TVTranscript
00:00This is Dr. Frasier Crane and we'll be right back after this.
00:06Okay, after this plot, we're gonna come back for 15 seconds, you do a station ID and then toss it to the news.
00:12I'll count you down.
00:14That won't be necessary. I have a built-in mental stopwatch.
00:18As a child, playing hide-and-go-seek, I was the only one that didn't need to say,
00:22one hippopotamus, two hippopotamus.
00:26Frasier, I've heard you. You're always either talking into the news or running short.
00:32I am not.
00:33I'll bet you 20 bucks you blow this one.
00:38All right, you are on.
00:39No, you are.
00:45Hello, we're back. This is Dr. Frasier Crane, tuning in for our second hour of the Dr. Frasier Crane Show.
00:53In our first hour, we cover everything from anorexia to xenophobia.
00:58What will be next?
01:00As always, of course, that's entirely up to you.
01:04So, stick around. The doctor is in and he's listening.
01:11Oh, this is KACL 780 AM.
01:13This is NBC News.
01:15I'm Mary Beth Davis.
01:20That was very smooth.
01:21Thank you.
01:23Let's see. One Andrew Jackson, two Andrew Jackson.
01:31Frasier, I've been getting a lot of complaints from sponsors saying that their ads are getting buried in huge commercial blocks.
01:38I see.
01:39So, instead of having four blocks per hour, we're going to have eight, only they're only going to be half as long.
01:46In fact, it might help them.
01:48And you want to stay on top, don't you, Frasier?
01:54Frasier?
01:56Of course, very much so.
02:01Good.
02:07Frasier, what was that?
02:09What was what?
02:10Call me crazy, but when you were talking to Kate, you had this goofy little teenage look on your face.
02:16If I didn't know better, I'd swear you got a thing for her.
02:20For Kate?
02:21Look at you, you're flushed.
02:23I had Mexican for lunch.
02:26It's not lust, it's a chili chonga.
02:31Frasier, I'm sorry, but I'm never wrong about these things.
02:35But have you lost your mind?
02:38Look me in the eye and tell me I'm wrong.
02:42Roz, you're wrong.
02:45Oh, my God, I'm sitting on a powder keg here, you've got a crush on Kate.
02:54Everybody else, you're the biggest gossip in the entire station.
02:57You'll be sworn to secrecy.
02:59I swear I won't tell anyone.
03:01Nope, doesn't count until you shake my hand.
03:03Oh, all right.
03:05Roz, Kate and I...
03:07Oh, my God, Kate's dirty girl!
03:09No, no, no, no, no!
03:11I told you, I told you!
03:13I told you, I told you!
03:15Yes!
03:17Kate is the woman you had sex with on the air in this booth and you were calling dirty girl?
03:23Oh, my God.
03:28I just need a minute here.
03:30All right.
03:31Of course, it happened months ago.
03:34Only a couple of times.
03:36Uh-huh.
03:37It's funny.
03:38Uh-huh.
03:39Relationships started out so antagonistic and suddenly it just spilled over into passion.
03:43Intense, romantic, exciting.
03:46Of course, the whole thing's over now, but...
03:49Now, Roz, you will say nothing, absolutely nothing.
03:53Roz.
03:55Roz.
03:56Boy, I'll never do that again.
04:03I notice you're grating that carrot at a 45 degree angle.
04:11Does that enhance the flavor?
04:13No, no.
04:14Just an old habit.
04:20And why exactly did you choose to grate carrots?
04:23Because we have carrots.
04:29I hope you don't mind all the questions.
04:31It's just now I'm separated.
04:33It's time I learned to cook for myself.
04:36That's quite all right.
04:37Tell you what.
04:38Why don't you grate while I put the chicken in?
04:41Right.
04:48Ooh.
04:49Thousands of little metal teeth.
04:53Able to tear the flesh right off your...
04:55Ow!
05:01No, no.
