00:21Oh none for me. Thanks listen. Can I have a
00:24Please
00:26Nancy I had been dying to call you my cousin just moved to town
00:30I think he'd be perfect for you actually I just started seeing someone well
00:36You'll forget all about him when you meet Chuck
00:39So handsome and rugged and he loves the outdoors kindly leave him there
00:45I
00:48Said the person that Nancy is seeing is me
00:51Really you two are dating even as we speak. Oh
00:57I am so sorry. Oh well good for you. I mean who needs Chuck when you've got the well the auntie Chuck
01:06When my muffin gets here, could you send it over you won't even see it coming
01:10I
01:17Think you're about to ask me out again. Oh my gosh, so I was well
01:21Let's just see how far this ESP of yours goes
01:24What night was I thinking of?
01:28Friday night
01:30Astonishing busboy clear these spools before she starts bending them
01:33I
01:35Sprayed your I'm so glad you're here. No. Oh, I'm sorry Niles crane
01:40I think we've met Nancy Cavanaugh used to work at KACL. Oh, of course
01:45Talking business. Uh, well actually no. Oh good. I'm afraid I was interrupting something
01:52Feast your eyes on this
01:56financial settlement
01:58Good Lord miles you and Maris have come to terms. What was that? I couldn't hear over the angel singing
02:04Oh
02:06Congratulations
02:08Exciting my brother has been going through a rather rancorous divorce. You must be very relieved
02:14Oh, I'll say it's cost me a fortune already. If she dragged it out any longer. I'd be literally bankrupt
02:19Well, I'm sure you've got some celebrating to do so off you go
02:24Cannot wait until I'm done with this
02:26I just have to sign it and get her to do the same and then I can take my seat on the freedom train
02:30Well all aboard
02:34Oh
02:36It's a funny thing one day you're starting a new relationship full of hope the next you're
02:43Sinking helplessly into a sucking pit of despair
02:48If you filled with a bitter vial of regret
02:52You're on a date, aren't you?
02:57It's hard to say at this point, I'm so sorry. Oh, it's alright I have to go anyway
03:04It was nice seeing you again. Yes, you too
03:11Here we are so we're still on for Friday night, yes, of course we are. No, I was wondering
03:17Maybe we could just have dinner at your place
03:22Well, yes, that's amazing you read my mind again
03:26Well, I just thought it would be more comfortable. We could curl up on the couch make a nice fire
03:31You guess what I'm thinking now, oh
03:36You are good, aren't you?
03:50Yes
03:53Oh, yeah, it's not about winning or losing it's about the thrill of competition. Congratulations mile. Thanks, Deb
04:02Oh pumped as I was I don't think anybody could have beat me today even an actual athlete
04:09Jerry Niles, yes. Thank you. Maris and I have reached a financial settlement. Oh, that's great
04:19It's wonderful well as wonderful as the tragic ripping apart of two lovers once bound in a sacred union can be
04:27Oh
04:29It's brilliant, dr. Crane
04:32Thanks, Daphne. Oh Daphne as long as you're doing the laundry, let me throw in my gym towel
04:37All right, you know if you've got a couple of extra minutes, I can also give you these squash talks
04:41Oh, let's save some of the phone for tomorrow
04:46What's this
04:49Cartier miles, did you put this in there? No. Oh my goodness. Somebody must have slipped it in my bag when we were at the courts
04:57I don't remember
04:59Anyone touching our things other than the valet and Jaime the squash Porter boy
05:03You boys really work up quite a sweat down there, don't you?
05:08My goodness, let's look at this
05:13They're beautiful there's a card in here I
05:19Still think of you constantly I was wrong to ever let you go
05:24Do you believe in second chances? It's unsigned
05:27Wrong to let you go. It sounds like it's from someone who dumped you
05:34That's no short list now, is it
05:40You know, maybe it's that Sonya woman he was going out with wasn't there a sister to and a niece
05:45Oh, yes, he went through that family like a recessive gene. Yes
05:51Not to disrupt the think-tank but there is an easier way to find out
05:55I'll just make a few well-placed inquiries and see where I get a nibble. Oh
06:02Yes
06:04There's a group of people that might regret having left Club Frazier before last call
06:14Patricia
06:17And there's a Oh Susan yes Tatiana
06:25Frazier
06:27Altering squash the whole thing you talked about was this wonderful new woman in your life
06:31Are you gonna just drop her to chase after someone else? I'm not dropping Nancy. I'm just
06:36Weighing your option. All right. So what if I am I
06:41Don't believe this size all of my life
06:44I have dreamt of the day when I would be pursued by more than one woman what man hasn't for God's sake
06:49Do you blame me for enjoying it now that the day is here all my whole life?
