The Kibbutz

Maxwell Sheffield: It's amazing. Every time I ask you to do something, you always manage to screw it all up.
Fran Fine: And yet, you continue to ask me! You need help, Mister.

Fran Fine: It's so hard planning a vacation when you're single.
Niles: Yes it's much better when you have a family, so you can haul around their ski equipment and listen to 'Niles get me a brandy' 'Niles get me a comforter' 'Niles go out in the snow for a pizza!'
Maxwell Sheffield: [entering] Niles...
Niles: WHAT? is that on your shoe?

Niles: [passing by dancing women on the island] Looking good, Marisol... shake it Miss Babcock.
[C.C. turns around]
Niles: Oh daylight come and me wan' go home.

Fran Fine: When I was 16, I went on a Kibbutz and I had the time of my life.
Margaret 'Maggie' Sheffield: A Kibbutz? Isn't that like one of those hippie communes from the 60s?
Fran Fine: Well, yeah except the only thing we smoked was fish.

Maxwell Sheffield: [discussing holiday plans with Niles] Why don't you take a nice vacation just for yourself?
Chastity Claire 'C.C.' Babcock: Oh please, the lost Marx brother Cheapo?

Chastity Claire 'C.C.' Babcock: Looky Diamond Jim, I brought you some travel brochures. Don't worry, they're free. Let's see, windsurfing in St Bart's. Uh oh, twenty-five dollar equipment fee.
[tosses the brochure away]
Chastity Claire 'C.C.' Babcock: You know, if you flip one really fast it's like you're there.
Niles: Is that how you make your dates move? As it happens I've made travel plans.
Chastity Claire 'C.C.' Babcock: Oh? Which island did you decide on, Staten or Coney?
Niles: Actually, I can afford to make a lovely trip. I sold a gaudy pair of gold cufflinks Mr. Sheffield gave me. One treble clef, one bass clef.
[shivers in disgust]
Chastity Claire 'C.C.' Babcock: I gave Maxwell those cufflinks for his birthday.
Niles: Oh. Well then thanks for the trip.

Maxwell Sheffield: [to C.C. and Niles about the Christmas holidays] I propose we shut up the office on the fifteenth. No one important is ever around for the holidays. You staying in town again, C.C.?

Maxwell Sheffield: Miss Fine. I've made a decision.
Fran Fine: Yeah.
Maxwell Sheffield: I simply can't risk Margaret spending her whole winter vacation with that boy, so I'm sending her abroad.
Fran Fine: A broad? You want her swinging that way?
