Oh, please! I come from Flushing. There is nothing these kids can throw at me that I haven't seen before. Except maybe their trust funds.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
You can't fire me! I quit! [walks out the door, comes back in] No, you fired me. That way, I can collect unemployment.
I overreacted. Didn't I?
Like Reagan in Grenada.
I just hope there's enough food. You know, shiksas are notorious for not ordering enough food. Booze, yes, but food, they don't know from.
Shiska. Is that like a tchotcke?
Yes, but they cost a lot more.
Why does everyone assume the worst of me?
It saves time.
[after an argument with Mr. Sheffield] Can you believe he just sent me to my room? He is so adorable sometimes.
Who does C.C. think she is, butting into my social life?
What social life?
I just went to the movies with Denise.
Honey, she's the cleaning lady.
[Trying to correct her walk]
It's your hips, Ms. Fine.
Well, I've never had any complaints before.
It's the way they move from side to side.
Well, I've never had any complaints before.
Niles, are you okay?
I'm afraid I'm feeling a bit queer.
Don't ask, don't tell. But for God's sake, come out of the closet.
Ill, Ms. Fine. I'm beginning to feel a bit ill.
Oh, you British. You look like us, you act like us, but bottomline: you're foreigners.
I'm just trying to expose the children to other cultures. We order Chinese food, they learn how Jewish people eat.
[After hearing Fran call Mr. Sheffield from downstairs]
Ms. Fine, please. They've already freed Willy.
I don't know about these straps, Ma. You look like a ham.
The salesgirl said I look like a dream.
Maybe Oscar Mayer's.
She should choke on her commission!
[At the Mishkin wedding, Fran tells off C.C.]
Look, I can understand you feeling threatened by me.....yes, even in THIS dress! But there is no reason that we can't get along under the same roof. Oh, wait, you don't live with us!
CCC.C.
Your point?!
Look, you're a lovely woman, and I wish you well. But if you ever hurt one of my kids again, they'll be wiping your blue blood off the walls! And I mean that in the nicest possible way!
[Watching Maxwell and Grace dancing]
Look, Ma, she's standing on his shoes. Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen?
Adorable. Go cut in!
[About her uncle] Jack was always trying to one-up my mother. We bought a Skylark, he bought an Eldorado. We moved to Flushing, he moved to Florida. I'm telling you, she could never win. Oh yeah, once, she grew a moustache before him.