06:53I had to listen to you whine about your dating Rose now
06:55You have a chance for something good with Nancy. You're gonna risk ruining it. You are just jealous. That's what you I am
07:00Not jealous. You're being foolish
07:04What do you think
07:07Don't drag me into this. I learned when you were kids to stay out of it whenever you two started fighting
07:13I just wait till the whole thing ended usually in tears and then I'd take you both out for ice cream
07:19That was my job ice cream, man
07:24I
07:24Suppose fathers are the same everywhere
07:27Mine couldn't bear to see us fight if there was so much as a peep out of us
07:31He'd be out the door to the pub stay for a few hours
07:35sometimes overnight
07:36Then when they bought him back the next morning, we couldn't fight because of his headaches
07:43I suppose that was part of his plan to keep harmony in the family. God bless him
07:53Dancing wait up. I'll write down with you
07:56Frazier you have a chance for something real with Nancy only a fool would throw that away chasing after some
08:04Wait for me pie in the sky
08:08What an idiot
08:17Tatiana Frazier crane calling
08:21Yes, uh pick up if you're there
08:25Well, I guess I've missed you the question is
08:31Have you missed me? Oh
08:37Hi
08:40Why so blonde
08:42Why else?
08:44Weekend starting again. I don't have a date. Oh, do you know how long it's been since?
08:51You know, I probably forgot how oh no
08:57I'm sure it'll come back to it's just like riding a bicyclist
09:00bicycle
09:05Well, you're in the same boat, why don't you come over and hang out with me and Alice tonight?
09:09I'll rent a movie and we can order pizza. I'd love to it's just that I've got a date tonight with Nancy
09:15That's still going on. Yes, but we're going out tonight on our third date, you know the kind it's like one of your
09:22first dates
09:28Well, I gotta go all right
09:30You're in dr. Crane, right? Yes, I am. Can I help you a woman drop this off for you? Oh
09:37My gosh
09:39Must be another gift from my secret admirer
09:42You've got a secret admirer. Yes, I do. In fact the other day. She sent me these cufflinks
09:49At least I think it's the same woman. There's a third person has thrown her hat into the ring
09:54My god, you have two women at least
09:58And you're juggling them and you're getting jewelry. Why is that so hard to believe?
10:04Well, I guess since they clone that sheep anything's possible
10:10Oh
10:14Hey Frazier dad Niles, what is that? Oh not another gift from your misery woman. Yes, indeed it is. Oh
10:24My god
10:26It's a Patek Philippe
10:27pocket watch that is
10:30Stunning. I almost bought one like that on my honeymoon only Maris thought it was too impractical. So we got that glockenspiel instead
10:40So, who do you think this stuff is from Josh I haven't smoked her out yet, but she certainly has
10:45Exquisite taste doesn't have a bad eye for jewelry either
10:52It was like this last night it was all I could do to keep my beard down
10:58Lucky there
11:03That's Tina Dalton we dated last summer
11:08And now it turns out she's in the cafe just as this little bauble arrives
11:18Coincidence, I think not
11:23Frazier before you go over there Niles, please. I've had enough of your finger wagging
11:27I am doing what any red-blooded American man would do God sakes nothing wrong with playing the field
11:32It looks like you've been eating the field. What did you have for lunch?