05:02False alarm.
05:03Normally I bleed like the Russian royal family, but not today.
05:10That's interesting.
05:12You put a toothpick in that chicken.
05:14Now, is that to check when it's done?
05:16No, I'm just marking which one is yours.
05:23Dr. Crane, would you mind setting the table?
05:26Oh, certainly.
05:27Just give a yell if there's anything else that you need to have grated.
05:30You've done enough grating for one night.
05:39Writing a letter?
05:43No, I'm writing my memoirs.
05:46I'll take that as a yes.
05:48It's my old army body.
05:50But, you know, that's the improper use of a hyphen.
05:54Somehow I don't think Maury Dingman will mind.
06:00Well, then I'm sure he won't notice that missing comma and that run-on sentence.
06:06Although this is a particularly glaring error, it's best not to end a sentence with a preposition.
06:21Not to be technical, but off is a preposition, too.
06:31Evening, all.
06:33Good news. I have tickets for the symphony tomorrow night. Are you free?
06:36Well, actually, no. I have a date.
06:39With who?
06:40Oh, some woman I met at my accountant's.
06:43Yeah, when I was in the service, first thing I'd do when I hit a new port was go straight to an accountant and find out where the action was.
06:52Well, I must admit I'm having a little trouble working up my enthusiasm about it.
06:57Probably the woman's fault. It's just that I find myself preoccupied with somebody else right now.
07:02Well, frankly, it's gone a bit beyond preoccupation. I'm having fantasies about her all the time.
07:09Oh, there's nothing wrong with that.
07:12No, when I first met your mother, she was so upbeat and bouncy, I used to fantasize about her all the time.
07:18She was so upbeat and bouncy, I used to fantasize about her wearing a skimpy little cheerleader outfit, shaking her potty.
07:25Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:28Grow up, you two. You're saying it's perfectly natural.
07:34Can't tell you the number of times I was on a stakeout in the cold, picturing your mother in front of a warm fire, wearing nothing but a...
07:42Dad, frankly, I don't think you're...
07:45Oh, I'm sorry. One day your mother and I went on a church picnic, and the two of you came floating down the river in little wicker baskets.
07:54Was that so hard?
07:59You know, I'm beginning to wonder if I have real feelings for this woman. I mean, I think about her all the time.
08:07Oh, this sounds interesting. Who are we talking about?
08:12Kate from the office.
08:13Oh, dirty girl.
08:18She seemed nice.
08:19Well, she is nice. She's intelligent, accomplished.
08:24Well, if you think so much of her, why don't you ask her out?
08:27Well, we agreed we wouldn't pursue things, and frankly, she hasn't given me any indication since that she's even had second thought about me.
08:36Added to which, if Fraser did pursue her and she rejected him, he could hardly rationalize it by saying she doesn't know what she's missing.
08:43She would know exactly what she's missing. She just didn't miss it.
08:55Thank you, Niles.
08:57You can't let fear of rejection stop you, Dr. Green.
09:02Oh, you know, Daphne, it's just not that easy, really. Maybe I'm letting this romantic fantasy run away with me.
09:08Truth is, we don't really know each other very well, and, you know, what if she did reject me and I'd end up going to work every day, feeling like a fool?
09:17Hey, am I getting a whiff of chicken here?
09:19Oh, fine, Dad. You know, frankly, I've had enough of you and your adolescent wisecracks.
09:26I am not chicken, I'm just really hesitant.
09:29All right, I will ask her out tomorrow. Fine, I hope that makes you happy.
09:34I just thought I smelled dinner.
09:47Oh, Kate, hi, there you are. I wanted to talk with you.
09:50I'm just going down to the billing department.
09:53I'll ride along with you.
09:56Thank you.
10:05You know, it seems every time we speak lately, the conversation always leads to ratings or commercials or demographics,
10:15hirings and firings, promotions, demotions, the odd skirmish over the expense account.
