TEXT: ACT ONE Scene One - Apartment Frasier opens the door to Roz, holding an envelope. Frasier: Oh Roz, to what to I owe the pleasure? Roz: A messenger delivered this for you after you left. It's marked "Personal and Confidential." I thought it might be important. He holds the letter up to the light, trying to see through it. Roz: Oh, I already tried that, forget it. We could use some brighter bulbs at the office. Frasier: Yes well, a brighter bulb wouldn't have admitted it. [opens the envelope] Let's see - oh! "Dear Dr. Crane, enclosed are four tickets to tonight's Sonics game as thanks for your advice on today's show. Sincerely, Allen from Earlemont." Roz: That is gonna be a great game! You should take your dad and have a boy's night out. Frasier: Well, actually Niles and I are already having a boy's night out. We're gonna go see the Northwest Chamber Ensemble's Spring Sing. After that, a late dinner at Le Cigare Volant! Roz: Ooh, throw in a couple of strippers and that still sounds boring. Frasier: And to think I was going to offer you these basketball tickets. Roz: Well, can't use 'em anyway. I have a date with this French guy. Frasier: So that's it, huh? No Americans left. Roz: That's very funny. You know, I hope it goes well, because he doesn't speak any English, and the only French I know is "oui" and "non." Frasier: I suppose you'll just be using one of those. Roz: Before you get too clever, you're the one who's going out with his brother. Frasier: [can say nothing but] Have a nice date, Roz. She leaves. Martin comes out. Frasier: Oh Dad, I've got something here that I think you might be interested in. Martin: Whoa-ho! Sonics tickets, how about that! Well, looks like
SUMMARY:
Frasier receives four free tickets to a Seattle SuperSonics basketball game from a grateful caller and Martin is delighted, thinking his son put a lot of effort into getting them. They both go with Niles to the game, and Martin sells the fourth ticket. Niles's seat number is selected to attempt a shot at the basket at half-time with the chance to win a pickup truck. He makes the shot, and spends the next few days enjoying the fame. Frasier soon becomes annoyed at all the glory Niles is receiving for a fluke shot. Meanwhile, Roz has started dating a Frenchman who speaks no English.
