00:00Mr. Moon? You again? Didn't I toss you out of here last night?
00:18Six times, but if you'll just give me a minute to address...
00:21Gentlemen, this lad has traveled all the way from America to reunite me with my wife.
00:28Thriiiiiiiiime!
00:34You never gave me a chance to buy a round of drinks!
00:43All right, the usual rate. Start talking. You got one pint.
00:50Mr. Moon, a great man once wrote,
00:54that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.
00:59Done! Get out!
01:01Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon, your wife, your wife is miserable without you.
01:05I think you should give her another chance. After all, you were married 40 years.
01:0940 years too long! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for work.
01:14Sorry.
01:17Hello? Aren't you a pretty thing? Fancy a roll in the hay?
01:24Nobody talks to my woman that way!
01:29Let's go!
01:37Here's a tenner, Harry. Hope I didn't hurt you.
01:40All in the line of duty. Good luck to you. She's a nice bit of skirt.
01:43Oh, Tar.
01:47Same again, Ray.
01:56What was that?
01:58My job. I'll let lads give me a thumping to impress their dates.
02:04I tell you, it's a cakewalk compared to being married to Gertrude.
02:08At least when these lads hit me, they'll hold something back.
02:13Mr. Moon, you wouldn't recognize your wife. She's mellow.
02:17You're wasting your breath.
02:19All right, all right. Forget about your wife for a minute. Think about your daughter.
02:24She's heartbroken.
02:25My Daphne?
02:26Yes, yes. This separation is tearing her apart.
02:31If you care about her, come back to Seattle with me and talk to your wife.
02:35If you don't patch things up, at least your only daughter will know you cared enough to try.
02:41Well, you know, I'd love to see my baby girl again,
02:45but I can't afford to travel across the Atlantic whenever I please.
02:50I would pay for the ticket, of course.
02:52I can't have you buying me a first-class ticket to America.
02:59I insist.
03:00All right. For Daphne. You know, you're lucky you caught me on a light work week.
03:06Oh.
03:07Here's my two o'clock now.
03:12Oh, Lord.
03:14Aren't you a pretty thing?
03:23Mind if I join you around?
03:24Oh, please. You can help me kill some time.
03:28Roger's picking up his things from my apartment, and I don't want to run into him.
03:33Afraid you'll fight?
03:34Worse. I'm afraid we'll end up in bed.
03:38I mean, there's just something about him that is irresistible.
03:43I understand.
03:44Trust me, you don't.
03:46Roger is the best lover I have ever been with.
03:54Oh, my God. What am I saying? You were great, too.
04:00Rosemary, there's no need to do this.
04:01It's just that I forgot.
04:03Well, technically, it wasn't really sex because it was you,
04:05but whatever it was, it was great.
04:09Ros, please, there's no need to discuss it.
04:11I was one satisfied customer.
04:16Glad to hear it.
04:18Oh, let's pretend this comment card is about you.
04:21Ros, please, there is no need to do this.
04:24All right, if you insist.
04:26Just remember that it was late at night, and I am really more of a morning person.
04:33There you go.
04:36Let's see.
04:41High marks for courtesy and neatness of appearance.
04:44That's good.
04:47You were served in a prompt and timely manner.
04:52Now, I see here that you're not planning a return visit.
04:57Well, only because we agreed.
04:59I mean, as you can see, I will highly recommend you to friends and family members.
05:06Well, that's very kind of you, Ros.
05:10Would you like me to fill one out for you?
05:12Oh, I think you made your opinion clear when you screamed, outstanding.
05:25Oh, thanks for a tour of your city, lads.
05:28Now, where's your loupe?
05:30I need to splash me boots.
05:35Just an expression, or so I've chosen to believe.
05:43Now, are you and Daphne planning on having children?
05:49Someday.
05:49Why?
05:51No reason.
05:55Now, all I have to do is stash Mr. Moon at my place,
06:01pick up Daphne and her mom at the airport,
06:04and get them all together and lay the groundwork for a reconciliation.
06:11Oh, hi there.
06:12Hey, guys.
06:13How was work?
06:14Oh, great.
06:15I finally busted that guy who was riding Seymour Butts on the sign-out sheets.
06:24So, who was it?
06:25Senior Vice President Butts.
06:27I'm on probation for a week.
06:30Good God!
06:38You American police are persistent.
06:41I suppose you've been looking for this.
06:44A space needle snow globe?
06:46You see, I meant to pay for it.
06:48I put it in my pocket, and somewhere between there and the register, I forgot about it.
06:53Why don't you take it back?
06:55Mr. Moon, I think you're mistaken.
