- Val Toriello: Well Fran, you know what they say...
- [there is an extremely long pause]
- Fran Fine: [anxiously] What, Val?
- Val Toriello: No, really, *you* know what they say, Fran. You're far more the sophisticate than I.
- Niles: Sir, please let me have this weekend off. My last vacation was two years ago, but it doesn't really count. Ms. Babcock showed up and then there was this tropical depression. Mine!
- Maxwell Sheffield: Well, to be honest Niles, I did just give you a month off already.
- Niles: I was recovering from a heart attack!
- Fran Fine: Look, how you budget your vacation time is your business.
- C.C. Babcock: What a treat. It's not often you see a domestic dispute involving actual domestics.
- C.C. Babcock: [Niles doesn't bite] Hey. I just insulted you. You're supposed to insult me back, there's a rhythm to these things, man!
- C.C. Babcock: Mmm. Niles, this might be the best cup of coffee you've ever made.
- Niles: Well, in honour of our new alliance I must confess this is the first time I've put it in a clean cup.
