TEXT: Skyline: The full yellow moon rises over the skyline. ACT ONE Scene One - Restaurant Frasier is sat at a table in a crowded restaurant. Several waiting diners are standing around, glaring at him. His cell phone rings. Frasier: Hello? Niles, you're forty minutes late! Listen, I've just finished my third basket of bread, and there is an angry mob breathing down my neck. What? Oh, you've torn your trouser cuff, I'm so sorry. For God's sakes, will you hurry it up! More hemming, less hawing! All right, I'll hold our table. Roz comes in wearing a slinky evening dress, accompanied by her new boyfriend, Luke. Frasier: Roz, Roz Doyle! Roz: [to Luke] I'll be right back. [goes over to Frasier, nervous] Hi, Frasier. I'm on a date, please don't screw it up. Frasier: No, I won't. Niles is running a little late, and I-I was just hoping maybe I could join you and your lucky chap for a drink while I wait for him? Roz: I-I really don't think so, it's kind of a romantic evening, and- Frasier: Roz, this crowd is starting to get ugly, would you please just let me come over there till Niles gets here, please? Roz: Oh, all right! Come on. Frasier: Thank you. Roz goes to join Luke. As soon as Frasier moves, people start to look at his table. He hurriedly takes off his jacket, drapes it over his chair, and sweeps the room with the protective glare of a lioness guarding her cubs (that's how he would describe it, anyway). He sits with Luke and Roz. [N.B. Gary Cole appeared in "In The Line Of Fire" with John Mahoney.] Frasier: Hi. Roz: Luke Parker, Frasier Crane, he's joining us for a quick drink