06:56This is our father.
06:58He works as a security guard.
07:00Yeah, uh, Marty Crane.
07:01How do you do?
07:02Oh, Harold Moon.
07:04Oh, well, you did a terrific job bringing up your daughter.
07:08Oh, well, you know, you do your best.
07:12I'll be needing that back then.
07:16Harry, let me get you a beer.
07:19Oh, get a man a beer.
07:21He'll drink for five minutes.
07:23Teach him where they are.
07:25He drinks all day.
07:27Uh, uh, Dad, Dad, I need you to do me a favor.
07:32Mr. Moon is a little bit reluctant about getting back together with his wife.
07:36Huh, can you blame him?
07:39It occurs to me that there's no woman so attractive
07:43as the one that some other guy seems to be attracted to, so...
07:46No way.
07:50It would mean a lot to Daphne, and it'll get Mrs. Moon out of the country.
07:57Well, if it means a lot to Daphne.
08:01Well, she's a hell of a woman, your Gertrude.
08:05I don't blame you for coming over here to fight for her.
08:08Really?
08:12What's so great about her?
08:14Oh, well, you know, I mean, uh, like I have to tell you,
08:20the whole package.
08:22Uh, she's got, uh, hair, skin, uh, et cetera, and she's a good little drinker.
08:34Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, why, just last week you were commenting on her twinkly eyes
08:40and her sunny smile.
08:42Definitely, yes, I was.
08:46Yeah, they sure don't make women like that in America.
08:50Come on, boy.
08:52Wait a minute.
08:54I think I know what's going on here.
08:57The dog, the cane.
09:03He's lost his vision, hasn't he?
09:13And then she drags me to another luau.
09:17Where I come from, you bury a dead pig because it's diseased.
09:22Not because you're going to dig it up and eat it.
09:25Yes, well, Hawaii's not for everyone.
09:30Things may be looking up.
09:32I have a surprise.
09:34Oh, a surprise.
09:36I hope it's not another trip, darling, or I might just have to kill you in your sleep.
09:42Good news!
09:43Our feet are the same size!
09:46Daddy!
09:47I knew you'd call!
09:48Hello, Stiltz!
09:51Give your old dad a kiss.
09:56Mom, look who's here, all the way from England.
09:59Hello, Gert.
10:02Hello, Gert.
10:05That's all you have to say for yourself?
10:08For 40 years I've been a good wife to you,
10:11raising your children and boiling your meals
10:14and letting you work off your animal lusts.
10:17And all I get for my trouble is a cheery,
10:20hello, Gert.
10:22Well, your fatal charm is not going to work this time.
10:25So you can drag your sorry arse
10:27back to that barstool it normally sags over
10:30and leave me the hell alone!
10:36Thank you, Niles.
10:36That was a nice surprise.
10:42You're right.
10:43She has mellowed.
10:48See?
10:49And I'm sure if you just give her a little more time,
10:52you'll work everything out.
10:53I gave it me best shot.
10:55I'm going to go pack.
10:57Daddy!
11:01I don't understand.
11:03He came all this way and he's just going to give up?
11:06Well, actually, he didn't even want to come.
11:10I sort of flew to England and persuaded him.
11:15You what?
11:17I wanted to surprise you.
11:20How could you do this without talking to me first?
11:24That would have ruined the surprise.
11:27Niles, I could have flown to England and talked to him, too.
11:30But I didn't because I know my parents.
11:34When they fight, they need time apart to miss each other.
11:37And you would have known that had you consulted me first.
11:44I'm off.
11:47Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon, wait.
11:49Just stay one more day and spend a little more time with your daughter.
11:54I'll put you up in a hotel.
11:56I can't let you buy me a suite in a five-star hotel.
12:14I'm sorry I yelled at you last night.
12:16No, no, I'm sorry.
12:18I was thinking about it.
12:19You were absolutely right.
12:20Look, look, look.
12:22We are a team now and bringing your dad back should have been our joint decision.
12:26Thanks for understanding.
12:28Anyway, what's done is done.
12:31Mom's taken her claws out of the ceiling and Dad's headed back to England.
12:35Actually, I convinced him to stay another day.
12:38I thought I should tell you since we're a team.
12:42You what?
12:42Well, I thought you'd want to spend more time with him.
12:45Plus, since they're both in the same city, we can get them together tonight.
12:50Or not.
12:53We're a team.
12:56It's totally up to you.
12:59I don't know.
13:00Maybe we should let them work it out for themselves.
13:03Yeah, or on the other hand, maybe our love will inspire them
13:07and come October, they'll be dancing at our wedding.
