Act One.
Scene One - Radio Station.
Frasier is nearing the end of his show when he gets another caller.
Frasier: Roz, who's our last caller?
Roz: On line two we have Marylin. She's feeling a little home
sick.
Frasier: Go ahead Marylin.
Marylin: [v.o:] Well, I like living in Seattle but, I don't know, I
grew up in this little town in Wisconsin and I really miss
that life.
Frasier: Well, you're not the only one. My producer, Roz, has
regailed me with many stories of the great dairy state.
Marylin: [v.o:] You're from Wisconsin, Roz. What part?
Roz: Blumer.
Marylin: [v.o:] [surprised] Oh my God, I'm from Monomeney.
Roz: No way. [surprised] You're from Monomeney? My cousins are
from Monomeney, do you the Rayburns?
By this time Frasier is getting a bit irritated however he plays
along.
Marylin: [v.o:] Billy Rayburn is your cousin? I used to work with him
at Bell's frozen custard!
Frasier: [bored:] Of course she did.
Roz: Do you remember that guy that used the run the store. With
all the moles?
Marylin: [v.o:] [with Roz] Mr. Sneedy.
Frasier: Ladies, as fascinating as this is, I'm afraid we're out of
time.
Marylin: [v.o:] [with Roz:] Oh!
Roz: That's okay Marylin, you can call back tomorrow.
Frasier: Make sure you all tune in tomorrow for part 2 in of series,
"Women of the cheese belt". Goodbye for now and good mental
health.
As Frasier signs off air Roz enters his booth with some notes.
Roz: These messages came for you earlier, your wines are ready.
Frasier: Oh excellent, I'm hosting a tasting tonight for the wine
club Niles and I belong to. I'm hoping they name me the
Maitre d'Chai. It's a long standing dream of mine to wear
that silver cup around my neck.
Roz: You know, back in Wisconsin if a guy wore a cup around his
neck it meant he'd ticked off the gym teacher.
Frasier: Fine! Make sport, but this does happen to be important to
me.
Roz: Since when? You used to say that club was nothing but a
bunch of arrogant cork sniffing snobs.
Frasier: Well that was before I got in.
Roz: Well, when I'm handing out Balogne sandwiches this weekend
at the homeless shelter it will do me heart good to know
that a bunch of wealthy men are swishing two hundred dollar
bottles of wine and spitting it into silver buckets!
Frasier: [upset:] It's not like we don't recycle the bottles.
"Sip, Swish, Spit"
Scene Two - Frasier's Apartment.
That evening Niles and Frasier are practising for their wine tasting
evening. Frasier is wearing his blindfold as he smells and sips a
wine. Niles holds a silver bucket. Frasier eventually spits it out
however he misses and Niles is forced to weep it up with his tissue.
Frasier: Big, full bodied, nicely baked. Essence of truffles, long
finish - Chambertan 76'.
Niles: Bravo Frasier. If only you aim were as accurate.
Daphne: [who is cleaning up:] How is it those same tastebuds can't
tell the differece between my pot roast and my flank steak?
Frasier: Well, considering you learnt to cook in England it's a
wonder I can't tell your flank steak from a braised tennis
ball.
Niles: Now, now, let's move on to the number seven.
Frasier: [smells another glass:] Ah, touch of oak. Hint of current.
Whisper of....
Martin enters with Eddie on a leash however Frasier carries on.
Frasier: [smelling:] ...what is that? what is that? Oh yes, wet dog!
[takes blindfold off and looks at Martin]
Martin: You guys still playing that stupid game?
Frasier: Dad, wine tasting is not a stupid game - it's a highly
refined skill.
Martin: Yeah, I just saw a couple of guys on the corner practising
out of paper bags.
Niles: We're hardly wine-os. Some very distinguished people belong
to our club: The mayor, the commissioner of public saftey,
the chief of surgery at St. Lukes.
Daphne: Oh, just the people I want walking around all liquored up.
Could you find room for a school bus driver and a couple of
air traffic controllers?
Frasier: Well we would if they had impeccable taste. Which reminds me
dad, I have a favour to beg. Would you mind if I moved your
chair into your room until after the tasting?
Martin: Forget it, you might as well ask me to stay in my room.
Niles: Which takes care of the second favour.
