00:00Have you noticed there are fewer hazelnuts in these biscotti?
00:06Well, I'm not crazy.
00:08And yet they've gone up 25 cents.
00:11Fewer nuts, more money.
00:13Something I've been aspiring to my entire professional life.
00:21Whoa!
00:23God!
00:24That is the last time I jog in these shorts.
00:26My thighs are chaving like a couple of hams wrapped in Velcro.
00:34Non-fat mocha, please.
00:42What?
00:43As flattered as we are that you've chosen our company over, oh, say, a shower.
00:50Perhaps you'd like to go to the ladies' room to freshen up a bit?
00:54Hey.
00:54I try to keep in shape.
00:57I haven't seen either one of you two run an eight-minute mile.
01:00Stand up wind of us and you might.
01:06Oh, by the way now, my benefit for the Seattle Theater Ensemble is tonight, and I haven't received your check yet.
01:13No, that's because I'm still not sure if I'm coming.
01:15Whom should I expect to meet there?
01:17Professional people around our age.
01:21Mm-hmm.
01:22Certain social standing.
01:24You.
01:24Civic-minded.
01:26Interested in the arts.
01:27Oh, for God's sake, how many women?
01:28Well, why did you say so?
01:31Well, I thought my rutting monkey body language would have tipped you off.
01:37Well, judging from my RSVP list, there should be quite a few available women.
01:41Well, in that case, I'll be there.
01:44Here's my money.
01:45That'll be worth my while.
01:48Oh, look.
01:48Here comes Sherry and Dad.
01:50Duck.
01:51No, no, no, no, no.
01:51It's all right.
01:52I invited them.
01:53Well, Sherry's not going to be there at your benefit tonight, is she?
01:56I can stop that check.
01:57You're just relaxed and honest.
02:00Come up with rather an ingenious plan to occupy their evening.
02:03I bought them tickets to an event that's right up their alley.
02:07God, I was so mortified just buying the tickets.
02:09I paid cash, so they couldn't trace it back to me.
02:14Sherry, Dad.
02:15Excuse me, people.
02:16Did somebody leave some tickets back here?
02:19Oh, good Lord.
02:19Yeah.
02:19Something called Nashville on Ice?
02:22Yes, right here.
02:23The all-skating country jamboree?
02:25Well, don't look so smug.
02:28You try skating and blowing into a jug while your heart's breaking.
02:33I can't believe you scored tickets to that.
02:37You are well-connected in this town.
02:40Yes, actually, these are a gift for you and Dad.
02:43Oh, I hope you're free this evening.
02:46Well, we are now.
02:47Wow, Frasier, thanks.
02:49Look at this rink side.
02:51Charles, what's that on your cheek?
02:55Oh, what?
02:57My lips!
03:04Oh, look at the time.
03:06I have to go.
03:07Oh, it seems like every time I see you, you're just leaving.
03:11Yes, and I'd love to stay, but I have my therapy group meeting, and last time I was late, the
03:17compulsive gamblers were betting the passive-aggressives that they couldn't make the overeaters cry.
03:24Well, if you want to wait here, I'll get us a couple of coffees.
03:27Oh.
03:27You know how I like it.
03:28Hot and sweet.
03:29Yeah, but how do you like your coffee?
03:31Oh!
03:34Is he always that funny?
03:37Oh, yes.
03:40Oh.
03:42It's a damn soap dispenser.
03:45I just gave it a good pump and splat.
03:47Oh, I'm sorry.
03:49Bras Doya, my producer, you haven't met Dad in a Maratha Sherry Dempsey.
03:53Oh, hi.
03:55I normally look a lot better than him.
03:57Oh, now, you don't have to be self-conscious around me, hon.
04:01We all have our bad days once we pass 40.
04:06It's nice seeing you.
04:09What is she saying?
04:10Oh, who cares?
04:12At least I can do to string together a few precious moments of silence without her underfoot.
04:17Oh, my God.
04:18The woman's practically moved in with me.
04:21What is she saying?
04:23Boss, take heart.
04:24Now, come on.
04:25Listen.
04:27It may not look your best today, but, you know, there's a man sitting right over there.
04:31Can't keep his eyes open.
04:33Oh, where?
04:34The rest of the garden.
04:36Oh, my God.
04:42That's John Coughlin from my high school.
04:45Oh, dear God.
04:46Please don't let him recognize me.
04:48I swear I'll never leave the house unbeautiful again.
04:52Raj?
04:52Thanks for listening.
04:56Raj Doyle?
04:57It's me.
04:58John Coughlin.
05:01Hi, John.
05:02Look at you.
05:04Look at you.
05:06I hardly recognized you with that mustache.
05:10Oh, Frazier.
05:12I'm so sorry.
05:13This is John Coughlin, Frazier Crane.
05:17Hello.
05:17So, did you just move to Seattle?
05:19No, I've been here for a week on business.
05:22Now it's back to Racine.
05:23Remember Marcy?
05:24Yeah.
05:24She's getting married on Saturday.
05:26No kidding.
05:28Well, I'm late for a meeting, but it was great running into you.
05:31I can't wait to tell the whole gang I saw you.
05:33You don't have to do that.
05:36Oh, Frazier.
05:38That guy was the biggest gossip in my hometown.
05:41You saw me with my hair all sweaty, my sweatshirt full of soap.
05:45Oh, God.
05:46What could be worse?
05:47Well, here's a hand.
05:50Caught milk?
05:53Oh, my God.
05:55You know, I'm terribly nervous hosting these things, but it seems to be going rather well.
