Hey, frasier. What's With the bird there?

Oh, you like him? I was doing some spring Cleaning the other day,

And I came across Old plato here.

He was My father's pet.

Couldn't bear To part with him,

Not even in death, So he had him stuffed.

He's really got a lot of Sentimental value for me.

He's an excellent Example of taxidermy.

Quite valuable, I'm sure,

And I'd like you To have him.

Oh, uh...

Frasier, I don't think so.

Well, then toss it. Uh-huh.

Oh, and, diane,

I came across these slides Of our trip to europe.

I didn't want to Throw them away And didn't want them.

I thought perhaps You'd like them.

Oh. That's very Thoughtful, frasier.

I'd love To look at them.

Well, hey, I got a projector

And a screen in The back room there.

You said that projector Was broken

When I wanted to show My slides of colombian art.

Well, yes, It is broken

When you want To show your slides Of colombian art.

I don't see any reason Why we should show These slides here.

Why not? Think Those slides might Benefit everyone.

It's a chance to see Europe's cultural And artistic highlights

With an informed Commentary by people Who have been there.

Anyone who wants to See slides of diane's And my trip to europe,

Raise your hands.

You could make Disgusting noises And shadow animals.

Fine. I'll set it up.

Say, cliff.

Yeah, doc?

Slides of the european trip.

Pool room, 5 minutes. Be there.

Hey, hey! Yeah, great. Wouldn't miss it.

There's A major yawn.

Afternoon, everybody.

Hi, norm! Norm!

Norman.

Hey, what's Happening, norm?

It's a dog-eat-dog world,

And I'm wearing Milk bone underwear.

Vera has been phoning Every 15 minutes here.

So what's this for?

I told her That you'd call the Second you got in.

Well, you lied.

All right.

Norman, maybe It's an emergency.

No. I know why She's calling.

You know The account manager Job I'm up for?

Yeah. Uh-huh.

It's between me and This one other guy,

And today's the day They're supposed to Make the decision.

Cliff: ooh! Pins and Needles time, eh?

Yeah. Vera's Really a mess.

She's always had Kind of

A low threshold For excitement.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. You wouldn't Believe the tizzy She went into

The day She cracked open A double-yolked egg.

I made the mistake Of telling vera that

If I get the Promotion, we could Buy a new house.

It's always been A dream of hers To have a house

With a bathroom So big, if you Fall down,

You won't hit your Head on anything.

That's smart, That's smart.

It's a little-known fact-- 42% of all deaths in america

Are caused by Accidents in the home.

So were you.

Anyway, these guys, They're really

Giving us the full Treatment, you know?

Yesterday The executive wives

Invited vera to a Luncheon at a fancy French restaurant.

Hey, hey, huh?

The experience Really changed her.

She now refers To the velveeta

As fromage, Thank you.

Well, you must Be getting

Pretty excited About this yourself.

Not really.

Come on, man. Come on!

All right, all Right, all right. I'm psyched.

All right.

Norman, if diligence, Dedication,

And the old-fashioned Puritan work ethic

Have anything to do With it, I'm sure...

Good luck, norman.

It's time I stopped Avoiding the success

That's been Nipping at my heels All these years.

My whole life Stands before me.

I'm poised here On the brink Of destiny, guys.

Look out, world. Get off my runway!

Ho! Look out!

Hey, is everybody ready For the slide show?

Yeah, what the hell. I got nothing better to do.

All right, everybody. Just filter on in here.

There's plenty of seats For everybody.

Yeah. Come along now. Come along.

Now, if everybody's Passports are in order,

We begin our sojourn In merry old england.

Ah! Yes. Here's diane At the tower of london.

Where's the tower?

It's right there.

She's standing In front of it.

Oh.

And here she is at the Changing of the guard.

Where are The guards?

Well, if you look very Closely, you can see them

In the reflection Of her sunglasses...

Which hide her eyes,

Which hide Her emotions.

