TEXT: Skyline: The light atop the space needle glows. ACT I [Scene 1 - A newly constructed home. Frasier, Roz, and others are in work clothes. The house is decorated for its presentation to the new owners. The team leader addresses the volunteers.] Leader: So, on behalf of myself, the volunteers, and especially the team from KACL [Frasier and Roz give a quick enthusiastic cheer.], I'd like to welcome you, the Grant family, to your new Habitat For Humanity house. [The group starts to cheer. Frasier interrupts.] Frasier: Uh, Ronnie, if I may... [We see the Grant family, husband, wife, and preteen daughter, for the first time. Mr. Grant is about to accept the welcome, but is interrupted by Frasier's speech.] Frasier: When my co-workers first signed me up for this project without my knowledge, I was, uh--well, I'll say it--irked. But I'm glad they did. Because I've had a chance to learn the pride that comes when you build something with your own two hands. As carpenter's helper, I sanded that newel post out there. [We see the Grants becoming impatient at Frasier's speech.] As painter's helpers's assistant, I stirred the paint for the trim in the kitchen. I was also surprised to learn that electricians [looking at Roz] don't have helpers. Roz: It's getting dark... Frasier: Oh, right, right, of course. [to the Grants] Enjoy your new home. [handing keys to Mr. Grant] I know I did, and if ever these walls should tumble...keep an eye out for my Harvard class ring. Thank you. Mr. Grant: It's hard to believe the house is finally ours. We can't thank everybody enough. Thank you. [Everyone applauds. The group disperses.] Roz: Are you sure you took enough credit for the house? Frasier: I took just enough, Roz. It's not my fault I'm
SUMMARY:
A team of volunteers from KACL have helped build a house for the charity "Housing for Humanity", and although Frasier's contributions were modest he is still proud of them. In fact, he sees it as his right to call round the house several times once the Grant family has moved in, to advise them on how to decorate the place. At first they treat this as an honour, but it quickly becomes a conflict between their very different tastes, and Roz decides to intervene. After a heated argument, Daphne's mother has started working at Café Nervosa in an attempt to make her daughter feel guilty, but Daphne is not prepared to be manipulated. Martin and Eddie become a sensational safety act at a local primary school , at least until Martin is taken ill and Niles is forced to stand in at the last minute.
