Quotes
-
Dr. Lilith Sternin : I'm here for a convention and I happened to hear your voice on the radio. I kept hoping that you'd introduce Pearl Jam's latest hit, but to my chagrin, you were doling out worthless little advice pellets from your psychiatric Pez dispenser.

Lilith : [to Eddie] Go away!
[Eddie runs off]
Frasier : Now why does he listen to you and not to me?
Lilith : By my tone of voice. He knows I mean business.
Frasier : I see, so you're saying your voice is more commanding than mine.
Martin : Hell, I took half a step before I realized she was talking to the dog!
-
Frasier : Hello, you're on the line.
Dr. Lilith Sternin : Congratulations, Frasier, you've done it again. You've led another unsuspecting innocent down one of your dark, dead-end Freudian hallways.
Frasier : Lilith?
Dr. Lilith Sternin : Overeating is very simply a behavioral problem caused by negative reinforcement. It can be cured quite readily by behavior modification.
Frasier : I see. Well Seattle, we have a celebrity of sorts on the line. This is my ex-wife Lilith.
Dr. Lilith Sternin : What do you mean by celebrity?
Frasier : [darkly] Oh, they know you.

Niles : Well, I guess I'll say my goodbyes as well. Goodnight, Frasier.
[ignores Lilith]
Frasier : Oh, this is ridiculous! Listen, Lilith, uh, Niles is upset because you snickered at Maris's wedding vows.
Lilith : I simply responded with the genuine spontaneous emotion I was feeling at the moment. But, if Niles is not mature enough to accept that, if he is so pitifully insecure, if he is in such need of validation, then I guess for some sense of familial harmony, I do apologize.
Niles : Oh, Lilith, thank you!
[hugs her tight]
Niles : Oh, this bad blood between us has gone on far too long! Next time you're in town, we'll have dinner, just you and me!
Frasier : [Niles leaves. Lilith looks at Frasier] He doesn't get that kind of validation at home, you see.

[Frasier has a surprise caller to his show - his ex-wife]
Frasier : Well, Lilith, what brings you to Seattle, the constant rain?
Lilith : I'm here for a convention, and I happened to hear your voice on the radio. I kept hoping you'd introduce Pearl Jam's latest hit, but much to my chagrin, you were doling out worthless little advice pellets from your psychiatric Pez dispenser.

Frasier : Hello, Lilith.
Lilith : Frasier. Come in.
Frasier : I must be early - I see you haven't had a chance to put up your hair yet.
Lilith : Oh, I thought I'd leave it down tonight.
Frasier : Really?
Lilith : Yes - after several hours of careful deliberation and weighing all the consequences, I decided to be playful.
