00:00Go for some fried eggs and bacon.
00:02Here's your brown flake.
00:03Oh, fine.
00:13Ooh, hot!
00:21Don't give him any toast!
00:22I'm not!
00:30Lifestyle, sports, and recycling.
00:41Yes, we see you, Eddie.
00:43Eight o'clock on the dot.
00:45Well, he's a dog.
00:46What do you expect?
00:47He's a creature of habit.
00:52Good morning, old man.
00:54Hey, Fred.
00:55How's it going?
00:56Good morning.
00:57Say, Dad, do you remember that woman I went out with
00:59on Valentine's Day, but I wasn't quite sure
01:01if it was a romantic thing?
01:04Yeah, that new publicity woman at the station.
01:06Yes, Cassandra Stone.
01:08Well, I asked her out again last night,
01:10and I got my answer.
01:12Oh, I'm sorry, Fred.
01:18No, I'm not finished.
01:20That's the spirit.
01:21You hang in there.
01:24You know, Dr. Crane,
01:26someone once said that long periods of abstinence
01:28can actually refresh the soul.
01:30Good morning, everyone.
01:31Yes, well, that someone was me, and I was full of it.
01:33Everyone, this is Cassandra.
01:37You must be Frasier's dad.
01:39I've heard all about you.
01:40Marty Crane.
01:41Nice to meet you.
01:43Well, nice to meet you, too.
01:47You are so cute.
01:49Now I see where Frasier got those gorgeous eyes.
01:54And this is Daphne Moon,
01:56my father's home health care worker.
01:58Hello.
02:00You gonna join us for breakfast, Cassandra?
02:02Oh, I could go for an English muffin.
02:04Well, perhaps our own English muffin could fetch that for you.
02:11Or I could get it.
02:12No, I'll get it myself.
02:16Way to go, Frasier. I like her.
02:19Gee, I wonder why.
02:21Now I see where Frasier gets those gorgeous eyes.
02:27Niles, hurry up and get dressed.
02:30Frasier will lose our court.
02:32I must warn you, I may be unbeatable today.
02:35Our squash pro, Ottavio, taught me a backhand slice
02:38could shave the bristles off a kiwi fruit.
02:40Niles, I'm afraid we may have to reschedule today.
02:45I... see, I had a... a date last night.
02:49Oh, I'm sorry.
02:52Hey, but there's no sense moping around.
02:55A brisk game of squash will be the best thing for you.
02:58I can't think of a better way to lift your spirits.
03:00Good morning.
03:01Keep thinking.
03:10I tell you, Ross, the entire evening was pure magic.
03:15Well, I'm happy for you.
03:17You have been in a dry spell, haven't you?
03:20Oh, no, Ross, actually, that was just the calm before the storm.
03:23I assure you, we are in the midst of a full-blown love hurricane.
03:31You were so much easier to be around when you were horny and pathetic.
03:34Oh.
03:36I'm sorry, Ross, I have been monopolizing the conversation.
03:39So, what's going on with you?
03:41Well, actually, it has been a really exciting week.
03:46Of course, Alice's first birthday party is this Sunday.
03:49Wow.
03:50And we're having 12 of her little friends over.
03:52Uh-huh.
03:53She loves bears.
03:55So the whole party's going to be this bear theme.
03:57Party favors, bear cake.
04:00I'm going to dress up like a bear, I think, and do a little bear dance.
04:10So that's really great about you and Cassandra.
04:12Yes.
04:13We're really hitting it off, I think.
04:16Frazier?
04:19Hey.
04:20Hi.
04:21Oh, my God.
04:23Wow.
04:24Hey.
04:25Hi, it's been a while.
04:28Gosh, oh, Faye Moskowitz, this is my producer, Ross Doyle.
04:31Hi.
04:32How are you?
04:33So, what have you been up to?
04:36Well, I just got back from Paris.
04:38Really?
04:39I didn't even know you'd gone.
04:41You didn't get my message.
04:43Cassandra, before I forget, Faye called.
04:45She's going to France for a month.
04:48I'm sorry.
04:51Well, it's great to see you.
04:53We should get together for coffee sometime.
04:55I'd love to.
