[on a hotel balcony, Niles having asked Daphne to run away with him]
Niles : The stars are out. Lovely breeze. Night blooming jasmine. And, of course, there's the beautiful girl...
Daphne : Dr. Crane, I haven't answered your question yet.
Niles : I know. That's why I keep talking. Then, in case I don't get the answer I want, I can at least make this moment last a little longer.
-
[on Daphne's family]
Niles : I must be in love. It doesn't even bother me that you come with them.
-
Niles : [has just found out that Daphne is in love with him] I was just talking to Frasier about a conversation you two had.
Daphne : Oh, dear!
Niles : No, no. Don't get upset.
Daphne : I specifically asked him not to say anything. What was he thinking?
Niles : No, I'm glad he told me.
Daphne : Oh, yes! So we can have a big talk about it! That's what you psychiatrists always do, drag everything out into the open so we can work through it. No matter how awkward it might be. Well, I just don't see the point!
Niles : No, Daphne, I'm glad he told me - because I love you.
-
Niles : What in the world was so urgent that you brought me all the way up here?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Niles, just sit down. There's something I need to discuss with you.
[Frasier and Niles sit down on the two beds in the hotel room, facing each other]
Dr. Frasier Crane : I was watching you on the dance floor just now, and the look in your eyes was unmistakable.
Niles : Well, can you blame me? Mel's quite the little dancer. Of course her vertigo rules out any serious twirling, but...
Dr. Frasier Crane : Niles, I'm talking about Daphne. The way you were looking at her... well, it just breaks my heart.
Niles : Frasier, it was one thing when you were beating this drum the other day, but I'm married now. What's it going to take to convince you that I am over her?
Dr. Frasier Crane : She knows.
Niles : [shocked] What?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Daphne knows that you have feelings for her. She's known for some time.
Niles : How?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Well, it's a long story. but... I think Roz said something. Anyway, she knows!
Niles : I knew you thought my marriage to Mel was hasty, but to poison it like this...
[Niles gets up and heads for the door]
Niles : I'm not going to listen to this.
Dr. Frasier Crane : [standing up] Niles, Daphne feels the same way about you!
[Niles freezes in his tracks and slowly turns around to face Frasier]
Dr. Frasier Crane : At least I think she does. She told me as much the other day and then she denied it once you got married. But I saw the way she was looking at you downstairs just now.
Niles : [stunned] Oh, my God.
Dr. Frasier Crane : Niles, I'm not in the habit of breaking up people's marriages. But how could I not tell you? You're my brother, I love you.
-
Daphne : [Niles has just told her he loves her] Dr. Crane, you shouldn't say such things.
Niles : It's the truth. Lord knows, I have tried to deny it, tried to pretend that I am over you, but not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. Your smile, your beautiful eyes, what it would be like to hold your hands and ask you the question I never dared ask!
Donny Douglas : [entering suddenly] What's the difference between a blister and a boil?
-
Daphne : I don't understand! How come you never said anything before?
Niles : Daphne, I wanted to. I just... the timing just never seemed right.
Daphne : Oh, and the timing's right now? I'm twelve hours from the altar and you're on your honeymoon!
Niles : I would never have gotten married if I thought there was the slightest chance that you shared my feelings. Trust me, Daphne, say the word and I will leave Mel in a heartbeat.

[Niles is sitting in the driver's seat of the Winnebago, looking very dejected. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door]
Niles : Come in.
[the door opens to reveal Daphne, dressed in her wedding gown]
Daphne : Hello.
Niles : [standing up] Daphne...
Daphne : I was wondering... if you might be free for a date?
Niles : [euphoric] Oh, my God, yes!
[they embrace]
Daphne : There's plenty of time for that later. Let's get this bloody boat moving!
[Daphne heads for the passenger seat as Niles helps her with the skirts and train of her wedding dress]
Niles : What, you mean now?
Daphne : There's about a hundred people back there I'm not so keen on seeing.
Niles : [still giddy] Well, all right, let's go then.
-
Niles : What is this?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Well, I got to thinking about our old friend Morrie and how he kept this bottle of wine his entire life, waiting for a special occasion. And then I thought, "What occasion am I saving it for?" And then I thought about what a courageous thing you did last night, taking that chance. And that's worth a toast.
[He starts to open the wine]
