Niles, Mr. Sheffield and others in “Unfinished Business”

Niles

Oh dear. That was the last apple.

Oh, I'm sorry, old man. Did you want it?

Niles

Well, yes, sir, but I didn't realize I wanted it until someone else had sunk his teeth into it and now it's too late. It was right there in front of me. If only I snatched it up when I had the chance, I wouldn't have this aching hunger.

Good God, man, have a bloody pear!

Niles

Oh dear. That was the last pear.

Fran

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want it?

Niles

Well, yes, but I didn't realize I wanted it until someone else had sunk his teeth into it.

Fran

You snooze, you lose.
