TEXT: ACT ONE Scene One - Café Nervosa. The café is packed. Frasier and Roz are sitting at a table when Niles comes in. Niles: Frasier, Roz! Uh, I'd join you, but there's not a chair- Roz: Oh, actually I was just leaving. You can have mine. As Roz gets up, Niles reaches into his jacket. Roz: Niles! [grabs his arm] Every time I give you my chair, you wipe it off first. It's just insulting! Niles: For your information, I was reaching for my cell phone. Roz lets go. His hand comes out with his phone, and he starts dialing. Roz: Oh. I'm sorry, Niles. I stepped out of line. See you later, Frasier. Frasier: Bye-bye, Roz. Roz leaves. The phone behind the counter rings. Waiter: Café Nervosa. Niles: [into phone] Yes, this is Dr. Crane at Table Seven. Could you send someone over to dust off my chair? Frasier: Oh, for God's sake! I'll do it! He snatches Niles's handkerchief and wipes the chair down. Niles protests, checking out the window for Roz. Frasier: That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen in my entire life! Stop it, just sit down! They sit. A waiter brings Frasier's coffee. Niles: May I have one of those, please? [to Frasier] So, I understand you had a full dance card this weekend? Frasier: Yes, indeed. I met a lovely young artist at the gallery opening on Saturday. We went out for coffee afterwards, and our date lasted until, well... the cows didn't actually come home, but I did hear mooing on the front porch! [laughs] Niles: Wait, I'm drawing a blank. The only woman I remember you chatting with at the gallery was the one in the Birkenstocks who went on and on about her driftwood collages. [sniggers] Frasier:
SUMMARY:
Frasier begins a steamy love affair with Caitlin (played by guest star Lisa Edelstein ), a free-spirited artist. Whenever they are together they have wonderful sex, but hardly any conversation. Niles tries to get Frasier to admit that the relationship is based solely on sex, but Frasier insists that he has a real future with Caitlin. Frasier begins to obsess about this, and wonders if he should carry on with the relationship. Martin, Roz and Daphne all share with Frasier their memories of relationships that were steamy but superficial. Frasier is convinced that he must break up with Caitlin and goes to her loft to tell her. However, after howling at the moon, carnal desires overwhelm Frasier again.
