TEXT: ACT ONE Scene One - KACL Frasier is taking a caller whilst Roz is seemingly on a distant planet with her head in a book. Frasier: Hello Steven, I'm listening. Steven: [v.o:] Well, you see Dr. Crane, my wife Tracy and I are having a baby and I know we're getting a little ahead of ourselves. But there seems to be a lot of different advice about whether it's okay to let your kid climb into bed with you in the morning. Frasier: Ah! Stop right there, Steven. It's okay. All relationships require that kind of close and undivided attention. Isn't that so, Roz? Roz: [nonchalantly responds only to name:] Uh-huh. Steven: But what if you and your wife enjoy, you know, making love in the morning? Frasier: Trust me, after the baby comes that won't be an issue anymore. [presses button:] This is Dr. Frasier Crane on KACL. We'll be back after these messages. Frasier presses another button and storms into Roz's booth. Frasier: Roz! How can you be reading now? Roz: Oh, I don't know, it's something I picked up in elementary school and it stuck. Frasier: Just what is it that's so captivating? Roz: [holds up book] "Slow Tango in South Seattle." Frasier: Oh God, not you too! Why is that every woman I see is carrying that book around? Roz: Because it's impossible to put down. Just read the first paragraph. I guarantee you'll be hooked. Frasier: [reads:] "There are tangos that come flowing from the wine seas, from the rust of a hundred sunken ships. This is one of those dances." Roz: Well? Frasier: There are books that make your stomach lurch and thrust your lunch ever upwards. This is one of those books! Frasier and Roz enter the other booth. Roz: You men are all alike, you have no soul. Fra
SUMMARY:
Frasier is shocked and offended to learn that an old friend (John O'Hurley) has turned a romantic episode from Frasier's past into a popular novel but did not credit him in the acknowledgments. When the writer's apology fails to provide the closure he seeks, Frasier tracks down the woman concerned, his former piano teacher (Constance Towers).
