TEXT: ACT ONE TENNESSEE, ANYONE? Scene One - Frasier's Apartment. It is early morning, Frasier picks up his paper in his dressing gown, when Sherry enters in her kimono. Sherry: Morning, sunshine! Frasier: Morning, Sherry. Sherry: Coffee's on, want a cuppa? Frasier: No thank you, caffeine only weakens the immune system. I'm fighting off a flu. Daphne enters in a tight white top. Sherry: Oh, I'm sorry. Let me get you some breakfast. Frasier: No, no that's really not necessary. Sherry: Oh, no, no, you'll feel much better once you've had my scrambled egg tacos and Spam patties. She exits to the kitchen. Frasier: Yes, in keeping with the trusty adage, "starve a cold, disgust a fever." Daphne: Tea and dry toast? Frasier: Oh, bless you. In the kitchen, Sherry removes fresh biscuits from the oven. Daphne enters the kitchen and begins washing a dish. Sherry: Oh honey, I was using that! Daphne: Oh, sorry. Sherry: No problem. Listen, why don't you just relax? I'll clean up later. She takes the Spam patties out. Daphne: You know, not to criticise, but I usually serve Mr. Crane whole grain cereal for breakfast. I try to avoid giving him fried foods. Sherry: Oh, Marty loves fried foods. Daphne: Yes well, just because he likes something doesn't mean it's good for him. Sherry: True, but just because something's good for him doesn't mean that he has to be stuck with it day after day. In the living room, Martin arrives upon Frasier reading the paper. Martin: It looks like it's going to be another scorcher. Frasier: Hmm. Martin: Radio said high nineties. Frasier: [not interested] Yes, hot. Martin: Yeah, well