11:37Pesto, oh my god. All right, I better go freshen up
11:44This mess
11:46That's too bad, it's not bubble wrap
11:49You don't know what funny is until you see Eddie go at a sheet of that stuff
11:57Yes, all scared runs away and then
12:02Screws up his courage and comes back again property property runs away
12:10As I watched him for an hour one time, you know, it's amazing how an attendee could be by something so simple
12:31Oh
12:35My
12:37What is it this card that came with the gift
12:42Frazier must not have noticed it missing you every moment my dear sweet Niles
12:51Do you realize what this means? Yeah, you're the one with the secret admirer and a pretty nice watch, too
13:02I
13:04Don't get this how could this happen? Well
13:09The other gift was left in Frazier's squash bag, which is exactly like mine and I
13:15Guess today the waitress must have mistaken Frazier for me
13:20You don't suppose it's Daphne, yeah, she took the second job washing that old mrs. Lumpkins hair just so she could give you a Cartier
13:28Besides the note said it's someone you've been with
13:35And so few women since Maris there were so few women before Maris
13:41Hence there was Maris
13:43I'll bet it is nice. You said you saw that watch on your honeymoon
13:47That's that's absurd. Deb. We're in the process of finalizing a divorce. Excuse me, miss
13:52Do you remember the woman who brought this box in? Yeah, she was a very well-dressed and really really thin
14:01That could be a lot of people yeah, she just dropped off the gift and then ordered a whole milk mocha with whipped cream and
14:07chocolate shavings
14:11Yeah, it was really weird though she took a really long whiff of it and then just handed it back
14:22You
14:30Well, thank you Marta you've been very helpful
14:34Well turns out Shankman dropped Maris and now she wants me back again, oh
14:40That was fun
14:42Had a little catching up to do but it turns out she wasn't the woman sending the gifts. Yeah, we know the gifts are from Maris
14:52It's my secret admirer
14:58No, she sent them to me
15:02Shankman dumped her and and she wants me back. How do you feel about this? Well, frankly, I feel a little injured
15:09I thought I had a secret
15:13Well, no matter I do have a date with Nancy tonight, you know, it's our third date I was talking to Niles oh
15:22I
15:23Guess I'll just have to go over and and talk to Maris and and set her straight. He's not I don't know
15:29That's a very good idea. Well, I'm up to my ears in debt
15:32I need to sign this settlement and she'll never do that
15:35If she thinks there's any hope of us getting back together
15:37Yes, it just seems a little dangerous to me confronting him when she's so vulnerable. Don't you agree dad? Don't ask me
15:43I'm just the ice cream man. Well
15:46Thanks a lot listen Niles
15:48I think this whole pursuit of you has been brought on by a panicked reaction to Shankman dumping her, you know
15:54Give her a few days. She'll probably realize that herself. That's the time when you should approach her
15:59I can't wait any longer
16:00You have any idea how insulting it is that she thinks she can buy me back with these trinkets
16:04I am I am this close to being free from her financially and emotionally. I'm going to settle this right now Niles
16:09I just think you should wait
16:16Well, they certainly dashed out of here in a hurry I
16:21Suppose that's a good thing. No. Yeah, he's not gonna back down that and he forgot these cufflinks. I've got a date tonight
16:35Oh
16:36Daphne thanks again for taking dad over to Niles's for me
16:39I mean I would do it myself, but since you are going out
16:42I'm going to a party three floors down from here
16:48Gosh I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I didn't mean for you to miss any of the fun dad
16:54Shake a leg Daphne's in a hurry
16:58No, frankly, I'm really glad he's going over there no idea what condition Niles will be in after he confronts Maris
17:04Yeah, it's a shame about dr. And mrs. Crane seems so difficult these days to make something last
17:11To find someone to grow old with and share all of life's little details
17:15I only hope someday I'll find that kind of intimacy. I'm sure you will Daphne
17:23In your sleeve where it always is
17:26Now come on, let's get going. There's construction by the waterfront. Oh, we're not going that way. We're taking my shortcut
17:32I know your shortcuts and the waterfronts faster. Don't start with me. Don't you start with me or I'll leave you here
17:40Come on
17:43I'm returning on my radio station in the car. Fine. It's better than listening to you talk
17:51Is this a bad time no, no, no, that's a bad time
17:56Boy you look sensational
17:58Thank you. So do you? Oh, thank you very much. Can I interest you in a glass of wine?
