John Mahoney: Martin Crane

Quotes 

• Daphne : [writing a letter]  Mr. Crane, is the proper term "serial killer" or "serial murderer?"

  Martin Crane : Serial killer, why?

  Daphne : Oh, just letting my old mum know what's going on in Seattle. She worries when she doesn't hear from me.

• Martin Crane : You know, these things don't happen that often. It's like when I met your mother, it was at a crime scene. Hester was a psychiatrist, so every now and again the department would have her run up a profile on a suspect. I remember the first time I met her. It was over the chalk outline of a murder victim. She drew a little smile on the head of the outline, and I drew a pair of eyes, and before you knew it we were laughing like a couple of kids.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Dad, you're a ghoul.

  Martin Crane : I was joking. We couldn't draw on the outline, they hadn't moved the body yet.

• Martin Crane : [Niles finishes playing a lively song on the piano, while he and Martin are smoking cigars]  Ah, they don't write songs like that anymore.

  Dr. Niles Crane : This is really what men do, isn't it, Dad?

  Martin Crane : Yeah. This, and some things outdoors, but we'll just stick to this for now.
