And he is nothing short of a wizard. Frasier: Gee Niles, I wonder if that's a good idea...
Niles: Frasier, I know you mean well, and I love you and respect you, so please don't take offense when I point out that, with your track record in relationships, you're about the last person who should be giving advice. He then exits to the shower room. I owe it to my marriage to give this just one more shot. I thought you were talking with Maris. It isn't Maris, but Dr. Schenkman. It's as if he's discovered the magic elixir to repair the shattered fragments of her psyche. Janice: Dan and I have never cheated on another! Janice: What, a couple of harmless flirtations at parties? Maybe this is simply a case of transference. Niles: Dr. Schenkman! Niles: Maris is having an affair with Schenkman! Roger: Gee, I really wanted to talk to him... Schenkman: Could be. They're in love, they plan to get married! You have every right to. [SCENE_BREAK]
