- 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]
