00:00in the healing process, but also provides one with the confidence to go forward
00:05in spite of the fear this kind of trauma can cause.
00:10Honestly, I can't say enough about these new medicated bandage strips.
00:15But thanks for asking, Jordan.
00:19Up next is the Stock Market Report with Julia Wilcox.
00:25Doctor.
00:27Hello, Avery. Impeccable timing.
00:30Good to see you, Fraser.
00:31Yes, hello. Oh, careful, careful, careful. Paper cut.
00:35Yes, I caught the last half hour of your show.
00:38Ah. Oh, Roz, come and meet an old friend of mine, Avery McManus.
00:42This is Roz Doyle, my producer.
00:45Lovely to meet you.
00:46Same here.
00:47Avery and I used to live across the hall from each other back in Oxford.
00:50Now he lives in Seattle.
00:51A very accomplished accountant who's going to take me on as a client.
00:54Well, my taxes could use some serious doing.
00:59Roz, he's married.
01:01I'll tell you what, I'll be back in about an hour to go over this month's bestow.
01:05Oh, I don't think an hour is going to be long enough, Fraser.
01:08Your finances are a mess. Your spending's out of control.
01:12Well, that's impossible. I'm very prudent.
01:15Then what about this $9,000 caviar bill for last month?
01:21And what's with you and wine?
01:23I had to take on an associate just to go through your sherry receipts.
01:27Roz, you know, I've completely forgotten myself.
01:30How is Amanda? I don't believe I've seen her since the wedding.
01:34Amanda's great. She made partner.
01:36Oh.
01:37Okay, everybody, the I'm a pathetic loser show is over.
01:42My listeners are not pathetic losers.
01:45I wasn't referring to your listeners.
01:48You're Julia Wilcox.
01:50Yes, I am.
01:51You wrote Practical Applications of Econometrics.
01:55Yes, I did.
01:56I love that book.
01:58Avery McManus.
02:00Oh, it's a pleasure to meet a fan, Avery.
02:03A fan is someone who enjoys your work.
02:08Yes, and do you know what they call someone who can't stand your work?
02:12In your case? The public.
02:15She was supposed to say what, and I was going to say me.
02:18Oh, come on, let's get out of here.
02:25Ow! How come you only rub where it hurts?
02:29Your son's hired me to torture you, so that's what I'm doing.
02:32Ow! Oh, Eddie, Daddy's in trouble. Sick her!
02:37Okay, hold on, old man.
02:39And I hope you got your griping out of your system,
02:42because I need you to be on your best behavior next time.
02:45Why?
02:46Because the agency won't assign me any new clients
02:50until an evaluator observes me at work.
02:53Oh, jeez, I don't want to go on display like some trained seal.
02:58Please.
03:00I'm sorry.
03:02I don't want to go on display like some trained seal.
03:05Please. I'll give you some treats.
03:11Treats, huh?
03:13Okay.
03:17Hey, Frej, how was your trip to the accountant?
03:20Fine.
03:22Fine.
03:24Why are all these lights on?
03:32All right, I'll be honest with you.
03:34Avery had some very stern warnings for me.
03:37The situation isn't dire,
03:40but it could become serious if I don't change my ways.
03:44Well, it doesn't sound too tough.
03:46You're going to get balcony seats at the opera.
03:49And stop throwing away your change.
03:51Oh, that was one time.
03:54And if you'd seen that cashier's fingernails,
03:56you'd have done the same thing.
03:58But the point is, I just have to come up with a plan.
04:01A plan, you know, perhaps a ruminative latte would do me some good at Nivosa.
04:05What? You just had a whole new espresso machine shipped here from Italy.
04:10Yes, well, I'm waiting for the cups.
04:13Besides, Nivosa is more to me than just a place for coffee.
04:17It's my refuge, my sanctuary for contemplation.
04:21Oh, I've just had a cost-saving idea.
04:24Daphne, you're family now, and yet I still pay you a full price for Dad's therapy.
04:29All right, I'll keep thinking. Off I go.
04:35This happens every time you hire a new accountant.
04:38You let their fear get to you.
04:40But remember, it's Avery's job to worry about your finances, not yours.
04:45Yes, of course it is, of course it is. He's the professional.
04:49Thanks so much, Niles. That's really quite helpful.
04:52I feel better now.
04:54Excuse me, change my shortbread order to a tartatin.
04:59And one for my brother, please, a la mode.
05:02He's back.
05:07You ready for some more music, Gilles?
05:11Great!
05:20I quite agree.
05:24I am sorry, young man.