10:22It just seems all so dry and impersonal.
10:28Did I hit the right button?
10:30Oh, yeah.
10:35Yeah, you did, you did. You hit the right button.
10:38I'm sorry, I've got a lot on my mind.
10:41Well, so do I. Kate, I wanted to ask you.
10:47I'm leaving KACL. I'm moving to Chicago.
10:53What?
10:54Yeah, I'm taking over our station there. In fact, I'm going out on the red eye tonight.
11:00I thought given our history, I should tell you first.
11:05Well, I'm at a loss for words.
11:10Wouldn't you know it on the day I'm leaving?
11:18Well, congratulations. This is a big step for you.
11:22Yeah, thanks.
11:24Boy, this was not an easy decision. Believe me, you never know if you're leaving a place too soon.
11:31Well, all I know is that for the time you've been here, I've certainly enjoyed having you.
11:36Oh, no.
11:41Having you, you know.
11:42I know.
11:49Well, I guess this is goodbye.
11:54I suppose so.
11:56Goodbye.
11:58I suppose so.
12:02Goodbye, Kate.
12:21My, don't you look dashing.
12:24Oh, well, thank you.
12:27So, tell me about this woman you're going out with.
12:31Well, her name's Donna. She's an art director.
12:37Or a park director, I forget.
12:45Look, I know you're upset about Kate leaving, but cheer up.
12:50There's nothing quite as exciting as a first date.
12:53All those questions you ask.
12:56What's your favourite food? What's your favourite colour?
13:00If you were to come back as an animal, what sort of animal would you be?
13:05If she were to ask you that one, what would you say?
13:09Check, please, comes to mind.
13:17Hello?
13:20Niles, no one was mean to you last night.
13:25No, if you want to come over, that's great. Yeah, I would love to see you.
13:29Okay, bye.
13:33Come on out.
13:37No traffic?
13:39Yeah, you sounded lonely, so I rented some movies.
13:43Oh, didn't you know the VCR's broken?
13:46No subtitles this time.
13:47Oh, that's right, I get it fixed.
13:50What did you bring?
13:51I have The Way We Were and a classic, Casablanca.
13:55Oh, I just love that movie.
13:58Is there any more heartbreaking moment in all of film than when Humphrey Bogart tells Ingrid Bergman to get on that plane with Victor Laszlo, even though Boggy loves her?
14:09What an ending.
14:11Well, here goes my need to finally see that one.
14:15He cares deeply for her, and yet he lets her go.
14:20I wonder why Boggy did that.
14:22Well, why don't we put the movie in and find out?
14:25Because Laszlo needed her by his side to fight the Nazis.
14:28Oh, forget the Nazis.
14:31Some man in his right mind would give up Ingrid Bergman.
14:34Oh, sure, sacrifice the entire free world for a little Swedish meatball.
14:38Oh, sure, sacrifice the entire free world for a little Swedish meatball.
14:45Look, I don't like Nazis any more than the next guy, but what's Ingrid gonna do with Laszlo?
14:51You're missing the point.
14:53What makes the movie so romantic is seeing Boggy go from a cynical playboy to a noble, self-sacrificing patriot.
15:02Well, why don't you just put on some trench coats and act it out?
15:06I'm telling you, if you're in his shoes, you've only got one choice.
15:11I'll say you do. You get the hell down to the airport and tell her to get off the plane.
15:15She's going to Lisbon to fight the Nazis.
15:17No, she's not. She's going to Chicago to turn a country western station into an all-talk format.
15:22Kate!
15:23Where are you going?
15:24To stop Kate from getting on that plane.
15:26Well, your dad's gonna be here in a minute. What are you supposed to tell her?
15:29Oh, I don't know. Just tell her I'm visiting a sick friend or something.
15:33Well, better yet, just tell her the truth. Sometimes two people just aren't meant to be together.
15:38Oh, it's just like Redford and Streisand at the end of The Way We Were.
