The Show Must Go Off (2001)

David Hyde Pierce: Dr. Niles Crane

Quotes 

• Dr. Frasier Crane : Let me be frank because an artist of your caliber deserves honesty. An acting performance is a journey of discovery. This brief rehearsal time that we've given you is - is far too short to reach... Parnassus, home of the muses.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Forgive us for being so blunt.

• Dr. Niles Crane : Half of me feels guilty, the other half feels relieved. Actually, it's about 30-70.

• Dr. Niles Crane : Frasier, this is going to be humiliating. Not just for us, but for Jackson. What are we gonna do?

  Dr. Frasier Crane : What all good producers do. We'll shut down and blame the director!

• Dr. Niles Crane : I got your message. It sounded urgent.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Yes, it's about Jackson.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Oh please, don't tell me he's getting any worse. Yesterday I saw the stage hands passing out earplugs.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : It's not his fault He's only rusty. After years on that ridiculous space opera, he's picked up some bad habits. Well, I was fortunate enough to find a video tape of his one-man show and once he sees this it will remind him of what good acting is. You know, shake loose the artist from the android.

  Dr. Niles Crane : That, sir, is why you are the first Crane in "Crane And Crane Productions".
