I love how Niles slips in insults so seamlessly.

Example: Roz to Niles "your father and I just eloped"

Niles in response "well I'll be a son of a bitch"

That is too funny. What episode is that from?

Season 6 - Dial M for Martin. Here's the actual quote courtesy of wikiquote:
[Niles sees Roz and Martin having coffee together]
Niles: I'm not interrupting anything personal, am I?
Roz: [sarcastically] Yeah, Niles, we just eloped. I'm your new mom.
Niles: Well, I'll be a son of a bitch.

One of my most favorite...DHP's delivery is acting at its best.

From Mixed Doubles

Niles: The truth is, my heart was never really in that relationship.
Daphne: I thought it might not be.
Niles: There was someone else who was too much on my mind.
Daphne: I had a feeling, Dr Crane.
Niles: You did?
Daphne: Yes, as long as you still have feelings for your wife, you know you can't be involved with anyone else. And it makes sense to me. I know I'd never get involved with a man who was separated.
Niles: Even if he'd worshipped you from the day he laid eyes on you?
Daphne: And don't think that's not just how they'd put it too!

Niles: I would have said, "Is this seat taken?" and you would have said "No." You would have said, "My name is Daphne." I would have said, "My name is Niles." And then I would have said, "What are you doing for the rest of your life?"

Daphne: You always know the right thing to say. Oh, I love you Dr Crane.

Niles: And I love you too, Daphne.
Martin: I used to think there was some sort of mix-up at the hospital when Frasier was born. Of course, when Niles came along, it shot that theory all to hell.

I think "Mixed Doubles" is one of DHP's strongest episodes from start to finish, with so many memorable one-liners.

Another favorite of mine is from Word to the Wiseguy, where Niles describes the excitement of dealing with Jerome as a tingling in his chest:

Niles: ... and then it's gone. And now it's back... and now it's gone. And now it's --
Frasier: Oh, Niles. That must be your cell phone, you put it on vibrate.
(Niles reaches into his jacket)
Niles: Oh, so it is!

A few that stick out in my mind more than anything are...

In "Murder Most Maris,"

FRASIER: You know Niles, maybe you should put some clothes on.
NILES: Eh, nah.

It's not a verbal delivery, but EVERY time David Hyde Pierce does the ear-scratching tick, I crack up. It's PERFECTLY executed every single time.
