S5 E10Where Every Bloke Knows Your Name

In a flashback to Frasier and Niles at school, the pair don't think much of the lunch in the cafeteria

This lunch is a culinary Hindenburg!

Frasier is very quick to dismiss Daphne's suggestion of meeting her friend Claire for a date

I would think by now that you'd know my policy on fix-ups.

She's pretty, she's lonely and she's an underwear model.

So you do know my policy. Off we go!

S5 E11Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do

Daphne has just told Niles and Frasier about discovering the ring

Do you know what that means?

(ruefully) Yes! We’re going to hear what Mendelssohn’s Wedding March sounds like on the banjo!

Frasier is trying to establish whether Martin knows about Sherry’s previous marriages, by telling a falsified anecdote

You know, Dad, I think it all hearkens back to the puritanical streak that still runs through this country. What do you think?

There's a yakkety-yak streak that runs through this family.

S5 E12The Zoo Story

You signed with Bebe?

Okay, I know, I should've told you. I just wasn't in the mood for one of your lectures.

I'm not going to give you a lecture. You're entitled to choose whomever you wish to represent you. Someone who's honest, or a woman whose ethics would've raised eyebrows in the court of Caligula!

[The station has hired a tough arbitrator, "The Hammer," to renegotiate everyone's contract. Gil's salary has been slashed, but Bebe and Roz come in cheering.]

How on Earth did you get all that?

Oh, we go way back, the Hammer and I. I know where the bodies are buried.... Usually, that's just a metaphor.

Bebe confronts Frasier and presents him with a contract, promising that if he employs her again she will cut him a very good deal

Isn't there a zebra carcass somewhere you should be hovering over?

S5 E13The Maris Counselor

Niles has broken down in tears in the middle of his therapy group. Frasier is trying to keep the patients calm by claiming it is empathy

We've had quite a catharsis here. Now, traditionally it is the patients that make the breakthroughs, but we mustn't be sticklers.

Niles has told Frasier and Martin that he and Maris have split for good, and Martin had a failed date as well

(Pours three glasses) Well, this may come as a small consolation to you, but I believe that you each have a lot of work to do to catch up to me in the failed romance department. Divorced twice, left at the altar once. (They down their glasses)

(Pours another three glasses) Well, I haven't exactly been burning things up lately. Things with Sherry fizzled, then Sleeping Beauty tonight. I think maybe I deserve the booby prize. (They down their glasses)

I'll challenge you. (Pours another three glasses) Fifteen years with Maris; I end up in bed with her lover.

Geez- I don't need to hear that!

No, no- it was an accident; it was pitch dark- I thought it was Maris.

It's a natural mistake. What tipped you off?

The heat from her side of the bed! (They all laugh)

Well, I think we have a three-way tie. Here's to the Crane Boys - love's big losers. (They clink glasses and down them)

You know, I said I needed closure. (Removes his wedding ring) I won't have it till I do one more thing. (Goes to the balcony)

Now be careful, Niles, from this height that can hurt somebody. (He and Martin follow Niles to the balcony)

All clear. (Throws his ring off the balcony) Goodbye, Maris! You hurt me for the last time! (Goes back inside)

Niles, is that your Mercedes parked down there? (Niles turns around, comes back to the balcony and looks down) Oh well, good body shop will be able to pound that out.

(The Cranes stare at the Seattle skyline)

Well, it's Saturday night. Here we are, again.

Wonder how many women are out there tonight without a date?

Thousands. Thousands of opportunities for us to humiliate ourselves.

(shouts) Well, come and get us, Seattle! Three Cranes, no waiting!

We're desperate!

We're ludicrous!

We're pathetic! (All three laugh to themselves before quieting down and staring, pensively, from the balcony. The emotional scene fades out.)

S5 E14The Ski Lodge

Maris is ruthless in her pursuit of a divorce settlement

When we were courting, I sent her a Valentine that said: "You're the girl my heart adores, everything I have is yours". Now they're calling it a pre-nup.

Frasier finds Guy waiting in Niles' bed for him to return

GGuy

You are not the Crane I want!

You're not even the sex I want!

about Annie

I grant you, she's comely, but don't you find her a tad - what would the polite euphemism be - stupid?

Niles, she's just unschooled, like Eliza Doolittle. Find her the right Henry Higgins, she'll be ready for a ball in no time.

Leave it to you to put the "pig" back in Pygmalion.

S5 E15Room Service

Excuse me. I'm looking for Frasier Crane. They told me he'd be here.

Lilith, it's me. Roz Doyle.

Oh, yes, it's Frasier's fun-loving assistant...(notices she is pregnant) who's apparently had too much fun... loving.

[Lilith's husband has left her for their male contractor.]

It's ironic, isn't it? No sooner do I get the closet of my dreams than my husband comes out of it.

Speaking of buns I could do without, Lilith is back.

Oh, so that explains why blood was pouring from all my faucets this morning.

Go easy on her. Her husband has left her, and get this...for a man!

Damn! I owe Dad five dollars!
