Daniel Davis: Niles

Quotes 

• [the doorbell rings at the Sheffield mansion] 

  Fran Fine : Oh, that's Val. You know, it's her first time to the mansion and she's my best friend, so I just want her to drop dead.

  Niles : How thoughtful. I'll leave, you pose.

  [as Niles gets and opens the door, Fran strikes a pose for Val] 

  Val Toriello : [with a look of amazement on her face as she enters the mansion]  I'm droppin' dead.

  Niles : [to Fran]  Mission accomplished.

• Fran Fine : What was I thinking telling a story like that to a ten year old kid? On the other hand, if I told him to jump off the Empire State Building... Hello. That was my mother's voice that just crossed the Queensboro Bridge and flew out my mouth!

  Niles : But with such dulcet tones...

  Fran Fine : Oh boy! This is so typical of kids. You try and you try and what do you get? A slap in the face... Oy, my mother again. Niles, call an exorcist.
