, I find this utterly offensive.. (looking at what they've given) In every possible way!"

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have guests on the way, and a turkey so undercooked, a skilled veterinarian could still save him!"

I like the scene where Daphne and Martin go for a meal together on Valentines night. Both are feeling down that they don't have a proper date and are in need of an ego boosts. After Martin compliments Daphne on a few things, she says he has lots of good qualities too. Martin pauses, looks out the corner of his eye before timidly asking... "what kind of qualities...". Doesn't sound like much but he delivers it so well - has me in stitches every time :)

That line is my favourite moment in Flour Child! Glad you love it too! Makes me laugh now just thinking about it! Those musical cards really are awful!

James Patrick Stewart as Guy in The Ski Lodge. He is the funniest thing in that episode for me.
I especially like when Niles says that his interests lie elsewhere and Guy says: 'Really?' - the way he says it gives me the biggest laugh of the ep every time!
I also love his delivery of 'can niles and i please have some privacy?' :lol:

also paxton whitehead throughout a lilith thanksgiving - e.g. 'do i sound flexible?', and aaron eckhart in and fraiser makes 3 - just hilarious delivery throughout - 'i punched a raccoon!' etc

and a word about the old guy selling the house in deathtrap - 'do i look like i scuba?' :lol:

Jean Smart was also brilliant.

I also love "Earth to Poppy!" in that nails-on-a-blackboard screech!


My two favs of hers:

From Agents in America Part III-"Aren't you glad I'm on your side?" and from The Zoo Story-"Oh darling, there's always a chance!"



totally agree - bebe is fantastic!

As far as the Crane Boys being doctors are concerned, Niles won't even sit on a chair in the cafe without dusting it, what makes you think he'd touch a human skull? Wearing gloves in a sterile environment, with a little prodding from the lecturer is one thing, handling what they think is the skull of a murder victim, without gloves, which they found under the floorboards? Not a chance.

I don't see why. We hold animal bones (cow's, horse's, pig's etc..) without much precaution. I don't see why human remains would be so much more toxic than these. A friend of mine is a doctor, when a first year student he once found a real human finger in his soup (put there by other students as a prank). When he realized it he just put the finger aside and continued to eat the soup as casually as he could (the best way to discourage any such incidents).

I love every line given to Gil, his accent is so humourous (In a good way).

Everyone's a critic: Poppy: I think I'm gonna cry
Gil: We all are

Frasier Lite:
Gil: That was me you licked.

Kate Costas:This is about your ego which is the size of Seattle. (Love it!)

About Gil:

Daphne: Oh, I just love those wicked things you say when the food is bad!
Gil: Well, keep bringing these and you won't be disappointed! :lol:
