• C.C. : [commenting on Fran's outfit and matching hat]  Nanny Fine, a synthetic fur, how very P.C. of you

  Fran : [confused]  What?

  C.C. : P.C. as in politically correct.

  Fran : Oh well actually it's J.C. as in Penney.

  [looks at C.C.'s blue jacket] 

  Fran : your outfit is nice too.

  C.C. : Of course dear, it's an Adolfo.

  Niles : As in Hitler.

  [C.C. gives him a dirty look] 

• Brighton Sheffield : [Watching Brock Storm in "One Day After Another"]  God, this is boring. Brock hasn't even moved since the last commercial.

  Maggie Sheffield : Shh. That's because he's in a coma.

  Fran Fine : Look, he's gonna drool again.

  Niles : The man is a master of bodily fluids.

  Brighton Sheffield : But nothing's happening.

  Fran Fine : That's because you don't know how to watch. See how Nurse Judy is clutching the I. V. pole?

  Brighton Sheffield : So she's dizzy.

  Fran Fine : So she's pregnant. And Brock's the father.

  Niles : I thought he was in a coma.

  Fran Fine : Plus he's had a vasectomy. Is that man virile or what?

  Grace Sheffield : What's a vasectomy?

  Fran Fine : Uh, it's elective surgery, honey.

  Maggie Sheffield : Like when C. C. went to Switzerland and came back without her thighs.

  [Fran looks stunned] 

  Grace Sheffield : Did C. C. have a vasectomy?

  Fran Fine : [Repressing a laughter]  No. No, honey.

  Niles : [Smirking]  I hear she's given a few.

• Val Toriello : [about Fran's walk-in closet]  Ah, what a walk-in! If it had a bathroom, you could sublet.

  Fran Fine : Did you smell the padded potpourri hangers?

  Val Toriello : Please, I had to take an antihistamine.

• Fran Fine : Uh, would Brock by any chance have the hots for me, and, and it would be better for you and your show if I went out with him?

  C.C. Babcock : Miss Fine, how could you imply...

  Maxwell Sheffield : Shut-up, C. C. ! Yes, yes, it's true! We're sacrificing you to Brock to close our filthy business deal!

  Fran Fine : [Quick pause]  All right.

  [Walks out of the room, then enters again] 

  Fran Fine : Uh-oh.

  Maxwell Sheffield , C.C. Babcock : [Both]  What?

  Fran Fine : A date with Brock, now wouldn't that be mixing business with personal? You know.

  [Gestures mixing] 

  C.C. Babcock : [Glaring at Mr. Sheffield]  Maxwell, what is this? And why are you doing it with her?

  Maxwell Sheffield : Oh, just some silly rule I made. What say we forget that rule?

  Fran Fine : Oh, no. Rules are rules.

  Maxwell Sheffield : Rules are made to be broken.

  Fran Fine : I don't know.

  Maxwell Sheffield : Forget the rules! I hate the rules! New rule! No rules! I want you to mix business with personal. I want you to call Val on my business line. Invite her over, have a party! Here, take my credit card, redecorate the house!

  Fran Fine : [Quick pause]  All right.

  [Walks off] 

  C.C. Babcock : Maxwell, if you don't mind, I think I'll handle the negotiations with Brock's agent.

• Fran Fine : [about her disastrous date with Brock Storm]  Oh, Mister Sheffield, I hope I didn't screw up your play.

  Maxwell Sheffield : Well, frankly, after the way Brock treated you this evening, I'm not sure I'd care to work with him anyway.

  Fran Fine : Oh, too bad. Because now he could really hit those high notes.
