TEXT: ACT ONE Scene One - KACL The Frasier Crane Show. Frasier: [on air] Well, I think we have time for one last call, who's up next, Roz? Roz: We have Elliot, on line three. Frasier: Hello, Elliot. I'm listening. Elliot: [v.o. He sounds like a thirteen year old] Well, you see Dr. Crane, I have a problem. I'm a salesman... Frasier: Ah, a salesman? How old are you? Elliot: Forty-three. Frasier: Forty-three? Elliot: Yes. Frasier: Now tell. Let's be truthful. Elliot: I'm forty-three. Frasier: Elliot, we were not born yesterday. Clearly you are just an adolescent, trying to prove to your little friends how clever you are by getting on the radio. But you know what you are really doing, you're taking time away from people with real problems. Elliot: Hey, I'm forty-three, I was born in New Providence, and I have a very young-sounding voice that people make fun of all the time! Frasier: [contrite] Oh, I'm so sorry, Elliot, that was very insensitive of me. Elliot: Hah! Gotcha, Dr. Doofus! On the other end we hear Elliot and a group of boys laughing. Frasier: Yes, indeed you did "get us," Elliot, but we are not so stuffy here on this program that we can't laugh at ourselves from time to time. [off-air] Roz, can't you keep these pimply- faced little maggots off the air?! [on air] Well, that's our show for today. This is Dr. Crane signing off and wishing you good mental health. He goes off the air and exits through Roz's booth. Frasier: Have a good weekend, Roz. Roz: Wait, Frasier. I want to ask you
SUMMARY:
After Martin bemoans his sons' rarefied tastes and avoidance of all that is ordinary, they try to prove him wrong by fixing the toilet; they make the problem worse, call in a plumber, and find that they have hired Danny Kriezel (John McGinley), a bully who tormented Niles long ago, and his brother, who bullied Frasier.
