Thursdays on Paramount+Frasier Season 1 Episode 4: "Trivial Pursuits" Quotes
You do not make youngest department head by catching your rival during a trust fall.
Olivia
Eve: And for the final category, wine.
Frasier: Stand back. I’ve got this.
Some kids get to spend their summers playing baseball; I got to categorize my Dad’s wine cellar.
Freddy
Alan: You will rue the day you fought me over Shakespeare and Middleton. You know, you have made the greatest mistake of your life.
Eve: The greatest mistake of my life was not saying I love you to my boyfriend the morning he left and never came back.
Alan: Well, you’ve made the second greatest mistake of your life.
Freddy: My Dad is always so dismissive of my job. I honestly don’t think he’ll ever understand why I do what I do.
Eve: Maybe he would if he saw you in action.
Freddy: Oh, sure. I’ll just start a small grease fire. See where it goes.
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.
Frasier
There’s got to be a fire somewhere. No, like a good fire, like a meth lab full of Yankees fans.
Freddy
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.
Frasier
Now, decades later, I have a son who has chosen the one job more dangerous than being a police officer.
Frasier
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.
