00:00Oh my god, breathtaking. Don't be greedy your turn was over 40 seconds ago.
00:07All right, all right, it's all right.
00:10This is the parent house unit, second window from the right.
00:15Oh mama.
00:18You two know the way you're doing isn't right, don't you?
00:21We're simply admiring a very rare Brancusi armchair, not a naked woman.
00:26That's what I'm talking about.
00:31Oh, hi dad.
00:34You're home kind of early, aren't you?
00:36A bit. Something sort of happened.
00:40Oh yeah, what?
00:41Well, Joe and I were having dinner.
00:44Everything was nice as could be and I said, don't you like your potato?
00:49And he said, no, I'm not hungry for potato just now.
00:53So I said, well, if you don't like your potato, you're welcome to try my potato.
00:57Becky, could we hasten to the post potato portion of the dialogue?
01:04Well, that's when he said it.
01:06He said we'd been on again off again for too long without making anything permanent.
01:12So maybe it was best if we just broke up.
01:15Oh gosh, I'm sorry.
01:18You sure taking it well?
01:20Well, if you'd have told me that Joe would end up dumping you tonight, I'd have bet that you...
01:25Oh God, he dumped me.
01:28Somebody comfort her.
01:37Oh, this is so embarrassing.
01:39Oh, no, no, no, never mind about that.
01:43Expressing our feelings is always beneficial, even if it does come at the expense of our pride.
01:50And a very expensive brand new Italian.
01:56I don't seem to be doing much good here.
01:58Why don't you give it a try?
02:00No, definitely not.
02:03Sorry, you're better off without him.
02:05That guy was a bum.
02:07He was the best thing in my life.
02:09Oh, well, then maybe you two just weren't meant for each other.
02:13You know, you're champagne and caviar sort of gal.
02:17He's a meat and potatoes guy.
02:19Potatoes!
02:22I'm messing up, Julie. I've got it down here.
02:25I'll get it.
02:32Hey, Daphne.
02:33Ron.
02:35Oh my God, you got dumb.
02:41Did you make her answer the door?
02:44It's what she does.
02:47Oh, it's all right. Come on.
02:50I'm sorry about Elvis.
02:53I guess I'm still at a point where I can't hear his name without crying.
02:57Did you hear that, everyone? No one mentions the name Joe.
03:11Brandy, now?
03:13Yes, thank you.
03:15Frazier?
03:17I think I've just made an important decision.
03:20I'm going to tell Daphne how I feel about her.
03:23What?
03:24I'm going to tell her tonight.
03:26You're serious about this?
03:27I am dead serious.
03:29Maris and I are nowhere near reconciling.
03:32I know this is the right decision because I'm completely calm about it.
03:36Look.
03:46Perhaps I'll take that brandy.
03:47Yes, all right.
03:49May I ask you, before you do something, this rash,
03:53perhaps you should consider it from all angles.
03:55I've spent three years considering Daphne from all angles.
04:02I'm just not sure if this is the right timing.
04:04No, no. If you're trying to rattle me, it's not going to work.
04:07I've been rehearsing this for months.
04:09Daphne, there's something I need to talk to you about.
04:12It's a matter of...
04:14Daphne?
04:17For a long time now, you and I, we...
04:21Exactly how's the brandy getting here? By Saint Bernard?
04:31Maris, I just think you should consider Daphne's state of mind.
04:34I mean, she's still reeling from her breakup with Joe.
04:38Listen, why don't you just give it one more day?
04:41A day?
04:43Just a day. Just one day, please.
04:46You've waited this long.
04:48Another day won't make a difference.
04:52All right.
04:54Now, Daphne, if the jewelry wasn't that good
04:58and the sex wasn't that good, what have you really lost here?
05:05Dr. Ross weighs in with the Gabor approach to therapy.
05:14What were the Sonics thinking last night?
05:16If you're two for 15 from behind the arc,
05:18why do you still give it to your two-guard
05:20instead of jamming it down to your big man in the paint?
05:25Eddie, I believe that question was directed at you.
05:33You know, if you took an interest in sports,
05:36I bet you'd end up enjoying it.
05:38It's got drama, it's got graceful stuff.
05:41Thank you, Daphne. Frankly, I'm quite satisfied
05:43with the likes of Pavarotti's Pagliacci.
05:46You have your big man in the paint. I have mine.
05:58Niles?
06:00Faker?
06:02Either your boutonniere is way over the top
06:04or you're here to execute last night's plan.
06:08Look, I know I don't have your total support in this,
06:11but how shall I put this?
06:13You don't care?
06:15If you could work the phrase rat's ass into there, you'd have it.
06:24The fact is, I'm tired of being lonely
06:27and it makes no sense going on being lonely
06:29when the woman I long for is unattached.