05:26If we wanted to hear your music, we would attend one of your concerts in the bus station.
05:32Well, people seem to like it.
05:34Yeah, they clap along.
05:36And it's been enough to keep me out of the three-piece cage.
05:39The what?
05:41The soup, man, the soup.
05:44Excuse me, is there a problem?
05:46Well, Gilles, as a matter of fact, there is.
05:48This man is making it impossible for me to converse with my brother.
05:51I think he's great.
05:53Ah, I understand.
05:56You two are friends.
05:58Perhaps you used to gig together in your salad desks.
06:03But if you wish to alter the atmosphere of this café,
06:06I suggest you consult with the owner.
06:08I am the owner.
06:10Oh, really? Well, I'm Frasier Crane. It's a pleasure.
06:13Maureen Nervosa.
06:16Really?
06:18Well, I happen to be one of your core customers, Miss Nervosa.
06:22In fact, I spend over $3,000 a year here, which I just found out today.
06:27Frasier, people are starting to stare.
06:29Let's just come back tomorrow afternoon when the café is quieter.
06:32Actually, Ben, we'll be playing afternoons from now on.
06:36Really? Well, you know, I would think about that.
06:39I mean, although we do adore your establishment,
06:43if there is one thing we can find in Seattle, it is another coffee shop.
06:47Yeah, but not many of them will let you change in the men's room.
06:52Now, I don't relish the idea of asking you this,
06:55but I'm afraid you will have to choose.
06:57I choose Ben.
07:02I see.
07:05Well...
07:08Farewell, Nervosa.
07:12It's been a splendid decade,
07:14but I'm afraid your brew has become a bit too bold for my brother and me.
07:19Come, Niles, let's go.
07:21But I don't want to go.
07:26Nervosa is my haven, my cocoon.
07:29This next one's called The Wild Rover.
07:37I've been a wild rover for many a year
07:42And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
07:47And now I'm returning with gold in great store
07:52I never will play the wild rover no more
07:56And it's now, now, now, now
08:00Now, now, now, now, now, now
08:06My name is Frasier. This is my brother Niles.
08:09We're thinking of making this our regular haunt.
08:14Way to go.
08:18We'll have two espressos, please.
08:22I'm sorry, and your name is?
08:24Steve.
08:25Stephen. Outstanding.
08:27Just Steve.
08:31Steve.
08:33I look forward to years of this sort of lively banter.
08:40Well, they've found a way to bring the charm of an airport to a midtown location.
08:46Now, Niles, let's try to be positive. This may be our new home.
08:53Yes, this will do nicely.
08:58This will be our regular table.
09:03And that will be our dining table.
09:07And that will be our backup regular table.
09:15Well, perhaps we should keep looking.
09:17Hello, Julia.
09:19Hello, Frasier.
09:21Wow. Who's this, your stunt double?
09:27This is my brother Niles. Niles, I'd like you to meet my colleague, Julia Wilcox.
09:31How do you do?
09:33Oh, that's very good, Frasier. I didn't even see your lips move.
09:38I thought you always go to Nervosa.
09:41Well, sadly, no more.
09:43They've hired a terribly annoying folk singer,
09:47whose hideous noise-making has made it impossible for me to enjoy my one sanctuary.
09:52I didn't ask for your life story.
09:56Steve, I'm afraid we'll be taking these to go. Thank you.
09:59Glad to hear it. Goodbye, Frasier.
10:02Goodbye, emergency, Frasier.
10:06I don't like her.
10:09I don't like her cafe anymore. Let's go.
10:12Ah, thank you, Steve. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I'm afraid my brother and I
10:16will not be the everyday stalwarts I had predicted we'd be.
10:20Damn.
10:23Every time I open my heart.
10:32Ha-ha-ha!
11:03You know, Avery was always a bit of a playboy.
11:06But honestly, I thought marriage was settling down.
11:09I should just tell Julia that he's married.
11:12But then again, she's been so rude to me. Why should I do something nice for her?
11:16But then again, can I just stand idly by and keep my mouth shut?
11:20I can answer that one.
11:23Doesn't he wear a ring?
11:26No, but I know he has one on his head.
11:29No, but I know he has one. I was at the wedding.
11:34Dad, you see, I'm facing a perplexing dilemma here. Some guidance would be welcome.
11:39No, it wouldn't.
11:41You always ask for my opinion and then completely ignore it.
11:44Well, this time, while I've got the floor, I'm going to talk about what I want to talk about.
11:50NBA referees need to enforce the traveling rule.
11:56It's dribble, one step, shoot. Not dribble, step, step, step, step, shoot.
