Frasier
Thursdays on Paramount+Frasier Crane Quotes
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."
Frasier: This place is so stuffy. I love it.
Alan: It's like the sort of place you retire to after a long day of hunting man.
Frasier: You know, when I was back in Boston, I used to be a regular at a bar, and yet…
Alan: Nobody knew your name?
Alan: I lied about the door being locked.
Frasier: What? You mean the door's been unlocked all this time?
Alan: No, no. Have a look. There isn't a door.
Frasier: You've locked me in a room without a door!
Frasier: I don’t think that would be fair. He’s got enough to worry about with his job. I don’t want him to have to worry about my fears as well.
Eve: I get it, but can I give you some advice?
Frasier: Of course.
Eve: You know how sometimes monsters in a movie are scarier when you can’t see them. Well, maybe if you talk to Freddy about his job, then you won’t be so scared for him, and he’ll get the emotional support that he needs.
Now, decades later, I have a son who has chosen the one job more dangerous than being a police officer.
You just took me back to my childhood. My father was a police officer. When he would work late, my brother and I would lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if we’d ever see him again.
I’m not a dog person. Shoo. You think you’re going to wear me down? Trust me, I have had years of experience. I outlasted that little mongrel, and I’ll outlast you.
Eve: And for the final category, wine.
Frasier: Stand back. I’ve got this.
Alan: You’re rich. You’re famous. Your students love you. For some reason, you smell naturally of sandalwood. What more could you possibly want?
Frasier: I wanted to make an impact. I wanted to realize the potential I had when I set off on this career path forty years ago.
Thirty years ago, I left Boston with my tail between my legs. I had dreams of returning triumphant. Now, those dreams just keep slipping farther and farther away.
Why do you think I hired you? For your negligible teaching experience. For the zero academic papers that you’ve written. No! Because you are a big, beautiful dancing bear in a pink tutu that the students will actually pay attention to. That is why you are here. So dance, bear, dance!
