C.C.: I find it very unseemly of Maxwell to start dating again. Isn't the customary period of mourning 10 years?
Niles: Die. Let's find out.
Sylvia Fine: Trust me, there is only one man who can satisfy a woman in two minutes - Colonel Sanders.
C.C.: I find I can catch more flies with honey.
Niles: I always thought your tongue darted out.
Philippe: Hello, Caca.
C.C.: What?
Philippe: Is this not what C.C. stands for? That is what the butler told me.
Brighton Sheffield: Niles, this steak is tough.
Niles: So is life. Then you die.
C.C.: What is this un-natural obsession Maxwell has with his children? I can count the number of days I spent with my father on one hand.
Niles: Seven?
Fran: You shouldn't leave the house with things unresolved. That's why men die young.
Max: That's not why. Because they want to.
C.C.: Me and Max have rented a cottage right by the lake.
Niles: How convenient, Sir, should you choose to drown yourself.
Nigel Sheffield: I hope you don't mind me telling you one more time just how, how sexy you are.
Fran: Nope, still diggin' it.
Niles: How do you do, Tiz Maylor? I'm Biles, the nutler.
C.C.: You are a pathetic excuse for a man.
Niles: Ditto.
C.C.: Maxwell, I'm an important part of this team.
Niles: That's true sir, that couch would be floating all around if she weren't here to weigh it down.
Grace 'Gracie' Sheffield: Look Fran, giant Barbie Dolls.
Fran: No Honey, these toys are for boys.
C.C.: I couldn't put a foot out of bed this morning.
Niles: Did someone put a rock on your coffin again?
Answer: Mr. Sheffield needed someone to manage the kids, not necessarily babysit them. Brighton was a Bart Simpson type, Maggie was shy and awkward and Gracie had personality issues.