06:09Not for me.
06:10I haven't made inroads with a single woman here.
06:15Oh, oh.
06:18What are you doing?
06:19You look nauseous.
06:21That woman is flirting with me.
06:22This is my I'm available face.
06:25Oh, stop it.
06:29My God.
06:30People who think the shrimp are bad.
06:34All right.
06:34Which one?
06:35At nine o'clock, blonde hair, blue dress.
06:38Now ten o'clock.
06:39Eleven o'clock.
06:40Oh, mama high noon, dear.
06:43I'm sorry.
06:44I have to leave early.
06:45I just wanted to let you know what a lovely time I've had.
06:48Well, thank you, dear.
06:49It's good to see you.
06:51Dear Peck, my brother, Dr. Niles Cray.
06:54Enchanted.
06:55Hi.
06:57Are you feeling okay?
07:01Bad shrimp.
07:02Oh.
07:07I so enjoyed our chat about Brecht.
07:10Oh.
07:10I'm just sorry we didn't get to finish it.
07:13Oh, me too.
07:13Um, I never do this, but if you'd like to give me a call sometime, I'd like that.
07:21Oh.
07:21I mean, you don't have to call me, only if you want to, and we can talk about other non-Brecht
07:26things.
07:27Of course.
07:28You see why you never do this.
07:30Well, I'm certainly glad that you did it with me.
07:32Nice meeting you, Miles.
07:44Dr. Crane.
07:45Oh.
07:46Who's that gentleman over there?
07:50Oh, well, that's Matthew Pimmies, one of the theatre's biggest benefactors.
07:53Well, I just caught him back in my bedroom.
07:56Well, I'm sure he just wandered in there by mistake.
07:58He was trying on my shoes.
08:10An interesting piece of information.
08:13Something tells me the theatre's going to get that new sound system.
08:16Excuse me?
08:18On behalf of the Seattle Theatre Ensemble, I would like to thank Dr. Fraser Crane for hosting
08:26tonight's benefit.
08:27Oh, but before we say goodnight, let's try and coax him into saying a few words.
08:33Yeah.
08:33Yeah.
08:36Good night.
08:38Good night.
08:39All right.
08:41Uh.
08:41Alexander Pope once wrote that the theatre aspires to wake the soul by tender strokes of
08:58art, to raise the genius, and to mend the heart.
09:03And I'd like to say that it's my privilege to help ensure the survival of this noble calling.
09:12And, uh, well, thank you all for coming, and I'll see you opening night of Run for
09:18Your Wife!
09:18Wow, that was terrific.
09:30Are you always this eloquent?
09:31Oh, well, hardly.
09:33My muse, alas, is somewhat ephemeral.
09:37Well, it sounds pretty reliable to me.
09:39Oh.
09:39Leslie Wellman, we met earlier.
09:41Leslie, of course, yes.
09:42Well, I have to run, but, um, I hope I'm not being too forward.
09:47I'd love it if you'd give me a call sometime.
09:49Well, I'd be delighted to.
09:52Here's my card.
10:04Miles, was that Natalie Spence I just saw you talking with?
10:07As a matter of fact, it was.
10:08I've been admiring her all evening, so I steeled myself and asked her if she might be free next
10:13week.
10:14Huh?
10:15Well, her lips said no, but her eyes said, read my lips.
10:27I suppose you've come over here to gloat because a woman came on to you.
10:31Oh, no, hardly.
10:32I wouldn't do that sort of thing.
10:34I've come over to gloat because two women came on to me.
10:39Two?
10:40My God, I've never had a night like this in my entire life.
10:43I'm a babe magnet.
10:45I'm catnip.
10:49I think I feel a fur ball coming up.
10:53Tell me, your second conquest wasn't that haughty filly in the white dress, Kimberly Egan?
10:58No, no, no.
10:59Your path is clear.
11:00Oh, what's the point?
11:03I can't take another rejection.
11:06Well, Miles, I'll tell you what.
11:08Seeing as how Cuba has so amply stuck to my equipment this evening, I will try a shot
11:14on your behalf.
11:15Ah, God, you're unbearable.
11:21Ah, excuse me.
11:22Kimberly, good evening.
11:23Fraser, thank you again for tonight.
11:26You really are a wonderful host.
11:28Oh, thank you.
11:29Listen, I don't usually do this sort of thing, but there's a gentleman here tonight who's
11:35well rather taken with you.
11:36He's an eligible doctor.
11:40He's just a bit shy about coming over and expressing those interests to you.
11:46Oh, that is so sweet.
11:49Well, you tell your bashful friend he needn't be so coy.
11:53I'd love to go out with you sometime, Fraser.
12:05Call me tomorrow.
12:07Oh, do you know my brother?
12:08Oh, of course I do.
12:10Nice seeing you again, Miles.
12:12Anyway, Dr. Crane, I've spent months now sending out resumes, pounding the pavement, but nothing.
12:29Well, Doug, it's possible you're simply going through a dry spell.
12:33You know, it happens to all of us.
12:34Months go by with nothing, and completely out of the blue, you get not one, but three offers
12:41without doing anything.
12:43Not just for any jobs either, but desirable ones with ample salaries and fabulous perks.
12:51Be patient.
12:53Finding employment is much like dating.
12:56Opportunities come along when you least expect them.
12:59Thanks, Dr. Crane.
13:02Actually, dating is the one area I don't have any problems in.
13:06Right now, I've got two women interested in me.
13:09Two?
13:10Well, that must make you the envy of most men.
