TVTranscript
00:00This is Dr. Fraser Crane, and we'll be right back after this.
00:05Okay, after this spot, we're going to come back for 15 seconds, you do a station ID, and then toss it to the news.
00:12I'll count you down.
00:14That won't be necessary. I have a built-in mental stopwatch.
00:18As a child, playing hide-and-go-seek, I was the only one that didn't need to say,
00:22one hippopotamus, two hippopotamus.
00:24Frasier, I've heard you. You're always either talking into the news or running short.
00:32I am not.
00:33I'll bet you 20 bucks below this spot.
00:37All right, you are on.
00:39No, you are.
00:45Hello, we're back. This is Dr. Fraser Crane, tuning in for our second hour of the Dr. Fraser Crane show.
00:52In our first hour, we cover everything from anorexia to xenophobia.
00:58What will be next?
00:59As always, of course, that's entirely up to you.
01:04So stick around. The doctor is in, and he's listening.
01:10Oh, this is KACL, 70 in the AM.
01:12This is NBC News.
01:14Bye, Mary. That's Davis.
01:19That was very smooth.
01:22Oh, let's see.
01:25One Andrew Jackson, two Andrew Jackson.
01:28Oh, stop.
01:31Frasier, I've been getting a lot of complaints from sponsors saying that their ads are getting buried in huge commercial blocks.
01:38I see.
01:39So, instead of having four blocks per hour, we're going to have eight, only they're only going to be half as long.
01:46In fact, it might help them.
01:47And you want to stay on top, don't you, Frasier?
01:54Frasier?
01:54Of course, very much so.
02:01Good.
02:07Frasier, what was that?
02:09What was what?
02:10You don't call me crazy, but when you were talking to Kate, you had this goofy little teenage look on your face.
02:16If I didn't know better, I'd swear you got a thing for her.
02:20For Kate?
02:21Look at you.
02:22You're flushed.
02:23I had Mexican for lunch.
02:27It's not lust.
02:28It's a chechanga.
02:31Frasier, I'm sorry, but I'm never wrong about these things.
02:35But have you lost your mind?
02:38Look me in the eye and tell me I'm wrong.
02:40Oh, my God, I'm sitting on a powder keg here.
02:49You've got a crush on a cake.
02:54Everybody else, you're the biggest gossip in the entire station.
02:57You ought to be sworn to secrecy.
02:58I swear I won't tell anyone.
03:00Nope, it doesn't count until you shake my hand.
03:02Oh, all right.
03:03All right.
03:05Frasier, Kate and I.
03:07Oh, my God, Kate's dirty girl.
03:09Oh, no, no, no, Kate, no, Kate.
03:12You know.
03:13I was not full of it.
03:14I was...
03:14Kate is the woman you had sex with on the air in this booth
03:21and you were calling dirty girl?
03:23Oh, my God.
03:27I just need a minute here.
03:29All right.
03:31Of course, it happened months ago.
03:33Only a couple of times.
03:35Uh-huh.
03:36It's funny.
03:37Uh-huh.
03:38The relationship started out so antagonistic, and suddenly it just spilled over into passion.
03:42It was intense, romantic, exciting.
03:46Of course, the whole thing's over now, but...
03:48Now, Ross, you will say nothing, absolutely nothing.
03:52Ross.
03:54Ross.
03:55Boy, I'll never do that again.
03:57I notice you're grating that carrot at a 45-degree angle.
04:11Does that enhance the flavor?
04:13No, no. Just an old habit.
04:19And why exactly did you choose to grate carrots?
04:22Because we have carrots.
04:27I hope you don't mind all the questions, it's just...
04:32Now I'm separated, it's time I learned to cook for myself.
04:36It's quite all right.
04:37Tell you what, why don't you grate while I put the chicken in?
04:41Right.
04:48Ooh, thousands of little metal teeth.
04:53Able to tear the flesh right off your...
04:56Nope, nope, false alarm.
05:03Normally I bleed like the Russian royal family, but not today.
05:10That's interesting.
05:11You put a toothpick in that chicken.
05:14Now, is that to check when it's done?
05:15No, I'm just marking which one is yours.
