TEXT: Act 1 Scene 1 - Frasier's Apartment Fade in. Frasier is sitting at the dining table, reading. Daphne and Niles come in the front, wearing athletic clothes. Daphne: Hello Niles: Hey. Frasier: Ah, the weekend warriors have returned. Daphne: Yeah. You better watch out, Dr. Crane, I'm getting pretty good at kickboxing. She does a high kick at him. Niles: It's true. She hits so hard they're calling her "The British Pound." Daphne: You hit pretty hard yourself there, "Nails." [She kisses him.] I'm going to hop in the shower. She heads for her room. Frasier: "Nails"? Niles: Oh, you scratch one guy... Oh, my electrolytes are plummeting. Care to join me in a sherry? Frasier: Ah, actually, I'd love to, Niles, but I'm off to see Dr. Tewksbury. He gets up and puts the book away. Niles: Oh, I didn't realize your mentor was still in town. Frasier: Yes, and because of it, I've been the fortunate recipient of some informal therapy. It's really been quite enlightening. You know, I consider myself lucky to be in the hands of such a master. Niles: Well, I'm happy for you, Frasier. He is a gifted psychiatrist, even if I don't share your god-like worship of him. Frasier: Oh, I simply have a healthy respect for the man, Niles. It's hardly worship. Niles: Oh, please. You're one step away from seeing his image appear in a tortilla. Daphne comes hurrying from her room in her bathrobe. Daphne: Niles, thank heavens you're still here! Niles: What's wrong? Daphne: You can't go to Nervosa today. Niles: Why not? Daphne: I just had a psychic vision that something bad's going to happen to you. Niles: Oh, come on, Daphne
SUMMARY:
Frasier has been receiving some informal therapy from Dr. Tewkesbury, his old Harvard mentor, whom he holds in the highest esteem. He runs into him unexpectedly one day at Café Nervosa , and introduces him to Roz. He is subsequently startled when, calling round to Roz's apartment a few days later, he finds Dr. Tewksbury there with Roz, wearing one of her robes. After that, Frasier cannot get the image of his esteemed mentor in a silk robe out of his head. Daphne makes Niles promise not to go to Nervosa after she has a premonition that something bad will happen to him there. She later catches him in there with a coffee, and is very angry. They decide to call in a specialist, who can apply scientific methods to test her alleged psychic abilities.
