Episode Quotes

Season 3 / Episode 9: - Frasier Grinch

Niles: [on Maris] I called this morning to arrange the delivery of her Christmas gift, and she said the only gift she'd accept from me was an abject apology.
Frasier: Going to cave into her, aren't you?
Niles: Au contraire. I told her I was not about to apologise, and from that point on, the respect in her voice came through loud and clear. No small feat, considering at the time she was speaking at the time through the hole in her massage table.

Season 3 / Episode 9: - Frasier Grinch

Dr. Frasier Crane: Hi, we're back. As most of my faithful listeners know, every year I compose a parable that I hope will illuminate the spirit of the Christmas season. So without any further ado, I give you "The Story of Olaf, the lonely little goatherd."

Dr. Frasier Crane: [reading] "Once upon a time, there lived a lonely little goatherd. He had no family, and no playthings, so to amuse himself, one day he carved a little wooden flute...”'

Dr. Frasier Crane: [ignoring them] "A flute that he used to play during the long, lonely evenings. And the tune it made was very lovely, and all the people in the village below could hear the pure, glorious sound...”

Dr. Frasier Crane: This is all very amusing, but nothing you can do is going to distract me!

Dr. Frasier Crane: [keeps reading] "One day, the son of a wealthy merchant heard the music, and while that boy had all the toys in the world, he was jealous of this little goatherd's flute."

Dr. Frasier Crane: "So, one dark-"

Dr. Frasier Crane: "-night, one dark-"

Dr. Frasier Crane: -windy night, The merchant's son stole his precious instrument, but when he took that flute home, he couldn't make it play. So he smashed the flute to bits."

Dr. Frasier Crane: "When the little goatherd came down the mountain the next day, and saw his flute was broken...”

Dr. Frasier Crane: YIKES!...”He might have said that, but instead he forgave the merchant's son. And the wealthy merchant adopted the little goatherd, and...”

Dr. Frasier Crane: OH, MAMA!...”he said, upon meeting the merchant's wife, and somewhere along the way, he learned the true meaning of Christmas." This is Dr. Frasier Crane, wishing you a truly blessed and forgiving holiday.

Dr. Frasier Crane: There now, you see? Nice try. Miss Kane's delightful performance aside, this just proves the power of my message cannot be stayed... for God's sakes, what am I, a robot?

Dr. Frasier Crane: And to all a good night.