Martin: Oh all right move it. At least I don't have to spend the
night watching your society pals getting tanked.
Frasier goes to pick it up.
Frasier: Okay, Niles, grab an end.
Niles: [laughs] Oh you're serious. You know I don't lift.
Frasier: Yes, with that stick where it is I'm suprised you can bend.
Start hoisting, come on.
Niles does this and the two, with much effort and much ad-libbing,
manage to carry it upstage. Of course Frasier is holding his end up
higher than Niles'. Frasier remarks it weighs a ton. It is not long
before Niles wants to put it down. However, Frasier tells him not
too. Yet after much quarrelling he drops it right on the upstage
flooring.
Frasier: Look what you've done?
Martin: [worried:] You better be talking about the floor.
Frasier: Oh, of course I'm talking about the floor..
Martin: Oh for Pete's sake it's just a little scratch. Get me a
yellow magic marker. I'll color it in, no one'll know the
difference.
Frasier: Dad, you have no idea how critical these people can be: they
love finding fault.
Daphne: We could put a rug over it.
Frasier: A rug? Where a rug doesn't belong? Why don't you just
through down a twister mat. Have a few rounds between
vintages!
Niles: Steady Frasier, there's still hope. I'll bring my contractor
by in the morning. The man's a genius.
Martin: You know it's time you guys learned, everything dosn't have
to be perfect.
Frasier: Yes, it's that kind of advice that leads to shag carpetting!
Frasier holds his head in his hands as we fade out.
Scene Three - Frasier's Apartment.
The next morning Frasier and Martin are at the table reading a paper.
They have both just got up. Daphne enters from her bedroom in a robe.
Frasier: Ah, good morning Daphne - extra pancakes for me this
morning! I'm famished!
Daphne: Yes, well you should have thought about that last night
before you started making cracks about English cooking. I
have hung up my spatchela. [exits to kitchen]
Martin: Well, you moved my chair, you cut off my pankcake supply,
why don't you just back out on Eddie on your way to work and
make it a hat trick. [doorbell sounds]
Frasier: And a hat trick would be?
Martin: It's in hockey where one player...
Frasier: Enough said, thank you.
Frasier goes to answer the door. Niles is standing there with a
seemingly strong and good looking man.
Niles: Good morning, Frasier. I'm delivering one miracle worker as
promised. Joe DeCarlo, Frasier Crane.
Frasier: Pleasure.
Niles: And my father, Martin Crane.
Martin: Hi Joe.
Joe: Where's the scratch?
Martin: Oh, you mean you didn't see it? We were going to put some
orange cones around it so nobody would fall in it!
Frasier and Niles take Joe upstage. He feels the scratch.
Frasier: It's right here.
Joe: I can get rid of that.
Frasier: It has to be done by five. My guests arrive at seven, do it
has to be a firm five. Not a five fifteen or a five thirty.
Joe: I'll be done by noon.
Frasier: Splendid.
Niles: I told you he was good. We're talking about a man who has
satisfied Maris. Something that's still regrettably on my
to-do list!
Daphne: Coffee's ready. [enters with coffee, to Frasier:] Of course,
I'm sure it'll taste like my old bath water to you. You
know, how it gets all grey and scummy around the edges with
little flecks of... [notices Joe:] oh hello.
Joe: Hi.
Daphne: [notices him properly. saucily:] Hello.
Daphne and Joe stare each other with longing as Niles tries to stop
it.
Niles: I'd love some coffee Daphne. [pause] Hmmmm, Daphne?
Martin: Er, Daph' this is Joe DeCarlo. Joe, this is Daphne - she
helps me out around here.
Joe: Smells great. Columbian?
Daphne: [laughs:] No, English. [realises:] The coffee - Costa Rican.
Would you like a cup?
Joe: Thanks.
Daphne: I'll be right back. [whispers to Martin:] He's adorable,
talk me up.
Martin: A plate of pancakes.
Daphne: Deal. [exits to kitchen]
Martin: You know, Joe. Daphne's a great gal. You know she doesn't
always go round in that ratty old bathrobe. She cleans up
real cute.
Joe: You don't have to convince me.
Niles: You know, I think dad's right - you don't need to fix that
scratch it adds character. [takes him aside:] Come Joe.
Frasier: Niles, forget it!
Daphne: [enters from kitchen:] Honeybun?
