TEXT: Skyline: Doppler Waves emanate from the top of the Space Needle. ACT 1 [Scene 1 - Frasier's apartment. Eddie is sprawled lethargically on Martin's chair. Martin and Daphne enter from the kitchen.] Martin: Well, gosh...What did I just find in my pocket? Is that tri-tip with peanut butter? [He moves to the couch and holds a bag in front of Eddie.] It is! [Eddie does not respond.] Daphne: Hmm, no luck? He's definitely coming down with something. Martin: Well, I guess I'm going to have to eat these myself. Daphne: Good idea. Reverse psychology! Martin: [munching on the food] What do you mean? [Frasier enters from the direction of his room, followed by a maintenance man.] Frasier: Well, Joe has found the source of the leak in my ceiling. It is Cam Winston's brand new washing machine! By God, for this time he's gone too far! As if his noise and noxious presence at the condo board meetings weren't bad enough. Have you ever heard of anything more...fury inspiring! Daphne: I certainly have not. Imagine the cheek of the man, installing an illegal washer-dryer. Joe: Oh, they're not illegal. A lot of the units have them. You guys have a hookup in the hall closet where you keep all those hats... [The look on Daphne's face at this revelation shows that she has found something more "fury-inspiring" than Frasier's issues with Cam.] Frasier: [quickly, to Daphne] First of all, I had completely forgotten about the hookup. Second of all, I believe the homburg is poised for a comeback, and third, we have a more immediate problem, in the form of the evil waters of Cam Winston! Joe: Yeah, about that, maybe you could ask Mr. Winston to not use the machine till we get that leak patched. Frasier: Wrong! We've got to teach Cam a lesson and shut his water off right
SUMMARY:
Frasier's feud with Cam Winston has reignited after a leak in Frasier's apartment has been traced to Cam's washer dryer , leading Frasier to bribe the building's handyman to cut off Cam's water supply. Cam then comes down to complain, and seeing Eddie rather unwell and discovering Frasier's dislike of him, suggests that his mother, a vet who happens to be staying with him, could help out. Everyone gets along well with Cam's mother, except Frasier, who sees it as consorting with the enemy. Cam is none too pleased either at his mother talking to someone from Frasier's apartment. Martin and Cam's mother decide the time has come for Frasier and Cam to reconcile, so they decide to pretend they are a couple. This causes Frasier and Cam to come to some agreement via a treaty. Niles is conducting an experiment with a new contraption (the Segway ), and is annoying everyone by refusing to share it. Daphne wants a washer dryer in the apartment.
