Frasier
Thursdays on Paramount+Frasier Season 1 Episode 9: "The Fix Is In" Quotes
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.
Frasier: Do they give out prizes for Best Father?
Alan: I believe they give out mugs, but I don’t think they’re terribly exclusive.
Eve: Oh, he will find every single problem. It’ll be months and months of holes and tarps and dust everywhere, so much dust. There’s bound to be a critter or two, but once he’s done, you’ll know it was done right.
Frasier: Critter?
Frasier: Oh, it’s my knee. An old polo injury.
Roland: Water or horse?
Frasier: Neither, I slipped trying on a pair of chinos at the Ralph Lauren store.
Hey, by the way, you could really lock your door. We live in Boston. They literally named a strangler after us.
Freddy [to Eve]
Frasier: Whatever I did for my father, it wasn’t enough because whatever I did, I could never repay him.
Alan: And you don’t want to burden Freddy because, in your eyes, you weren’t there for him either.
Frasier: Exactly.
Frasier: You know he’s taking advantage of you, don’t you?
David: Oh, I know.
Frasier: And you don’t mind that?
David: Are you kidding? I don’t know if you know this about me, but growing up, I was a little coddled. I have yet to eat an intact grape. But Dr. Cornwall is the first adult to trust me with any real responsibility.
Frasier: You don’t resent him in spite of all you’re doing?
David: No, no. The work may seem menial, but it feels good to be valued.
