- Dr. Frasier Crane: [interrupting Niles's speech] It's just that I have an announcement of my own to make.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Yes well, uh, new business is concluded, Brother Crane.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: I move that we re-open new business.
- Reynolds: Second.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Denied.
- [bangs gavel]
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Point of order: once a motion has been seconded, there must be a vote.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Oh, all right, just tell us your new business.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: To override procedure, there must be a quorum.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Very well. Move for a vote?
- Reynolds: Second.
- Dr. Niles Crane: All in favor?
- Members: Aye!
- Dr. Niles Crane: Motion carried.
- [bangs gavel]
- Dr. Niles Crane: Secretary, make a note.
- Reynolds: Noted, Corkmaster.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Thank you so much.
- [to Frasier]
- Dr. Niles Crane: Proceed.
- Endicott: [a member, to himself] I remember when we used to come here to drink.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Thank you, thank you, Brother Reynolds, for your inaugural ode, and may I congratulate you on your ingenuity in rhyming "Sauvignon" with "tie one on."
- Kenny Daly: If you can't solve their problems with therapy, solve 'em with drinking.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Let's just keep that out of the ads, shall we?
- Kenny Daly: Too late.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Niles, those people don't care about wine.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Not the way you and I do, no!
- Dr. Frasier Crane: So what's preventing us from starting a whole new club from scratch?
- Dr. Niles Crane: We could really get back to basics!
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Something that's just about wine! And a clear constitutional procedure for enjoying it!
- Dr. Niles Crane: Yes, only maybe this time the governing body could be bicameral!
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Well, I don't know, Niles, there is something to be said for the parliamentary system!
- Dr. Niles Crane: Well, either way we have to have a strong judiciary to keep it in check.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: God, I love wine.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Dad, tell me if you think this is too subtle for my listening audience. "This delightful offering is infused with the brooding, almost dangerous, presence of vanilla."
- Martin Crane: No, it's not too subtle. Unless you want them to know what the hell you're talking about.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Well, you don't think it's clear that I enjoyed the wine?
- Martin Crane: I don't think it's clear you're talking about wine.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: My God, that Sauerbraten is ambrosial!
- Martin Crane: Oh, and wait 'til you wash it down with her papa's homemade lager!
- Dr. Frasier Crane: [on the line with a caller during his wine segment, somewhat deflated] In summary, Linda, the year listed on the bottle is not an expiration date. So that wine from 1997 should be perfectly safe to drink.
