Roz, who have we got? He looks over and sees Roz on the phone, turned away from him and writing on a pad. Roz: Mmm-hmm... mmm-hmm... Peeved, Frasier tosses a pencil against the glass to get her attention. She notices him, but waves him off. Frasier: Well, I suppose I'll be fielding this last one myself. Let's try line two. [pushes button] Go ahead, caller, your name and problem, please. Ernie: [v.o.] Yes sir, my name's Ernie, and I'm real angry at my dog. Frasier: Okay, Ernie. Uh, very often when people have feelings towards their pets it often reflect feelings they have about themselves and their place in society. So tell me, why are you angry at your dog? Ernie: [v.o.] Well, he keeps telling me to take off my foil helmet. Beat. Frasier: Would you hold on, Ernie? Um, someone will come on the line with the number of an expert in this sort of situation. Let's try, uh, line four. [presses button] Roz: [v.o.] Oh yes, of course I'm interested! I'll fax my resume right over! Frasier mutes the line. Frasier: Well, the news is up next, followed by the market update with Julia Wilcox. That's it for me today. This is Dr. Frasier Crane saying, good day and good mental health. He goes off the air and glares at Roz, who mouths, "I'm sorry." Kenny enters with some copies, which he lays on Frasier's console. Kenny: Another great show, doc. Frasier: Did you even listen? Kenny: You don't have to eat
SUMMARY:
Julia ( Felicity Huffman ) has finished her affair with Frasier's accountant, Avery, and is vacillating between depression and anger. Frasier offers his support, even despite her determination to break into Avery's office and cause chaos. During this escapade, they are forced to hide in a closet to avoid detection, and Frasier is surprised when Julia kisses him. She insists it was to keep him quiet, but he believes there must be more to it, and spends days trying to persuade Julia to talk it over with him. He also has to come to terms with the possibility that Roz may be leaving KACL, as she has been offered a job at another radio station as a program director. She in turn is worried because it appears she may have encountered the interviewer before, romantically. Meanwhile, Niles has discovered an unexpected enthusiasm for firearms .