Joe: [as if it was a pet name:] Yes.
Daphne: [laughs] He-he, I meant would you like one of these with
your coffee. [holds up a honeybun]
Joe: Oh, I'd love one.
Daphne: Anything.
Joe: No. [then:] Sugar?
Daphne: [as if it was a pet name:] Yes.
Joe: I meant in the coffee.
Daphne laughs then exits back to the kitchen.
Niles: You know, Maris is quite keen in gutting my library to make
more space for her hats. Why don't you come home with me and
you can send one of your men over to do this little job.
Bruce would be good. The large sweaty gentlemen with the
chilli dogs on his breath.
Frasier: Niles, Joe is here already and we do have a deadline.
Niles: But, don't you think it would be prudent...
Frasier: Niles, it's settled.
Joe: That's great, because I'm kinda anxious to get at her. [goes
upstage]
Niles: [angry:] I'll just bet he is, the testosterone is just
dripping...
Frasier: Niles, Niles, he's talking about the scratch.
Niles: [angry still:] I knew that! Only I know that! I mean, watch
him!
Niles exits out the front door as we fade out.
Scene Four - Elevator In Frasier's Building.
Later that day Frasier is going up in the elevator with two workmen.
He is curious and so begans to chat.
Frasier: Someone remodelling?
Electrician: No, bad wireing in one of the condos.
Frasier: Ah, well I hope you won't be here this evening. I'm
entertaining some very important guests and you know how
sounds travels in this building.
Painter: Ah, can't make any promises. We're here as long as this
poor sap is willing to pay us. [laughs]
Scene Five - Hallway Outside Frasier's Apartment.
They both get off on the same floor. Frasier goes to put his key in
the lock and notices the electrician and painter are standing behind
him ready to enter his apartment.
Scene Six - Frasier's Apartment.
Frasier enters his apartment to find sawing and drilling around his
fireplace. There are a few cloth sheets on the floor and a hole in
the wall.
Frasier: What is happening?
Joe: Hold on guys. [they all stop:] Er, sorry about this Dr.
Crane but I plugged in the sander to start on the floor, you
blew a circit.
Frasier: So, naturally you're sawing a hole into my wall.
Joe: The circit blew - it started a fire. You've got some real
bad wiring in here.
Frasier: But how long? [they start again]
Joe: A couple of hours.
Fraiser: A couple is vague, that would mean the big hand would be on
the twelve and the little hand would be...
Joe: On the four.
Frasier: On the four? Oh, the four is okay, fine.
Martin: You know the fire, Eddie smelled it first. [exits to room]
Frasier: Oh, well he's a regular canary in a coal mine isn't he!
Niles: [enters from front door with a case:] My God, what's going
on?
Frasier: Don't ask Niles. [notices case:] Oh, I see you've got the
Romani Containe.
Niles: Yes but unfortunately they only had the one bottle.
Frasier: That's funny, the importer told me he had two.
Niles: Really? [nervous:] How strange.
Frasier: You know, if I didn't know you better I would swear you had
squirreled one away for yourself. But then we both know that
you must be telling the truth because you're such a slave to
your ethics that even the slightest transgression would
cause your nose to bleed.
Niles: Which it isn't! [sniffs up]
Frasier: You just sniffed.
Niles: I didn't sniff, it was a snort of contempt. [sniffs again]
Frasier: A snort is out, that was in.
Niles: [takes a tissue and holds it to his nose:] Oh, alright - the
other bottle's in the car in my bowling bag.
Frasier: Thank you. [curious:] You have a bowling bag?
Niles: Yes. Maris and I have taken to giving each other gag gifts.
I gave her a cook book.
Daphne enters from the kitchen with a drink and rushes over to Joe.
Daphne: Oh, you-hoo. I noticed how your shirt was [knees turning to
jelly:] clinging to you back and... I thought a nice cup of
ice tea might hit the spot.
Joe: Thanks Daph'.
Joe takes the drink from him. At that moment they both shudder.
Daphne laughs.
Daphne: Ho-ho, I got a spark.
Joe: Me too.
Niles: [jealous:] That's just static electricity from the carpet -
it can happen to anyone. I'll show you.
Niles then proceeds to shuffle along the carpet and poke Frasier. He
does many times as each time he fails. Frasier gets irritable of the
constant poking until after a while:
Frasier: [shouting:] Stop poking me!
