Frasier
Thursdays on Paramount+Freddy Crane Quotes
Frasier: I used to hate Dad’s Christmas decorations, and now even this old Rudolph wreath is making me sentimental.
Freddy: Aw. Want me to hang it up?
Frasier: I said I was wistful, not insane.
Okay, well, the Christmas side of me loves it. The firefighter side of me is thinking, “Oh, this building’s gonna make the local news tonight.”
Frasier: I’d like to apologize for Frasiering all over everything.
Freddy: I just wanted to give you a good Christmas, Dad.
Frasier: You know, you’re a lot like your grandfather. You look after everybody else before looking after yourself. But are you okay?
Freddy: I’m okay. And I know I can come to you if I’m not.
Frasier: Stay by my side tonight.
Freddy: Yeah, don’t worry, Dad. I’ll be here. I’ll keep you from Frasiering all over everything.
Frasier: I’ve asked you not to use my name as a verb.
Freddy: It’s just, you have no idea how hard it is to explain to a woman that I’m a grown man living with my Dad.
Frasier: Right. I couldn’t possibly imagine what that’s like.
Freddy: You won’t let me do anything to help out around here. I mean, you pay the bills, you cook half my meals.
Frasier: Which I am happy to do. You’re my son.
Freddy: But I’m also an adult. I spent a long time on my own. I’m used to pulling my own weight. I don’t need you stocking the fridge with pudding cups.
Frasier: You eat those.
Freddy: Not the butterscotch.
Hey, by the way, you could really lock your door. We live in Boston. They literally named a strangler after us.
Freddy: Why are you making pastries?
Frasier: Well, I’ve embarrassed myself twice with Provost Sharma in my attempts to get a professorship.
Freddy: So, you’re being responsible, cutting your losses, and trying again next year. I’m kidding, of course. Please tell me your stupid plan.
Freddy: Buddy, it’s just a B.
David: To anyone else, it’s just a B. But I’m a Crane. You know what it’s like.
Freddy: Oh yeah. The Crane Curse. Nothing’s ever good enough. There’s always a shiner object just out of reach.
David: Exactly. You always have to get the highest grade. Win every award.
Freddy: Spend every summer at Trigonometry Camp.
David: While all your friends are taking it easy at Algebra Camp. Why is our family like this?
Freddy: I don’t know. I mean, growing up, I felt like I had to constantly prove I deserved to be in this family.
David: How did you deal with the expectations?
Freddy: I guess I could until I couldn’t. Then, one lecture, I just walked out and never walked back in.
David: Because of the pressure?
Freddy: Because I wasn’t happy.
Frasier: Freddy, what’s going on? Are you pontificating?
Moose: When Freddy gets drunk, he gets wicked smart.
Freddy: That’s so reductive.
Smokey: See. He sounds like you. What a nerd.
You know, this has been a great trip down repressed memory lane.
Eve: Freddy, maybe this is a chance for you and your parents to work things out.
Freddy: Give me one good reason I should try.
Eve: Because my son will never be in the same room with both his parents, but you have an opportunity here.