And here she is In front of big ben.

That wall looks just Like the other wall.

Ah, but imagine that At the top of this wall,

There's a clock.

Did you actually Ever take pictures

Where you could See the things Themselves?

Well, I'm sure I must have.

[click]

[click]

Ah! Ah!

Scenery, at last.

This is diane Boating on the seine.

Oh, yeah. Hmm.

You know, think that was

My last carefree day On the continent.

But I digress.

Ah, yeah. Here she is, Pretending to enjoy herself

In front of notre dame.

I was enjoying myself.

Of course you were.

I didn't mean to imply Anything else.

And on to sunny italy.

Boy, she doesn't look Happy there, does she?

No. Uh-uh.

How could she?

She was too preoccupied With thoughts of desertion.

Frasier.

I'm sorry. Ignore that.

Ah, yes.

Beautiful florence!

She looks just Like miss chambers.

It is diane, woody.

Oh.

I think this is the night I proposed to her.

Yes. You see? She's laughing at me.

I am not laughing at you!

I'm smiling for the camera.

Of course you were.

You're about to Rip out my heart.

Yes! Yes. Here she is

Plotting her betrayal in Front of the ponte vecchio.

How appropriate in the Country of lucrezia borgia!

Frasier, You're incorrigible.

Oh, diane! Wait.

No, hey, let her...

Well, that was a Thrill a minute, Huh, norm?

I'd say your florida Slides were better Than that, cliffie.

Well, I got them in The trunk of my car.

That's good place For them.

I'm sorry. I am so sorry.

I thought I was Getting better.

Frasier, sit down.

You keep saying You're getting better,

But I haven't seen Any evidence of it.

Now, hard as it may be,

You've got to stop being Preoccupied with me.

Get a hold of yourself!

Enough said. You don't have to

Hit frasier crane Over the head.

Unless, of course, You'd like to.

Where is your sense Of humor?

Frasier. Hey.

Come here. Listen, it's been

A long time since I Went out and raised A little hell.

What do you say You and I go out And get crazy?

You know, A couple of guys

Giving the Women of boston Their best shot.

This is a pity Offer, isn't it?

Basically.

Ok.

Might be just what The doctor ordered--

You know, rattle my Cage a little.

That's the ticket.

I got a few things To do for a while,

So why don't you just Sit down here and be A good little boy,

And sammy claus will Take you out later and Get your tree trimmed.

Hey, norm?

Jeff! What are You doing here?

I just wanted to have A quick beer with The new accounts manager.

Did I get the job?

I haven't heard Anything definite,

But if I had an extra Dollar to wager, I'd bet It on norm peterson.

Since I don't, Could you buy me a beer?

All right. Woody, two beers.

Come on, come on.

I just wanted to come down And wish you good luck.

There's a lot of scuttlebutt Around the water cooler

That you and morrison Are neck and neck,

But there's a lot of us Down in the trenches Who are pulling for you.

Thanks. Means a Lot, coming from Your peers.

I just hope that When you're up there In the executive suite

And I'm down in steerage, We can still be friends.

Of course.

Were we before?

Ha ha ha! Were we before?

Oh, god! That's great!

Ah! It's going to be So great to have

Somebody up there With a sense of humor

That's terrific. And by the way,

That was a brilliant job On the stallings audit.

I mean, who else would have Figured out how to write off

Mrs. Stalling's Breast reduction

As a depreciation.

Yeah. You know, I hear that stallings

Will be eligible for Parole in our lifetime.

Does anyone have more fun Than bookkeepers?

Face it, norm, You deserve to win.

You're more experienced, You're a nicer guy,

And you've got some Professional ethics, Unlike morrison.

What are you Talking about?

Are you kidding? You don't know

About morrison And the boss' wife?

They've been making it Every tuesday night

For the past 5 months.

Jeffrey...I can't Believe that.

No, I'm serious.

Once a week?

