Frasier
Thursdays on Paramount+Frasier Crane Quotes
Frasier: Surely, there must be some sort of an alternate route to professorship, a Crane lane, if you will.
Alan: Well, you know, Olivia, Frasier, and I have the same level of education. We have the same experience as psychiatrists. We’re basically doing the same job, except that I’m a professor and he’s not.
Olivia: And you think that’s unfair?
Alan: No, I’m just gloating.
Lilith: Frasier, I almost didn’t recognize you. I’m used to seeing you wedged between commercials for injury attorneys and walk-in tubs. I’m just joking. I’ve never seen your television show.
Frasier: It’s good to see you. But if you’re here, then who’s minding the children you’ve lured to your gingerbread house?
Lilith: Hello, Frasier.
Frasier: Lilith. Dear God. Who looked in the mirror and said your name three times?
Good Lord. What were you doing? Lowering someone into a pit of alligators? Trying to raid a lost ark? Maybe romance a stone?
Frasier: It’ll be my time to shine once I show Frederick his gift.
Alan: Ah, a pen. Are you going to use it to write down what the present is?
Frasier: Growing up, Freddy’s favorite book was The Cather in the Rye. So, I did some legwork today, and I was able to secure this pen once owned by J. D. Salinger.
Frasier: We were in rare form today, weren’t we?
Lilith: Doing what we do best.
Frasier: Strange that in the middle of our sniping, I thought to myself, “Ah, the good old days.”
Lilith: I felt that, too.
Frasier: After 30 years, what the hell’s wrong with us?
Lilith: You know people don’t easily change.
Frasier: I thought we were better than people.
Siobhan: Wait. You were into June before I showed up? A date was literally coming for you, and you couldn’t wait until I arrived?
Frasier: To be fair, you were a bit tardy.
Alan: We’re very proud of you. The way you’ve lurched from one failed marriage to another. I mean, I’ve lost count. It must be, what, three?
Freddy: Two, technically.
Frasier: Thank you, Freddy.
Freddy: Yeah, the third one, he just got left at the altar.
Frasier: So that’s how you see me then. My glory days behind me. A retired show pony milling about. Chewing cud in a pasture, one broken leg away from the cold shock of the farmer’s shotgun.
Freddy: See, you get it.
Freddy: Perhaps June can sniff out the commitment issues.
Frasier: Well, you’re committed to your job. You’re committed to Eve and to John. You’re committed to rebuilding our relationship. You’re not emotionally unavailable. You’re emotionally specific about what you’re looking for.
I can’t believe I’m having such a hard time fitting in at Harvard. It’s kind of hard to fall back on the old line, "They’re just intimidated by your intellect."