12:06That was very helpful.
12:10I guess I'll just do what I always do.
12:13Sort through this myself.
12:16All right, I'm off to Nervosa.
12:20No.
12:22I'm off to that other place where young Steve works.
12:28No.
12:29That's Avery and Julia's place.
12:32Well, I hope you're both satisfied. Now I don't know where the hell I'm going.
12:40I'm hashing over an ethical dilemma, so I think I could use some black coffee.
12:47What size would you like?
12:49I've got a lot to ponder, so I think a large.
12:52I'm afraid we don't have large, sir.
12:55We have piccolo, macho, mucho, and mucho macho.
13:03I see.
13:06Do you happen to know what size would correspond to a Nervosa Grande?
13:13No, but our mucho is about the same as the semicolossal over at Don't Spill the Beans.
13:19Ah, ah, all right.
13:21I know that their colossal is comparable to a Nervosa Grande,
13:27so the semicolossal would be three-quarters of a colossal,
13:31so the mucho and the semicolossal would be equivalent,
13:37so I should have the mucho macho, but only fill it five-eighths.
13:43Yes, sir.
13:45For 50 cents extra, we can preheat the vessel.
13:48No.
13:50Can we just move this along, please?
13:52I understand completely. Your zip code, sir?
13:57You don't have to give your real zip if you don't want to.
14:01Then what's the point?
14:05It unlocks the cash register.
14:11Put in whatever code you wish.
14:14Here we are.
14:16Now, I would just like a cup of coffee and a quiet place to drink it.
14:21Keep it to you, sir.
14:23Okay, here's your change.
14:26Your number four.
14:29I'll bring it to your beanbag.
14:54Now, you have a bullet lodged in your hip, correct?
14:59Do I?
15:01Oh, that's right, I do.
15:04Sometimes I forget the way Daphne takes care of me.
15:07She's the best.
15:11All right, and how would you rate your level of comfort during therapy?
15:15Oh, I don't think you could come up with a number high enough,
15:18so I'd just say...
15:2030.
15:25Sorry.
15:27Oh, it's my nanny.
15:29Hi, nanny. Wouldn't that be something?
15:33Do you mind? No, please go ahead.
15:36Hi.
15:39What are you doing?
15:41What do you think? I'm making you look good.
15:43Yeah, well, stop it. My work speaks for itself.
15:46Oh, Daphne, I love you, but sometimes you can be so naive.
15:49Sure, you're good at the job, but you need a little salesmanship.
15:53That's why I'm here.
15:55You so much as... Sorry about that.
15:58Back in the laundry chute again.
16:00Oh, poor thing. How old is she?
16:03What's the difference? After tomorrow, she's not our nanny anymore.
16:10All right, shall we begin, Martin?
16:12Are you kidding? This is my favorite part of the day.
16:20Whenever you're ready, Daphne.
16:22First, I like to start with some simple range-of-motion exercises to warm up the muscles.
16:30Oh, am I in a cloud?
16:34Because that's how it feels, like I'm on a cloud.
16:41Then some strokes around the flexor, smoothing out any knots.
16:46And are you feeling discomfort, Martin?
16:49Discomfort? Try disbelief. I don't know how she does it.
16:55You know, physical therapy shouldn't be a pleasure trip.
16:58It is challenging, healing work.
17:00You really need to be digging into the muscles there, Daphne.
17:03Yeah.
17:04Let me show you.
17:09Ah!
17:11It's digging all right.
17:13Oh, it's not so bad. I think you've just been pampered a little too long, huh?
17:17Whoa!
17:20That is the sound of progress. You think you can work like this?
17:24Watch me.
17:39You can stop checking the door.
17:42Fraser swore he'd never come back here.
17:45I'm not worried about him.
17:47Yes, we do have a pact to boycott Nervosa,
17:49but I only came in here because I saw you sitting alone and I thought you needed company.
17:54Are you ready for some more music?
17:56Yeah!
18:00Fudge. Time to go.
18:02Why don't you like Ben? He's really nice.
18:06He was selling his CDs outside. I got Abbey Road and the soundtrack from Grease.
18:13I'm going to need a little bit of help with this one.
18:15What about you, sir? What about you?
18:17Can you give a steady beat for me?
18:19Sorry, no.
18:20What do you think, Nervosa? Is he the man for the job?
18:26He doesn't really think you mean it!
18:29Go!
18:33If I do this, will you take a break?
18:35Yeah, I like breaks, yeah.
18:36He says yes!
18:43I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Are you going to stick with that 4-4 tempo?