Daphne: [picking up bags:] Should I put these little fingery foods
for tonight in the fridge?
Frasier: Oh, yes please - the Brie is sweating up a storm.
Joe: Let me help you with those.
Niles: No, Daphne let me help you.
Daphne picks them up and begins to hand a drink to Bruce. However,
Niles takes the drink and gives it to Bruce. He feels a spark.
Niles: Spark! Spark!
Niles follows Daphne into the kitchen as Frasier announces to his
workmen.
Frasier: I will be back after work at five thirty - I hope I have
your word that my apartment will be perfect for then.
Joe: Okay.
Frasier: Alright, think think before you answer. This is not like
marriage vows, or a promise to a dying parent. This really
really counts.
Joe: You have my word.
Frasier: Thank you.
Bruce: God, I'm sweating like a pig. I've got to air myself out.
[to Frasier:] Hey, hold the elevator will ya?
Frasier: I'm sorry, I need this nose tonight, thank you.
Frasier exits out the front door. Meanwhile, Niles and Daphne are
busy in the kitchen putting the foods away.
Niles: You don't have to keep feeding these men. Actually, Maris
finds they work faster if you keep them hungry.
Daphne: He-he, I don't mind. Of course I probably don't cook as well
as their wives or girlfriends. That is if they all have
girlfriends. I'm sure Joe's probably mentioned some girl to
you.
Niles: [honestly:] No.
Daphne: Really?
Niles: [worried:] That is... not any one girl. Not old "love'em and
leave'em" Joe. From what I've heard - he's wrecked more homes
than he's fixed. Mimsie Stanshope has him over all the time
and I don't just mean to strip her entryway.
Daphne: Oh, I see.
Niles: I'm sorry Daphne.
Daphne: No, it's better I should know now before I get my hopes up.
Thank you for being honest with me.
Daphne exits as Niles pulls out of the fridge. He stands for ages
against the fridge holding a tissue to his nose as if to stop it
bleeding.
End Of Act One. (Time: 12:20)
Act Two.
"THE CLOT THICKENS"
Scene One - Hallway Outside Frasier's Apartment.
It's half past five when Frasier gets off the lift and realises there
is no sound. It is as if all the workers have gone home. However,
just as he puts the key in the door he hears all the commotion.
Scene Two - Frasier's Apartment.
Frasier enters his apartment only to hit the door on his mantlepiece
which has been taken off the fire and stuck near the door. Now, all
the furniture has been either covered by dust sheets or moved to
other corners of the room. There is a vast amount of dust soaring
through the apartment and there is no scaffolding around the fire on
which a man stands. Also, many people are scurrying around in the
room including Joe and Bruce. Martin and Eddie are sat at the table.
Frasier: [conspicuous:] Joe!
Joe: Dr. Crane, don't panic, I can explain everything.
Frasier: Wonderful. Perhaps you can explain [points to man on
scaffolding:] these legs.
Joe: That's Cecil. He's the best ceiling guy in Seattle. We were
lucky to get him. When we opened up the wall to get to the
faulty wireing. We found that the gas pipes leading to your
fire place were cracked. Had to be fixed.
Frasier: Tonight?
Martin: I okay'ed it. It just seemed wiser to do it before the
explosion.
Martin gives a smug smile as Niles tries to enter. However, he bangs
against the mantle piece.
Niles: Frasier, the club members arrive in forty five minutes. Have
you lost your... [notices legs and waves upwards:] Cecil!
Frasier: Niles, don't yell at me. If you were able to lift anything
heavier than an emery board we wouldn't be in this position.
Martin: Maybe next time you'll listen to your old man.
Frasier: Thank you dad. You know I was just considering whether I
should go shave or slit my wrists. You made my choice a
little easier.
Joe: Don't worry. We are gonna make it. Only... about that
shaving. We had to shut the water off to replace a valve.
Frasier: Oh, well, that explosion idea's sounding better and better.
[phone rings:] Could someone at least move that mantle piece
away from the door! [answers phone:] Hello? [can't hear
him:] Just hold on will ya'.
Frasier moves over to upstage to take the call as Martin talks to
Joe.
Martin: Hey Joe, you know, you're going to be through by seven? It
gives you plenty of time for [points at Daphne who has now
entered:] a dinner and a movie.