04:56Well, I'm on my way out.
04:57Why don't you take my seat?
04:59Uh, thanks, if that's all right with you.
05:01Of course.
05:02Great.
05:03Well, I'll put some money in my meter.
05:07What are you doing?
05:08I can't have coffee with her.
05:10Why not?
05:11Obviously, she's still interested.
05:12I'm seeing Cassandra, for God's sakes.
05:14I can't date two people at once.
05:17Well, it doesn't have to be on the same night.
05:19Although, if you're good at faking a headache and you don't mind getting changed in the car...
05:23Ross.
05:25Well, did you tell Cassandra you were going to be exclusive to her?
05:30No.
05:32So, then you're just dating.
05:34Relax.
05:36It's supposed to be fun.
05:37Just see where it takes you.
05:39Well, that sort of lifestyle is all right for some people, but not for me.
05:43I'm a one-woman man.
05:46If that.
05:49Okay, suit yourself.
05:50Keep it platonic.
05:52Well, it's easy for you to say.
05:54When you tell somebody that you're attracted to them, you just can't sleep with them.
05:59I guess you just say...
06:03You just say...
06:06I'll ask around.
06:11You know what I feel like this morning?
06:13Some French toast and sausage patties.
06:16Here's your brown flakes.
06:17Oh, God.
06:26Ooh, hot.
06:33You're not giving him any toast, are you?
06:35Of course not.
06:40Oh, morning.
06:41Morning.
06:42I didn't pay you to come in last night.
06:45Do you have a date?
06:50Well, I guess that answers that.
06:52Well, he's up there.
06:54Cassandra's a great gal.
06:56Women like her don't come along every day.
06:58Morning.
07:00No, they certainly don't.
07:05Dad?
07:06Daphne?
07:07You remember Fay?
07:08Hi, Martin.
07:09It's good to see you again.
07:10Likewise.
07:11And Daphne, you look gorgeous.
07:14Did you get your hair cut since the last time I saw you?
07:16Oh, yes, I did.
07:19Can I fix you some breakfast?
07:24I have really got to run.
07:26I'm running late.
07:27And I still have to call my friend at the museum to get tickets for that sarat exhibit.
07:31I just hope it's not sold out.
07:33Well, if it is, okay, sarat, sarat.
07:37That was funnier the first time.
07:39Yeah.
07:44What happened to Cassandra?
07:45Obviously, he duped her for someone better.
07:48I haven't duped anyone.
07:50What?
07:51You mean you're dating both of them?
07:53Oh, no, I didn't intend to.
07:55Well, I ran into Fay yesterday, and I was about to tell her about Cassandra.
07:59It's just that we were enjoying our coffee so much that coffee turned into dinner,
08:04and then dinner turned into drinks, and then drinks turned into, uh, well, coffee again.
08:15Damn!
08:16I completely forgot I rescheduled squash with Noyles.
08:20Don't be angry at me for still being in my room.
08:24I won't.
08:25I wish I were in mine.
08:26Oh, Cassandra, what a surprise.
08:29Brought you some pastries.
08:30Oh, isn't that thoughtful of you?
08:33Hi, Martin.
08:34Dixie.
08:35Cassandra!
08:38You know, I'd love it if you could stay.
08:40It's just that I've got to go pick up my brother for a game of squash.
08:43Morning, Paul.
08:44Well, isn't that a time saver?
08:49You know, I've still got to go get dressed anyway, and I'll just see you back at the station.
08:54Okay.
08:55All right.
08:56Have a good game.
08:57Oh, you know, I'll just use the powder room.
09:04This is a disaster!
09:08What is?
09:09Hi, Niles.
09:10Oh, I'm up to speed.
09:19Morning.
09:20Well, I guess I'll just be...
09:22Shh!
09:23What?
09:24Oh, we just noticed there's a nest of baby hummingbirds on the balcony.
09:31And we're just keeping our voices down.
09:33You run along.
09:35Hummingbirds made it to the 19th floor?
09:37Yes.
09:39Well, they're Himalayan mountain hummers.
09:43They're very rare.
09:44Bye-bye.
09:45Okay.
09:46I'll see you later.