05:18Dr. Green, would you mind setting the table?
05:25Oh, certainly.
05:27Just give a yell if there's anything else that you need to have grated.
05:30You've done enough grating for one night.
05:32No, I'm writing my memoirs.
05:46I'll take that as a yes.
05:48It's my old army, buddy.
05:50But, you know, that's the improper use of a hyphen.
05:53Um, somehow I don't think Maury Dingman will mind.
05:59Well, then I'm sure he won't notice that missing comma and that run-on sentence.
06:03Although this is a particularly glaring error, it's best not to end a sentence with a preposition.
06:11Not to be technical, but off is a preposition too.
06:31Evening all.
06:32Good news.
06:34I have tickets for the symphony tomorrow night.
06:36Are you free?
06:36Well, actually, no.
06:38I have a date.
06:39With who?
06:39Oh, some woman I met at my accountant's.
06:43Yeah, when I was in the service, first thing I'd do when I hit a new port was go straight to an accountant and find out where the action was.
06:56Well, I must admit I'm having a little trouble working out my enthusiasm about it.
07:01It's probably the woman's fault.
07:02It's just that I find myself preoccupied by somebody else right now.
07:05Well, frankly, sir, it's gone a bit beyond preoccupation.
07:10I'm having fantasies about her all the time.
07:14Oh, there's nothing wrong with that.
07:16You know, when I first met your mother, she was so upbeat and bouncy.
07:19See, I used to fantasize about her wearing a skimpy little cheerleader outfit.
07:24Oh, daddy.
07:25Oh, daddy.
07:25Oh, daddy.
07:25Oh, daddy.
07:25Oh, daddy.
07:25Oh, daddy.
07:28Grow up.
07:29You two.
07:30This set is perfectly natural.
07:34Can't tell you the number of times I was on a stakeout in the cold, picturing your mother in front of a warm fire wearing nothing but a...
07:41Dad, that's the best.
07:42Oh, thank you.
07:42I don't think you knew it.
07:44Oh, I'm sorry.
07:45One day your mother and I went on a church picnic and the two of you came floating down the river in little liquor baskets.
07:54Was that so hard?
07:58You know, I'm beginning to wonder if I have real feelings for this woman.
08:04I mean, I think about her all the time.
08:06Oh, this sounds interesting.
08:09What are we talking about?
08:10Kate from the office.
08:12Oh, dirty girl.
08:18She's seen nice.
08:19Well, she is nice.
08:21She's intelligent, accomplished.
08:23Well, if you think so much of her, why don't you ask her out?
08:26Well, we agreed we wouldn't pursue things and frankly she hasn't given me any indication since that she's even had second thought about me.
08:35Added to which, if Frasier did pursue her and she rejected him, he could hardly rationalize it by saying she doesn't know what she's missing.
08:43She would know exactly what she's missing.
08:44She just didn't miss it.
08:45Thank you, Niles.
08:57You can't let fear of rejection stop you, Dr. Green.
09:00Oh, you know, definitely.
09:03It's just not that easy, really.
09:05Maybe I'm letting this romantic fantasy run away with me.
09:08And the truth is we don't really know each other very well.
09:11And, you know, what if she did reject me?
09:13And I'd end up going to work every day feeling like a fool.
09:17Am I getting a whiff of chicken here?
09:19Oh, fine, Dad.
09:21You know, frankly, I've had enough of you and your adolescent wisecracks.
09:25I am not chicken.
09:27I'm just merely hesitant.
09:29All right, I will ask her out tomorrow.
09:30Fine, I hope that makes you happy.
09:34I just thought I smelled dinner.
09:46Oh, Kate.
09:47Hi, there you are.
09:48I wanted to talk with you.
09:50I'm just going down to the billing department.
09:53I'll ride along with you.
10:04You know, it seems every time we speak lately,
10:08the conversation always leads to ratings or commercials or demographics,
10:14hirings and firings, promotions, demotions,
10:19the odds skirmish over the expense account.
10:22It just seems also dry and impersonal.
10:26Did I hit the right button?
10:30Oh, yeah.
10:34Yeah, you did.
10:36You did.
10:36You hit the right button.
10:38I'm sorry.
