• Brighton Sheffield : [to Fran and Niles]  Dad and I are going to go see the Padres play the Mets. OK, see you guys.

  [Brighton leaves the room as Maxwell enters] 

  Maxwell Sheffield : [to Fran and Niles]  All right, well Brighton and I are off to see Pagliacci at the Met.

  [Maxwell leaves the room] 

  Fran Fine : Oh, isn't this funny how people just hear what they want to hear.

  Niles : Yes, one of the pitfalls of a big house.

  Fran Fine : [excitedly]  When did Brad Pitt call the house?

• [first lines] 

  Fran Fine : [comes down stairs]  Oh, Ni-les.

  Niles : Hmm?

  [Fran daintily turns] 

  Niles : Oooh, Friday night; dressed to kill...

  [leans toward her slightly and lowers his voice] 

  Niles : going to temple to pray for a date?

  Fran Fine : [demurely excited]  Ma said they got a new cantor. And he's single and gorgeous. I'm hoping for a religious experience.

  Niles : [lightly chuckles]  Does anyone in your faith ever take a vow of celibacy?

  Fran Fine : Just me.

  [Niles smiles] 

  Fran Fine : But I decided that I'm taking Maggie and Gracie with me. I think that it's important that they learn how people of other religions pick up men.

  Niles : [chuckles]  Oh, by the way: The airline called; I'm afraid they can't locate your suitcase.

  Fran Fine : Oh, it doesn't matter. That's why you never put anything important in the baggage that you check.

  Niles : Well, it's automatically insured for $500.

  Fran Fine : But stupid me had to put that $500 watch in there.

  Niles : When did you get a $500 watch?

  Fran Fine : Tomorrow.

• Grace Sheffield : [comes in with a babushka and dress]  Okay, Fran; I'm ready for temple.

  Fran Fine : [bends down]  Honey, it's only Friday night services. We're not fleeing Anatevka.

  [leads her out of the room; fade to credits]