13:17Well, that's all for today, Seattle.
13:18This is Dr. Fraser Crane.
13:20K-A-C-L-7-80.
13:22All right, you've compared dating to unemployment, claustrophobia, and bedwetting.
13:29Is there anything you'd like to tell me?
13:33Ask me if I'm free this weekend.
13:37Well, obviously.
13:38Ross, ask me.
13:39Come on.
13:40Let me remind you.
13:41It is a three-day weekend.
13:46Are you free this weekend?
13:48No, I'm not.
13:48I have a date this evening.
13:50I have a date tomorrow night.
13:52Oh, and let me check my calendar for Sunday.
13:55Oh.
13:55Oh, yes.
13:57Another date.
14:00Yeah, not bad.
14:01Not bad?
14:03Well, there's no better.
14:04I'd say someone was a little bit jealous.
14:06After this weekend, you may have to give up your dating crown.
14:09I once had three dates on a single Saturday
14:12and still had time to defrost my refrigerator and rotate my tires.
14:20I was wondering if you could rotate anything after that.
14:24All right, I concede.
14:25All right, good.
14:27Will you help me with something?
14:28Sure.
14:28Okay, do you think it's weird to send a wedding present
14:31to someone you haven't seen or spoken to in 18 years?
14:35Oh, it's a bit unusual, but it's sweet nonetheless.
14:38Okay, what if the wedding gift happens to be a sterling silver picture frame
14:44and inside that, there happens to be a glamour photo of me?
14:49Well, also, this doesn't have something to do with an old high school
14:52gentleman you ran into yesterday during your holiday from hygiene.
14:57I know it all sounds so silly to you, but you don't understand, Frazier.
15:01I grew up in a tiny town, and I still care what those people think of me.
15:06And John Coughlin will go back there and totally trash me.
15:10Come on, you're a beautiful, intelligent woman.
15:12Um, do you really care what impression do people in your past have about you?
15:17I guess not.
15:20Hello?
15:22What?
15:24No, I'm Peterson, you old horse thief.
15:27Thanks for calling back so soon.
15:29Yeah, well, I'll just, uh, guess who's got three dates this weekend.
15:42Mm, delicious.
15:55Hi, is this Johnny's Steakhouse?
15:59Yeah, I'd like a table for two at eight o'clock.
16:03Sure, no problem.
16:05I'll hold.
16:06What the hell are you doing?
16:12Just making dinner reservations.
16:15Not that.
16:15The voice.
16:16I'm trying my American.
16:19Certainly trying this American.
16:23Yeah.
16:24Anything on the patio?
16:26All right.
16:27Cool.
16:28I'll see you then.
16:29You see, I'm just sick of people making such a fuss about my accent.
16:36I like to be able to blend in on occasion, so I'm learning to speak American.
16:41And who is your tutor?
16:42A drag queen?
16:46You know, it's not very kind of you to mock me.
16:50Especially after I've agreed to clear out your big day.
16:53Oh, yes, all right.
16:54Thank you very much.
16:56I'll see you later.
16:57You see, that's the problem when I speak American.
17:01I don't know what to do with my R's.
17:03Try hauling it out of here.
17:04I'll see you later.
17:27Kimberly, hello.
17:33Hello.
17:34Frasier, it's so nice to see you again.
17:37Oh, well, let me take your face.
17:41Thank you again for hosting the benefit.
17:43Oh, well, thank you again for sharing.
17:45Listen, did we make as much money as we had hoped to?
17:48Well, we haven't tallied all of it, but I'm guessing the evening will exceed our wildest expectations.
17:54My favorite sort of evening.
17:58Oh, I could admire this view for hours.
18:03As could I.
18:08Here we are.
18:10Some wine, perhaps?
18:13All right.
18:17Two possibilities.
18:21So, tell me, how did you become interested in the theater?
18:33Well, actually, I first caught the acting bug back in prep school.
18:36The very first production I ever did was A Midsummer Night's Dream.
18:40Not to toot my own horn, but my bottom received a standing ovation.
18:45I'm not surprised.
18:53And you, how did you get involved?
18:56Well, I work with a lot of charities.
18:58I actually founded one that promotes pet adoptions.
19:01Really?
19:02I'm quite the dog lover.
19:03Oh.
19:04You?
19:05Oh, heavens, yes.
19:07You know, I have a dream of someday owning a big house in the country where I can have
19:13as many dogs as I like.
19:15I just love a man who loves animals.
19:17Is it too much to hope you are also a vegetarian?
19:22I just recently became one.
19:27Oh, hey, Fray, the pharmacy left your ointment with the doorman.
19:31Somebody has a date.
19:38Don't worry, honey.
19:39It's just for prickly heat.
19:43Thank you, Sherry.
19:45Well, Kimberly Egan, this is my father, Martin Crane, and his companion, Sherry Dempsey.
19:50Oh, join us for some peppermint schnapps.
19:52It really settles the tummy.
19:54Yes, as much as I could use that right now, I think I'll just pass.
19:58Oh, hey, sweetie.
19:59Tell my joke you told Anna McGee.
20:02Come on.
20:03When she told her, I did an honest-to-God spit take.
20:06I'm not kidding you.
20:07So much beer gushed down to me, I was like, Mount St. Paulie, girl.
20:12No, tell her.
20:15Actually, you know, I don't think...
20:16Okay, this really horny 80-year-old man goes into a confessional.
20:22You're not Catholic, are you?
20:23Yes, I am.
20:24Oh, then you're really going to love it.