Joe goes over to ask Daphne out. However, the noise is so intense
neither we or Daphne can hear him. Daphne keeps asking what he said
and she eventually lip reads his question. She answers however now he
nor we can hear her. Joe asks everyone to quieten down and all of a
sudden the following erupts:
Daphne: I said, I don't want to go out with you!
Joe: [embarrased turns to colleagues:] What ya' looking at? Get
back to work! [to Martin:] Thanks a lot!
Martin: [turns to Niles:] Why would she do that? She's crazy about
him!
Niles however is stood looking up at the ceiling. You can tell that
he is trying to hold the blood in his nose. Martin realises this.
Martin: Niles, is your nose bleeding?
Niles: No, no, I was just admiring Cecil's handywork.
Niles exits to the powder room as Frasier puts the phone back on the
recieving and tells Martin who it was.
Frasier: That was the mayor on the phone. Apparantly his wife can't
make it tonight so he has invited [mad:] Senator Adler. Can
anything else possibly go wrong?
Martin: Take a look at that. [points to floor]
Frasier: Oh dear God. Is that blood on my floor? [walks along a
trail:] And another drop.
Frasier crosses to the powder room and opens the door. We see Niles
sitting on the toilet holding a tissue back on his nose.
Frasier: Niles!
Scene Three - Frasier's Powder Room.
The scene continues as Frasier enters the powder room and closes the
door behind him.
Frasier: Well?
Niles: Is it terribly wrong to mislead someone even if it is for
his or her own good?
Frasier: What did you tell Daphne?
Niles: I made up a story that Joe seduces all the women he works
for so she wouldn't go out with him.
Frasier: [angry yet calm:] Oh Niles, how could you be so selfish?
Niles: I didn't do it for me, I did it for her. She deserves a
doctor, or a lawyer - someone for whom a T-shirt is an
undergarment.
Frasier: God, I don't know what sort of twisted fantasy you've
concocted about you and Daphne. I suppose it involves a
comet hitting the earth and you and she having to rebuild
the species! But trust me, Niles, it is not going to happen.
She needs a man who can do more for her than just smell her
hair. [opens door and calls:] Daphne!
Niles: What are you going to do?
Frasier: You are going to fix this?
Niles: What am I going to tell her?
Frasier: Tell her the truth. Only the truth shall make you clot.
Daphne: [enters:] Yes Dr. Crane?
Frasier: Yes Daphne, er, Niles has something he wishes to discuss
with you.
Frasier exits and closes the door behind him.
Daphne: What is it Dr. Crane? [points at tie:] Oh look, you have a
spot on your tie.
Niles explains to Daphne whilst she mops up the blood that has fallen
to his tie.
Niles: Well, earlier, what I said about Joe - I made a mistake. He
doesn't sleep around, he hasn't wrecked any homes, and the
business about Mimsie Stanshope...
Bruce: [enters:] Oh sorry, is there a john around here to air out my
paddle?
Niles: You can use the master bedroom. [to Daphne:] Joe never worked
for Mimsie Stanshoe..
Bruce: He sure didn't. I do all the work at Mimsie's. She is one
tough lady to satisfy.
Daphne: It's you?
Bruce: I'm the only guy that can make her happy, everyone knows
that. Jeez. [exits]
Daphne: [realising:] So, that was the mistake you heard. Those
stories you heard weren't about Joe, they were about Bruce?
Niles: Hard to believe isn't it. But you know, when society women go
slumming they go all the way! So, you can tell Joe that
you've changed your mind about going out with him.
Daphne: Oh no, I couldn't. What would I say?
Niles: Just tell him the truth. Tell him that I heard stories that
he... [nose starts bleeding:] No, bad idea! Here. You,
[cleans toilet seat with tissue:] wait here.
Daphne sits down as Niles exits.
Scene Four - Frasier's Apartment.
Niles walks over to Joe calling him.
Niles: Joe.
Joe: Yep.
Niles: [goes over to him] You have to ask Daphne out again.
Joe: Are you nuts? You heard what she said.
Niles: Yes, but if you ask her again; she'll say yes.
Joe: Hey maybe, I've changed my mind.