06:31Yes, well, as I said to you at the time,
06:34it's hard to jump out of the treehouse with an umbrella.
06:37I suppose you know what you're doing.
06:42Hey, Niles.
06:43Hey, Dad.
06:46Hello?
06:48Oh, just a second, please.
06:50Dad, is Daphne in her room?
06:51Gee, I don't know.
06:52Daphne!
06:54Oh, Dad!
06:55For God's sake!
06:56Dad!
06:57I can yell!
07:00Would you hold, please?
07:02I've been waiting 30 years to do that.
07:08You're probably wondering what I'm doing with these flowers.
07:11I don't know that you mention it.
07:12Well, I'll tell you.
07:16They're for Daphne.
07:18I'm going to tell her how I feel about her.
07:20Oh, that's great, Niles.
07:23That's great?
07:24Well, yeah.
07:25You're single now, she's single.
07:27What's the problem?
07:33That's so funny.
07:35What is?
07:37That's just not the reaction I expected.
07:39I thought you'd say something more dad-like, you know, like...
07:42You're out of your mind?
07:47She's never going to go for it in a million years.
07:49Stop it! Stop it!
07:51Someday you'll look back on this as the stupidest, most idiotic...
07:55I said stop it!
07:59Morning, Dr. Craig.
08:00Hello, Daphne.
08:01Oh, don't you look nice.
08:05Hello?
08:07Yes, Rodney.
08:09I'm so glad you called.
08:12Well, yes, I enjoyed meeting you too.
08:16Uh-huh.
08:18Well, that would be lovely.
08:20I'll see you around four then.
08:22Bye.
08:25Rodney?
08:26Yes, you won't believe this.
08:29Last night, Roz insisted on taking me to this bar she calls The Sure Thing.
08:34A flattery.
08:35They've named a bar after her.
08:43She said whenever she takes a friend there, they always end up meeting someone.
08:48Well, I wasn't there ten minutes when she spun my bar stool around...
08:51and I was face-to-face with this nice-looking man.
08:54Rodney?
08:55Right.
08:56I suppose it's a bit soon for me to be seeing anyone else, but...
09:00if I wait, he might not be available when I'm ready.
09:03Timing is everything.
09:07I can't wait to tell Roz.
09:11Give it a day, Niles. I believe that was your brilliant advice.
09:17I'm sorry, Niles. I really am. I don't know what to say.
09:20Too bad you didn't have that problem last night.
09:24I don't want to get you down.
09:26I'm not going to. I still have a fallback position.
09:30I'm going to call Roz and have her take me to that bar tonight.
09:35Niles, really? A singles bar?
09:40Please, you're not thinking clearly. It's not exactly your arena, is it?
09:45Listen, why don't you just give it a day and think it over?
09:49Here, let me dial that for you.
09:54Well, I'm here. I forgot to gargle.
09:57I'm wearing mismatched socks, and I'm so nervous I could wet myself.
10:04Well, at least we have your opening line down.
10:08You're going to have to be patient with me, Roz. This is a serious matter.
10:12I don't want to get you down.
10:14I don't want to get you down.
10:16I don't want to get you down.
10:18I don't want to get you down.
10:21You're going to have to be patient with me, Roz. This isn't exactly my milieu.
10:25Okay, let's make that lesson number one.
10:28If you're going to use words like milieu,
10:30you might as well show up here with a sore on your lip and a couple of kids.
10:40Point well taken.
10:41Will you sit down and relax? You're going to be fine.
10:45Just a few little rules you need to know.
10:48First, when you introduce yourself, be as casual as possible.
10:52Second, you cannot say enough nice things about her hair.
10:57I know that sounds shallow, but it really works.
11:00And third, hang on her every word.
11:04Be fascinated.
11:07Now go.
11:09What do you mean, go?
11:10It's time.
11:11I'm not ready.
11:12Oh.
11:13I've done a lot of little babies in the water, and they've all come up swimming.
11:17Now go.
11:18No, no, I can possibly not yet. I have...
11:22Hello.
11:23Hello.
11:25Hope I'm not bothering you.
11:27No, not at all.
11:29I'm Adele.
11:31Niles.
11:33So, Adele.
11:35Is that one L or two?
11:38Two.
11:39Two.
11:41Really?
11:59You're wasting your time.
12:01No, I'm not.
12:02You're not going to win.
12:04It's time we learned what it's like to be stared at all the time.
12:09Bring it on, buster. You got nothing.
12:14You can't touch me. I'm...
12:20It's like his eyes turned into sorcerer's pinwheels and started spinning.
12:27Just shake hands and say goodbye.
12:34Oh, hi. How you doing?
12:36Niles, come on in.
12:37This is Adele Childs, my father, Martin.
12:40Nice to meet you.
