Frasier S1E5 "Here's Looking at You"
Frasier buys Martin a telescope and Martin starts writing notes to a woman across the way, but won't meet her because he's embarrassed because of his limp.
Frasier: Um, Doug, I'm sorry. Can we just go back for a second? You said your mother *literally* hangs around the house. Well, I suppose it's a-a pet peeve of mine but, uh, what you mean to say is that she *figuratively* hangs around the house. To-to literally hang around the house she'd have to be a bat or a spider monkey, you see. Now, back to your problem.
Doug: Do you mind if we stop while I tell you my pet peeve?
Frasier: Oh, not at all.
Doug: I hate it when intellectual pinheads with superiority complexes nit-pick your grammar when you come to them for help. That's what I got a problem with!
[Doug angrily hangs up the phone]
Frasier: I think what he means is that is a thing... with which he has a problem.
Martin: How's Freddie?
Frasier: Oh, Frederick is fine. Oh, he sends his love. He said to thank you for the toy gun you gave him. At least what he can remember of it before Lilith smashed it to bits with a croquet mallet.
Frasier: Well, thanks Dad. You know, there's something I don't say often enough...
Martin: There's nothing you don't say often enough.
"Niles, I think she's having a stroke or something!" Martin about Maris' aunt Patrice, who was speaking to him in a made up language)
"What the hell was that?" (Martin after she left)