10:38I've got a lot on my mind.
10:40Well, so do I.
10:44Kate, I wanted to ask you...
10:48Frazier, I'm leaving KACL.
10:50I'm moving to Chicago.
10:52What?
10:53Yeah.
10:54I'm taking over our station there.
10:57In fact, I'm going out on the red-eye tonight.
11:00I thought, given our history, I should tell you first.
11:04Well, I'm, uh, at a loss for words.
11:13Wouldn't you know it?
11:14On the day I'm leaving.
11:20Well, congratulations.
11:22This is, uh, it's a big step for you.
11:25Yeah.
11:26Thanks.
11:27Boy, this was not an easy decision.
11:29Believe me.
11:30You never know if you're leaving a place too soon.
11:34Well, I, well, I know is that for the time you've been here, I've, I've certainly enjoyed
11:39having you.
11:40Oh, no.
11:45Having you, you know.
11:46Well, I know.
11:51Well, I guess this is goodbye.
11:57I suppose so.
12:02Goodbye, Kate.
12:04My, don't you look dashing.
12:23Oh, well, thank you.
12:26So, tell me about this woman you're going out with.
12:30Well, her name's Donna.
12:32She's an art director.
12:36Or a park director, I forget.
12:39Look, I know you're upset about Kate leaving, but, cheer up.
12:49There's nothing quite as exciting as a first date.
12:53All those questions you ask.
12:55What's your favourite food?
12:58What's your favourite colour?
13:00If you were to come back as an animal, what sort of animal would you be?
13:03If she were to ask you that woman, what would you say?
13:09Check, please, comes to mind.
13:17Hello?
13:20Niles, no one was mean to you last night.
13:23No, if you want to come over, that's great.
13:27Yeah, we'd love to see you.
13:29Okay, bye.
13:32Hello.
13:36No traffic?
13:39Yeah, you sounded lonely, so I rented some movies.
13:43Oh, didn't you know the VCR is broken?
13:45No subtitles this time.
13:47Oh, that's right, I got it fixed.
13:50What'd you bring?
13:51Uh, I have The Way We Were and a classic, Casablanca.
13:55Oh, I just love that movie.
13:58Is there any more heartbreaking moments in all of film
14:01than when Humphrey Bogart tells Ingrid Bergman
14:04to get on that plane with Victor Laszlo,
14:06even though Bogie loves her?
14:09What an ending.
14:11Well, here goes my need to finally see that one.
14:17He cares deeply for her, and yet he lets her go.
14:24I wonder why Bogie did that.
14:26Well, why don't we put the movie in and find out?
14:29Because Laszlo needed her by his side to fight the Nazis.
14:33Oh, forget the Nazis.
14:35That's how man in his right mind would give up Ingrid Bergman.
14:38Oh, sure.
14:39Sacrifice the entire free world for a little Swedish meatball.
14:42Look, I don't like Nazis any more than the next guy,
14:48but what's Ingrid going to do with Laszlo?
14:51You're missing the point.
14:53What makes the movie so romantic
14:55is seeing Bogie go from a cynical playboy
14:58to a noble self-sacrifice in Patriot.
15:02Well, why don't you just put on some trench coats and act it out?
15:04I'm telling you, if you're in his shoes, you've only got one, Charlie.
15:11I'll say you do.
15:12You get the hell down at the airport and tell her to get off the plane.
15:15She's going to Lisbon to fight the Nazis.
15:17No, she's not.
15:18She's going to Chicago to turn her country western station
15:21into an all-talk format.
15:22Kate, where are you going?
15:24Stop Kate from getting on that plane.
15:26Well, your dad's going to be here in a minute.
15:28What are you supposed to tell her?
15:29Oh, I don't know.
15:30Just tell her I'm visiting a sick friend or something.
15:33Well, better yet, just tell her the truth.
15:35Sometimes two people just aren't meant to be together.
15:38Oh, it's just like Redford and Streisand
15:41at the end of the way we were.
15:43And that's enough.
16:01Frasier.
16:02I don't say anything.
16:03Just listen.
16:04Kate, this afternoon I wanted to say something to you,
16:06but when I found out you were leaving, I held back.
