Daphne: I found this in the upstairs guest room, I hope it’s alright.
Niles: I-I thought you were going to put on some of Maris’s clothes.You know, something bulky from her wool collection.
Daphne: Well yeah, I was, but she’s quite a bit smaller than me.This is all I could find that fit. Should I go look for something else?
Niles: No - yes - no… oh, you know er… No, the important thing is that it’s big enough, [strokes his hands down her arms] and warm enough, [strokes it again] and silky enough, [strokes it a third time] and… I have to make a phone call!

Niles: I’m having a thought, Frasier. Since Maris has sadly dropped out and we do have an extra space, perhaps we should invite Daphne to join us for the evening. I mean, it is a table for four and, and three is such an awkward number, you know, at a, at a dinner.
Frasier: What are you doing?
Niles: Nothing, nothing… Oh, for goodness sake, Frasier! I’m a happily married man! Maris means the world to me. Why, just the other day I kissed her for no reason whatsoever.
Daphne: Well, I’m off to my poker game. [to Niles] It was nice seeing you again, Dr. Crane… (She shakes his hand, and holds on.) Oh, wait a minute! I’m getting something on you…
Frasier: She’s psychic. We’ve decided to find it charming.
Daphne: You have occasional bouts of colitis, don’t you?
Niles: Yes! Frasier… she’s phenomenal!
Daphne: It’s a gift. Well, cheerio!
Niles: Ta-ta! (She leaves.)
Frasier: Niles, you’ve never had colitis a day in your life!
Niles: I know, but I couldn’t bear to disappoint her…