20:25So, anyway, this horny old guy...
20:32You know, Sherry, actually, I think we both heard this joke.
20:36Oh, Marty, I think we're cramping somebody's style.
20:42Oh, hey, before I forget, this is for you.
20:46I couldn't finish my veal, Chuck.
20:49If you want to know a way to this man's heart, that is his favorite dish.
20:58Veal!
20:58Free range.
21:05Hey, well, listen, we're just going to take the dog for a walk.
21:08Eddie!
21:10Eddie!
21:12Oh, you locked him in the back room again, didn't you?
21:18What?
21:19Oh, listen, Jim, he's crying, that poor little thing.
21:24Well, I guess you'll need a lot of extra rooms in that dream house to lock up all those dogs.
21:33Good, we can joke about this.
21:38Kimberly, please, at least call you in a few days.
21:54Go ahead.
22:15Morning, handsome.
22:17Yeah, hi.
22:19Yeah, I wondered when you were getting up.
22:22Hungry?
22:22Well, a little bit.
22:27Hmm, how about some Chinese?
22:30Chinese for breakfast?
22:32Who eats that?
22:33About a billion Chinese people.
22:36All right, I've got the plates and forks.
22:39Look, why don't we do it authentic this time?
22:42Get the chopsticks.
22:43No, I don't want to.
22:44Come on.
22:45Don't feel like it.
22:48Well, look, just try it one time.
22:50It's not hard.
22:51No, it's not a question of hard.
22:53I just don't like using them.
22:55They don't work.
22:56Well, they've been around a lot longer than forks.
22:59Well, our hands have been around a lot longer than that.
23:02Why don't we just eat everything with our fingers?
23:07Boy, somebody is in a mood.
23:10I'm not in a mood.
23:11I'm not in a mood.
23:12You are.
23:13Well, I just don't like you telling me to do things that I really don't want to do.
23:19Well, fine.
23:20I will never mention the word chopsticks again.
23:26So touchy.
23:27Well, thanks for taking what I said so seriously.
23:37Marty!
23:38So, Sherry's there for not more than 30 seconds, and she chases Kimberly right out of the apartment.
23:45Gee, I'm sorry, Dr. Crane.
23:47That woman sure can be difficult.
23:52Well, this action business is getting downright annoying.
23:56Well, anyway, I've been trying to call Kimberly all day to apologize.
23:59What are you doing?
24:01Saying hello to Mr. Hink's insecurity.
24:05You mean there's a hidden camera up there?
24:07Well, don't worry about it.
24:09He says lots of people pulled down their pants and took in their shirts.
24:17Although he did recommend having that rush looked at.
24:19Oh!
24:21Dick!
24:22Oh, fine.
24:25Sherry's still here.
24:26You know, she stays later each morning and more nights each week.
24:29This is not what I had in mind when I moved in here.
24:32God, it's bad enough I have to deal with Eddie and Dad and bear shenanigans.
24:41I can't believe you're getting upset over nothing.
24:44Well, I don't consider it nothing.
24:46I think we should talk about it.
24:48I don't want to talk about it.
24:49To not talk about it is just plain stupid.
24:52Oh, so what?
24:53It sounds like they're arguing.
24:54Well, you're acting stupid.
24:56Could there be trouble in paradise?
24:58Yeah.
24:58This is awkward.
25:00Should we let them know we're here?
25:02No, no.
25:03They might stop.
25:03That's all right.
25:07Did you get back?
25:08Just now.
25:09Well, don't worry.
25:11We were just talking.
25:13We're finished talking.
25:14Maybe you are.
25:17Marty.
25:18Marty.
25:19I think we should talk about it.
25:21Oh, my God.
25:22I've never heard them talk to each other like that before.
25:25I've never heard them talk to each other like that before.
25:26Dare I get my hopes up?
25:28Don't count on it.
25:30Once an argument moves into the bedroom, a woman can always get the man to make up.
25:35I wouldn't be so sure about that.
25:36Oh, come on now.
25:38Our men and women have been having this conversation for centuries.
25:41The woman always says, do we really have to fight?
25:45Well, then the man would say, well, it's your own fault you started it.
25:49Can't we at least talk this out?
25:51Come on.
25:52Sit with me on the bed.
25:53I don't feel like sitting.
25:55Do you have to be so cold?
25:56Well, you made me angry.
25:59You could at least put your arms around me.
26:01Oh, Daphne, I'm a slut.
26:09You all right?
26:10Probably made up already.
26:12Well, at least they'll be in a good mood when they come out.
26:15There's nothing like make-up sex.
26:17Daphne.
26:18Please.
26:19Sherry and my dad do not have sex.
26:21Well, of course they do.
26:22They're probably...
26:22Daphne!
26:23We'll have to sleep at night.
26:26My dad and Sherry do not have sex.
26:31So long, kids.
26:32It was nice knowing you.
26:40Did that actually just happen?
26:43Well, I guess I called that one wrong.
26:49Is everything all right?
26:51Oh, yeah, yeah, fine.
26:53Yeah, that was a long time coming.
26:57Are you okay with this?
26:59Well, yeah.
27:00I mean, I'm not jumping up and down, but, yeah, I think it's better for both of us, yeah.
27:08You sure?
27:09Yeah, yeah.
27:10Sherry and I had a lot of laughs, but, you know, there's a lot of things about her that bugged me,
27:15and Lord knows, and Lord knows I'm sure she was bugged by a lot of things that I did, so no, no, really, this is fine.
27:21It's fine.
27:24Well, he seems to be taking it very well.
