• (Kelsey Grammer) "I know, I know. Now you're going to deny it. Even though it's ludicrously obvious to everyone around you, you two will go on pretending it's not true because you're EMOTIONAL INFANTS. You're in a living HELL. You love each other, and you hate each other, and you hate yourselves for loving each other. Well, my dear friends, I want no part of it. It's time I just picked up where I left off. It's time to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. So I'll get out of here so you can just get on with your denial fest."

• (Kelsey Grammer) "Sam, are you all right?"

• (Rhea Perlman) "Well, at least get the tension on that bun checked. I mean, if that baby goes, we're all dead."
• (Bebe Neuwirth) "That hardly seems just coming from a woman whose hair has never seen a greasy pot it couldn't scrub clean."

• (Unnamed) "Norm."

• (Bebe Neuwirth) "No, you don't understand. Usually, we don't get attached to the rats, but this one was so special. We even named him. Everyone in the lab called him Whitey."
• (Rhea Perlman) "Are you sure they weren't talking to you?"
• (Bebe Neuwirth) "No, Carla, they were talking about Whitey the rat."
• (Rhea Perlman) "Okay, I'll ask again. Are you sure they weren't talking to you?"

• (Kelsey Grammer) "Just a woman with whom Cliff had a romantic relationship."
• (Bebe Neuwirth) "Frasier, if you don't want to tell me just say so."

• (Bebe Neuwirth) "Rebecca Howe?"
• (Kirstie Alley) "Yes?"
• (Bebe Neuwirth) "I'm saving you a lot of trouble, you know. Frasier is a good man, but he is obsessively compulsive and neurotic. Sure, the sex is great, but he gets his feelings hurt if you don't praise his performance. That can be taken care of with a simple "Thank you, Conan"."
• (Kirstie Alley) "Who are you and who is Frasier? I don't know Frasier and --"
• (Kirstie Alley) ""Thank you, Conan"?"

• (Ted Danson) "Time to rap about a controversy / Gonna take a stand, won't show no mercy / Lotta folks says jocks shouldn't be / Doing the sports new on TV / I don't wanna hear the latest scores / From a bunch broadcast school boys / So get your scores from a guy like me / Who knows what it's like to have a groin injury.

• (Rhea Perlman) "None of your damn business."
• (Nicholas Colasanto) "What'd she say?"
• (Ted Danson) ""None of your damn business.""

• (Ted Danson) "You DID, Coach."
• (Nicholas Colasanto) "Oh, then we're even."

• (Ted Danson) "You drinking again?"
• (Kirstie Alley) "Certainly not. I never stopped."

• (Ted Danson) "She better be GREAT."

• (Ted Danson) "Rebecca, could we have another round of beers? The guys are going through it like it's water."
• (Kirstie Alley) "Well, it's not."

• (Ted Danson) "I've never met an intelligent woman I'd want to date."

• (Ted Danson) "Frasier, you realize you have to go back."
• (Kelsey Grammer) "I know, Sam. I just don't know how I can return to a place where I have thoroughly embarrassed myself. How do you do it, Cliff?"
• (John Ratzenberger) "Oh, that's easy, Frase. You see, I -- hey."

• (Ted Danson) "What'll you have Normie?"

• (Ted Danson) "What's new, Normie?"
• (George Wendt) "Terrorists, Sam. They've taken over my stomach and they're demanding beer."

• (Ted Danson) "To me, our relationship makes perfect sense. You want me to propose to you, I propose to you. You say no, I say fine, I never wanna see you again. You drive me nuts telling me you want me to propose again, I do, you turn me down. Next thing I know I'm in a court of law where I've got to propose to you or go to jail. It's the classic American love story."

I'll tell him the truth of my feelings, that I'm not attracted to him romantically, although I am very attracted to him as a friend.

• (John Ratzenberger) "Did I ever tell you kids about the first Thanksgiving? It took place between the ancient Egyptains and aliens from a distant galaxy."

• (John Ratzenberger) "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

• (George Wendt) "Last time out, I must have made a real ass out of myself."

• (John Ratzenberger) "I don't see what the fuss is over this whole will business. When I die, everything goes to ma."
• (George Wendt) "That's great, Cliff, but what if she dies first?"
• (John Ratzenberger) "Shut up. Shut up, Peterson. SHUT UP, THE WHOLE SICK LOT OF YOU."