18:48Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:52Do you call that sort of an Andante feel?
18:54Just shake it, okay?
18:56Time to kangaroo down, sport. Time to kangaroo down.
19:01Time to kangaroo down, sport. Time to kangaroo down.
19:07Watch me wallaby feed, mate. Watch me wallaby feed.
19:12It's a dangerous breed, mate. Watch me wallaby feed.
19:17Time to kangaroo down, sport. Time to kangaroo down.
19:22Time to kangaroo down, sport. Time to kangaroo down.
19:27It's shallow!
19:37Oh, my God!
19:40Mario!
19:49Oh! Don't you run, you coward!
19:52I'll be right back.
19:55Oh, by the way, $10 is still the best price for quadrophenia!
20:01Well, well, look who's here.
20:05I thought you were Nervosa Non Grata.
20:08I had no place else to go.
20:11Would you like your usual?
20:13More than you could possibly know.
20:16This is a song that I wrote about doing the right thing.
20:20Oh, Lord, I'm going to need that to go.
20:23I think we always know in our hearts what the right thing is,
20:28but we don't always have the courage to do it.
20:31In my case, I knew this guy what was playing around with a woman.
20:36But what she didn't know was he already had a girlfriend.
20:41Anyway, I was the only one that knew the facts.
20:45But what was I to do?
20:48Tell the guy to back off?
20:50Tell the girl that she was dating a sleaze?
20:54So I fought, and I fought,
20:58and here's what I done.
21:01Oh, what a drag, I broke the string.
21:04Anyway, I'll be back in a moment.
21:09Excuse me, excuse me.
21:10What?
21:11What happened?
21:13What?
21:14In the song, what happened?
21:16I have to think all the way through it.
21:19I knew a guy who had a wandering eye.
21:21Yes, yes, we know that part. What next?
21:23He met a lady, he told her a lie.
21:25Right, right, and then?
21:26Chorus.
21:28Repeat chorus.
21:32And how did it end?
21:34I said it's how you bliss.
21:48Lieutenant, come in.
21:51Frasier, what can I do for you?
21:53Avery, we need to talk.
21:55I'm a little busy at the moment.
21:57I'm sorry it can't wait. I know about you and Julia Wilcox.
22:00I have no idea what you're...
22:01Oh, stop that!
22:03You are a married man.
22:05I realize this may be fun and games to you, but she could get hurt.
22:08This is really not a good time.
22:10And why the hell not?
22:12Because I'm in the closet.
22:21Uh...
22:23I had no idea. I didn't mean for you to overhear.
22:26What? That Avery's married?
22:29I already know.
22:31You do?
22:32We're having an affair, you idiot.
22:40Well, I'm sorry.
22:43I thought I was helping you.
22:45Are you finished helping yet?
22:47Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.
22:49I am also finished thinking that you and I owe each other the loyalty of professional kinship.
22:54From this day forward, we are merely co-workers, cut and dried.
22:59And as for you, I am deducting my mileage here as a business expense.
23:10Unbelievable.
23:13Are you all right?
23:15Yeah.
23:17Yeah, he was just trying to help in his own heavy-handed way.
23:24He was always trying to be the hero.
23:29You know, one night back at Oxford,
23:31he crawled out onto a ledge to rescue what turned out to be a gargoyle.
23:39PHONE RINGS
23:45Ah, it's my wife. Excuse me.
23:49Hello?
23:50Hello, darling.
23:52I miss you too.
23:55Uh, not long.
23:59MUSIC STOPS
24:06When does the alleged music start?
24:08It doesn't. Banquet.
24:11Really? Why?
24:12Ask him yourself.
24:17Well, well.
24:19It's quite a sharp-looking three-piece cage. What happened?
24:23Well, you know, I don't really know.
24:25Some little blonde doxy came in here
24:28and hooked me up with a job at the Pelham Bay Bank.
24:31Have you got my cheque, old man?
24:33In the back.
24:36Would you like that for here or to go?
24:38For here.
24:40I'm staying.
24:43Congratulations, Frasier.
24:46You got your cafe back.
24:49Whatever.
24:52Say, Julia, wait.
24:56Didn't you used to be on the board of the Pelham Bay Bank?
25:00Want to know my bio? Go to my website.
25:04Go to my website.
25:18Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling
25:21Tossed salads and scrambled eggs
25:24Oh, my.
25:27And maybe I seem a bit confused
25:30Well, maybe, but I got you pegged
25:34But I don't know what to do
25:37With those tossed salads and scrambled eggs
25:42They're calling again
25:45Good night, everybody.
