- Frasier: Niles!
- [Charlotte has just told Frasier that she no longer remembers what she and Frank were fighting about.]

Detour [11.21]
[edit]Frasier offers to drive Charlotte to the station

- Frasier: Yes, well, maybe I am, but there are damn few of us left.
- Charlotte: (leans back) Dip. Dip.

- [After spending time with Daphne’s brothers, Niles is worried about his child]
- Niles: The idea that our son might take after them is making me crazy!
- Frasier: Now Niles, just remember, those hearty Crane genes are in there, too.
- Niles: Oh, please. Those Moon genes have probably beaten our genes up and stolen their lunch money!
- Frasier: [Last lines on his KACL talk show] For eleven years you've heard me say, "I’m listening." Well, you were listening, too. And for that I am eternally grateful. Goodnight, Seattle.
