TEXT: Act One. Scene One - KACL That afternoon, Frasier's show has ended and Roz is looking through catalogues as Frasier enters her booth. Frasier: Good show today, Roz. Roz: Yeah. Frasier: [notices catalogues] Say, why all the catalogues? Roz: I need to buy a present. Frasier: [happily reading books] Tiffany, Cartier, Neiman Marcus... Roz: So does anything look good to you here? Frasier: Well, let's see. Who could we be shopping for? Hmm, perhaps a honey-voiced radio therapist who's birthday's just around the corner? Roz: No, this present is not for you - it's for your brother. Frasier: Oh all right, Roz, don't be coy. I think it's very smart you fishing for hints like this - you wanted to avoid a misstep like you made last year. Roz: What misstep? You said you loved Pagliacci. Frasier: Yes, I said the opera, not the porcelain crying crown figurine! Roz: Look, Niles pulled some strings and got Alice on a list for a really good preschool, so I thought I'd just get him a little thank you gift, which was why I was asking for your stupid opinion in the first place. Forget it. Frasier: All right, fine. Roz: I'll figure it out for myself. Frasier: Have it your own way, that's fine. But I tell you what, don't get him a porcelain Pagliacci. He already has one! Roz throws a catalogue at him as he exits the studio. [SCENE_BREAK] SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING NEW SOMETHING BORROWED SOMETHING DEAD Scene Two - Frasier's Apartment. Later that day, Frasier is on the couch reading a book when Martin enters through the front door. Frasier: Hi, Dad. Martin: Hey, Fras. You'll never guess who I just saw. I went over for a cup of coffee with Hank
SUMMARY:
Martin has news for Frasier: he has just seen Donny buying an engagement ring . They first plan to keep this from Daphne, but she walks in halfway through their conversation. When she hears the news, she is thrilled and excited. Martin and Frasier then plan not to tell Niles, but again he walks in at the wrong moment, and after initially pretending that Daphne's mother is dying, the real story comes out and Niles is crushed. Soon after this, Daphne visits Niles unexpectedly at his office, and asks for advice. She tells him that she had a psychic vision in which a mysterious figure in a red bow tie appeared at her wedding, and said he was "the true love of her life". Niles betrays his professional integrity and advises her not to marry Donny. Frasier, when he hears about this later, reckons that psychologically the vision means she is having second thoughts. Additionally, of course, he knows exactly why Niles gave the advice he did, and loses patience with his brother when he arrives a few moments later wearing a red bow tie. Later that evening, Daphne decides to go through with marrying Donny, claiming that perhaps her visions are false. She suddenly has another, however, and this one contains her true love holding a dragon . Martin laughs, and Daphne agrees that it is probably false. Back at home, however, Niles opens a present that Roz had offered him earlier. It contains a dragon statue.
