Moons Over Seattle (2002)

Brian Cox: Harry Moon

Quotes 

• Dr. Niles Crane : [Niles is trying to convince Mr. Moon to fly back to Seattle with him to patch up his marriage with Mrs. Moon]  Mr. Moon, you wouldn't recognize your wife. She's mellowed.

  Harry Moon : You're wasting your breath.

  Dr. Niles Crane : All right, all right, forget about your wife for a minute. Think about your daughter. She's heartbroken.

  Harry Moon : My Daphne?

  Dr. Niles Crane : Yes, yes, the separation is tearing her apart. If you care about her, come back to Seattle with me and talk to your wife. If you don't patch things up, at least your only daughter wil know you cared enough to try.

  Harry Moon : Well, you know, I'd love to see my baby girl again. But I can't afford to travel across the Atlantic whenever I please.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Oh, I would pay for the ticket, of course.

  Harry Moon : I can't have you buying me a first-class ticket to America!

• Dr. Niles Crane : Mr. Moon, I'm sorry I dragged you all the way to America.

  Harry Moon : Oh, it wasn't all that bad. I got to see Daphne. And that hotel was brilliant! The towels were so fluffy I could barely close me suitcase.

• Daphne Moon : I can't believe this is really happening. I mean, maybe I'm naive, but I always thought love would save the day.

  Harry Moon : Well, you know, we all think that when we're young. But then life beats us around a bit and you learn to dream a little smaller.

  Daphne Moon : So that's how it goes: two people meet, they're together for forty years, and then all of a sudden it just ends.

  Harry Moon : But it's different from you! I mean, you've found the right person.

  Daphne Moon : You barely know him.

  Harry Moon : Well, all I know is, I threw him out of my pub six times and six times he marched back in and yammered me ear off until, until I went back with him to America - all to make *you* happy! I never did anything like that for your mother. No no, I tell you, Daphne, you've got the right one there. A good one, you know? And another thing.

  [rubs his fingers together] 

  Harry Moon : He's worth a bob or two.

• Frasier : Harry, let me get you a beer.

  Harry Moon : Get a man a beer, he'll drink for five minutes. Teach him where they are, he drinks all day.

• Harry Moon : [Niles is trying to convince Mr Moon to stay another night in Seattle in a last ditch bid to save his marriage]  I can't let you buy me a suite in a 5-star hotel!

• Frasier : [after Niles has failed to reconcile Daphne's parents]  Niles, I'm sorry things didn't work out.

  Martin Crane : Well, she can't say you didn't try.

  [Daphne enters the apartment] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Hello.

  Daphne Moon : Hello.

  [Awkward silence] 

  Frasier : Well, uh, Dad, why don't we go into your bedroom? I want to show you how to use the closed captioning on your TV so you won't have to have it up so loud at night.

  Martin Crane : Yeah, sure.

  [Frasier and Martin head for the bedrooms, leaving Daphne and Niles alone] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Your dad's here in your room, leaving you a note. How's your mom?

  Daphne Moon : Apparently there's nothing left for her in England, so she's thinking about putting down roots here.

  [Daphne sits down on the couch] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : [kneeling next to Daphne]  Daphne, from the bottom of my heart...

  Daphne Moon : Niles, it's been a very trying day. Could we talk about this later? I'll drive Daddy to the airport.

  Dr. Niles Crane : I'll move his suitcase to your car.

  [Niles exits just as Harry comes back from Daphne's room] 

  Harry Moon : There you are. Well, back to England, then.

  Daphne Moon : Yes. No chance of you and Mum getting back together?

  Harry Moon : Don't think so, love. Not this time.

  Daphne Moon : Maybe if you give it another chance. You could...

  Harry Moon : Daphne - I'm sorry. It's over. Has been for a long time! I mean, I've got no complaints, I got something wonderful out of it: you!

  [Harry sits down next to Daphne on the couch and hugs her] 

  Daphne Moon : If you don't love each other, why did you stay together for forty years? Through all the fighting and the screaming and the hitting?

  Harry Moon : That was for you kids.

• Harry Moon : [to Niles]  Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for work.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Sorry.

  [Harry walks over to a table where a young couple is sitting. He leans over to the woman] 

  Harry Moon : Hallo, aren't you a pretty thing? Fancy a roll in the hay?

  [the young man jumps up] 

  Man in Bar : No one talks to my woman that way!

  [He punches Harry in the stomach, leaving him doubled over] 

  Man in Bar : [to his girlfriend]  Let's go!

  [They get up and leave. But after the woman clears the door, the man hurries back over to Harry and hands him a note] 

  Man in Bar : Man: Here's a tenner, Harry. Hope I didn't hurt you. Harry: All in the line of duty. Good luck to you, she's a nice bit of skirt. Man: Ta.

  Man in Bar : Here's a tenner, Harry. Hope I didn't hurt you.

  Harry Moon : All in the line of duty. Good luck to you, she's a nice bit of skirt.

  Man in Bar : Ta.
