TEXT: Act 1 Scene 1 - The Parking Garage Fade in. Frasier pulls his BMW into his parking space. Just after, Cam Winston pulls his HMMV into the spot to his left. Frasier opens his door, but it can only swing about six inches. Cam gets out of his car. Frasier: Excuse me. Cam? Cam walks around the back of the cars. Cam: Oh, hello Frasier. Still driving a sedan? Frasier: Yes, well, at least mine fits in the allotted space. Unlike this new... behemoth you're driving. Cam: Actually, it's the new Behemoth XL. Well, use care getting out. Frasier: Come back here! You know very well I can't get out! Cam: Oh, I'm sorry. Let me see what I can do about that. He walks back to the driver's side of his car as Frasier pushes his head up through his sun roof. Cam: Oh, tough break. If I move I'll be over the line on the other side. Frasier: But you're over the line on this side. Cam: Actually, if you were standing out here, you would see that I'm just on the line, which, as we both know, is in. Frasier: If I were standing out there, we wouldn't be having this conversation! Cam: I wish I could help. Maybe next time you'll think twice before calling the police when I have a party. He begins walking away. Frasier: What makes you think it was me? Cam: You're the only one in the building I didn't invite. He clicks his car alarm and leaves. Frasier, grunting, pulls himself up through the sun roof to sit on the roof of his car. He pulls his hands up, worried about the finish, takes off his shoes and tosses them to the floor, then tries to ease down the back of his car. Slipping, he grabs at the pipe above his car, pulling it loose and pouring water over and into his car and himself. FADE OUT [N.B. Though Cam Winston, and the details of the feud described above, appear first in Season
SUMMARY:
Frasier is furious when he finds his parking space in Elliott Bay Towers encroached upon by the new SUV belonging to Cam Winston, his neighbor and nemesis. He takes the case to the condo board, and is delighted when his impassioned oration persuades them to rule that Cam must park in the sub-basement. However, Cam lives in the apartment above Frasier's, and he devises a suitable method of revenge, involving the American flag . Niles asks Daphne to move in with him, and she eagerly accepts, but when she receives a phonecall from her mother announcing an impending visit, she asks that the move be postponed. When Gertrude Moon arrives, Niles discovers why: she still believes Daphne to be a virgin. Rather than bring her husband, Gertrude turns up with Simon, Daphne's brother. For the next few days, both Crane brothers have a terrible time to endure, as Gertrude stays with Niles and Simon with Frasier.