Niles: Oh, no, you haven't changed your mind. You're just letting
masculine vanity and hurt feelings keep you from something
that other men can only dream of in their ox blood seatus
leather wing back chair with the lights off.
Joe: Look, Dr. Crane, I just don't think it'll work out - okay?
Niles: No, it's not okay. If you had ever smelt her hair you'd know
she's worth at least one more try. She is an angel and she is
a goddess and she's waiting for you in the bathroom!
Joe: [knocks on powder room door] You got a minute?
Niles watches as Daphne and Joe disappear to the bathroom.
Scene Five - Frasier's Apartment.
Later that evening Frasier enters from the bathroom with bits of
blood stuck tissue paper on his face from where he caught himself
shaving. He goes over to the table where Martin and Niles are
sitting. The phone sounds.
Frasier: I'm never going to make it. Daphne, would you please get
that? [she does]
Martin: Jeez, I though you were jusat going to slit your wrists. It
looks like you went for death by a thousand cuts.
Frasier: I cut myself because I was shaving without water. And why
was there no water? Because I had to move your chair, which
gouged the floor, which made me call for Joe, who found bad
pipes, who called for Cecil, who ate the cat that killed the
rat that lived in the house that Frasier built!
Daphne: [to Frasier RE: phone call] That was the doorman. Senator
Adler's limosine just pulled up.
Frasier: Oh, it's over, it's over. Sing, fat lady sing.
Niles: Frasier, what are we going to do?
Martin: Will you gimme your cash both of you, come on! Hurry up?
Frasier: Why?
Martin: Never mind why just hand it to me. Come on, be quick Niles.
Niles: [takes money out of wallet:] Oh all right, do you want all
seven hundred dollars?
Martin: You carry seven hundred dollars in your wallet?
Niles: Well, Maris asked me to stop by the drug store later.
Martin: Just hand it over. [shouts to workmen:] Okay guys. I've got
seven hundred and some odd dollars here. If you can get
everything cleared up before Frasier's buddies get here it's
yours to split any way you want on your way out.
Frasier: Bribery? That's your big plan?
However, it does actually work as furniture is replaced quickly and
dust sheets are zapped away.
Frasier: Oh my God, it's starting to work. Hey, here's another
hundred I was holding out on my old man.
Martin: Hey! [takes it]
Daphne: Dr. Crane.
Niles: Yes?
Daphne: Joe told me what you did. I think that's the nicest thing
anyone's ever done for me. Thank you. [kisses Niles on cheek
and jumps back] Oh.
Niles: Did you feel that? We made a spark.
Daphne: Oh yes we did. I guess you were right, it is just the
carpet!
Joe: [shouting:] Okay everybody, come on. Move it, move it, move
it. We're out of here.
Joe picks up the seven hundred dollars as everyone except Frasier,
Niles, Martin, Daphne and Joe hurry out. The room is restored as Joe
asks Daphne:
Joe: Are you ready?
Daphne: [to rest:] Good night.
Frasier: Goodnight Daphne, have a good time.
Joe and Daphne exit. The room is now in perfection and is seemlessly
rid of workmen and any sign of them. Frasier is ecstatic.
Frasier: Oh, my God, we did, we actually did it. [Martin begins to
exit] Oh dad, please don't leave, I'd like you to stay. I
mean you helped me to get this put together tonight.
Martin: Oh well thanks Fras'. That makes me feel good. Not good
enough to hang around that "bleeding heart softy on crime"
Senator Adler but good. [calls:] Come on Eddie, the
politicians are coming!
Martin exits to his room as Eddie quickly follows him. The doorbell
goes and the brothers are excited. Frasier answers the door. The
camera goes for a P.O.V from the guests who recieve Frasier's
welcome:
Frasier: Senator Adler, Mayor. Welcome to my humble abode.
Bruce: [pulling up crotch area:] Do you mind if I have a pee in the
can?
Frasier smiles at his guests covering up for Bruce as we fade out.
End Of Act Two. (Time: 21:00)
Credits:
Scene One - Frasier's Apartment.
Frasier and Niles are bringing Martin's chair back into the lounge
again. They are upstage at the same point they dropped it before.
Niles asks to put it down but he's obviously under strict order not
too. He then crashes against the central pole of the lounge and drops
the chair before eventually falling on the couch with a hurt back.
Frasier then kicks the chair in disgust.
