And awaaaaaaay we go......


Frasier:

Oh, my God. Roz, she's the pre-eminent neophobist of the 20th century. How could you put her on hold!?

Roz:

Well, the phone rang. I pushed the little button...


Frasier:

Roz, what exactly does call screening mean?

Roz:

It means I get to put on the air the calls I wanna hear.


Roz:

Is that for me?

Frasier:

Oh, yes. Freud said that there are only two things we need to make us happy. Work and love.

Roz:

Oh, thanks, Frasier...

[pause]

Roz:

So you brought me work.


Frasier:

Oh, hi, Roz. How are you?

Roz:

Do you really wanna know how I am or are you just making conversation? Because if you really wanna know how I am I'm gonna tell you.

Frasier:

Well, I was just making conversation.


Frasier:

Roz, what is the matter with you? You are supposed to be screening these calls.

Roz:

Just dowse me in gasoline and throw me a match.

Frasier:

Well, I was hoping a stern warning would do the trick.


Bulldog:

Hey, Roz. You know what's over my head?

Roz:

Almost any clever remark.


Roz:

The blackout hit just as the elevator doors opened on the 14th floor. So I stood in the hallway trying to decide whether to, you know, come back up here with you guys or take my chances in the pitch black streets with the muggers and the weirdos. So I went down a couple of flights. Then I changed my mind.


Roz:

Every year I go to my family reunion and answer all the same questions: 'No, I'm not married. Yes, I still have the tattoo. No, you can't see it'.


Frasier:

Roz, how can you just toss him (one of Eddie's puppies) aside after such a tender display of affection?

Roz:

I can do it with men too.


Niles:

Are you quite finished undressing him with your eyes?

Roz:

Oh please, I'm already looking for my stockings and trying to remember where I parked my car.


Frasier:

I was walking down the street and I passed a pet store and in the window I could see two snakes doing a mating dance.

Roz:

You ask me, celebrating a dance that brings more snakes into the world is like toasting a law school graduation.


Frasier:

Just because the last time you were down in Mexico you were hit on more times than a pinata, doesn't mean that was the purpose of my visit.