27:27Well, maybe I should go see if he feels like talking about it.
27:35Hello?
27:37Oh, yes, hi, Niles.
27:39Well, actually, it's not a very good time right now.
27:41Well, Dad and Sherry just broke up.
27:47He seems to be taking it okay, I guess.
27:50Well, no, I don't think that's appropriate.
27:51Well, no, it's just too soon for us to be celebrating right now.
27:54It's fine.
27:55It's still too soon, Max.
28:04It's still too soon, Max.
28:04Dr. Crane, are you all right?
28:26Devin, shh.
28:28Do you hear that?
28:32What?
28:33The sound of a sherry-free apartment.
28:41I've been basking in it for the last 30 minutes.
28:45My God.
28:47I feel like a seafront village after the Vikings have left.
28:55Niles.
29:01Fraser?
29:02Niles?
29:02I'd offer you a sherry, but I'm fresh out.
29:05Oh!
29:15I can't believe Dad finally came to his senses.
29:18Yes.
29:19Ooh.
29:20Should we attempt to high-five?
29:21Well, no.
29:22I...
29:22No, I...
29:23No, what happened the last time?
29:24Oh, God.
29:25Your watchman caught my hair.
29:27I was just...
29:27What a relief to finally have things back to normal.
29:31Yes.
29:32Hey there, Dr. Crane.
29:34How's tricks?
29:35Ah!
29:36Ah!
29:36Ah!
29:39I'm trying my American accent.
29:41Well, stop it.
29:43I mean, I...
29:44I...
29:44Just that we Americans are very sensitive about our crude speech patterns.
29:49Wow.
29:50I'm sorry.
29:51I didn't mean to offend.
29:52No, no, no, no, no, no.
29:54It's quite all right.
29:55You have a real flair for accents.
29:58Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried a saucy French chambermaid?
30:01Niles.
30:01No.
30:07Fraser's just been telling me how well Dad's taking the break up with Sherry.
30:10Yes.
30:11A little too well, if you ask me.
30:13Daphne, we've had this discussion already.
30:15He's fine.
30:16He's in a lot more pain than he's letting on.
30:19You just don't see it because you like having your apartment back.
30:22Yes, we'll leave the complex analyses to the professionals.
30:25Oh, hi, Niles.
30:27You feel like going to the movies with me and Daphne?
30:29Oh, thanks, but I have plans.
30:32Listen, Dad, I'm sorry to hear about you and Sherry.
30:35Oh, that's all right.
30:36There's nothing to be sorry about.
30:38No, it's kind of fun to go back to my old bachelor days, you know.
30:42Yeah, don't worry about me.
30:44Easy come, easy go.
30:46You want a boilermaker?
30:47No, thanks.
30:48No?
30:48Well, more for me.
30:50Yeah, I should pick a few of those for the movies, you know.
30:54Mr. Crane.
30:55Oh, come on.
30:56I'm only kidding.
30:58No.
30:58You know, it's kind of fun to laugh at things again.
31:01You know, that was the problem with Sherry.
31:03She had no sense of humor.
31:04Just a real stick in the mud, you know.
31:06Well, hey, we'd better get going.
31:09We'll be late.
31:09I'll get in the elevator.
31:16Well, what's your diagnosis now?
31:19It's a clear-cut case of post-Sherry euphoria.
31:22Oh, my cannabis.
31:29Oh, right.
31:30Date number two.
31:31I'll be off as well.
31:32You can fill me in tomorrow.
31:35You'll get a full debriefing.
31:36As hopefully will I.
31:37All right, young Edward.
31:46Learn from the master.
31:50Oh, just follow these time-honored traditions,
31:54and you two might get lucky with that young Pekingese peach you've been eyeing in the park.
31:59Now, for mood, Vivaldi.
32:07And then for lighting,
32:09not so bright as to show the wrinkles,
32:14not so dark as to make her think you're hiding anything.
32:16And then finally,
32:19oops,
32:19leaving nothing to chance,
32:22we will say,
32:231992,
32:25the nectar of the gods.
32:32Dear God,
32:33I'd like to teach a course.
32:46Adair,
32:47come in.
32:49May I take your coat?
32:50Oh, thank you.
32:52It's so nice of you to have me over.
32:55Oh.
32:55I hope you didn't go to any trouble.
32:57Oh, nothing special.
32:59I've got to tell you,
33:00this is all so strange.
33:01I mean, one night I'm at Dr. Frasier Crane's house for a benefit,
33:07and two days later I'm back at his house for a date.
33:10Well, there's one thing I've learned,
33:11and it's that life is nothing without spontaneity.
33:19Come have a look at the city.
33:23Oh, what a lovely view.
33:27I didn't fully appreciate it the other night.
33:29My sentiments exactly.
33:35Here.
33:37Some wine.
33:40Here we are.
33:45Two
33:45possibilities.
33:51I wonder if I can see my apartment from here.
33:55Well, if you can, don't tell me.
33:57I have a telescope, and I'm not to be trusted.
34:03Funny, charming.
34:04Next I'm going to find out you're a great cook.
34:06Well, don't get your hopes up.
34:08Duck confit.
34:13Oh, good Lord.
34:14Excuse me for just a moment.
34:15Hello, Frasier.
34:21Jenny, well, my father's not here right now.
34:23I'll tell him you've stopped by.
34:24Well, wait, wait, wait.
34:25I just came by to pick something up.
34:27Well, why don't you tell me what it is?
34:28I'll have it messengered over tomorrow.
34:30It's my banjo.
