TEXT: ACT ONE TO GO BODLY WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE Scene One - Frasier's Apartment. Frasier is searching the living room for a book. He checks on the shelf, and on the table and in the bookcase. He calls out for help. Frasier: Dad? No answer. Frasier: Daphne? Anybody home? He soon realizes that nobody else is home. He lifts the seat of the piano stool to see if his book is inside, then sits down and begins to play a Mozart tune on the piano. Knowing no-one else will hear, he plays the opening chords of a Jerry Lee Lewis classic, then the next ones, until suddenly: Frasier: You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain! Too much love drives a man insane! Oh, what a thrill, just what a thrill! Goodness gracious, great balls of fire! Enjoying this rare moment to himself, he plays and signs with joyous abandon, finishing with a ripple along the keys and a spin around on his stool. However, when Niles and Martin walk in on him, he goes back to sedately playing the Mozart tune, as if he was playing it all along. Martin and Niles sit down. Martin: [to Niles:] I still think you're making too big a deal out of this! Niles: Dad, I have never seen Maris this angry. I swear, her eye was twitching like a frog in a science experiment. Martin: Well, when your mother'd get mad at me, I'd just grab her, bend her backwards, and give her a kiss which made her glad she was a woman! Niles: I can't do that with Maris. She has abnormally rigid vertebrae, she'd snap like a twig. Frasier: Let me guess, Maris has moved into the east wing again? Niles: Sunday was her fortieth birthday. She said in no uncertain terms she wanted no acknowledgement of it whatsoever, and in a moment I live over and over in my dreams, I believed her. Frasier: What, no gifts? No party
SUMMARY:
