TEXT: ACT ONE Scene One - KACL Frasier is doing his show. In Roz's booth, Kenny is hovering over her anxiously. Roz: We have Tom on the phone from Woodenville. Frasier: [presses button] Hello, Tom. I'm listening. Tom: [v.o.; anxious, speaking rapidly] Thank God, I thought I'd never get through. Dr. Crane, I'm-I have a problem, and I don't know what to do. I'm supposed to get married soon, but I'm having second thoughts. Do you think it's just cold feet, or-or what? Frasier: All right, Tom, just calm down, let's work through this thing together, you and I. Are you in love with this girl? Tom: Of course - yes - I, I think. Frasier: Now remember, Tom, this is the person with whom you'll be spending the rest of your life. That is a long time. Tom: It is, isn't it? Frasier: Yes. In fact, getting married is probably the biggest decision you will ever make in your life. It requires time, temperance, and thought. From Tom's end comes the sound of the "Wedding March" being played. Frasier: Tom, what's that music? Tom: Sorry, Dr. Crane, no time to talk, I have to tell Monica the bad news. Frasier: Wait, wait, wait, Tom, no! But he's hung up. Frasier cuts off the dial tone. Frasier: Oh, dear. Well, if anyone out there happens to know Monica, just tell her to call in on Monday and I'll move her right to the head of the line. Um, meanwhile, this is Dr. Frasier Crane, saying good day, and good mental health. He goes off the air and sighs. Kenny: Please, Roz! Roz: [half-laughing] No way! Kenny: Come on! I wouldn't be asking you if it wasn't an emergency! Frasier: [coming in] Is everything OK? Kenny
SUMMARY:
Martin is about to start a new job as a security guard , and the occasion dredges up memories of the fateful day years ago when he was shot. These memories appear in flashback : while out on patrol with his partner Frank, he pleads with Martin to pull into a convenience store so he could get a slushie. Martin ultimately gives in and pulls into the parking lot of a store that was being robbed. Martin got shot and his shooter got away. Frasier has ordered a special congratulatory cake, which Roz delivers. Meanwhile, Niles has bought Daphne tickets to a Billy Joel concert for that evening, and she has bought him tickets to a festival of Mongolian throat-singing , also for that evening. This means they have to decide which to attend, so Niles offers Frasier the tickets to the throat-singing concert. Martin then points out that someone has to walk Eddie at 10 p.m, so as he prepares to leave for work, the others discuss (and argue) who should do this job. When Roz arrives with the cake, she finds herself drawn into the argument.
