Frasier
Thursdays on Paramount+Frasier Crane Quotes
Ronee sent over a box of Dad’s old Christmas decorations. I know. Where’s a package thief when you need one?
Frasier: So, how’s little Alice?
Roz: She’s good. She’s good. She’s been dating the same guy for, like, four years. You know how many boyfriends I could have had in that time?
Frasier: You’ve raised an underachiever.
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.
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.
It’s a Sylvan nightmare. There’s nowhere to mingle. There’s nowhere to jingle.
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: 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