09:55What are you doing?
09:56I was just standing guard.
09:59The door is...
10:01The lock's broken.
10:04Well, I know you've got your game, so I'll just get out of your hair.
10:11Right.
10:12Right.
10:13Goodbye, everyone.
10:14Bye.
10:15Aren't I going to get a hug first?
10:16Come on.
10:17Of course.
10:18Are you all right?
10:19Oh, yes.
10:20It's just...
10:21It's so hard to say goodbye to.
10:22Well, time's a-wasting.
10:23Off you go.
10:25Bye-bye.
10:28Got anymore hiding in the grotto, Hess?
10:33Oh.
10:34Oh, for God's sake.
10:37Oh, I'm just not up to this sort of thing.
10:41What made me think I could juggle?
10:43I sure as hell am not.
10:45I've been there.
10:46I know the way.
10:47Oh, no.
10:48I've been there.
10:49I've been there.
10:50I've been there.
10:51I've been there.
10:52I've been there.
10:53I sure as hell don't know. You couldn't catch a balloon until you were ten.
10:59Yes, thank you, Dad.
11:02You see, my problem is that each of them appeals to different sides of my personality.
11:07Faye is artistic, and cerebral, and cultured, and Cassandra is passionate, and fun, and spontaneous.
11:16Well, my vote sure goes for Cassandra.
11:19Oh, you would say that. Any young woman who shows you any attention, you're ready to sign over your pension check.
11:27I think you should go for Faye.
11:29Oh, Faye, Faye, if you want some boring artsy-fartsy conversation, he's got miles.
11:41Yes, well, my point is I am really torn here. I feel as if I honestly cannot choose.
11:47I think I might be able to help you with this.
11:51Heads, it's Faye. Tails, Cassandra.
11:54Oh, this is the sort of thing that makes a woman feel really special.
12:00Miles, you're actually going to flip a coin? The decision cannot be made that simply.
12:04Oh, it's not going to be that simple, but chances of Miles catching that quarter are about the same as you.
12:08Enough, Dad!
12:11Just go with me on this, Frasier. Heads, it's Faye. Tails, Cassandra.
12:25And the winner is...
12:28Admit it. You want me to say one name more than the other.
12:32That's right, I do. Cassandra.
12:35Yes!
12:40There you have it. Thank you. Thank you, Nas. Wow. What a relief.
12:45You know, my life was perfectly happy before Faye came back, you know it?
12:50Yes. It's Cassandra. She's the one.
12:54Next time I see Faye, I'll just have to tell her it's over.
13:00Oh, gosh, Nas, I'm sorry. I'm afraid we've lost our court again.
13:03Do you mind rescheduling just once more?
13:05All right.
13:07I gotta hand it to you, Frasier. You had a tough decision to make, but you made it.
13:11Heck, I can't even decide whether to have the strawberry or the grape jelly.
13:16Well, Dad, I still have my trusty quarter. Let's say heads, grape. Tails, strawberry.
13:22Oh!
13:36You gotta wonder what goes on on that squash court.
13:45You know what I could go for this morning? A big old Spanish omelette.
13:49Here's your brown flakes.
13:53What's that?
13:55Your yellow ball broke in the dishwasher.
13:57Well, don't you have another one?
13:59Afraid not.
14:01Well, red, yellow, what difference does it make?
14:07Oh, sorry.
14:11Oh!
14:19Ooh, hot!
14:27Now, I don't like this red ball. It's thrown everything off.
14:33You know, I think we do have another yellow ball.
14:38Why don't you go and sit down and I'll fetch it for you?
14:41Okay.
14:45Back off. I need this.
14:49Walt, good morning, dear.
14:51Everything go all right with Faye last night?
14:53She didn't take the break-up too hard, did she?
14:56Not really.
14:58Well, I'm sure she realizes, pretty as she is, that she won't be alone for long.
15:04Good morning, Martin.
15:06What did I tell you?
15:08Hi, how you doing? I'll get this.
15:12I had an incredible time last night.
15:15Me, too.
15:17Morning, Walt.
15:19Oh, forget it.
15:28Niles.
15:29Frasier.