16:09Well, I'm not holding back anymore.
16:13I can't start thinking about you.
16:16Not just about the times we made love,
16:18but about the possibility that we might have a future together.
16:21Now, if there's any part of you that wonders the same thing about me,
16:25we owe it to ourselves to see it through.
16:27See, if you get on that plane tonight, we'll regret it.
16:32Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.
16:36And for the rest of our lives.
16:39Anyway, I think I've made my point.
16:44What do you think?
16:49Kate?
16:53More importantly, what do you think?
16:55Oh, for God's sake, you've been bawling the whole movie.
17:08I have not.
17:11My eyes just itch.
17:16Well, it turns out Bogey was right to let her go.
17:19Oh, Frasier, what are you doing here?
17:24Look, Donna stayed to watch Casablanca with us.
17:27Donna, hi.
17:29Hello, Frasier.
17:30How's your friend?
17:31In the hospital.
17:33Oh, he's doing much better, actually.
17:36They're thinking of sending him home tomorrow.
17:39After a heart transplant?
17:43Well, he's with an HMO.
17:45So, uh, what do you say we have that dinner?
17:52Oh, great.
17:53I'll just grab my coat.
17:59Kate?
18:00Okay.
18:00Now, you listen to me.
18:02I was so touched by what you just said at my apartment.
18:06You said everything that I've wanted to say to you for the last two months.
18:10Tony's just the guy that I went out with a couple of times.
18:13He just came over to say goodbye to me before I went to the airport.
18:18When you saw him, you know, he just looked so hurt.
18:21You had a date with her tonight, too?
18:26But apparently you rebounded.
18:30Oh, I'm sorry.
18:32I thought you were sincere.
18:33Excuse me.
18:34Hold the elevator.
18:35I was, Kate.
18:36Look, this woman means nothing to me.
18:38Oh, thanks a lot.
18:40I'm sorry, Donna.
18:42I'm truly sorry.
18:43It was very inconsiderate, but that woman means a great deal to me.
18:46And, look, I'm sure you'll hate me, but I've just got to do what I've got to do.
18:50I'm really sorry about this.
18:52Why don't you stay and watch the end of the movie?
18:55Oh, thank you.
18:56But I spent quite enough time in this house tonight.
19:04Oh.
19:04This is lucky we can ride down together.
19:19Kate.
19:19Kate.
19:21Kate.
19:22Oh, my God.
19:24I was...
19:25I...
19:25I know you're upset.
19:27I don't even care about that woman.
19:28She...
19:29She's just a blind date.
19:30I didn't even want to go on.
19:31I wanted to be with you tonight.
19:32Oh, no, I overreacted.
19:34I overreacted.
19:35I've been standing here for a half an hour hoping you'd come.
19:38I never thought you'd come.
19:39I can't believe we went in so long.
19:41I had to say something to you.
19:42Oh, listen, listen.
19:43It's not your fault.
19:44I could have said something.
19:47Well, it doesn't matter.
19:48We're together now.
19:49Your boarding pass, please.
19:51Um...
19:51Oh, go ahead.
19:53Go ahead.
19:54Um...
19:55Well, couldn't you just stay one more night?
19:56Just call them.
19:57Tell them you'll come in tomorrow.
19:58I can't.
19:59I have a board meeting in the morning.
20:01Oh, damn.
20:03All right, look.
20:03I'll call you.
20:04Where are you staying?
20:05I'm staying at the Drake.
20:06But you know what?
20:07I'll call you.
20:07I'll call you the minute I get in.
20:09All right.
20:10All right.
20:10Ma'am, we're closing the doors.
20:12See, they're closing.
20:13All right.
20:13Bye.
20:13This guy...
20:14Goodbye.
20:15Bye.
20:16I'll miss you.
20:17I'll miss you.
20:18Ladies and gentlemen, I just spoke with our captain, and we're having a little technical
20:28snag.
20:29So, flight 487 to Chicago will be delayed indefinitely.
20:35I missed you.
20:36I missed you, too.
20:40The minute that door closed, I started praying for something bad to happen to your plane.
20:44You missed us like baby.
20:51It's like somebody's willing us to get together.
