The Botched Language of Cranes (1994)

Jane Leeves: Daphne Moon

Quotes 

• Daphne Moon : [answering the phone]  Crane residence. Oh, no, I'm afraid he can't come to the phone. May I take a message? Oh, nice language, that! I hope you don't eat with that mouth.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Daphne... Daphne, excuse me.

  [Niles takes the phone] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Now see here, how dare you speak to a lady that way! Yes, well, that's no excuse, ma'am. Oh! Only a coward makes threats over the phone. I dare you to come here and say that to my face!

  [sardonic chuckle] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Never you mind where I live.

  [Niles hangs up] 

• Martin Crane : [to Frasier]  Let me tell you something: a city's like a woman. You get one mad at you, it doesn't matter if you're completely right and she's completely wrong, you'll apologize anyway, or you'll be paying for it for the rest of your life.

  Daphne Moon : I'm not sure if I care for that analogy.

  Martin Crane : Oh gee, I'm sorry, Daphne, I was way out of line.

  Daphne Moon : [smiles]  All right, you're forgiven.