15:31Glad you're here. I'm so sorry about this morning.
15:34Oh, not at all. I ended up playing an exhilarating game with Chip Emery.
15:38Won two out of three sets, and if you recall, Chip was club champion four years running.
15:43Yes, and I also recall that that record comes with an asterisk.
15:48I believe his streak was interrupted by World War II.
15:59It's Korea and you know it.
16:02My usual, please.
16:04So, why was Faye at your apartment this morning?
16:06Well, actually, I almost made a terrible mistake.
16:09Last night, I was prepared to break things off with her,
16:12and then suddenly we fell into this marvelous conversation about architecture.
16:16As it turns out, she detests the design of the Bilbao Art Museum as much as I do.
16:21And you almost let her kiss?
16:23Yes, exactly.
16:25Well, you know, Sandra's a wonderful woman, but, well, Faye and I have a deeper connection.
16:33And, to be fair, actually, she was the first to plant her flag on Terra Frasier.
16:46I'm starting to think Napoleon had a Frasier complex.
16:49Yes, for a while.
16:53Oh, there's Cassandra.
16:55I asked her here for coffee.
16:57I was going to tell her that we can't see each other any longer.
16:59Good luck.
17:00Thank you. Thank you, Nelson.
17:02Cassandra?
17:03Hi, honey.
17:04Hi.
17:08Double espresso, please.
17:10I have great news.
17:11Really?
17:12Those new promos are working wonders.
17:15I just got the numbers, and you're really scoring with women between the ages of 25 and 49.
17:22Well, that's not always a good thing.
17:27You all right?
17:28Actually, I... I wanted to talk to you about our relationship.
17:36You see, I...
17:37I know where we're going.
17:39A serious talk.
17:43You see, there comes a time in every relationship when you have to decide...
17:47I know.
17:48Whether we're going to be exclusive or not.
17:51I've been wanting to talk to you about that, too.
17:53You have?
17:55Yes. You see, I...
17:57I thought you should know that I've been seeing someone else.
18:00Oh. Really?
18:04Does that bother you?
18:05No. No, no.
18:08No, actually, not at all.
18:10Oh. Good.
18:12Anyway, what I wanted to say was that...
18:15Well, how long have you been seeing this other fella?
18:19Not very long.
18:20Uh-huh.
18:21You're not upset, are you?
18:22No, no, no, no.
18:23Actually, I was about to say...
18:24Well, uh, what does he do?
18:27He owns his own venture capital firm.
18:29Oh.
18:30Although he spends most of his time racing sailboats and...
18:34rebuilding trails for the Sierra Club.
18:36Oh, really?
18:37Seems a little unfocused, doesn't he?
18:43You are upset, aren't you?
18:45No, no, no, no.
18:46Really, there's no reason to be jealous of Sloan.
18:50Believe me, I am not jealous of Sloan.
18:58If anything, I pity the man who has to go through life with a pretentious name like that.
19:03Rage.
19:05Fine, fine, fine.
19:07You know what? Let's just, uh, drop the whole thing, all right?
19:10Okay.
19:11Now, about those new promos...
19:13Cassandra, I want us to be exclusive.
19:15What?
19:17Yes, well, I'm...
19:18I'm the kind of person who can make a decision and...
19:20and commit to it.
19:22And I was hoping that you might be that sort of person, too.
19:25Oh, Frasier, I'm so touched.
19:29If you only want us to be with each other, that's great.
19:32I was supposed to see Sloan tonight, but...
19:35I'm gonna call him and cancel.
19:37Oh, that's wonderful.
19:39Oh, my God.
19:41That means we can spend the night together.
19:44Oh.
19:57Looks like she took the news well, are you insane?
20:02Giles, I almost made a terrible mistake.
20:05What could possibly have happened in the last four minutes to make you change your mind again?
20:10Actually, when Cassandra told me that she was seeing somebody else,
20:13it awakened something in me.
20:15Ooh, petty jealousy?
20:16No!
20:17The realization that I couldn't bear to lose her.
20:20Yes, and the minute you see Faye, you'll reverse yourself again.
20:23No.
20:24No, I won't.
20:26I'll prove it to you.
