00:00Roz, say why all the catalogs? I need to buy a present. Tiffany, Cartier, Neiman Marcus.
00:11So does anything look good to you here? Well let's see who could we be shopping for?
00:18Perhaps a honey-voiced radiotherapist whose birthday is just around the corner?
00:23No, this present is not for you, it's for your brother. Oh all right, Roz, listen, don't be coy.
00:31I think it's very smart you are fishing for hints like this. You want to avoid a misstep
00:35like you made last year. What misstep? You said you loved Pagliacci. Yes, the opera,
00:40not a little porcelain crying clown figurine. Look, Niles pulled some strings and got Alice
00:48on a list for a really good preschool, so I thought I'd just get him a little thank you
00:52gift, which is why I was asking for your stupid opinion in the first place, but forget it. All
00:57right, just figure it out for myself. Have it your own way, that's fine, but I'll tell you what,
01:02don't get him a porcelain Pagliacci. He already has one.
01:14Hi, dear. Hey, Frank. You'll never guess who I just saw. I went over for a cup of coffee with Hank.
01:21You remember Hank? He's a security guard who works at Weston's Jewelry Store. Anyway, we were in his
01:28booth just shooting the breeze and looking at the surveillance monitors, and who do I see buying an
01:33engagement ring but Donnie, as in Daphne and Donnie. Donnie, are you sure? Yeah, engagement rings is
01:44Tina's kind of, we use the zoom lens on her. Dad, I'm shocked. Oh, no, it's just innocent fun. She only dresses
01:52that way because she knows we're looking at her. I mean, about Daphne and Donnie, I didn't realize
01:58they were this serious. Well, they spend all that time together. This is gonna crush Niles. Yeah, I know.
02:05You think we should tell him? No, it's none of our business. We do not tell Niles, and we definitely
02:10do not tell Daphne. Tell Daphne what? Nothing. It's bad news, isn't it? No, it's not bad news.
02:18Is it about my mom? Did they find something during the physical? They did, didn't they?
02:22I have to call her. No, Daphne, no, no, no. There is absolutely no news. And even if there were, it's not up to us
02:30to tell you about it. Who should tell me then? The head surgeon? Our family minister? No. The mortician?
02:37Oh, God, I've got to pack. I hope I'm not too late. I just saw Donnie buying you an engagement ring.
02:43That is the news. Really? I don't believe it. I'm gonna get married. I'm so excited.
02:53I'm gonna be a Mrs. Mrs. Donnie Douglas. Mrs. Donald Ronald Douglas. Oh, God.
03:01I guess we're gonna have to prepare Niles now. He's on his way over here.
03:08Well, don't tell him here. I don't want to go into pieces in front of Daphne.
03:13I guess I can tell him at the restaurant. Well, just don't take him to one of those
03:17fancy wine bistros that you guys love. News like this calls for hard liquor and big glasses.
03:25Whatever it is, I just think it's best that Niles hear it from me and not from Daphne.
03:30Hear what from Daphne?
03:35I'll tell you at the restaurant. No, I don't want to wait till we get to the bistro.
03:39You're just gonna have to wait. And you're not going to any bistro.
03:47Well, fine. If you won't tell me, then I'll just ask Daphne myself.
03:51Niles, wait. Truth is, Daphne's mother is dying.
04:03Oh, dear God. Yes. Tragic, isn't it?
04:07Yes. You know, she's gonna need all the support that we can give her.
04:12Evening, Dr. Crane. Well, come on, Niles. We don't want to lose our table.
04:16Did you hear the news? I just did. What can I say?
04:21Oh. I've thought about this day ever since I was a little girl.
04:29I'm sure you have. It's even better than I thought it would be.
04:36I can already picture the big day. Beautiful flowers everywhere.
04:42A sea of smiling faces. Oh, and I suppose everyone will want to have their picture
04:48taken with the lady of the hour. You know, maybe Daphne could use a little quiet time.
04:59No one can be quiet. I'm so happy. Donny's gonna ask me to marry him.
05:06What? Now, come the big day,
05:09you'll all sit right up front with my family, because that's what you are to me, family.
05:14Now, that's what you are to us, too, Daph. Oh, I am so thrilled for you.
05:20Oh, thank you. Thank you all.
05:29I'm sorry, son. You want to talk?
05:34Oh, no. Frazier, if you wouldn't mind, I'm gonna cancel dinner. I need to be alone.
05:41Of course, of course. Look, if you need me, call.
05:48Ah, poor kid. Oh, he'll be all right, Dad, you know.
05:53Niles is, uh, a lot stronger than we give him credit for.
06:01Hello? Hold the elevator. I'll be right there.
06:06Hang in there, son. He's on his way.
06:17Yes? This came while you were in session.