12:41And my brother, Frasier.
12:43Nice to finally meet you.
12:45Nice to meet you, too.
12:46Are you all right? Your eyes look funny.
12:48Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine.
12:50Here are your tickets. Thank you.
12:54Say, have you got time for a coffee before you go?
12:57That'd be nice.
12:58Splendid.
12:59Give me a chance to debut my Limoges coffee set.
13:03A series of six unique cups.
13:05Each one representing a different wife of Henry VIII.
13:10My antique dealer just found an Anne of Cleves to complete the set.
13:18He loves to rub it in.
13:20I'm still looking for a Wilma to complete my juice glass set.
13:28I'll lend you a hand. Excuse me.
13:31So, what do you think?
13:33She seems very nice.
13:35She's fabulous.
13:37I know it's only been three dates, but I feel as though I've been rescued.
13:41I no longer have to worry about becoming one of those pitiful losers
13:45embittered by a failed marriage,
13:47leading a lonely, pathetic life of fulfillment and good times.
13:53Fulfillment and good times!
13:59You make a beeping noise when you back up like that?
14:04Well, coffee will be ready in a moment.
14:06So, what were you two whispering about?
14:09Uh, nothing.
14:11Just how whenever you think you have your life figured out,
14:14something unexpected happens.
14:19Sorry, forgot my keys.
14:21Hello, all. Oh, everyone, this is Rodney Banks.
14:27Hello.
14:28Dr. Niles Cree?
14:30How do you do?
14:31The pleasure is mine.
14:42Flu season.
14:43Can't be too careful.
14:45Oh, this is Dr. Frasier Cree and his father, Martin.
14:50Good morning. Welcome.
14:52This is Adele Childs.
14:54Oh, hello.
14:56Well, we've just had the most wonderful day at the marina.
14:59Oh, you got a boat?
15:01Actually, no.
15:02I have an inner ear curvature that makes me prone to motion sickness.
15:06But there's a charming bistro there that serves the most exquisite...
15:17Not me. Not me.
15:19Hello.
15:20Oh, I can't talk now, Duke.
15:23I'm in the Twilight Zone.
15:33Would, um, would you like a coffee?
15:35Oh, yes, that would be lovely.
15:37I'll give you a hand, Frasier.
15:43What the hell was that?
15:50I think maybe we should put a little red mark on the real Niles so we can tell them apart.
15:56Niles must be going nuts.
15:58Can I lend you a hand?
16:00Oh, no, that's fine, Niles.
16:02Oh, but wait, wait a minute.
16:04Um, so, what do you think of Rodney?
16:08Bit of a pretentious fop, wouldn't you say?
16:13He doesn't remind you of anyone?
16:16Remind me of him?
16:18I'm so sorry, but about my coffee, I neglected to mention that I like my milk steamed.
16:23But just a dollop of foam, such as might give the effect of a cumulus cloud reflected in a still pond.
16:33Consider it done.
16:39I want to kill myself.
16:45Come on, Niles, it's funny.
16:47No, it's not remotely funny.
16:51Frasier talked me out of approaching Daphne on the same night she fell for that man.
16:55You can't possibly be mad at me.
16:57No, no, Frasier, I'm grateful.
17:00Come here, let me show you how grateful I am.
17:02Niles, calm down.
17:05Isn't Rodney just great?
17:07Oh, yeah, very nice guy.
17:08Lovely man.
17:09You know, I think it was the moment I broke up with Joe and I heard a voice say,
17:13Daphne, it's time you went for a completely new type of man.
17:18You're a dead man!
17:21I'll serve our guests their coffee.
17:23Here we are, coffee.
17:26Milk's on its way, Niles is still steamy.
17:33Nothing on earth smells quite so heavenly as a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
17:38Well, perhaps one thing does.
17:43Stop that.
17:45He loves to smell my hair.
17:55Anne Boleyn.
17:57Catherine of Aragon.
18:09Oh, for heaven's sake, Niles.
18:13You don't take my calls.
18:15You ignore me.
18:17For God's sake, it's the behavior of a pouting adolescent.
18:21Are you quite finished now?
18:25You put gum on my chair, didn't you?
18:30Yep.
18:34Niles, listen, I am terribly sorry if I steered you wrong.
18:42Just think about it, you know.
18:45You have a wonderful new woman in your life now, don't you?
18:51Yes, I suppose I do.
18:55And Adele does make you very happy, doesn't she?
18:59Yes. Yes, she does.
19:01Well, then, if you've ever taken any of my advice before, take this.
19:05Adele could very well be the path to your happiness.
19:12But let's just say I'm wrong.
19:17But you're not wrong.
19:19Adele is a wonderful, affectionate woman.
19:25She's clearly drawn to a man of my type.
19:28Just thinking about her lifts my spirits.
