Daphne: [reads] The Bryce Academy Crier! Five years ago Lilith divorced me; five years before that I was left at the altar; five years before that I fell face first into the poison ivy! Frasier carries on fumbling about in his scrappy T-shirt and covered in muck, as a man dressed in a tuxedo looks on and realises who he is. Frasier: Won't they go green with envy when I top them all with this
story of my life: Frasier Crane, unattached, unemployed and living with his father. He mistook me for a street person. It seems to be leaning. Niles is miffed. Niles: He thinks the Fates are conspiring to humiliate him at every reunion. Roz: What curse? This is his favorite kind. What if somebody at the reunion knows it's not true? [doorbell sounds]
Frasier: Believe me, dad.

A: Lilith; Q: Who did Frasier divorce? A: Diane; Q: Who left Frasier at the altar? A: the Bryce Academy; Q: What school reunion does Frasier not want to attend? A: his father; Q: Who does Frasier live with? A: shabby; Q: How does a former classmate describe Frasier's appearance? A: rumors; Q: What does Frasier fear will spread at the reunion? Summary: Frasier believes reunions are cursed as they always happen when he is at a low point in his life, such as his divorce with Lilith and being left at the altar by Diane. He is thus not keen to go on a reunion of the Bryce Academy, where he expects to be humiliated for being unemployed, single and living with his father. He reconsiders after a former classmate sees him looking shabby, fearing that rumors may spread at the reunion that he is homeless.
