• Martin : I wouldn't like it.

  Frasier : Oh Dad, how do you know if you don't try it?

  Martin : Well I didn't have to get shot in the hip with a .38 to know I wouldn't like that.

• Niles : The food is to die for.

  Martin : Niles, your country and your family are to die for, food is to eat.

• Martin : Oh, it's supposed to resist wrinkles. They had one in the display window wadded up inside a mayonnaise jar!

  Niles : Frasier, is he our real father?

• Waitress : And now if you're ready, you can claim your steaks.

  Niles : Claim our steaks?

  Martin : You get to pick the cut you want off the beef trolley!

  Frasier : How much extra would I have to pay to get one from the refrigerator?

• Martin : Sometimes there's nothing like a good steak.

  Frasier : I wish this was one of those times.

• Frasier : I just don't think it's very smart to make rude gestures at other drivers.

  Martin : He cut you off!

  Frasier : That doesn't matter. You do not antagonize a man whose bumper sticker says "If you're close enough to read this I'll kill you."

  Martin : Big talk for somebody in a Volvo!

• Martin : [on his new suit]  Look at this, it's real sharkskin, watch it change colors when I move.

• Martin : There's nothing like the smell of charbroiled meat.

  Niles : This aroma's triggering a sense memory. Something familiar. It's... oh, of course, Maris in her home tanning bed.
