- [Niles is trying to weasel out of inviting Martin to stay with him]
- Niles: Eddie... you know, Dad, I just realized, my building doesn't allow dogs.
- Martin Crane: Oh, well that's it, because I'm not leaving Eddie.
- Niles: Oh, what a shame.
- Martin Crane: Yeah, I guess I can find someplace. It can't be too small, though, 'cause it's gotta have a bedroom for Daphne.
- Niles: [reconsiders] You know, Dad, about that no-dog rule? I could speak to Clarice, the head of our co-op board.
- Martin Crane: Really? You think she'd make an exception?
- Niles: Well, let's just say she's bent quite a few rules in her time, and if she doesn't want her husband to find out, she'll bend this one.
- Martin Crane: That's great!
- Niles: Its settled, Daphne can move in straight away... you and Daphne.
- Martin Crane: [opens front door at Nile's apartment] Oh hi Frasier.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Hi Dad. Hi Niles. Forgive me, I know how annoying it can be to drop by without calling first.
- Niles: Don't worry. I used to do it all the time.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: That's how I know.
- Niles: [a look of cunning on his face] I can't let her leave. I just can't.
- Martin Crane: [nervous] Well, there's nothin' we can do about it.
- Niles: I still have a day. I just have to be more... resourceful.
- Martin Crane: [fearfully] Like how?
- [stumbles back against a pillar]
- Niles: It's my problem, not yours. I just have to think. Fresh air, maybe that'll calm me down.
- [He climbs the stairs to the landing and looks out window]
- Niles: Oh, look at the sunset!
- [turns with same oddly crafty expression]
- Niles: Dad, come join me on the balcony.
- [Roz suggests that Martin move in with Niles]
- Roz: Niles's place is so huge, and he's at work all the time.
- Martin Crane: Yeah, that's true. And Maris is out of the picture now...
- Roz: You know what? I just thought of something. For a while there your daughters-in-law were Maris and Lilith. Whoa, Happy Thanksgiving!
- Roz: So Martin, why don't you tell Niles your new idea?
- Martin Crane: Well, actually, it was Roz's idea, but I think she might have something, you know? You know, Frasier and I have been kinda buttin' heads lately...
- Niles: Well, Frasier has been very difficult. I don't know how you live with him.
- Martin Crane: Well, that was Roz's idea. She suggested that I move in with you for a while.
- Niles: [dumbstruck] Did she?
- Martin Crane: Yeah. You know, we talked about it when I first got shot, but of course Maris was the problem. So I guess the big question now is: Do you still want me?
- Niles: [a fake smile pasted on] Oh, don't be silly. I want you just as much now as I wanted you then.
- Martin Crane: Oh, a call came in for you.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Rebecca Wendell! Oh my God!
- Martin Crane: Isn't she that model you've been after?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Not just a model, Dad, a lingerie model! I met her at the symphony. Wow, this is amazing! When did this come in?
- Martin Crane: About an hour ago.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: I was here an hour ago.
- Martin Crane: Yeah, you were in the tub.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: That didn't stop you yesterday when you came in to ask me if a peach smelled funny!
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Well, I hope you're happy! Now I have to sit here all afternoon waiting for the phone to ring!
- Martin Crane: As opposed to what you normally do?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh, that's rich coming from you! A man who's spent the last five years welded to his aptly named Lay-Z-Boy!