34:33Can't I have it?
34:34Well, all right, all right.
34:38Listen, I'm on a date here, so I'll just try to make it quick.
34:43Hi, how are you?
34:44She's fine.
34:45She's fine.
34:45We're fine.
34:46All right, just you'll know where you're going.
34:48It's fine.
34:50Father's ex-girlfriend.
34:52Well, where were we?
34:53Oh, I was about to say that this duck is superb.
34:56Oh, thank you very much.
34:57And the way the wine complements it and the music, I'm guessing you entertain often.
35:05Well, no, actually, I'm really rather lonely.
35:10Tell you what, take my telescope home.
35:12You can see for yourself.
35:16Cut the banjo.
35:18Oh, well, yes, okay, bye-bye.
35:20Bye, Frasier.
35:22Oh, it was nice seeing you again.
35:24I'm sorry, have we met?
35:26Well, yes, on your date last night.
35:28Kimberly, isn't it?
35:30No.
35:31Well, you've got what you came for.
35:33Off you go.
35:35Well, I'm sorry, hon, but she does look just like the other girl.
35:39Inside, you were playing the same make-out with me.
35:42Right, off you go.
35:48Oh, well, some more wine.
35:52Two dates and two nights isn't bad for someone who's lonely.
35:55Well, you can hardly call what happened last night a date.
35:58The woman that organized the benefit came by.
36:00She just dropped in to say thank you.
36:04Wait a minute.
36:04You mean Kimberly Egan?
36:06She broke up my first marriage.
36:09Well, I hardly know the woman.
36:11I mean, she spent all of ten minutes here.
36:13Well, I'm not going through this again.
36:16Oh, dear, listen, listen.
36:18This is all in your mind.
36:20I mean, we spent one night together.
36:22She means nothing to me.
36:24Gee, where have I heard that before?
36:42Go ahead.
36:43So, for the second time in two nights,
36:58she already managed to chase away another date.
37:01In fact, she's a scarecrow in the cornfield of my life.
37:04I don't know how many more of your disastrous love stories I can hear.
37:10I'll say when.
37:13Hello.
37:15You look like an almost presentable version of someone who works with my brother.
37:19Bite me.
37:24Oh, it is you.
37:26You haven't seen my high school friend John around here, have you?
37:30Well, no, we haven't, Roz.
37:32I suppose you finally tracked him down?
37:34Yeah.
37:34I'm meeting him here for coffee.
37:36I'm going to tell him I'm on my way to a chic cocktail party.
37:40This is the Roz I want him to talk about when he goes to that wedding this weekend.
37:45The vain, neurotic, lying, Roz?
37:50Oh, are you Roz?
37:51Yeah.
37:52Um, there was a call for you earlier from a John Coughlin.
37:55He said he's sorry, but he can't meet you.
37:57I had to take an earlier flight.
37:59Oh, great.
38:01Roz Doyle, right?
38:02Yeah.
38:04Sorry, you don't look anything like you described.
38:09All right, before I do anything crazy like go to the airport, fly to Wisconsin, and crash
38:14a wedding, did I really look that bad the other day?
38:18Hi, guys.
38:19Oh, hi, Sherry.
38:21Gee, you look familiar.
38:23Did I meet your older sister in here the other day?
38:27She must be jealous of you.
38:32Cassie!
38:37Um, mind if I join you?
38:40Uh, well, of course not.
38:42Oh, I was hoping I'd catch you here.
38:47Um, well, I've been thinking about what happened yesterday between your dad and me, and I just
38:55can't figure it out.
38:56One minute we were having a stupid argument about chopsticks, and the next minute we were
39:03broken up.
39:05Well, I hate to put you on the spot like this, but did he say anything to you?
39:11Well, not really, uh, you know how closed-mouthed dad is, it's, uh, well, he did say that the
39:20breakup was a long time coming.
39:23Oh, now I really am confused.
39:26I mean, I thought everything was going fine.
39:29Well, better than fine.
39:30Well, the other night, um, we both said I love you for the first time.
39:38You did?
39:40Yes.
39:42Oh, it's just that in the past he's been rather reserved about expressing himself that
39:48way.
39:48Oh.
39:48Well, I guess he sort of hesitated before he said it, but, I mean, a lot of guys do
39:55that when you spring it on him for the first time.
39:58Yes, well, I can certainly understand why you're confused with him.
40:01Well, if you'd like, I could speak to him on your behalf.
40:06Al, oh, I'm sorry, is that your shit?
40:09Oh, no, no, thanks, Frasier.
40:12I don't want to put you in the middle of this.
40:16I'm just frustrated.
40:19Listen, um, thanks for listening.
40:21No problem.
40:22Anytime.
40:23You know, I, I really thought I hit the jackpot with Marty.
40:30It isn't easy finding someone you think the world of.
40:35Oh, I know, you go tomcatting around with a different girl every night, but you can't
40:41find happiness that way.
40:44I haven't so far.
40:48I didn't kick you that hard.
40:59Well, you didn't have to kick me at all.
41:01Well, were you seriously considering playing couples therapist to dad and that woman after
41:05we just got rid of her?
41:06God, I have no intention of repairing the rift.
41:09God.
41:10Last night, for the first time, months, I wasn't jolted awake at 2 a.m. by her rousing rendition
41:16of Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
41:17It seems a little odd that dad chose to break up with Sherry just after he told her that
41:26he loved her.
41:27As I recall, she said he hesitantly said it back to her.
41:32To me, that's a clear picture of a man who didn't share her feelings.
