Sam, give me a double.

Carla: a little early For that, huh, doc?

Maybe you're right.

Cancel that double. Make it a single.

Oh, skip it altogether.

On second thought, Make it a single--

Little extra in it.

Frasier, What's your order?

Cup of coffee.

You got troubles?

I've just been invited To deliver a paper

At the state psychiatric Convention this week,

And I've got a first-class Case of the jitters.

Carla: I have a surefire way Of keeping yourself calm.

Picture Your audience naked.

Oh, thank you, carla, For that old chestnut From speech 101.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I got a twist on it.

Picture them naked And wearing black socks.

Oh, carla, That's ridiculous.

I can't see that That would...

See? I told you. It works.

Ok. Now try this angle.

Ha ha ha!

Now shut up.

Sorry.

I do see Your point, though.

That could do Just the trick.

Thank you, carla. Sure.

Oh, here comes A likely candidate.

Try it out on her.

Hello, dr. Crane. Miss howe.

Doesn't work With everyone.

Miss howe, I have a message for you.

"Mr. Sheridan is having Lunch up in melville's,

And he's gonna be Coming down to talk to you When he's through."

Oh, great. Sheridan.

Another one of the legions Of presidents, vice presidents,

And consultants This corporation

Belches forth Every five minutes.

Boy, seems like you Have to be a real loser

Not to be at least A vice president In that company, doesn't it?

I'm sorry.

He is undoubtedly here To ask me some humiliating,

Menial favor that he Couldn't palm off

On some other flunkey.

Today, I draw the line.

Today, this gal Is going to shoot down

Her first Corporate bigwig.

Oh, please.

The first time you Try to stand up To this guy,

You're going to Crumble like a bag Of potato chips.

Oh, yeah, Mr. Smart guy? Yeah.

Watch me. I'm watching you.

Oh, miss howe.

Mr. Sheridan.

I'd like To ask you a favor.

I see.

I'm going to new york On a business trip For a few days,

And I'd like you To take care of my dog While I'm away.

Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Sheridan,

But I have plans For the entire week,

And I could not Possibly break them.

I hope You understand.

That's fine. I realize This is short notice.

Thanks anyway.

Uh...My plans Could be changed!

Please, sir, let me Do this for you.

Well, if it you don't Think it would be any trouble,

Thank you, miss howe.

Rebecca: Oh, no, sir.

Thank you For the opportunity

Of knowing your dog.

God, I make myself sick.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

What'll it be, Dr. Crane?

The usual.

What's so funny?

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

What's so funny?

Ha ha! It's a private joke, sam.

Sam: hey there, Rebecca.

How do you Like living with Sheridan's pooch?

Sir broundwin the gallant From fairhaven manor,

Better known As buster, is fine.

I, on the other hand, Am a nervous wreck.

What's the matter, Rebecca?

I knew I was going To have to take care Of the dog,

But I didn't Know it was going to be

In a place that was huge And kind of like a mausoleum,

And it's stuck way out In the middle of the moors.

There are no moors In massachusetts.

I think they had them Flown in or something.

The point is, this place Is big and scary,

And I really hate it,

Oh, and to make matters Even worse, last night,

The only thing I could get on television

Was this movie about this Young, beautiful,

Dark-haired woman

That was all alone In this deserted house.

What about where that Guy cuts her head off?

Woody, please.

There's no way her head Is going to come off In one clean cut like that.

Believe me, I've seen My uncle butcher hogs,

And you have to hack And hack and hack...

And when The gardener got it--

Woody, that's enough.

Oh, right. Don't spoil the ending For everybody else,

But when you see it, Take my advice

And turn away when you hear Rmmm-rmmm-rmmm.

Woody! Rmmm-rmmm-rmmm.

Woody, I am just A tiny bit on edge.

Oh. Sorry, miss howe.

[blender whirs]

Damn it, woody!

Some bar manager-- Afraid of a blender.

Let me see here.

Rebecca howe, All alone and scared

In a big old house.

Sounds to me like A job for sammy's Security company.

We get in Before the burglars do.

That's what I like about you, sam.

Your pants Are always thinking.

Frasier, darling.

Hello there, Peanut butter cup.

You're late for lunch.

Yes. I know. I'm sorry.

I'm sure you have A very good excuse.

Well, actually I do.

I started having lunch In another restaurant,

Then remembered We had a date.

Well, would you like To watch me eat?

I wouldn't miss it.

Ha ha ha!

What's so funny?

It's nothing, really,

Just this Relaxation exercise I've been doing.

I've been imagining People naked and wearing Black socks, you see,

To relieve my anxiety Over my speech.

Frankly, it's Worked miracles.

I've been Doing it all week.

Haven't even Thought about it once.

When do you Present that?

My god.

