What's your favorite Niles line ever?

by **faufner** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 3:46 pm

I might have to go with:

"Prepare to be stomped like a late-harvest Gewürztraminer!"

by **Karin** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 4:00 pm

Hm... There are so many. Just thought of this one:

"Her lips said no, but her eyes said 'Read my lips'! "

"Well, my muffin's stuck!"

by **faufner** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 4:03 pm

Frasier: Remember when you thought the 1812 Overture was a great piece of classical music.
Niles: Was I ever that young?

by **CatNamedRudy** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 4:05 pm

Niles: This sort of thing happens every day. Every day in ARKANSAS!

From which episode is this? Can't remember.

I love all the references to his psychiatric groups, too - e.g:

I had my Fear of Abandonment workshop today, and I've already been a no-show twice.

Yes - and I'd love to stay but I... have my therapy group meeting, and last time I was late the... um... compulsive gamblers were betting the passive aggressives that they couldn't make the over-eaters... cry.

I have a session with my multiple personality. Not to worry, if I'm late, he can just talk amongst himself.

I've got my Compulsive Spending seminar, and I was hoping to unload the rest of these raffle tickets on them.

This has been delightful but I really must run! I'm due at my sexual addiction group, and I don't like to leave them alone for too long.

I have to go, I'm conducting a seminar in multiple personality disorders, and it takes me forever to fill out the nametags.

I came by to see how you're doing, but I only have a few minutes. I start my "Healing with Humour" support group tonight, and I still have to pick up my big shoes.

There's also one about him being late for his dysfunctional families seminar in either The Good Son or Space Quest I think, just after they'd had a family argument!

Wait, dad, the mud pie's coming!

S3's "Moon Dance".

My favourite Niles line is the one where he speaks to Gunnar for the first time:

'There you are! Yes, I'm talking to you, strudel boy! No one seduces my wife and gets away with it! You probably thought because of my refined bearing and swimmer's build that I wouldn't put up a fight for the woman I love, but you're dead wrong, because real men have a thing called 'honor'! Yow! You wouldn't know about that, would you?'

by **CatNamedRudy** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 5:14 pm

I love it when he calls Gunnar "Strudel Boy!"

by **!Amz!** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 6:14 pm

There's so many - probably the one from 'Dial M for Martin.'

Roz: We just eloped! I'm your new Mom.
Niles: Well, I'll be a son of a bitch!

Then there's the maniacal way he says "It makes no sense!" in 'Murder Most Maris.'

Frasier...Where was I?

Niles: You were last seen climbing Mount Ego

Lol and this one

Frasier: I filled in for you when you were too sick to meet with your "Fear of Intimacy" group!
Niles: I wasn't sick. They were just getting too close.

by **Manifan** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 7:35 am

"...............what???"

by **cwhellfukk** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 11:00 pm

Frasier: "Do you realize what this means?"
Niles: "Yes - the Cranes of Maine have got your Living Brain!"

That's a great line. That's one of those that for me would have been difficult to do with a straight face.

Whenever he talks about Daphne involving 'goddess' or 'venus'...

"It's not your fault you hired Venus herself..."

something like that :oops:

by **Paul B** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 12:20 am

Nonsense Daphne, after all this cooking you must be absolutely strap-less.

by **Mayday Malone** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 2:54 am

One line is...

"I was 13 before I realised cows weren't blurry."

Travels With Martin

and Author, Author

But I want you to know that all of my life
I've dreamed of one thing: the day I could go into a
library and go to the card catalogue and see my name
under "mental illness"

Hey all.

I can't remember the episode's name.
It takes place in Cafe Nervosa and Martin is pretending to be hard of hearing.
Niles: "Come on Dad"
Martin: "Huh? What?"
Niles: "GET IN THE CAR!!!"

Another is
Niles: "Spell his a** off!"

DAMN! I had one all ready to go, and by the time I finished reading through the thread I was laughing so much I completely forgot what it was! All I have right now is not so much a line as a "moment"...it's when Niles is in the kitchen with Daphne and he tries to jump up on the counter top and hits his head. I love when he does physical comedy!

(Now I'll have to think of the line I wanted to post or I'll drive myself mad!

)