20:54You know, I felt that way since the moment I met you.
20:56Yeah, me, too.
20:58Look, why don't you come with me tonight?
21:01Oh, I've got to work.
21:03I can come out next weekend.
21:05Oh, yeah?
21:06Oh, great.
21:07You know what?
21:07You can meet my twin sister.
21:09She lives in Chicago.
21:11You've got a twin?
21:12Yeah.
21:13Wow.
21:13Wow.
21:14I mean, it's like, you know, there's so much we don't know about each other.
21:20Well, ask me.
21:21Ask me anything.
21:22Okay.
21:24Oh, I know.
21:25What's your favorite color?
21:29Blue.
21:30What's yours?
21:31Arctic silver.
21:33It's available on all the big BMWs.
21:36What's your favorite city?
21:38Paris.
21:39Museum?
21:40The Prado.
21:41Musical?
21:43Candide.
21:43Yours?
21:44Cats.
21:50Really?
21:52Well, I love cats.
21:54I have a cat.
21:55Would you like to meet Louis?
21:56Oh, oh, um.
21:58No, no.
21:59You know, it's allergies.
22:00Allergies.
22:01It's not really much of a pet person.
22:05Oh, really?
22:06Oh, no.
22:08All right.
22:08We'll work around then.
22:11Oh, you know what we can do when you come out?
22:13We can go jogging around the lake.
22:15Oh, Fraser.
22:16The lake is so beautiful.
22:19Do you ever jog?
22:20Uh, once.
22:22Uh, in a dark parking lot with a truck backfired.
22:27All right, we can do something that you like.
22:33What do you like?
22:34What do you like?
22:35Well, we could go antiquing.
22:37Oh, you know what?
22:39I'm not one of those people for whom antique is a verb.
22:45Well, listen, you know, this is all good.
22:50The contrasts between us will only make our relationship more vibrant.
22:56Vive la différence.
22:57Ah, ah, ah.
23:04Louis is getting to you, isn't he?
23:06All right, well, no, no.
23:08It's all right, all right.
23:09Well, you know, if this is really going to be a problem, there is a shot.
23:15Yes, and I understand they're completely humane.
23:26Oh, you, you meant an allergy shot, didn't you?
23:39I'm sorry.
23:40I'm sorry, Fraser.
23:41I'm just afraid if I move Louis any further away, they're going to think he's a bomb.
23:52It's all right, it's all right.
23:53Uh, so, uh, you were saying that you love animals.
24:00Oh, yeah, I think that's one of the main things that motivates me to work so hard.
24:05I've always had this dream to get a ranch in Montana, you know, and ski in the mornings and ride horses in the afternoons.
24:15I've just always wanted to ride horses, you know?
24:19Wow.
24:20Uh-huh.
24:21Life on a ranch, raising horses.
24:25You know, I've always pictured myself in a penthouse, raising children.
24:31You still want more children, then, huh?
24:36Yes.
24:38You love kids?
24:39Oh, yeah.
24:40I love kids.
24:41I, I, I, I don't see myself mothering one, though.
24:55You know what, just to be on the safe side, let me, let me just check and see if there's another flight to Chicago.
25:00You know what, it couldn't hurt.
25:02Excuse me.
25:03Yes.
25:04Is, is there another flight to Chicago tonight?
25:07Uh, not until morning.
25:09How about on another airline?
25:11Well, so, um.
25:16American has one connecting through Atlanta, leaving in ten minutes.
25:20Oh, Atlanta's good.
25:21That's a hub.
25:21Hey, but they're way on the other side of the airport.
25:24Oh, damn, I'll never get there.
25:26Oh, look, Kate, fate to the rescue once again.
25:29Sir, this woman has to get across the terminal post haste.
25:32Hey, pal, this will go a lot faster with just one person.
25:36Good point.
25:41Bye.
25:48It's pretty, though.
25:50Isn't it?
26:02Well, Louie, this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
26:23Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
26:38Oh, my.
26:40And maybe I seem a bit confused.
26:42Well, maybe.
26:44But I got you pegged.
26:46Ha, ha, ha, ha.
26:48But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
26:55They're calling again.
26:58Good night, everybody.
