• [Last lines] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Daphne Moon, will you, and your beautiful toes and your exquisite ankles and your precious knees, elbows and arms and fingers, shoulders...

  [holds up the ring] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : Will you marry me?

  Daphne Moon : [looking at the ring, and then at Niles]  ... Oh, Niles! Of course I will.

  [Daphne and Niles embrace as Frasier watches the scene from behind the staircase, holding his hand to his mouth as he chokes up. Suddenly, a "royal trumpeter" comes out at the top of the staircase, mistaking Daphne's acceptance for his cue. Frasier then rushes up the stairs and tackles him, preserving the silence. Meanwhile, Niles places the ring on Daphne's finger as we fade to black] 

• Daphne Moon : Oh, I'm sorry I ruined our evening.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Oh, you did nothing of the sort.

  Daphne Moon : I don't know what I did to deserve you.

  Dr. Niles Crane : You kidding? I got the better end of this deal.

  Daphne Moon : Oh, yeah, look at me: nose running, hair a mess, I must look a real fright.

• [Frasier, having gotten all of the people out of the apartment from the originally planned evening, sees a server hiding out in the dining nook. Frasier frantically gestures for the man to come out but to no avail. Frasier then crawls across the floor on his hands and knees as the next conversation begins] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : [to Daphne]  You are simply the most adorable creature I have ever seen on this Earth.

  Daphne Moon : Oh, I'm sure.

  Dr. Niles Crane : No, I mean it. From your beautiful toes all the way up to your crusty nose, there's not an inch of you that I don't adore.

  [Frasier stops at the staircase, watching over his shoulder as Daphne and Niles kiss. Frasier then points to the server, directing him out. The server hunches over and rushes to the door as Daphne and Niles end the kiss] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : You know, it's funny. You could take a million years to plan the perfect evening, and you'd never come up with this.

• Dr. Niles Crane : [Niles and Frasier are trying to get Martin drunk] 

  [to Frasier] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : You're sure he hasn't had enough?

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Dad, what was the name of that widow you dated several years ago?

  Martin Crane : You mean Claire Wojadubakowski?

  Dr. Frasier Crane : [to Niles]  Not yet.