15:43And that's enough.
15:45That's enough.
16:01Frasier!
16:02Don't say anything. Just listen.
16:05Kate, this afternoon I wanted to say something to you, but when I found out you were leaving, I held back.
16:10Well, I'm not holding back anymore.
16:14I can't stop thinking about you.
16:17Not just about the times when they'd love, but about the possibility that we might have a future together.
16:22Now, if there's any part of you that wonders the same thing about me, we owe it to ourselves to see it through.
16:29See, if you get on that plane tonight, we'll regret it.
16:33Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.
16:38And for the rest of our lives.
16:41Anyway, I think I've made my point.
16:46What do you think?
16:49Kate?
16:53More importantly, what do you think?
17:05Oh, for God's sake, you've been bawling the whole movie.
17:10I have not. My eyes just itch.
17:16Well, it turns out Bogie was right to let her go.
17:21Oh, Frasier, what are you doing here?
17:24Look, Donna stayed to watch Casablanca with us.
17:28Donna, hi.
17:29Hello, Frasier. How's your friend?
17:31In the hospital.
17:34He's doing much better, actually. They're thinking of sending him home tomorrow.
17:39After a heart transplant?
17:43Well, he's with an HMO.
17:48So, uh, what do you say we have that dinner?
17:52Oh, great. I'll just grab my coat.
17:54Certainly.
17:59Kate.
18:00Okay, now you listen to me.
18:02I was so touched by what you just said at my apartment.
18:06You said everything that I've wanted to say to you for the last two months.
18:10Tony's just the guy that I went out with a couple of times.
18:14He just came over to say goodbye to me before I went to the airport.
18:18When you saw him, you know, you just looked so hurt.
18:22You had a date with Fer tonight, too?
18:27But apparently you rebounded.
18:30Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were sincere.
18:34Excuse me. Hold the elevator.
18:36I was, Kate. But this woman means nothing to me.
18:39Oh, thanks a lot.
18:41I'm sorry, Donna. I'm truly sorry. It was very inconsiderate.
18:44But that woman means a great deal to me.
18:47Look, I'm sure you hate me, but I just gotta do what I gotta do.
18:50I'm really sorry about this.
18:53Why don't you stay and watch the end of the movie?
18:55Oh, thank you, but I spent quite enough time in this house tonight.
19:04Oh.
19:08This is lucky we can ride down together.
19:19Kate! Kate!
19:21You're hurt.
19:23Oh, my God.
19:25I know you're upset, but I don't even care about that woman.
19:29She's just a blind date I didn't even want to go on.
19:31I wanted to be with you tonight.
19:33I know. I overreacted. I overreacted.
19:36I've been standing here for a half an hour hoping you'd come.
19:38I never thought you'd come.
19:40I can't believe we went in so long. I had to do or say something to you.
19:43Oh, listen, listen. It's not your fault. I could have said something.
19:48Well, it doesn't matter. We're together now.
19:50Your boarding pass, please.
19:52Oh, go ahead. Go ahead.
19:55Well, couldn't you just stay one more night?
19:57Just call and tell them you'll come in tomorrow?
19:59I can't. I have a board meeting in the morning.
20:03All right, look, I'll call you. Where are you staying?
20:05I'm staying at the Drake. But you know what? I'll call you.
20:07I'll call you the minute I get in.
20:09Okay.
20:11Ma'am, we're closing the doors.
20:13They're closing.
20:15Goodbye.
20:17I'll miss you.
20:19I'll miss you.
20:24Ladies and gentlemen, I just spoke with our captain,
20:27and we're having a little technical snag.
20:30So, flight 487 to Chicago will be delayed indefinitely.
20:36I missed you.
20:37I missed you, too.
20:41The minute that door closed, I started praying for something bad to happen to your plane.
20:50Isn't this just like fate? It's like somebody's willing us to get together.
