Default Favorite quotes?

Anybody got a favorite "Nanny" quote? I heard one the other night that I loved:

(Fran and Max are stranded on an island during their honeymoon.)
C.C.:It's my fault. I wished for it to happen!
Niles:If just wishing could make somebody dead....well, do I even have to finish the thought?

Oh gosh, I love so many! The one in my signature is a favorite, also...

(from when Fran and Maxwell are trying to conceive)
C.C.- What's that Nanny Fine, Slim Fast?
Fran- No, Swim Fast!

Woman: Am I glad to hear your voice!
Fran: Well, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that, I'd have...a nickel.

Fran: Let me ask you a question. When they shot Bambi's mother, did you find that a sad moment?...At all?
C.C.: I'm sure she's mounted in a nice lodge somewhere by now.

C.C.: I couldn't put a foot out of bed this morning.
Niles: Did someone put a rock on your coffin again?

Fran and Maxwell have some great lines together but the C.C. and Niles banter just takes the cake for me. Every episode is filled with them and it's so hard to choose just one or two. I'm editing my set of The Nanny right now so I'm having my dream fill of quotes



C.C. "Well fortunately the Babcock women age gracefully"
Niles "Well you've always been a rebel"

C.C. "I wouldn't be caught dead in that dress"
Niles "You'd have to be dead 6 months just to fit in it"

C.C. "What do I have to do to convince her that she's a beautiful desirable woman?"
Niles "Oh I'm sure you'll think of something sir"

C.C. "Maxwell what? I wasn't waiting up to see...uh...what time you guys got home..uh...I just stopped over on my way from the..."
Niles "Theatre"
C.C. "Yes theatre where I saw...uh"
Niles "Victor/Victoria"
C.C. "Yes!"
(All this while wearing a moustache and goatee that Niles painted on her with black shoe polish!


C.C. "Maxwell, what would you say if I were to walk out of here for a date at 5 o'clock?"
Niles "I'd say see you at 5:30"

I gotta agree! C.C. and Niles are the best. Niles in general is great. He just says whatever's on his mind, no matter what. And C.C. is a great target for him! She's so clueless!

I heard this this morning:

C.C:Why is [Max] taking Nanny Fine out on a date instead of me?!
Niles:HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU!!!!!

Niles "No sour graps now. You could have foreign men worship you too. Go to India, you'd be sacred"

as said to CC when she was complaining about how Nanny Fine has men who worship her

That one is classic.

Tell me why people DONT like this show????

I'm still trying to figure that out! I love this show!

As for quotes, I love when C.C.'s trying to talk to the kids.

C.C.: Maggie!
Maggie: Yeah?
C.C.: I got it RIGHT?



I also love when C.C. sells her run-down Buick to Niles, and then buys it back from the "collector"-"Money talks, butler walks!" There are SO many hilarious quotes from this show!

I just heard this one:

(Fran and Max have just had a fight)
Fran: Did you hear that, Niles?!
Niles: Do you get the house in the settlement?
Fran:Yes.
Niles:Every word!

This was on last night:
(Fran and Max are locked in a bathroom together.)
Fran:Either you let me call for help, or you learn to tinkle in front of your wife. Those are your choices!

I just heard this one tonight:

C.C:I love children. It's a natural thing, it's a female thing.
Niles:Some females have been known to eat their young.

Gotta love those two!!

I forgot to add this classic:

Gracie:Fran, will you sleep with me tonight?
Fran:Right words, wrong Sheffield.

Default Yetta

When Yetta introduces her fiance Sammy to Fran and Sylvia she finds out that he is a black man.

Yetta: "Your black"?........"No wonder"!



Then when Aunt Frieda tells Sylvia:

Frieda:"Your jealous, because I had a speaking part on Broadway!

Sylvia: yeah and your big line was Goobers or Rasinettes

Very Funny Show

Here my favourites:

Fran: I was just trying to be the woman behind the man
Maxwell: Well how would you like to be the woman behind the BURGER KING COUNTER!

Gracie: I ran away. I took a limo.
Franto Sylvia) I ran away, I took a banana

Fran: You're not goin' to the museum in those boots are you?
Max: What, my wellies? There's a chance of rain.
Fran: There's a chance I might fall off this chair, but you don't see me wearin' a seat belt!!

Fran: Where's the Nintendo?
Niles: I accidentally pounded it repeatedly with a meat mallet.

C.C.: Maxwell, you are never gonna believe what happened!
Niles: There was a message on your answering machine?
C.C.: No, no, the box office... (realizing what he had said) NO!!

Max to Fran: I was just thinking, before you came into my life I never had the need for an emergency transvestite.

C.C.: I have to move out of my apartment for a few days and I cannot find a kennel!
Niles: Ohhh, treat yourself to a hotel.

Val: (to Maggie) So, are you gonna enter? (the kissing contest with Billy Ray Cyrus)
Maggie: No, are you kidding? I´d never win. Pamela Chapman is entering. She´s so gorgeous even her mother hates her.

C.C.: ...I mean, do we really know how old she is under all that make-up? She could be...
Niles: ...your age.
C.C.: That´s right, she could be close to for...get it, Niles!

(ringing phone)
Niles: It might be that fabulous man you were telling your mother about.
Fran: No, he wouldn't call.
Niles: Why not?
Fran: I made him up!

(Maxwell´s mother wants the tulips Fran´s holding)
Max´s mother: I had my eye on those.
Fran: Well, I had my eye on Antonio Banderas but I ain´t taking him home either

Max (to C.C.): Look I'll admit it was a mistake hiring her, but I won't question my motivation. History is full of relationships between men and women that have nothing to do with sexual attraction. Like....
C.C.: Uh-huh?
Max: Ummm...
C.C.: Uh-huh.
Max: Um...
C.C.: Uh-huh.
Max: Us!

Maggie: Uh, Yetta, I'm doing a book report, and they're out of it at Blockbuster, and well, I was wondering how much do you know about the Titanic?
Yetta: Oooh, top of the line, they had a midnight buffet on deck, and the ice sculpture....HUGE!! ( Ice Sculpture!)

Fran: Oh great, so I have to wait until you're dead before everybody can know how you feel about me?
Max:Ah, but then I can never take it back!

Max (to Fran): Maybe I should do you in the dining room....... I should have you do the dining room next.

Niles: YES!
Fran: Niles, wha-what happened? *gasp* Did Miss Babcock die?
Niles: No. Better.
Fran: Oh.
Niles: Well, not better, but good.

Sylvia (to skinny sales lady): It's obvious you're cranky because you haven't had lunch. (To Fran) Ever.

Irwin: Hi, I'm Irwin.
Fran: Hi, I'm scared.

Maxwell: I'm not sure I really want to go through that again. You know, the crying and the diapers and waking up at 4am.
Niles: Sir, it's really not so bad when you consider I did all that!

Fran: But I ordered it in white, Doll.
Salesgirl: No can do, Babe.
Fran: Well Doll better do or Babe will kill Doll.
