- Daphne Moon: Why are you being so weird? He seems perfect.
- Roz Doyle: I don't know. Just wasn't what I was expecting. Something's missing.
- Daphne Moon: Like what?
- Roz Doyle: I don't know. Well, at the mall he has all this warmth and he's got this jolly sense of humor. Oh, you should see him when he laughs, his whole stomach shakes.
- Daphne Moon: Oh, my God. You're in love with Santa Claus.
- Roz Doyle: Give me a break.
- Daphne Moon: Admit it. You want the jelly belly.
- Roz Doyle: Okay, don't be gross.
- Daphne Moon: You want to bang boots with the big boy.
- Roz Doyle: I've got to get to work.
- Daphne Moon: You want to get your paws on the Claus is more like it.
- Roz Doyle: Stop it Daphne! That's enough!
- Daphne Moon: One more: you're a Ho, Ho, Ho.
- Roz Doyle: Come on, Frasier. Talk to me. Use your words
- Dr. Frasier Crane: It's just so egregious.
- Roz Doyle: Smaller words.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: How are things with Mr. Claus?
- Roz Doyle: I haven't had a chance to ask him out yet.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: What's the matter? Low elf esteem?
- Roz Doyle: How long have you been working on that one?
- Roz Doyle: [Looking in Frasier's bag] Is this for us too?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: No, no, actually this is another "Dancing Santa" for Dad. His other one got damaged.
- Roz Doyle: I thought you threw that thing over the balcony.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Yes, which damaged it.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Ah, we were hoping to uh, use your wassail bowl.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh, I'm sorry. I've already loaned it to Lawrence Emerson and his mandrel-caroling group.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Well you can kiss that bowl good-bye. Frasier, the Yule Tones are the bad boys of Renaissance Christmas music. Have you ever seen a church common room after one of their performances?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Niles. Where is it written that we have to have Christmas at either of our homes?
- Dr. Niles Crane: The Thanksgiving Accord of 2002.
- Roz Doyle: Oh, what is the big deal? Why don't you let him have Christmas?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Because it is just so unfair.
- Roz Doyle: What's not fair?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh, you wouldn't understand.
- Roz Doyle: Well come on Frasier, talk to me. Use your words.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Because, it's so egregious.
- Roz Doyle: Smaller words.
- Martin Crane: Why don't you just use the punch bowl?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Because then it wouldn't be wassail, it would be punch.
- Martin Crane: What's the difference?
- Daphne Moon: Me dad used to say that punch would make you want to kiss the donkey in the manger scene and wassail makes you want to check it into the inn.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Okay, look, it just seems that Niles is systematically emptying my home. We used to have Thanksgiving dinner there... gone! Daphne... gone! If I let him have Christmas, I'll have nothing left. Just end up some... doddering old bachelor sipping tea and keeping the apartment at a balmy seventy-eight degrees.
- Roz Doyle: And how is that different from now?