13:11That would be wonderful.
13:13Oh, hi guys.
13:14Hey, Frazier, Frazier, listen.
13:17Daphne and I are taking her parents out to dinner tonight.
13:19Can you get us a reservation at Chez Henri?
13:22Oh, Chez Henri and Niles have booked up months in advance.
13:26Well, I know that I wouldn't stand a chance of getting in,
13:28but I was hoping if I cloaked myself in the mantle of your greater renown...
13:32You should know better than that.
13:33Niles, I am not susceptible to flattery.
13:36I know that.
13:36You're the most grounded, down-to-earth person I know.
13:39Thank you, I'll make a call.
13:43Hey, Daphne.
13:44Hey, Niles.
13:45Oh, Ross, Ross, um, listen, I wanted to talk to you about this.
13:52Oh, my God, you still have that?
13:54Well, I was glancing at it.
14:00I couldn't help but notice that the overall score you gave me
14:05out of a possible five cups of coffee was a four.
14:13Yeah, that's a good score.
14:15It's a fine score, but it occurs to me that this presents an opportunity
14:20for me to learn something about my performance that might benefit me.
14:26So, what might I have done to earn that elusive fifth cup?
14:34Oh, I'm a tough grader.
14:39No one's a five-cupper.
14:41Nevertheless, there is a theoretical fifth cup out there.
14:48Now, I'm going to put ego aside.
14:49This is strictly about self-improvement.
14:53My commitment to sex-celence, if you will.
15:00You just lost a cup.
15:01Oh, please, Ron.
15:05All right, um, you know that thing you did at the end?
15:14At the very end?
15:16Just before.
15:18I know exactly what you mean.
15:20I could have done without that.
15:25Really?
15:27You didn't like that?
15:30Well, maybe that's just your taste.
15:31No.
15:34Because I've received high kudos for that in the past.
15:37No, look, don't take it personally.
15:39It would have been impossible for either one of us to get a perfect score that night,
15:42given the circumstances.
15:45We were both tentative, more than a little vulnerable.
15:49That's true.
15:50And it was tough to concentrate with the TV blaring away in your dad's bedroom.
15:57I didn't hear that.
15:59Don't you remember?
16:00Sting was on Letterman.
16:04He was talking about the rainforest and the plight of the Yanomami.
16:13It was really sad.
16:15I mean, the whole Orinoco River Valley is being forced into extinction.
16:23Well.
16:26I'm glad my woefully inadequate performance didn't distract you from your ecology lesson.
16:31Did Sting happen to mention anything about you shaving your legs?
16:40Because that's a rainforest that could use some pruning.
16:45That is exactly why I didn't want to forget it.
16:48You know, you're a very good kisser.
17:03No, I'm not.
17:05You are.
17:07I'm not.
17:08Yes, you are.
17:10Do I need to fill out another card?
17:12Oh, please.
17:15Could you?
17:18We have some magnificent specials this evening.
17:24Just so you know, Henry, I won't eat frogs, snails, slugs or eels.
17:30And don't try slipping them under the sauce.
17:32I'm on to you people.
17:36I shall repeat this to the chef,
17:38and I'm sure some other delightful surprise will find its way onto your plate.
17:44Is this love, candlelight, romantic music?
17:50Must take you back to the days of your courtship.
17:54Where did you two meet?
17:55At a soccer riot.
17:57She stopped a Spanish bloke from smashing a chair over me head.
18:00He wasn't Spanish, he was Portuguese.
18:05I believe he was Spanish.
18:07Well, I believe I know the difference between a bloody Spaniard and a bloody Portuguese.
18:13Oh, okay, okay, okay, moving on.
18:17Um, your first date?
18:20She had me over for dinner.
18:23Oh, to remember, I cooked you bubble and squeeze.
18:27And then we went out, got squiffy and half stackers and snogged behind the chippy.
18:36You lost me after the word dinner, but the language of love is universal.
18:42Listen, we had some good times back then, eh?
18:46Oh, you should have seen her, Daphne.
18:49She was a real firecracker.
18:54Maybe we should order some champagne.
18:56Actually, I brought a very special bottle from home.
18:58It's in the car.
18:59Um, you two, you just keep reminiscing.
19:03I'll be right back.
19:04Hello, lovely dog.
19:13Hello.
19:15Hello.
19:17Bastard!
19:19Take that back!
19:21I won't!
19:23Mummy!
19:25Daphne!
19:27Please!
19:29Go away!
19:31Go away!
19:33What happened to snogging behind the chippy?
19:38Get out of my country!
19:40I can't leave soon enough!