06:23It's from a Roz Doyle. She wanted to thank you for a favor that you did.
06:29I'll be off now.
06:35All right. Good night, Mrs. Woodson.
06:44Come in, Mrs. Woodson. I'm afraid it's me, Dr. Creed.
06:50Daphne, what are you doing here? I know I should have called first,
06:54but I need to talk to you. It's sort of a private matter, and I hoped we could talk here.
07:00Well, it's not really appropriate for me to act as your therapist,
07:05but it's just advice from a friend that you need. I'm happy to lend an ear.
07:10What's on your mind? Well,
07:15I don't think I can marry Donny. I think there's someone else I'm meant to be with.
07:23Who is it? It's Mrs. Woodson.
07:25Oh, for God's sake, go home!
07:30I'm sorry for that interruption. Anyway, this man you're meant to be with,
07:39who is he? I'm afraid I can't say.
07:43Yes, you can. We're the only ones here. Are you sure you won't laugh at me?
07:49How could you possibly think I would laugh at you?
07:51Well, most people would if I told them I'd seen the love of my life in a psychic vision.
07:55Well, most people aren't... What?
08:00You know how I have these psychic flashes from time to time. Well, I had one last night.
08:06Oh, you had a vision about the love of your life. Okay, well, tell me about it.
08:16Here. Aunt Daphne, omit nothing.
08:22All right. I was straightening up the living room when I had a sudden flash of a wedding
08:30ceremony for Donny and me. Oh, it was lovely. The church was packed to the rafters.
08:37Me mum was there in a peach silk, looking very smart. Me brother's in their suits.
08:43You know, I may have led you in the wrong direction with the omit nothing business.
08:47Feel free to skip ahead. Right. Well,
08:51my father had just walked me up to the altar and I was standing there facing Donny.
08:57He looked quite natty. Black tuxedo, tails very slimy.
09:01We're skipping?
09:06Well, then the vicar began the ceremony.
09:10He asked if anyone had a reason why we shouldn't wed and that's when this...
09:17Well, this person stood up and said that he did.
09:22He said that he was the true love of my life, though he'd never had the courage to say so.
09:29I feel so awkward telling you all this. Don't. I think I know who this person is.
09:36You do? Yes.
09:37Well, I don't see how you could. I couldn't tell myself.
09:42He was standing in the shadows and I couldn't see his face.
09:46All I could make out was that he was wearing a red bow tie.
09:53I don't have a clue why anyone would wear such a thing to a wedding.
10:02Heavens, I can't believe I'm talking about my visions to a psychiatrist.
10:07Your brother would think I was daft.
10:09Well, Fraser's never really shared my mystical spiritual bent.
10:18This does mean I'm gonna have to turn down Donny's proposal.
10:23You don't think that will be crazy? Not at all.
10:28Then you really believe in psychic visions too?
10:31I do. Oh, thank you, Dr. Crane.
10:34That means a lot to me.
10:36Of course, if I can't marry Donny, I can't very well go on dating him.
10:42That would just be leading him on. That's very true.
10:47I don't know how I'm gonna break it off with him.
10:51Well, if you want to write a letter, I have stationary and a fax machine.
10:58No, I have to tell him to his face.
11:02I do hate to let him go, though.
11:05I know it's hard, but it's the only ethical thing to do.
11:10You're right.
11:15Now I see why people come to you.
11:18You always point them in the right direction.
11:22Well, I'd be a poor excuse for a psychiatrist if I didn't.
11:26Hello, Dad. Hey, Frank.
11:42What's Eddie doing?
11:44Every time the school's over, he comes to me and he says,
11:47What's Eddie doing?
11:56Every time this cooking show comes on, he rolls over and watches it upside down.
12:00He likes all the pouring they do.
12:03He thinks it's funny the way the food goes up instead of down.
12:10Evening.
12:12Hey, Daph.
12:15Johnny called.
12:16Said he'd be here about eight.
12:17Do you think he'll pop the question tonight?
12:21I hope not.
12:22What's the matter?
12:25I've decided to break up with him tonight.
12:28What?
12:29You wanted to marry him yesterday.
12:31Well, you know how I have these visions from time to time.
12:36And don't tell Dr. Crane.
12:37Well...
12:38Don't tell me what?
12:39Nothing.
12:40It's my car again, isn't it?
12:44It's not your bloody car.
12:46She's breaking up with Donny because of some vision.
12:48I asked you not to mention that.
12:51What vision?
12:53I know you'll make fun of me, but I had a vision that I'm meant to be with another man.
12:59Who?
13:00I couldn't see his face.
13:01I don't know anything about him.
13:03He was just wearing a red bow tie.
13:07You're seriously going to dump Donny because of some psychic vision?
13:11Don't you think that's a little unwise?
13:13Well, your brother didn't think so.
