C.C.: [Max is hiring a female to promote him] Maxwell, I want a man!

Fran: A logger? ....Do the kids know that you are considering an alternative lifestyle?
Max: It's a beer, Miss Fine!

Fran: Well I have no idea! I can't shake the image of you picking up Paul Bunyon in a bar!

Fran (to Val): You're like Rain Man, only without the math skills!

Fran: Men can't be rushed, they're like chickens. You cook 'em too fast, they get tough. Where you let 'em simmer, they fall apart in your hands.

Niles: I believe it's the one where you hide crackers from small children, then stuff yourself.
Max: Ah, Passover