19:31Frazier, thank you.
19:34Niles, look.
19:38Look.
19:44I don't believe it.
19:46The betrayal.
19:48No one treats Daphne like that.
19:50Niles!
19:53Whatever you do, do not engage him in a physical fight.
19:56The whole thing would just look too weird.
20:08Hello, Adele.
20:10Oh, no.
20:12I know this may look a tad incriminating, but the truth is...
20:15Oh, spare me, you ludicrous pup and jay.
20:21I know exactly what's going on. I saw the whole thing from my table.
20:24I was going to call you.
20:26You see, Rodney and I...
20:31I'm sorry.
20:33So am I, Adele.
20:35I'm especially sorry for Daphne.
20:37How do you intend to handle that small matter?
20:40I was planning on telling her this evening at Granville's.
20:43We're meeting for drinks.
20:45Granville's?
20:48Why don't you do her a favor? Let me tell her.
20:51Might be better coming from a friend.
20:53Yes, perhaps you're right.
20:56Please tell her that I'm sorry.
20:58Sometimes when a man meets the woman that he's meant to be with...
21:02There's nothing he can do to resist it.
21:05I hope Daphne understands that.
21:11I hope she understands it, too.
21:17Rodney.
21:20Adele.
21:25You know, there's just one thing I'd like to ask you, Rodney.
21:29Do you have an older brother?
21:31As a matter of fact, I do.
21:33He's always been the pride of the family.
21:36Handsome, successful, brilliant.
21:39I've always been rather jealous of him.
21:44Spooky.
21:59Evening, Daphne.
22:01Hello, Dr. Crane.
22:03You don't seem surprised to see me.
22:06I was running late, so I called Rodney on his cell phone.
22:10He told me everything.
22:12Oh.
22:14I'm sorry.
22:16I'm sorry for you, too.
22:18Join me in a little sorrow drowning?
22:21I believe I will.
22:23One more of these, please.
22:29Thank you.
22:35Well, you know, I...
22:37I can't really blame Adele.
22:40Rodney's that sort of man that women seem to go for.
22:45Yes, he is.
22:48I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
22:51You didn't.
22:53I guess I'm just more in the mood to hear about his negative qualities right now.
22:58Oh, well.
23:00He's kind of a know-it-all.
23:02A bit fussy.
23:04He must have everything just so.
23:06He's nuts about cleanliness.
23:08Then there's his clothes, his precious shoes.
23:11I don't like this road we're on.
23:17I mean...
23:19Wouldn't it be better if we discussed what's in our future?
23:24I suppose.
23:26I'll tell you one thing.
23:28After the run I've had lately, I pity the next man I date.
23:32I'd probably rip him to shreds.
23:35What about the man after that?
23:41Men can be such an unfeeling lot.
23:44Look at Rodney.
23:46Hadn't he heard I'd just broken up with someone?
23:49He moved right in for the kill.
23:51Is that how all men are?
23:54No, not all men.
23:57No, of course they aren't.
24:00You're not.
24:02You're kind, sensitive.
24:05If you ask me, you were too good for that, Adele.
24:09Thank you, Daphne.
24:12Now, the truth is...
24:14My heart was never really in that relationship.
24:20I thought it might not be.
24:23There was someone else who was too much on my mind.
24:28I had a feeling, Dr. Crane.
24:31You did?
24:33Yes.
24:35As long as you still have feelings for your wife,
24:38you know you can't be involved with anyone else.
24:43And it makes sense to me.
24:45I know I'd never get involved with a man who was separated.
24:50Even if he'd worshipped you from the day he laid eyes on you?
24:53And don't think that's not just how they put it, too.
25:01I think I need to do a bit of separating myself.
25:05From Joe, I mean.
25:07Yes, I'll wait a good long time before I do any more dating.
25:12Well, I'm glad to hear that.
25:16You know, it's funny when you think about it.
25:20The two of us both coming to the same singles bar this week.
25:25You know, this was the very stool I was on when I met Rodney.
25:29I was sitting here when I met Adele.
25:34What?
25:37Oh, I was just thinking.
25:39If it had been a different time in both our lives,
25:42we might actually have met.
25:45How do you suppose that would have gone?
25:48What, our conversation?
25:50Yes, go on, just for fun.
25:52We could both use a smile.
25:55Well, I would have said,
25:58is this seat taken?
26:00And you would have said no.
26:03And you would have said, my name is Daphne.
26:06And I would have said, my name is Niles.
26:09And then I would have said,
26:14what are you doing for the rest of your life?
26:18You always know just the right thing to say.
26:23Oh, I love you, Dr. Crane.
26:28I love you too, Daphne.
26:58What do you do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs?
27:04They're calling again.
27:07Goodnight, Seattle, we love you!