[rustling]

Buster, Did you hear that?

Calm down.

It probably Wasn't anything.

It was probably just a tree Branch against the window...

Or leatherface.

Oh, god. Oh, god.

[knock knock]

Oh, god, buster, He's at the front door.

[whimpers]

Good dog.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Aah!

How in the hell Did you get in here?

You left The back door open.

I just followed some guy Carrying a meat hook.

That is real funny, sam.

You almost gave me A heart attack.

I'm sorry. It's all right. I'm here now.

It wasn't funny. I'm sorry.

I have to admit, I'm glad you are here.

When the lights went out And the storm came,

I started getting Scared to death.

What happened To that $10,000 Champion watchdog?

He's hiding In the kitchen.

Oh, god, I can't Seem to calm down!

My heart is just Beating so fast!

Oh, yes, it is.

Sam, get your hand Away from that.

I was doing pretty good Till the lights went out.

Then this house really Started giving me the creeps.

Oh. Well, hey, Don't worry.

I got some candles here.

You brought Your own candles? Well, yeah.

This kind of thing Happens in big old Spooky houses a lot.

I like To be prepared.

Sammy carries Whatever he needs.

Sam, did you Come out here

Because you were Concerned I was scared,

Or did you come out here To get me in the sack?

Hey, I came Out here because I was concerned

And scared That I'd never Get you in the sack.

Kidding. I'm kidding. My goodness.

Sam, I really am Glad you're here.

It makes me feel A lot better,

But a man and A woman can Be together

In an evening Without ending up

Rolling On the floor.

I know that's true Of some people,

But, sweetheart, We're good-looking.

Sam... What?

Sit down here a minute. I want to tell you something.

Ok.

Now, believe this Or not,

Even good-looking people

Can spend An evening together

Without having sex.

Have you ever Heard of conversation?

Yeah, I've heard Of conversation.

Contrary to what A lot of people think,

I'm not that dumb.

Here. Come on. Try me.

Sit down. Let's conversate.

Ok. So what do you Want to talk about?

Sex.

Sex is obviously The only thing on your mind.

So forget it. I'm going to bed.

If you want to stay here, You sleep on the couch.

Come on. I can sleep on A couch at my place.

Fine. Go sleep On your couch.

All right, if that's What you want.

I'll leave you all alone In this big old Scary house.

Whoo!

I'm moving the table.

Don't pull a muscle.

I'm serious. I'm moving the chair.

You're breaking My heart.

I got my hand On the doorknob.

I'm opening the door.

I knew it. Pajama time.

Not you. The dog!

What? Buster! Buster!

Whew! Boy, can That sucker haul.

He's gone.

Well, hey, don't Worry about it.

[doorbell rings]

[telephone rings]

Hello. Yes, mr. Sheridan?

Wow, you know, norm, I can't get over this place.

What are you Talking about?

You live in 28 Square feet,

And your bed folds Out of a couch.

You're going to what?

Oh, god! What is it?

A car. It's sheridan. We're doomed.

[doorbell rings]

Uh...

Woody! You found him!

Oh, god! I don't know Who to kiss first.

I just had A breath mint.

Hey, man. Way to go.

Where did you Find him?

At an auto Wrecking yard.

What were you Doing there?

Just browsing.

Oh, buster, buster. Good old buster.

Oh, no. That's not buster. That's satan.

What? Who?

I was brushing the snow Off of the hubcaps,

And I saw satan here Chewing through a tire,

And I thought, "He looks just Like that picture of buster."

So I borrowed him

In case we don't find The other dog.

Woody, take him To the kitchen.

I only hope we can Fool sheridan

With this fleabag.

He's no fleabag, Miss howe.

He's a trained Attack dog.

Come on, Sweetheart.

An attack dog? He brings an attack dog Into this house?

Come on. His heart's In the right place.

Hello.

Oh, god! You found him?

Oh, that's wonderful!

Yeah. Give me Your address.

Uh-huh.

Ok, I'll come And get him right now.

A neighbor at the end Of the road found him.

Here's the address. You go get him.

I'm on my way.

Woody, bring satan Out here, please.

Woody, We found buster.

You can take satan Back to the junkyard.

Miss howe, He hadn't finished His snack yet.

I gave him something Out of the refrigerator.

Actually, he opened The door and took it,

But I got Out of the way.

Woody, whatever. Just take him out of here.

Go, go. Hurry. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Sheridan is here. He just drove up.

Woody, cancel that.

Sam, you go around back way And get buster, all right?

Woody, you take satan Into the kitchen And get him some kibble.

We hope that sam gets Back in time with buster So we don't have to use him,

But if he doesn't, Get back in time with buster,

Then we have to convince Sheridan that satan Is buster until sam gets back

And we can switch Buster for satan,

Or I can just put Steak sauce on my throat

And let satan chow down.