41:34Yes, well, I think he does share her feelings.
41:37Just panicked out of fear.
41:40Fear of what?
41:40Well, lots of things.
41:42Change, commitment.
41:44Becoming vulnerable to somebody again.
41:49Just afraid he broke up with her for all the wrong reasons.
41:52Well, if you'd like a list of the right reasons, it's available on request.
41:57The least I can do is have a talk with him.
41:59No.
42:00The least you can do is nothing.
42:02Dad hasn't asked for our help.
42:04You just let nature take its course.
42:05It's like one of those wildlife films with the lion chasing down the antelope.
42:10You don't ask why the photographer doesn't interfere.
42:13You just accept it.
42:15As a general rule, Niles, the photographer is not related to the antelope.
42:21Obviously, you and I don't see either.
42:23I'll send you.
42:24Well, where are you going?
42:26I have a date in 45 minutes and a bleeding antelope sitting in a barker lounge or in my apartment.
42:35I suppose that sounded strange to you.
42:37I'd be happy to explain it.
42:39Are you, by any chance, free at the end of your shift?
42:43Sorry.
42:45I've still got it.
42:46Not so fast, Mr. Hicks.
43:12Don't curse me, don't I fool her.
43:36You up there?
43:38Oh, Dr. Green.
43:39Enjoy your evening.
43:45Yes, you too.
43:47He's been under a lot of stress lately.
43:57Oh, Dad, listen, I'm glad you're home.
43:59We've got to talk.
44:00No good conversation ever started that way.
44:02We have to talk about you and Sherry.
44:04Why?
44:05Look, I'm fine with it.
44:07Come on, now, let it go.
44:08Dad.
44:09Listen, I spoke with Sherry today.
44:11You did what?
44:12What for?
44:13Well, she came to see me.
44:15And she was a bit confused about what happened the other day.
44:19Well, from her story, I think what you're contending with here is a classic case of panic induced by fear of commitment.
44:30Oh, you hear that?
44:30Oh, you hear that, Eddie?
44:31That's what buys your dog food.
44:32Yes, well.
44:34She also told me about a little incident that took place the other evening, where she expressed her feelings for you, and you hesitantly reciprocated.
44:41Oh, gee, she told you about that look.
44:44To cut it short, she told me how she felt about me.
44:47I said it back.
44:48But I only said it because I felt I had to.
44:51That's not really what I feel.
44:53So then destroy it.
44:54All right, now, listen.
44:56There's my date.
44:56Listen, I'm sorry for budding into your life, but I happen to be concerned about you.
45:01I may find this hard to believe, but your welfare happens to be very important to me.
45:06All right.
45:06All right.
45:06All right.
45:06Oh, hi, Fred.
45:16Jerry.
45:22Hi, Morton.
45:24Hey.
45:25You left your Sinatra tape in my car.
45:28Oh, thanks.
45:29I've been looking for that.
45:32Well, there you go.
45:37Bye.
45:39So long.
45:42I saw that, Ted.
45:43I saw the way you looked at her.
45:45You can't convince me that you don't feel the same way about her she feels about you.
45:48Look, I appreciate what you're doing, Frasier.
45:50I really do.
45:51But stop.
45:52All right.
45:53Fine.
45:53It's your life.
45:54I wouldn't interfere.
45:57Get away.
45:59If you can just stay for a few minutes, I think I can straighten this whole thing out.
46:02Oh, it sure didn't look like you wanted you to.
46:04Yes, but it's just being its own stubborn, ornery self.
46:07I do miss that.
46:08All right.
46:09Listen, I'll go talk to him.
46:10You stay here.
46:14Frasier?
46:14Oh, Leslie.
46:15Sorry.
46:16I'm a little early.
46:18Way to go, Frasier.
46:19Oh, dear God.
46:21Sherry.
46:22This is Leslie.
46:23Leslie, Sherry.
46:23Leslie, come on in.
46:24Hi.
46:27Frasier, could I use the little girls' room?
46:29No.
46:30Oh, no need to ask.
46:31Oh, come on in.
46:32May I take your coat?
46:35Of course.
46:36Yes, here we are.
46:38Yes, well, you see, Sherry is my father's lady friend, and they're going through a bit
46:42of a rough patch.
46:44If you can excuse me for just a moment, I have to talk with you for just a minute.
46:47Oh, no, take your time.
46:48I can always chat with Sherry.
46:49No, no.
46:51You miss this fabulous sunset.
46:54Isn't that sunset?
46:55Wow.
46:57It's even more stunning than I remember.
47:00Yes, it is.
47:03Excuse me for a minute.
47:05Oh, no, wait.
47:06Some wine.
47:09Here we are.
47:11Two possibilities.
47:14Oh, Dad.
47:20Oh, don't worry.
47:21I won't get in the way.
47:22I'm just going to go grab a beer.
47:24Well, there's no trouble at all, Dad.
47:32Dad, you and Sherry.
47:33Oh, jeez.
47:34I don't believe this.
47:35Frasier, it's over.
47:37She's gone.
47:38She's out of my life.
47:39What the hell's she doing here?
47:43Look, she came in to borrow the powder room.
47:45I'll be right back.
47:47How's everything out here?
47:49Fine.
47:49How's everything in there?
47:51Fine, fine.
47:52I think I just cannot need a few more minutes.
47:55Will you stay with the powder room?
47:56Oh, sure.
47:57It's all yours.
47:59Oh, Frasier, take all the time you need.
48:01Yes, all right.
48:02Thanks.
48:02I'll entertain your friend.
