Moons Over Seattle (2002)

Jane Leeves: Daphne Moon

Quotes 

• [Last lines. Niles answers his door to find Daphne, his fiancee] 

  Daphne Moon : I want to marry you!

  Dr. Niles Crane : [smiles, surprised]  I want to marry *you!*

  Daphne Moon : No, I want to marry you *now!*

  Dr. Niles Crane : As in... *now?*

  Daphne Moon : Yes.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Why?

  Daphne Moon : Why? Because you'd do anything, even put up with my insane family, to make me happy. Because you'd travel halfway around the world to make my dreams come true, even the impossible ones. And because I can't spend one more minute without being your wife, Niles Crane. Because I adore you.

  Dr. Niles Crane : But... I thought you always wanted a big wedding.

  Daphne Moon : Do you want to make my dreams come true? *This* is my dream.

  [Niles gets his coat. They leave together] 

• Daphne Moon : I can't believe this is really happening. I mean, maybe I'm naive, but I always thought love would save the day.

  Harry Moon : Well, you know, we all think that when we're young. But then life beats us around a bit and you learn to dream a little smaller.

  Daphne Moon : So that's how it goes: two people meet, they're together for forty years, and then all of a sudden it just ends.

  Harry Moon : But it's different from you! I mean, you've found the right person.

  Daphne Moon : You barely know him.

  Harry Moon : Well, all I know is, I threw him out of my pub six times and six times he marched back in and yammered me ear off until, until I went back with him to America - all to make *you* happy! I never did anything like that for your mother. No no, I tell you, Daphne, you've got the right one there. A good one, you know? And another thing.

  [rubs his fingers together] 

  Harry Moon : He's worth a bob or two.

• Frasier : [after Niles has failed to reconcile Daphne's parents]  Niles, I'm sorry things didn't work out.

  Martin Crane : Well, she can't say you didn't try.

  [Daphne enters the apartment] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Hello.

  Daphne Moon : Hello.

  [Awkward silence] 

  Frasier : Well, uh, Dad, why don't we go into your bedroom? I want to show you how to use the closed captioning on your TV so you won't have to have it up so loud at night.

  Martin Crane : Yeah, sure.

  [Frasier and Martin head for the bedrooms, leaving Daphne and Niles alone] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Your dad's here in your room, leaving you a note. How's your mom?

  Daphne Moon : Apparently there's nothing left for her in England, so she's thinking about putting down roots here.

  [Daphne sits down on the couch] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : [kneeling next to Daphne]  Daphne, from the bottom of my heart...

  Daphne Moon : Niles, it's been a very trying day. Could we talk about this later? I'll drive Daddy to the airport.

  Dr. Niles Crane : I'll move his suitcase to your car.

  [Niles exits just as Harry comes back from Daphne's room] 

  Harry Moon : There you are. Well, back to England, then.

  Daphne Moon : Yes. No chance of you and Mum getting back together?

  Harry Moon : Don't think so, love. Not this time.

  Daphne Moon : Maybe if you give it another chance. You could...

  Harry Moon : Daphne - I'm sorry. It's over. Has been for a long time! I mean, I've got no complaints, I got something wonderful out of it: you!

  [Harry sits down next to Daphne on the couch and hugs her] 

  Daphne Moon : If you don't love each other, why did you stay together for forty years? Through all the fighting and the screaming and the hitting?

  Harry Moon : That was for you kids.
