Frasier
Thursdays on Paramount+Frasier Season 1 Episode 3: "First Class" Quotes
Freddy: Backdraft is a cinematic masterpiece.
Eve: Backdraft is fire porn.
Frasier: Alright, I know what you two are thinking. Here comes the Harvard lecturer in his hackneyed tweed.
Freddy: No, but I was thinking, how long is it going to take my Dad to mention he’s teaching at Harvard? Under a minute. That’s impressive.
Frasier: So, just a bit longer than you actually attended Harvard.
David: Look around, Uncle. You are the Rosie-cheeked debutante at this ball of the brains. I am the strapping young cadet.
Frasier: Go sit down, David.
If you just stop trying, I promise you will stop failing.
Alan
Alan: What’s so offensive about being a dancing bear? You’re a natural showman. Why not use that talent?
Frasier: I don’t want to be a showman anymore. I want to make an impact.
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!
Olivia
They booby-trapped you with your own charisma. How dare they debase you by forcing you to do the very thing you did by choice for 15 years.
David
Frasier: I am not a quitter.
Freddy: You quit your radio show. You quit your TV show. Didn’t you and Uncle Niles once have a restaurant you quit after one day?
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.
Frasier
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.