18:04Perfect. Lovely. I've been here before, you know two years ago for your Christmas party. Really? I
18:10Don't remember this chair. Oh, well normally there's something draped over it my father. Oh
18:18There's a message on your machine must have come in while I was cooking dinner
18:21I only mentioned it because I gave my secretary your number so she can call me about tomorrow morning's conference in case
18:28You know, I don't find my way home tonight. Oh, well, you just reversed the directions. I gave you earlier
18:39I
18:43Feel free to check the machine if you like, I'll just go stir the resort. Oh
18:50Frazier this is Cheryl returning your call. And no
18:59It's over
19:02Well, he's that old message still on
19:05Sure, I broke up so long ago. I can't even remember when
19:12I
19:16Know it was a Friday. Oh
19:19well
19:20We all have exes as long as it's over. It is over, right? Oh god. Yes. It certainly is over. Oh, Nancy
19:28Come sit with me
19:30Listen, I want to tell you all right. I'm not interested in
19:34Anyone but you
19:42You know, perhaps I better get that that could be your secretary Oh
19:49Frazier
19:56You prankster
19:59No, no, no, I won't no absolutely not. I promise never again
20:10Well, how about we have that dinner now
20:18Why would I like to you I have nothing to hide
20:21Oh
20:27Yes, just a moment, uh
20:30She was secretary
20:32Hi, Gwen. Call me in the car in five minutes. I'm going home. No, Nancy
20:38Nancy, please
20:39Please please. Oh, please. Don't be hasty. I I realize I've done something rather foolish. Let's let me explain Nancy
20:47Look the truth is I did call some women. I guess I was feeling insecure and a
20:53Little nervous about getting close to you. I don't blame you for being angry and I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
21:01it's just that I I
21:03Think we really have something here
21:06Well, I thought we had something too. I
21:09made a mistake I
21:12Give me another chance
21:15Well, that risotto did
21:24Madeline I got that nugget left under my door. I am so sorry about I was so happy to hear from you
21:32Really I
21:34Was just thinking about you the other day, you know, I don't even remember why we stopped seeing each other what is
21:42This again
21:45This date is over. Well, wait a minute
21:48You slipped a note under my door and you were on a date with her. Well, you heard it technically the state is over
21:58Don't ever call me again or me you freak
22:04Nancy Madeline, please. Give me a second chance either one of you
22:13So that definitely takes a left on Madison
22:16Oh put a bumper all the way to Pike then a right on Pike. Oh, what do you know?
22:20Kingdome traffic, so I say dear God, this is taking forever
22:25exactly
22:27Wait, wait, don't go away. I'm coming Oh
22:32Frazier I have just had one of the worst experiences of my life
22:36He's at Madison didn't you're as bad as Daphne and what you should have done. Oh
22:43I
22:46Was your date well Nancy discovered that I had been pursuing other women
22:52What?
22:53How did she find that out? It wasn't hard
22:56You see I pursued one during the date
23:01Well, I I'm I'm sorry, yes, I'm I've crashed well, thanks guys I just I
23:07Should have listened to your advice Niles
23:10How do things go with Maris, I wish I knew I
23:15Returned the gifts and told her there was no chance of reconciliation. She didn't get mad back. She was eerily calm
23:22She just stood there with a blank stare on her face
23:27robbing her ocelot
23:33You know, they got a cream for that
23:40You
23:46Know maybe she'll come around you've given her a lot to digest. Oh
23:55No, what is it? Oh
23:59Dear God
24:01Believe I
24:04Thought I made myself perfectly clear what is wrong with that woman? Why don't you start Frazier? I'll jump in when you get a horse
24:24Roses are red. Your heart is fickle when I'm through with you
24:29All you'll have left is this nickel
24:33Oh
24:36God she's going to ruin me. No, no Niles, you know, maybe she's just bluffing for God's sakes
24:41I mean once she signed the financial settlement, it's just she's not bluffing
24:46This is the financial settlement
24:52Frazier why did I go over there? Why didn't I listen to you?
24:57Why didn't I listen to you?
25:00If I had I'd be sitting with Nancy right now sipping wine in front of the fire
25:07I'll be stripped clean and devoured like an animal and I won't be
25:17All right now enough of these long faces
25:24Who wants ice cream?
25:29You
25:52Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling tossed salads and scrambled eggs
25:59Oh my
26:00And maybe I seem a bit confused. Well, maybe but I got you
26:09But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs
26:16They're calling again
26:20Frazier has left the building