Well, I guess You're young,

You can handle that Kind of schedule.

I better shove off.

Mrs. Reinhardt?

Mrs. Reinhardt.

Hey, norm, would you Promise me one thing?

Yeah.

When you get The promotion

And it's time to Hire an assistant,

Will you Remember my name?

Sure. Yeah. What's that last name?

You big lug, you!

That's warren, with Two rs. W-a-r-r-e-n.

Well, uh, woody, a little Champagne, please.

Sammy, some cigars for All my friends, huh?

On the new Accounts manager.

No kidding? Norm, You got the job!

No, no, not yet, But just learned

A little bit of information About my competition

That should clinch it When I accidentally Let it slip.

All right, norm!

Hey, norm. Yeah.

Norm, I might have Spoken out of turn

About morrison And mrs. Reinhardt.

You wouldn't let it go Any further, would you?

Jeffrey, I'm insulted, man.

So, as I was about to say, Jeff here lets it slip

That my competition Is making the sheets sing With the boss' wife.

Whoa! That's pretty Hot information There, isn't it?

You're going To rat on him?

No. I'm going to Sing moon river

Outside their motel room.

I know you want This job pretty bad.

You think that's the Way to go about it?

I have to agree, Norman.

This just isn't Youtalking.

You're not the Ruthless, cutthroat, Aggressive type.

I don't know where You guys got the idea

That I'm just some Passive, easygoing lump.

Norm, if your buns Didn't fall asleep,

You'd never get off The bar stool.

Well, they're Wide awake now, guys,

And I want This promotion.

I want it for vera. She deserves it.

Norman, think for a moment What you're about to do.

This could even Backfire on you.

You don't even know if this Terrible rumor is true!

Well...I have A pretty good idea It might be.

Mrs. Reinhardt Came on to me at the Christmas party.

What did she say?

Move it. You're standing

In front of The cheese dip.

But she said it with Bedroom eyes, though.

I'm telling you, This is a mistake.

All right. You guys All think that

This is a bad Idea for me to use This information?

Of course we do.

Not everybody.

You know, norm, This morrison is An adulterer

And shouldn't be allowed To prosper by it.

If we let this type Of un-american activity Go unchecked,

Before you know it, Our leaders will Be in chains,

Our women will be Learning how to shot-put,

And all we vital American males will be Force-fed borscht,

Along with generous Helpings of das kapital.

That's not those Fish eggs, is it?

No, but it Smells as bad.

Well, then you tell them Woody boyd says nyet.

Atta boy, woody.

Norman, a snitch Is the lowest thing On this earth.

You know it, Little kids know it, Old ladies know it,

Dirty rotten-toothed Prisoners in dark, Wet cells know it.

Norman...If you Tell on this guy

And your friends Find out about it,

They are going to Hate your guts.

How are they Going to know?

I'll squeal Like a stuck pig.

Norm, come on. You can't do this!

All right. You're right, You're right.

Guys don't tell On other guys.

It's just not right. I can't do it.

Hey, frasier, I'm ready if you are.

Wonderful. Let's begin Our evening of revelry.

Listen, I want to get One thing straight.

Tonight, I don't want To hear one word about Diane chambers.

Ok? We'll get out there And get your mind

On some More pleasant things.

Agreed. Where are we going?

I think the first Thing we need

Is some female Companionship.

I know a couple Of the hot spots,

So why don't we Just mosey along?

Oh, let me... Let me tell you

How this evening's Going to go here.

We're going to probably Walk into some really Nice little spot.

You're going to See a beautiful woman Across the room--

I mean, hot, sexy,

A woman you dream about.

All right? Now, Her friend is for you.

All right?

Good lord. That's my boss-- Mr. Reinhardt.

Oh. That's The poor sap, huh?

Cliffie, quick. Breath test.

What do you smell When I do this?

Milwaukee.

Mr. Reinhardt.

Hi, sir. How you doing?