48:04Oh, what?
48:04And miss this fabulous sunset.
48:09Oh, yeah.
48:10Look at that.
48:11Yes.
48:12I forgot how beautiful it is.
48:14That's what it is.
48:16Oh, oh, right.
48:20Too possible.
48:21What the hell am I doing?
48:22Here.
48:25All right, just enjoy yourself.
48:27Two minutes, no more.
48:29Well, not you, Leslie.
48:31Come on.
48:34Look, I don't know what you think you're doing,
48:36but you go right back out there and get rid of her.
48:37Dad, I'm not trying to torture you.
48:39Well, then you're doing a bad job.
48:41All right, all right.
48:41Listen, I'm just a little bit confused about something.
48:44Maybe you can help me understand it.
48:46You say that you don't have any feelings for this woman.
48:49All right, well, fine.
48:50Why is it that in the last three months
48:52you've been happier than you've ever been since Mom died?
48:54Wait, you just leave your mother out of this.
48:57I didn't mean to bring her into it.
48:58That's not what I'm talking about.
49:00Dad?
49:01Is that what this is about, Mom?
49:03No.
49:04All right.
49:05Listen, I'm a psychiatrist.
49:06Well, I don't need a psychiatrist,
49:07and I don't need your help.
49:08Dad, that is just classic defense.
49:11Would you just drop it?
49:12No, I won't drop it.
49:13I said drop it.
49:14This is not what you're going to be about.
49:15Excuse me.
49:20Butterfingers.
49:21Moment, Tito.
49:24Well, listen, Dad.
49:25I do not mean to upset you.
49:30I have a feeling that what you're going through here
49:32is feelings of guilt.
49:34It's probably natural to feel that way.
49:36My God.
49:37I understand exactly what you're going through.
49:39No, you don't.
49:39No, you don't.
49:40You don't understand at all.
49:44And you've been married for 35 years,
49:46and you never thought there'd be anybody else.
49:52And one day, you hear yourself say,
49:54I love you, to another woman.
49:56Well, maybe then you'll understand
50:00what I'm going through.
50:07Dan, there was a time back
50:09when my first marriage was breaking up.
50:11I was talking to Mom,
50:12and she said to me,
50:14Frasier, you've got to promise me
50:15you're not going to give up.
50:16And I said, Mom, please,
50:17the last thing I want to hear
50:18is a bunch of cliches
50:19about how we're all put on this earth
50:20to love one another,
50:22and how it's certainly possible
50:23for the human heart
50:24to love more than one person.
50:27I said, all right, Mom,
50:28give me one good reason
50:29for me to ever let myself
50:31fall in love again.
50:33She said, because I said so,
50:35and I'm your mother.
50:42Yeah, it sure doesn't help
50:43reminding me what a great lady she was.
50:46Well, does it help to remind you
50:49that Sherry's a pretty great lady, too?
50:50Oh, God, Dad, she makes you happy.
50:57But I was not giving anything
50:58to have what you have.
51:01Well, not what you have,
51:02but what you have.
51:08Yeah, she's a pretty great lady,
51:10isn't she?
51:12I don't know.
51:13She'd probably be better off
51:15with some guy who isn't going
51:17through all this stuff.
51:19Well, don't you let her decide that?
51:21I...
51:23I...
51:24I...
51:25I...
51:27I...
51:28Hi.
51:48Hi.
51:58Well, it looks like those two could use a little privacy.
52:03Do you mind if I take you to the restaurant a little earlier?
52:06I think that's a good idea.
52:08Okay.
52:08We can finish up the wine later.
52:10I mean, well, not that I mean we're going to be coming back here.
52:14Not that I'm averse to that, of course.
52:16I mean, if you're in the mood for a nightcap.
52:21Nightcap.
52:24Well, it looks like your dad and his girlfriend are magic things up.
52:28Yes.
52:29Gee, I can't thank you enough for being tolerant about the time delay.
52:34Oh, no problem.
52:35Look, you'd be surprised.
52:37I mean, lately women just fly into rages of intolerance.
52:41Just the slightest provocation.
52:44Shall we?
52:45Wait, Leslie, before you go, I want to say something.
52:48Oh, good Lord, step lightly.
52:52Listen, you are a lucky girl to be with someone as sweet as Frasier.
52:58He just did a real nice thing for his dad and me.
53:02Thank you, Sherry.
53:04Off we go.
53:06We're right down with you.
53:08We're going down the street and getting a little Chinese.
53:11Well, why don't we give you a lift?
53:12No.
53:12Well, don't you think the walk would do them some good?
53:15Oh, no, I think it's starting to rain.
53:18Come on, you're right with us.
53:19Oh, you are such a doll.
53:23So, Leslie, what do you do?
53:24Oh, I'm a dermatologist.
53:26Good news, Frasier.
53:28If you get lucky tonight, she might just look at that rash of yours.
53:31Yes.
53:33Oh, that reminds me of a great joke.
53:37Just hold the elevator for me, will you?
53:40Eddie?
53:41Eddie?
53:47Well, you could at least act surprised, you know.
53:50Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling
54:05Tossed salads and scrambled eggs
54:09Oh, my
54:10And maybe I seem a bit confused
54:14Yeah, maybe
54:15But I got you pranked
54:17Ha, ha, ha, ha
54:19But I don't know what to do
54:22With those tossed salads and scrambled eggs
54:26They're calling again
54:30Scrambled eggs all over my face
54:34What is it, boy, to do?
54:40Thank you!
54:41Thank you!