19:43You're Martin Crane's problem now.
19:46What?
19:47Did you think I wouldn't find out about your little fancy man?
19:50He says he can't stop thinking about you.
19:52Well, that's because he knows a good thing when he sees it.
19:55He can't see anything!
19:59Take me home, Daphne!
20:00I've had enough of this horrid man!
20:03Wait, now that the lines of communication are open!
20:05Oh, leave it alone, Giles!
20:07Come on, Mum!
20:12No, Gertrude, I never said I had a thing for you.
20:18No, I'm not playing hard to get.
20:22Yes, I guess if I was playing hard to get, I'd say that I wasn't, but I'm not.
20:26Henri, you... you can't ban me from your bistro.
20:33It's my Shea-Away from Shea.
20:40Very well.
20:42Goodbye, Henri.
20:43Goodbye, Gertrude.
20:47Great.
20:48I cheated death in Korea for this.
20:51Hello?
20:53Hello?
20:54See, word travels fast.
20:56Is Daphne here?
20:57Uh, no, she's not back from taking her mother home yet.
21:00Oh, well, I was hoping to see her before I left.
21:04I guess I'll leave her a note then.
21:06Uh, Mr. Moon, I'm sorry I dragged you all the way to America.
21:10Oh, it wasn't all that bad.
21:12I got to see Daphne.
21:14I got to see Daphne.
21:16I got to see Daphne.
21:18I got to see Daphne.
21:21And that hotel was brilliant.
21:24The towels were so fluffy, I could barely close me suitcase.
21:33Miles, I'm sorry things didn't work out.
21:35Well, we can't say you didn't try.
21:41Hello?
21:43Hello?
21:44Uh, Dad, uh, why don't we go to your bedroom?
21:47I want to show you how to use your clothes, casting on the TV so you don't have to have
21:52it on so loud at night.
21:53Oh, yeah, sure.
21:57Your dad's here in your room.
21:58He's just leaving you a note.
21:59How's your mom?
22:01Apparently, there's nothing left for her in England, so she's thinking about putting down
22:06roots here.
22:08Daphne?
22:10Daphne?
22:12Daphne?
22:14From the bottom of my heart...
22:16Miles, it's been a very trying day.
22:18Can we talk about this later?
22:20I'll drive Daddy to the airport.
22:22I'll, uh, move his suitcase to your car.
22:26There you are!
22:28Well, back to England, then.
22:30Yes.
22:32No chance of you and Mum getting back together.
22:34Don't think so, love.
22:36Not this time.
22:38Maybe if you give it another chance...
22:40Daphne, I'm sorry.
22:42It's over.
22:44Has been for a long time.
22:46I mean, I've got no complaints.
22:48I got something wonderful out of it.
22:50You!
22:58If you don't love each other, why did you stay together for 40 years?
23:02Through all the fighting and the screaming and the hitting.
23:06That was for you kids.
23:10I can't believe this is really happening.
23:12You may be naïve, but I always thought love would save the day.
23:18Well, you know, we all think that when we're young.
23:20But then life beats us around a bit and you learn to dream a little smaller.
23:26So that's how it goes.
23:28Two people get married.
23:30They're together 40 years and then all of a sudden it just ends.
23:34But it's different from you!
23:36I mean, you've found the right person.
23:38You barely know him.
23:40Well, all I know is I threw him out my pub six times.
23:44And six times he marched back in and yammered me ear off until I went back with him to America.
23:50All to make you happy!
23:52I never did anything like that for your mother.
23:56No, no, I tell you, Daphne.
23:58You've got the right one there.
24:00A good one, you know?
24:02And another thing.
24:04He's worth a bob or two.
24:06God!
24:14I want to marry you.
24:16I want to marry you?
24:18No, I want to marry you now.
24:20As in now?
24:22Yes.
24:24Why?
24:26Why?
24:28Because you'd do anything.
24:30Even put up with my insane family to make me happy.
24:36Because you'd travel halfway around the world to make my dreams come true.
24:40Even the impossible ones.
24:44And because I can't spend one more second without being your wife, Niles Crane.
24:50Because I adore you.
24:54But I thought you always wanted a big wedding.
24:58You want to make my dreams come true.
25:00This is my dream.
25:06Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling.
25:08Toss salads and scrambled eggs.
25:10Quite stylish.
25:12And maybe I seem a bit confused.
25:14Well, maybe.
25:16But I got you pegged.
25:18Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:20Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:22Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:24Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:26Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:28Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:30Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:32Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:34Ha, ha, ha.
25:36But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
25:42They're calling again.
25:46Goodnight, everybody.
