      • Martin: Boy, the minute a man starts getting up there his kids start making plans to divvy up his stuff. Frasier: Dad, you'll be pleased to know that Niles and I have decided to give all your things to charity. We're donating your clothes to the blind.

      • Martin: Why you walking funny? Frasier: Well suffice it to say I learnt today that it is unwise to slide repeatedly down a fire pole wearing woollen trousers.

      • Frasier: He also informs me that you've recently indulged in an unorthodox, not to mention hazardous mode of travel. Mr. Safford: Well that pompous weeny. That's exactly how he would put it. Frasier: Actually, that was my wording.

      • Martin: Well I still think picking on the old man stinks. God help you if you're over fifty and you do anything that seems the least bit odd to your family. (Eddie runs up to him as Martin picks up a bag of chips) Lalalalalalalalalala!!!