20:28Cassandra is the one.
20:30I'm sure of it.
20:35Ah, her machine.
20:37Yes, Faye, it's Fraser.
20:40Uh, listen, I won't be able to join you for dinner tonight.
20:45But perhaps you could call me later.
20:50We need to talk.
20:53There.
20:55I've done it.
20:57Nothing says it's over between us quite like the phrase,
21:02we need to talk.
21:05See, that was my problem, actually. I kept leaving the door open.
21:08Well, I'm very proud of you, Fraser.
21:11An enlightened man is he who can learn from his mistakes.
21:15Squash tomorrow morning?
21:169 a.m., my place.
21:17See you then?
21:24Well, I called in.
21:27I probably should feel guilty, but...
21:30I'm just so glad it's just the two of us now.
21:33I'm ecstatic.
21:35I know a cute little bed and breakfast we can go to this weekend.
21:39Oh, really?
21:43What a relief this is.
21:45I've made my choice.
21:47Look at her.
21:49I've found an angel.
21:55An angel who wears an awful lot of makeup.
21:59I've never noticed that before.
22:01She doesn't paint her face up like that.
22:04And they have the cutest little four-poster beds in each room.
22:09That sounds lovely.
22:12My, she uses the word cute a lot.
22:16I'm cute.
22:18This cafe is cute.
22:19Now, the bed is cute.
22:22Fay used the word jejun last night.
22:27Oh, you know, I need to tell you.
22:31I really like how you handled that nasty caller yesterday.
22:35It was such a clever way.
22:37God, all she talks about is work, work, work.
22:42And now I see her every morning before work.
22:46And at work.
22:47And after work.
22:49I feel trapped.
22:53I can't breathe.
22:56Wait, what are you doing?
22:59It's just your fear talking.
23:01She's a wonderful woman.
23:03She's the one.
23:04She's perfect.
23:06And then I ran into Roz after the show.
23:09And she told me the cutest little story.
23:12Cassandra.
23:14We need to talk.
23:23Frazier?
23:24Fay.
23:25Hi.
23:26Look, we really need to talk.
23:28I know, I got your message.
23:29I thought you couldn't see me tonight.
23:31Yes, well, I just had some unfinished business with the promotions department.
23:36But that's all done now.
23:39I wish you would have called.
23:40I would have put something on.
23:42No, no, you look beautiful.
23:44Listen, Fay.
23:47I want us to be exclusive.
23:52What?
23:53Yes, I want to take our relationship to the next level.
23:56I just want to be with you.
23:59Wow.
24:00I'm a little surprised.
24:02You said we need to talk on the machine.
24:05And, you know, that usually means it's over.
24:08Really?
24:10I had no idea.
24:14Well, this is wonderful.
24:16Oh, my God.
24:18Oh, God, so it's just you and me.
24:21Oh, God, this is exhilarating.
24:24Oh, this is turning out to be the best day ever.
24:27Because, well, okay, Chris McKenna, the restaurant critic,
24:30he comes over to the restaurant this morning and...
24:33What is she thinking with that ridiculous shirt?
24:37I don't...
24:40Stop it, Frazier.
24:42You can't do this to yourself.
24:44This is nothing more than the natural panic of finally making your choice.
24:49The printer had messed up, and the menu said flab instead of flan.
24:55That is so precious.
24:59And so is she.
25:02Precious.
25:04My Fay.
25:07Fay as in favorite.
25:12This feels so much better now that I've relaxed.
25:15I was about to doom this whole relationship with my neurotic nitpicking.
25:20But it's clear sailing now.
25:23Well, enough about me. How was your day?
25:26Well, it certainly ended well.
25:30Although, you know, something funny did happen at the station.
25:34It was during the second hour of my show.
25:37My God, he really does love to talk about himself.
25:42Is that another new pair of shoes?
25:46He's got more shoes than I do.
25:49It didn't really work out.
25:56Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling.
25:58Toss salads and scrambled eggs.
26:02Quite stylish.
26:04And maybe I seem a bit confused.
26:07Well, maybe.
26:08But I got you pegged.
26:13But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
26:20They're calling again.
26:23Thank you!
