But earlier this morning, Dr. Crane was on the phone with his brother and he said that your relationship with Ben was driving him crazy, [Roz's jaw drops] and that he was dying to tell you but he can't. Daphne: Yes! Frasier comes in. Frasier: Roz, is this the dress you're wearing to the wedding? Frasier: [packing his briefcase] Well, do you want me to answer as a friend, or a therapist? Frasier: [trying to be tactful] Is there a reason it has to be so, so...? It's my least favorite patient. It's supposed to be, so that way, the bride, By comparison, will glow! Look! Niles starts getting disconcerted. Niles: I just spotted someone. Roz: As a friend! Roz: He is the greatest guy! Roz: To friendship? Roz: Why would I do that? Roz: [snapping] I'm going to a wedding. She falls back from the door. She's clad in the awful lime- green bridesmaid's dress, her hair wildly tangled and her mascara smeared so much so that her eyes resemble that of a panda's. The man's a compulsive womaniser. The scene changes to a street pavement, and we see the same delivery man with the dress on, complete with make-up and long, curly red wig. Think of Roz! This is Ben Collins. You know, men who are more settled, a little less flash and more substance. [sticks it out]
Roz: The next one after him.
Plan: A: a wedding; Q: What is Roz going to as a bridesmaid? A: an unattractive lime-green dress; Q: What does Roz wear to a wedding? A: comparison; Q: What is the bride radiant by? A: one; Q: How many brief relationships does Roz have? A: Frasier; Q: Who suggests Roz look for a man with more substance than superficial flash? A: Niles; Q: Who recognizes Ben Collins as his least favorite patient? A: Café Nervosa; Q: Where does Niles and Frasier see Roz with Ben Collins? A: a compulsive womanizer; Q: What is Ben Collins's problem? A: the wrong man; Q: What is Roz dating? A: a reason; Q: What does Frasier fail to give Roz to convince her to change her boyfriend? A: a conversation; Q: What does Roz have with Daphne that makes her wonder if Frasier is trying to convince her out of more than just friendship? Summary: Roz is going to a wedding as a bridesmaid, and has to wear an unattractive lime-green dress to make sure the bride is radiant by comparison. The occasion starts her thinking about settling down, instead of moving from one brief relationship to another, and Frasier suggests she look for a man with more substance than superficial flash. Soon afterwards, he and Niles see her in Café Nervosa with someone, whom Niles recognizes as his least favorite patient: a compulsive womanizer called Ben Collins. He shares this detail with Frasier, but in the strictest confidence as one therapist to another, and as a result Frasier cannot tell Roz why she is dating the wrong man without contravening his professional ethics. He still tries to convince her, without giving a reason, and after a conversation with Daphne, Roz begins to wonder if he is doing this out of more than just friendship.