Coincidence that you Caught me in here.

I was just using The washroom.

At ease, peterson. We know you spend A lot of time here.

This is where We send your checks.

That's very-- That's good, sir.

Well, have a seat.

So to what do I owe This pleasure?

Well, I wanted to come And tell you in person.

It's not the easiest thing I've ever had to say,

But you didn't get the job.

I appreciate you Coming here to Tell me that, sir.

It was a toss-up Between you and morrison Right up to the end.

I have to tell you,

In virtually every way, You match up perfectly.

You both exemplify The high standards

We expect from Our employees.

In fact, we can't Find a black mark

Against either One of you.

Your behavior And morrison's,

In and out of the office, Is impeccable.

If there were Just one thing,

One tiny thing, to tip The scale in your favor,

I'd go to bat for you.

Sir, uh...

I think I ought to Tell you something.

Ahem. This is Terribly personal

And could really be Painful for you.

Uh...

Probably going to Change your life

In every way, but...

Before I get Into it, um...

Would you like A cheese doodle?

I have a craving For cheese...

Could I have some Cheese doodles, please?

No, norman.

Yeah, yes, norm. Yes, yes.

No, no, No, no, no!

Yes. Do it.

Yes, yes! No, no, no!

Who are those People, peterson,

And why doesn't one Of them want you to Have a cheese doodle?

She's, uh... She's actually...

She trying To help me watch my Dairy intake, sir.

Well, what was the Terribly personal thing

You were going to Tell me that's going To change my life?

Oh, that. Uh...

It was, uh... It was nothing.

You had something in Between your teeth.

Do you have... No, no, no.

It--I guess, you Know, it's gone now.

That combination Of syllables in Your last sentence

Must have Just kicked it Right out, sir.

I see. Well, I'd best be going.

Sir, there's Something you're not Telling me here.

I mean, why didn't I get this job?

Oh, I suppose I owe you The truth, peterson.

Yeah, you do.

It's your wife.

What does my wife Have to do with this?

She didn't fit in with The other company wives.

That's--vera's A wonderful woman! What are you--

I'm sure, in her Own circles, she is.

But that lunch the Other wives took her

To yesterday Was sort of a test.

A spouse has to be Able to mix easily

With other people In the company.

That's just great. Well, that's great.

Sir, tell you what. If my wife isn't Good enough

For this company, Neither am I.

Oh, I'm sorry you feel That way, peterson,

But I understand, And I admire you for Your loyalty to her.

Now, wait a minute. Morrison's wife is

Somehow More acceptable Than mine?

As a matter Of fact, morrison's Never had a wife.

Ah. Well, I wouldn't Be too sure about That one, sir.

Good luck.

All right. Bye.

I'm so sorry, norman.

Thanks. That was The easy part.

Now I have to break The news to vera.

What are you Going to tell her?

The truth, I guess.

When she went To lunch with

The other wives, she Didn't pass muster.

Well, maybe she Couldn't reach it.

Oh!

Hi, vera. Uh... Listen, honey,

No point beating Around the bush here.

I didn't get The promotion.

In fact, I just got So mad at the guy,

I just went ahead And quit.

Yeah, yes, the did. They gave me a reason.

They said...

That...

What they say was, I'm not The right man for the job.

Just face it, honey, I'm a loser.

I don't know why You just don't go

And pack up your bags And leave me.

Hello?

That's very funny.

That's cute.

Listen, sweetie,

I...There's something I have to tell you.

Even on a terrible day Like today, there...

I feel I'm the luckiest man In the world

Because I married you.

I don't know. I've had Two, three, maybe.

Yeah, I'll talk To you later. Yeah.

Norman?

Yeah?

That's one of The finest things

I've ever seen A man do.

Ehh... Yes!

Great. I'm unemployed.

Don't worry, Mr. Peterson.

Something else Will come along.

No, no. I mean, great, I'm unemployed!

Get me a beer here.
