John Mahoney: Martin Crane

Quotes 

• [Martin is setting Frasier up with Duke's daughter Marie] 

  Martin : Duke said she's grown into a real looker.

  Frasier : Yes, well I have seen Duke, and unless he sired a love child with Catherine Deneuve, I don't like my odds.

  [Marie comes in] 

  Marie : Uncle Martin.

  Martin : Oh, Marie! Look at you! You remember Frasier.

  Frasier : Bonjour.

• [on Frasier's caramelizing torch] 

  Martin : Yeah, I was pretty proud the first time he brought that blow-torch home. 'Til I saw what it was for.

• Martin : Well, don't worry, I found a girl for you. Now, Duke's daughter Marie just moved back in town...

  Frasier : Dad, blind dates remain the refuge of the lovelorn.

  Martin : You know, if you didn't talk like that, you might not have to get set up so much.

• Frasier : You know, maybe there's still time to win her back.

  Martin : Well, it'd take a pretty big bouquet of flowers to do that.

  Frasier : I don't know, Dad. Maybe if I just explain to her what really happened, she'll forgive me. Sometimes the best apology is just the truth.

  Niles : You mean you're going to tell her you thought she was prostituting herself for therapy but now you've decided that's OK?

  Frasier : ...Well, not that truth. Some other truth.

• Martin : Well, I thought you needed a little cheerin' up. You've been kinda mopey lately.

  Frasier : Well, I had kind of a rough night at the wine club. During the blindfolded tasting, I gave four stars to a Mexican Zinfandel.

• Martin : Well, I'm sure glad you two patched things up. You know, Duke and I go back a long way. I got a lot of friends, but there's somethin' I get from Duke that I don't get from anybody else.

  Frasier : Seahawks tickets.