13:18Niles knows about this?
13:20Yes.
13:21He helped me to see that ending things with Donny was my only choice.
13:25Unlike you, he believes in my visions.
13:28He knows I have a gift.
13:32Yes, but he's been trying to unwrap it for six years.
13:43That'll be Donny.
13:46What do you think about all this vision stuff?
13:49Obviously, there's some psychological reason that she's having second thoughts.
13:53It's got nothing to do with him.
13:55An apparition in a red bow tie.
14:06Niles, you jackass, will you take that thing off?
14:13I admit it's a departure for me, but I'm feeling a bit kicky today.
14:18Yes, I know.
14:20Daphne told us how you encouraged her to follow her vision and to dump Donny.
14:24I am astonished at your lack of integrity.
14:27Now, will you take that damn thing off?
14:29What the hell did you hope to accomplish with that anyway?
14:32I was simply trying to nudge Daphne into the realization that I am the man in her vision.
14:37Niles!
14:38All right.
14:39Why else would she come to me?
14:41Surely you of all people realize that there is some psychological basis for these visions of hers.
14:47It represents a fear of some kind.
14:51A fear of intimacy.
14:53A fear of commitment.
14:55A fear of the Windsor knot.
14:57Who knows?
15:00Wasn't that Donny at the door?
15:02No, no.
15:03Just Niles.
15:04Daphne.
15:05You know, we were just discussing these visions of yours.
15:09Look, I'm in no mood to be mocked.
15:13I'm not mocking you, Daphne.
15:15And I'm not trying to influence you in any way either.
15:20It's just that I was wondering, um...
15:23Have these psychic warnings ever, ever come to you before?
15:28Say, at a critical juncture in a relationship?
15:32No.
15:35Well, actually, yes.
15:38Once, when my first boyfriend proposed,
15:41I had a vision telling me there was someone better waiting.
15:44Which there was. Clive.
15:46But you dumped Clive.
15:48Look, I don't have time for this right now.
15:52Oh, yes.
15:54No fear of commitment there.
15:56Well, it's just as possible that she knew those men were wrong for her.
16:01Isn't that right, Dad?
16:02Oh, wait me out of this. I'm just looking for my TV guide.
16:05Well, I could use a little support here.
16:07Well, maybe that's why I said to leave me out of it.
16:10I'm sorry, Niles. I want you to be happy.
16:13But I'm with your brother on this.
16:17Niles, the fact is you don't know what causes these visions.
16:22And yet you still advised her to walk away from a wonderful relationship.
16:27It doesn't make you much of a psychiatrist.
16:31That's your opinion.
16:33Yes, well, here's a second opinion.
16:35It doesn't make you much of a friend.
16:45You sure you didn't throw it away with the recycling?
16:48Are you actually looking for your TV guide?
16:50Well, I have to plan my weekend.
16:55You really do have the world on a string, don't you, Dad?
16:59Look, Daphne, I've been thinking about our talk this afternoon.
17:03I'm not sure I gave you the best advice I could have.
17:07Perhaps what you call a vision is really a fear.
17:12A fear of commitment, say.
17:14That would explain why these visions come to you when your relationships turn serious.
17:21Mind you, I can't tell you that I think Donnie is the right person for you.
17:27But I wouldn't want you to end things with him for the wrong reasons.
17:36Do you understand?
17:38Yeah.
17:40You're just like your brother after all.
17:43This afternoon you were just humoring me, weren't you?
17:46No, Daphne.
17:47Look at the idiot from Manchester.
17:49She thinks she has visions.
17:51No, no, I'm saying that I think there are psychological issues here
17:54that you just don't entirely appreciate.
17:57Well, how could I?
17:59I'm just some nut who believes in fate.
18:02Well, I've always followed my visions.
18:04Your pity's not going to change that.
18:07That'll be Donnie.
18:09Come on if you get the door.
18:13Well, you've seen me do it enough times.
18:15You just turn the handle and pull.
18:18You just turn the handle and pull.
18:27Oh, Donnie.
18:28Hi, Frasier.
18:29Hi.
18:30Hey.
18:31Is Daphne ready?
18:32She'll be out in a minute.
18:34Oh, that's good. Great.
18:36Oh, what's that you're drinking there?
18:38Sherry.
18:39Yeah.
18:40Yeah, I'll have one.
18:42So, how's business?
18:44Well, actually, I've cut down on my caseload
18:46because I want to spend more time with Daphne.
18:49Don't tell her this,
18:50but I've booked us on an Alaskan vacation next month.
18:53You know, here it's one of the few places left
18:55where you can feel completely alone.
18:58Oh.
18:59You like that feeling, huh?
19:08Oh.
19:09Donnie.
19:10Hi, honey.
19:11Oh.
19:12I...
