  • When Duke meets Frasier and Niles, he says he's heard stories about them for years as they grew up. He tells Frasier that they were all sad to hear Lilith was cheating on him. Duke says this as if he heard about the affair from Marty when it was happening. However, Martin did not find out about Lilith's affair until last season in "Beloved Infidel," long after it occurred. Therefore, Duke could not have heard about Lilith's affair when it was happening. edit »
  • If you watch closely as the wrecking ball crashes through the window of Dukes you can see the street backdrop wave in the breeze created by the swinging of the ball. edit »
  • (Niles sniffs Daphne's perfume, "Forbidden")
    Niles: Is that... "Forbidden"?
    Frasier: (darkly) In every sense of the word. edit »
  • Roz: I'd like to meet the idiot that came up with these. Take a grape, let it shrivel into a disgusting little wart and cover it with perfectly good chocolate. What the hell. I'll just suck the chocolate off.
    Frasier: Be sure to save what's left. Maybe you can make some wine. edit »
  • Daphne: If you ask me, you Americans have an unhealthy obsession with sex.
    Martin: Hey, I'm sorry we can't all be as chaste and restrained as the Royal Family.
    Frasier: Good one, Dad!
    Martin: I've been savin' it! edit »
  • Frasier: Men with guns will have one less place to go and liquor up.
    Niles: There's always Roz's place.
    Roz: What do you say about me when I'm not around? edit »
  • The title of the scene at the bar Duke's was "Where Nobody Knows Their Name." That is a reference to the Cheers theme song, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name". edit »
  • Episode Title: Duke's, We Hardly Knew Ye

    The title is similiar to the 1977 TV movie Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye. edit »
