TEXT: Act One. Scene One - Café Nervosa. Frasier is sat when Roz arrives and sits with him. Roz: Frasier, thank God you're here. Frasier: Why, what's wrong, Roz? Roz: My book club meets tonight and I haven't read the book. Frasier: Oh my, that is a literary 911! Wait, you joined a book club? Roz: Why is that so hard to believe? I like to read. Frasier: What's his name? Roz: [giving in:] Jason. Frasier: A-ha. Roz: We met at a book store and he asked me to join his club. He's separated, but I think it's for keeps. He was buying "Divorce for Dummies." Frasier: Sounds like a real catch, Roz. Roz: Anyway, I was supposed to read "The Great Gatsby" last night but I couldn't get Alice to sleep. So could you give me a quick summary? [takes out book and notes:] Frasier: Well, all right, er, it was a time known as the Jazz Age. Wall Street was booming, bootleg hooch was flowing and the young people were doing a new dance called the Charleston. Roz: Where were you when I was trying to get Alice to sleep, could you just get to it already? Frasier: Oh, all right, fine. [notices a blond woman who has just entered] Lorna Lenley! Roz: Okay, who's she? Gatsby's girlfriend? Frasier: The woman who just walked in. She was the great beauty of my high school. She had brains, looks, style and the way she filled out a mohair sweater - well, suffice it to say it was snugger on her than on the goat! Roz: Why don't you go over and say hello? Frasier: Oh God, Roz, she wouldn't even remember me. She was with the in-crowd. The only people that knew me debated, recited or were on a six-month visit from Abu