19:13I...
19:16Oh.
19:17You look pretty.
19:18You, too.
19:19Shall we be on our way, then?
19:21Well, actually, I've got something on my mind
19:24that I kind of like to talk about first.
19:27Oh, stop.
19:28We'll just...
19:29No, no, no, no, no.
19:30It's...
19:31I'd like you to stay here for this.
19:33If it wasn't for all of you,
19:34then I never would have met Daphne.
19:37Donnie, I think it would be best...
19:38No, it's okay. Sit.
19:43Maybe I'll just have a little bit of this, sherry.
19:51You know, I thought that being a divorce attorney
19:54would have just soured me on relationships,
19:57and then I met you,
20:00and I find myself telling my clients to reconcile,
20:04because I think that if they could find
20:07even just a tiny little bit of the happiness
20:10that I found with you,
20:13they could make it.
20:15You know, I've been thinking about that time
20:18we went to the little bed-and-breakfast in the country,
20:21and we sat in that porch swing all night
20:25and looked at the sky.
20:27You told me that your dad and you used to sit on your stoop
20:31and do the same thing when you were a kid.
20:34He said...
20:35that the only man good enough for you
20:38would scoop the stars out of the sky
20:41with his hat and lay them at your feet.
20:47Well...
20:51I've, um...
20:55I've only caught this one so far,
20:58but if you'll accept it,
21:01I'll spend my life chasing down the rest of them for you.
21:05I know it's very soon,
21:08so just think about it.
21:13I don't have to think about it.
21:17Yes!
21:18Yes.
21:19Oh, God, it's beautiful.
21:22Oh, darling.
21:24Oh, God.
21:26Oh, Dad.
21:29Hey, boys, give me a break.
21:31You look more beautiful than I am.
21:34Hey, boys, give me a break.
21:35You look more surprised than I do.
21:41We're just so happy for you.
21:44Yes, that's wonderful.
21:46Wonderful.
21:47Hey, congratulations.
21:50Oh, excuse me, I need to, uh...
21:52Yes, champagne.
21:53Let me help you.
21:58Oh, Niles.
22:01I'm so sorry.
22:04It's all right.
22:09Frazier, why don't you take this champagne in there?
22:15We're gonna stay out here for a second.
22:17All right.
22:23I'd do anything to fix this for you.
22:26I know.
22:30It's my own fault.
22:32I had chance after chance to tell her how I feel,
22:34and I always kept my mouth shut.
22:38Till tonight, when I probably should have.
22:42Well, you can't regret what you said.
22:45It was the right thing to do.
22:47And that's something I can always count on from you.
22:53Thanks, Dad.
22:58Oh, I'm gonna get you some of that champagne.
23:00Oh, yummy.
23:01Just a second, Dr. Green.
23:05I'm sorry I got cross with you.
23:09Once I thought about what you said,
23:11it really made sense,
23:13and then when Donnie did ask me,
23:15it was fear I felt,
23:17just like you told me.
23:19I figured the best way to overcome it
23:22was to just jump in with both feet.
23:26Thank you for your help.
23:31I wish you the very best, Daphne.
23:34Hey, hey, hey, don't squeeze so hard.
23:36That's a precious commodity right there.
23:38My number one client.
23:48Still looking for that TV, Gary?
23:51Yeah, it's the damnedest thing.
23:54What are you still doing up?
23:56Where's Donnie?
23:58He's on the phone with my folks.
24:00He really is wonderful, Mr. Crane.
24:03I'm very happy for you, Daph.
24:10Oh, my God.
24:13I just had that vision again.
24:16Only this time,
24:18well, that's a bit scary.
24:21My mystery man is standing with some sort of dragon.
24:25A dragon?
24:27Yes.
24:28Yes, that makes no sense.
24:30It must be just what Dr. Crane said.
24:33These visions are about my fears.
24:35Ah, yes.
24:37Imagine spending the rest of my life
24:39looking for some poor bloke with a dragon.
24:46Wow.
24:49That's weird.
24:51What?
24:53I just had a vision myself.
24:55What is it?
24:57It's a mystery woman.
25:00She's standing in the kitchen.
25:03She's making me a Monte Cristo sandwich.
25:09Oh, brother.
25:11No, it's just grilled cheese.
25:13Make it yourself, you lazy old thumb.
25:27Oh.
25:35Oh, Roz.
25:52Hey, baby, I hear the blues are coming
25:56Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling
25:58Tossed salads and scrambled eggs
26:01Oh, my.
26:04And maybe I seem a bit confused
26:07Well, maybe.
26:08But I got you pegged
26:10Ha, ha, ha, ha
26:13But I don't know what to do
26:15With those tossed salads and scrambled eggs
26:20They're calling again
26:23Good night, everybody.
26:25Good night.
