Sylvia: (to Fran) You couldn't call to tell a person that you're coming? I would have Windexed the couch. - Fran: Brighton. Go sleep with your sisters.
Maxwell: C.C.'s in there.
Niles: Well, she's used to getting kicked out of bed. - Sylvia: Miss Babcock, you've hardly touched your tongue!
C.C.: Actually, I'm on a "no tongue" diet.
Niles: The senator will be so disappointed. - Maxwell: (Referring to Merv Griffin) He's a giant in the industry.
Sylvia: Yeah, his weight does go up and down, God bless him. - C.C.: Well, if you'll all excuse me, I have a life to get on with. I have a standing invitation with a certain senator.
Niles: Humph. What some politicians won't do for a vote. - Niles: I hear Club Med has a "desperate women with no prospects" package.
C.C.: It's a waste of money. (her eyes widen) So I've heard! - Fran: (Showing Maxwell a picture in a Cosmopolitan magazine) Oh, gee. Look at this gorgeous, tanned family relaxing on the beach. Oh, who is that attractive brunette in the background there? Oh, gee, you know... that must be the nanny!
Maxwell: No... no, it couldn't be. Her mouth is closed.
