William Shatner: Denny Crane

Quotes 

• Denny Crane : [They've just come from court where Alan is facing off against an ex-girlfriend; Denny's concerned about an impotent moment he had the other night]  My penis has Alzheimer's!

  Alan Shore : No, Denny, you just had an off day!

  Denny Crane : ...You said it happened to you once? What were the circumstances?

  Alan Shore : It was with her, actually. Phoebe.

  Denny Crane : What happened?

  Alan Shore : [sighs]  I was in love with her.

  Denny Crane : Oh. That'll kill the moment.

  Alan Shore : And she loved me. Just... not enough. I mean, no relationship is ever quite... even. There's always an imbalance of sorts. One person loves, or is in love, just a little more than the other, but... I just couldn't handle being...

  [he trails off] 

  Alan Shore : So, I left.

  Denny Crane : Maybe it's not too late?

  Alan Shore : She's happily married, with children. It's too late.

• Denny Crane : [Alan has just told Denny about a daydream/dream sequence he just experienced in the courtroom, where he was dancing at his wedding to Phoebe to a Barry Manilow song]  Were you delusional?

  Alan Shore : Not delusional, so much as... I don't know. Like I was in another universe all of a sudden. Somewhere on cable.