20:54I felt that way since the moment I met you.
20:56Oh, me too.
20:59Look, why don't you come with me tonight?
21:02Oh, I've got to work. I can come out next weekend.
21:05Oh, yeah? Oh, great. You know what?
21:08You can meet my twin sister. She lives in Chicago.
21:11You've got a twin?
21:12Yeah.
21:13Wow.
21:17There's so much we don't know about each other.
21:20Well, ask me. Ask me anything.
21:22Okay.
21:24Oh, I know.
21:26What's your favorite color?
21:29Blue.
21:30What's yours?
21:31Arctic silver.
21:33It's available on all the big BMWs.
21:37What's your favorite city?
21:38Paris.
21:39Museum?
21:40The Prado.
21:41Musical?
21:42Candide.
21:43Yours?
21:44Cats.
21:51Really?
21:52Well, I love cats. I have a cat.
21:55Would you like to meet Louis?
21:57Oh, um, no, no. You know, it's allergies. Allergies.
22:01Oh.
22:02Not really much of a pet person.
22:05Oh, really? Oh, no.
22:08All right, we'll work around that.
22:11Oh, you know what we can do when you come out?
22:13We can go jogging around the lake.
22:15Oh, Frasier, the lake is so beautiful.
22:19Do you ever jog?
22:21Uh, once.
22:23Uh, in a dark parking lot when a truck backfired.
22:31All right, we can do something that you like.
22:34What do you like? What do you like?
22:36Well, we could go antiquing.
22:39You know what?
22:40I'm not one of those people for whom antique is a verb.
22:47Well, listen, this is all good.
22:50The contrast between us will only make our relationship more vibrant.
22:56Vive la difference.
23:04Louis is getting curious.
23:06All right, well, no, no, it's all right.
23:09Well, you know, if this is really going to be a problem, there is a shot.
23:16Yes, and I understand they're completely humane.
23:26Oh, you meant an allergy shot, didn't you?
23:30Oh, my God.
23:40I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Frasier.
23:42I'm just afraid if I move Louis any further away, they're going to think he's a bomb.
23:52It's all right. It's all right.
23:55So, uh, you were saying that you love animals.
24:00Oh, yeah.
24:01I think that's one of the main things that motivates me to work so hard.
24:05I've always had this dream to get a ranch in Montana, you know,
24:11and ski in the mornings and ride horses in the afternoons.
24:16I've just always wanted to raise horses.
24:20Wow.
24:22Life on a ranch, raising horses.
24:26I've always pictured myself in a penthouse raising children.
24:33You still want more children, then?
24:37Yes.
24:39You like kids?
24:40Oh, yeah. I love kids.
24:43I don't see myself mothering one, though.
24:50You know, just to be on the safe side,
24:52let me just check and see if there's another flight to Chicago.
24:55You know what? It couldn't hurt.
24:57Excuse me.
24:59Is there another flight to Chicago tonight?
25:02Uh, not until morning.
25:04How about on another airline?
25:06Well, let's see.
25:11American has one connecting through Atlanta,
25:15American has one connecting through Atlanta, leaving in ten minutes.
25:19Oh, Atlanta's good. That's a hop.
25:21Hey, but they're way on the other side of the airport.
25:24Oh, damn. I'll never get there.
25:26Oh, look, Kate. Fate to the rescue once again.
25:29Sir, this woman has to get across the terminal post-haste.
25:32Hey, pal, this will go a lot faster with just one person.
25:36Good point.
25:41Bye.
25:45Here you go.
25:47Thank you.
26:15Well, Louie, this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
26:28Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling
26:31Toss salads and scrambled eggs
26:35Oh, my
26:37And maybe I seem a bit confused
26:40Well, maybe
26:42Confused? Well, maybe
26:44But I got you pegged
26:49But I don't know what to do
26:51With those tossed salads and scrambled eggs
26:56They're calling again
26:59Good night, everybody!
