ACT ONE Scene One - Street
Frasier is driving Niles in his BMW. Apparently he has been listening to Frasier rant for the entire drive. As soon as he's gone, Eddie jumps down and paws at the box Daphne was carrying. Because that's not healthy. Cut to - KACL Roz is waiting in her booth. Frasier quickly turns around the gate post and toward the exit gate. Frasier starts the car, but instead of raising the gate, George flips the sign in his window from "$2.00" to "$4.00." Frasier takes a ticket. Frasier: That's not parking! George, unsatisfied, points to the broken gate, prompting Niles to pull out some more money. George: It's two dollars for any portion of twenty minutes - one second, ten minutes, whatever. George: [holds out a clipboard] Just sign the form that says, "unable to pay," and send us a check. He is looking weary. I have to check with him, but he's free most of the time. I invoke my right to peaceful protest! Man 2: No, no, come out here and explain it to us! Martin: For nine years, he's felt the comfort of knowing you were here every night, and making him his breakfast every morning, and he's come to depend on that. My show's on in fifteen minutes! Niles bends down to look at Frasier through the window, then gets back in the car. Niles is shown to be carrying a birdcage on his lap. Niles: Other motorists are getting angry. Roz: [to Kenny] He knows that. She goes to commercial. Some puzzle, there's a picture of what's it's going to look like right on the box! You see, I pulled into this garage, decided not to park, and now I want to leave, but they still insist on collecting two dollars! [SCENE_BREAK]

Summary: While driving Niles to return a birdcage , on the way to KACL, Frasier turns his BMW into a multi-storey car park and takes a ticket. Suddenly realising that his show starts in fifteen minutes, he promptly drives round to the exit gate and explains to the attendant, George ( Luis Guzman ), that he decided not to park. George insists that he still pay $2, which is the standard charge for any portion of twenty minutes. Frasier objects on principle to paying when he has not parked, but when George refuses to let him out without paying, he decides to stay and get his money's worth, sitting in his car which is blocking the exit to all other motorists. Niles agrees that he is right to be frustrated, but tries to discourage his brother from this "peaceful protest" (as he insists on referring to it). Eventually, 20 minutes passes and Frasier pays $2. However, because he took time making a long speech he now owes $4. He then tells Niles to "hold on" and proceeds to drive through the barrier. Niles returns later at night and pays for the damage. Roz is compelled to start the show at KACL without him, and one careless remark while answering a caller's problem leads to the entire station discovering that she slept with Frasier. Meanwhile, it's a sad day in the Crane household as Daphne finishes moving out and Martin realizes just how much he's going to miss not having her around all the time.
