TEXT: ACT ONE WHIMSY Scene One - Frasier's Apartment It's Halloween! The doorbell rings. Martin opens the door to Niles, wearing a bowler and clenching a cigarette holder in his teeth. Niles: Trick or treat! Or should I say, "Pip Pip!" Martin: What's with the outfit? Niles: This is part of your costume for tonight. I just picked it up for you. Martin: What? I thought you said you were getting me a Sherlock Holmes outfit. He didn't wear a bowler. Niles: Well, they were all out of Sherlock Holmes, so I put together something else for you. Don't worry, it's another detective. Tonight, you'll be Lord Peter Wimsey! Martin: Who the hell's that? Niles: He's a celebrated bon vivant sleuth from a series of novels by Dorothy L. Sayers. Martin: Well, I'm not going anywhere where I have to tell people my name's "Wimsey!" Ah no, forget it, I'm just gonna wear my old police uniform. Niles: You can't. It's a Halloween ball for the Library Association, you have to come dressed as a character from literature. Martin: Oh, why didn't I just tell Sherry I'd go with her to visit her mother in prison? Niles: Come on, Dad, it'll be fun! I'm going to go as Cyrano de Bergerac-musician, philosopher, fighter, poet! [he grabs Martin's cane and brandishes it like a rapier] The greatest friend and the bravest swordsman alive! [notices] Eew, what's all over your cane? Martin: I don't know. I dropped it in the movie theater last night. Niles hands the cane back and wipes his palm with his handkerchief. Frasier and Daphne come out, laughing and admiring a set of photos. Frasier: I love this picture! You look adorable in that! Daphne: Oh, I do not! You just like it because you look
SUMMARY:
Niles is throwing a literary-themed Halloween party, and Roz fears she might be pregnant. Frasier convinces Roz to go to Niles's party, hoping that will take her mind off her possible pregnancy. That night at the party, Frasier accidentally lets out that Roz might be pregnant and soon the wrong gossip spreads among the party guests. The entire ordeal ends with a drunken Niles proposing to Daphne, who he thinks is pregnant with Frasier's baby. Just as Frasier is attempting to reassure the party guests about what is really going on, Roz interrupts him. She lets everyone know that she has just heard from her doctor confirming the pregnancy. Camille Donatacci, who married Grammer two months before this episode aired, appears as "Eve."
