Seat of Power

Niles: The plumber's been called, the wine is properly chilled - suddenly my world makes sense again.

Frasier: We've had a tough day, and tangoed with a little pipe and porcelain. Now, it's Montrechay time.

Niles: Now order has been restored. By hiring a plumber, that plumber can now afford, say, a Dolly Parton album. Miss Parton can then finance a national tour which will of course come to Seattle, allowing some local promoter to make enough to send his cross-dressing teenaged son to us for $150 an hour therapy.

Frasier: To the circle of life. (They clink glasses)

Frasier: We're not plumbers, we're psychiatrists.

Daphne: Well there are some heads you shouldn't tamper with.

Frasier: You know the expression "Living well is the best revenge"?

Niles: Wonderful expression. I just don't know how true it is, you don't see it turning up in a lot of opera plots. "Ludwig, maddened by the poisoning of his entire family, wreaked vengeance on Gunther in the third act by living well."

Plumber: Were you the kid who used to carry his gym shorts in an attache case?
Niles: It was a valise.
