Quotes 

• Frasier : Daphne, this is my brother Niles.

  [Frasier leaves to get a photo for Niles] 

  Niles : [turning to face Daphne]  Hmm... You're Daphne?

  Daphne : Why, yes I am!

  Niles : Well, I...

  [Niles walks over to her and shakes her hand] 

  Niles : When Frasier told me he'd hired an Englishwoman, I pictured someone a little more... not quite so... you're Daphne?

  Daphne : It's nice to meet you.

  [Daphne takes her hand away and goes back to sorting the laundry; Meanwhile,Frasier returns with the photo for Niles] 

  Niles : Well, what a lovely accent. Is that, er, Manchester?

  Daphne : Yes. How'd you know?

  Niles : Oh, I'm quite the anglophile; I'm sure Frasier and dad have already told you.

  Daphne : No, they didn't mention it.

  Niles : Ah... you undoubtedly guessed as much when they said I'd spent a year studying at Cambridge.

  Daphne : No, they didn't mention that, either.

  Niles : I guess my father and brother don't spend a lot of time talking about me when I'm not around!

  Daphne : Oh, I wouldn't say that.

• Daphne : Well, I'm off to my poker game.

  [to Niles] 

  Daphne : It was nice seeing you again, Dr. Crane...

  [They shake hands but Daphne holds on for a moment] 

  Daphne : Oh, wait a minute! I'm getting something on you...

  [Niles looks at Frasier, confused] 

  Frasier : [explaining]  She's psychic. We've decided to find it charming.

  [Niles looks back at Daphne] 

  Daphne : You have occasional bouts of colitis, don't you?

  Niles : Yes!

  [Satisfied, Daphne lets go of his hand and goes to the door as Niles watches her, almost in awe] 

  Niles : Frasier... she's phenomenal!

  Daphne : [at the door]  It's a gift. Well, cheerio!

  Niles : Ta-ta!

  [Daphne exits] 

  Frasier : Niles, you've never had colitis a day in your life!

  Niles : I know, but I couldn't bear to disappoint her...

• Daphne : Well! Aren't you a bobby dazzler!

  Frasier : Well, I'll go out on a limb and take that as a compliment.

• Frasier : Daphne, what are you doing?

  Daphne : [Shaking a pair of Frasier's boxer shorts]  Fluffing your knickers.

  Frasier : Look, I appreciate everything you are doing, Daphne, but a man's knickers are certainly...

  [snatches them from Daphne and rubs them against his cheek] 

  Frasier : Oh! Oh! How do you get them so soft?

  Daphne : Fabric softener and twice through the fluff cycle!

  [Hands them back to Daphne] 

  Frasier : Oh, well, keep up the good work!
