[On a getaway at a rustic cabin, Frasier imagines conversations with three of his previous loves]
Nanette : Before Frasier sold out, we always dreamed of having a home like this - where we'd be surrounded by nature and need only the food that we grew and the shelter of each other's arms.
Lilith : [dryly] Amazing that marriage didn't work out.
Diane Chambers : [aside to Lilith] She was probably great in the sack.
Nanette : Actually, I made a lot of distracting noises.

Lilith : Excuse me, the definitive study was done five years later at Cambridge.
Hester Rose Crane : Oh, excuse me for not keeping up, I was busy being dead.
Nanette : That's her excuse for everything!
Hester Rose Crane : Don't you have a tambourine to bang?
Diane Chambers : [to Nanette] Don't feel bad, she tried to kill me once.
Hester Rose Crane : Oh, not this paranoia again!
Diane Chambers : You had a gun!
-
Lilith : [distracted by Diane's singing] Can you make that stop?
Dr. Frasier Crane : I'm sorry. It's stuck in my head.
Diane Chambers : [singing] "I was unwise with eyes unable to see..."
Lilith : [Frasier stands and puts a hand to his forehead. Diane stops] Thank you.

Dr. Frasier Crane : All right. I screwed things up with Lana. But wait, that wasn't my fault. She was still in love with her ex-husband.
Lilith : No, Lana is not the problem.
Hester Rose Crane : No, she wasn't right for you at all.
Dr. Frasier Crane : Oh, mother, you would say that. You never approved of any of my relationships.
Hester Rose Crane : Don't pin this on me. I liked Claire.
Diane Chambers : Oh, she was perfect for you.
Nanette : Everybody thought so.
Hester Rose Crane : So why didn't it work out?
Lilith : Maybe because she was just right for you.
Dr. Frasier Crane : What does *that* mean?
Hester Rose Crane : Well, Claire was everything we ever looked for in a woman.
Lilith : And that terrified you.
Diane Chambers : Because inevitably she would have left you.
Nanette : And so, of course, you ran away.
Dr. Frasier Crane : No. No, no, no. I left Claire because I discovered I had feelings for Lana.
Lilith : You *created* feelings for Lana...
Hester Rose Crane : Who was extremely flawed...
Lilith : So you'd have an excuse to leave Claire.
Dr. Frasier Crane : Yes, but I didn't need an excuse. I didn't love her!
Lilith : You didn't *want* to love her.
Hester Rose Crane : She was too good.
Diane Chambers : And that's why you were afraid.
Dr. Frasier Crane : All right, you're saying that I'm afraid of a good woman?
Hester Rose Crane : You're afraid of *losing* a good woman. Again.