I understand everything Perfectly, miss howe.

Come on, sam. Let's get your kibble.

Ha ha! Ha ha ha!

I was just kidding, Miss howe.

[door opens]

Oh...

I'm back.

Where's my big boy?

Where's my buster?

What, no hello? No description Of the trip?

No slides?

I finished early, so I Caught a late flight.

[whistles]

Here, boy! Where are you, boy?

Here, buster! He is, um...

He's sleeping In the kitchen. That's right.

Miss howe, Who's this man?

This man? He's woody.

He's my boyfriend.

Wow, miss howe.

Your boyfriend Calls you miss howe?

I was his teacher.

I got real lonely, And I thought

I'd call him over here For company.

I hope you don't mind.

No, of course not. Listen. I'm very tired.

I just want to say Hi to my dog And then go to bed.

So, if you Don't mind...

You want us To leave?

He wants us To leave, woody.

Great! How about A burger and a movie?

Then we can go Someplace and park.

Later!

First, I'd Like stand here

And have a little chat With mr. Sheridan

About his trip.

Not now. I want to see buster.

No! Mr. Sheridan! Yes, miss howe.

Come on, buster! Let's wrestle.

Woody, we can't Let him do this.

Don't worry, miss howe.

He won't attack unless He hears the command word-- Cochise...

Cochise?

Well, he's never Going to say that.

Or unless He provokes him.

[grr]

Take that, Big boy.

I got your tail. I got your tail!

Hey, it worked. He thinks that's his dog.

You're right. If he lives, We fooled him.

Sammy To the rescue.

Sam, get that Mutt out of here! What?

Sheridan's In the kitchen With satan.

This is no time For folk singing.

Oh! Oh! Oh! What are we going to do?

All right. Go out the front.

Sneak around the back.

I'll try to divert Sheridan's attention

While you make The switch,

But remember, They look exactly alike.

All right. Come on, boy. Come on.

Boy, Buster is frisky.

I was playing "Get my thumb",

And he was practically Bouncing off the ceiling.

Well, I bet he was Just so glad

To have You back.

Yeah. Well, I'm going to Feed him now, miss howe.

No. I already Fed him.

We ordered out. Chinese.

[woof woof]

[grr] [woof]

That sounds like Two dogs in there.

Mr. Sheridan, There's something

I've been wanting To ask you.

Is this A bowling trophy?

No, it's my... Late wife's ashes.

Well, she was A good-sized woman.

Excuse me. I want to see to buster.

Mission Accomplished.

I made the switch. Satan is in the car.

Oh, good.

Well, there was Only buster in there.

Good! Well, I'll Be going. Bye-bye.

Good night. Miss howe!

Who's that man?

I'm her boyfriend.

That's right! He's my boyfriend.

Miss howe, We have to talk.

Look at him.

You're not so tough When you're not running loose, Are you?

Ha ha ha! Bbll-bll-bll-bll.

I wouldn't do that, If I were you, cliff.

If you look Very closely,

You'll see He has several tiny Little mail bags

Notched On his leash.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm real scared, norm.

Heh. Look at me shake. Bbll-bll-bll-bll.

Woody, I thought you Were going to return

The hound from hell.

Oh, the guy is Coming for him tomorrow,

Unless, of course, You'd like to reconsider

And keep him As our mascot.

That's exactly what This bar needs--

A loaded weapon That goes off

When you say the word C-o-c-h-I-s-e.

Great! I spelled it right.

Frasier: greetings, all. Sam: hey, doc.

Well, there's A sturdy fellow.

Hello, boy. How are you?

What's this?

"Don't say cochise To this dog."

Woody, He didn't attack.

No. He didn't.

Maybe he didn't hear The attack word.

Frasier...

Cochise!

Cochise. Cochise, cochise!

Rebecca: This is buster!

I thought you were Going to make the switch.

I did, but they were Tearing at each other,

And it got confusing.

I was trying To separate them

And protect my goodies At the same time.

Hey, if this Isn't satan, Then satan is--

Chewing the spleen Out of mr. Sheridan.

All right. Sam, hand me the phone.

Woody, come around here And untie buster.

I've got to call mr. Sheridan And warn him.

We've got to make Another switch.

Hello. This is rebecca howe.

Yes. I need to speak To mr. Sheridan, please.

I don't care If he's asleep!

Wake him up. This is an emergency.

Well, all right. Would you--

Please just go upstairs And tell the man

Not to say the word "Cochise" Around his dog.

Wait... I just remembered.

The attack word Isn't cochise.

It's that other Indian name.

Oh, woody, what Other indian name?

There are a million Other indian names, My friend.

There's crazy horse, Sitting bull,

Pocahontas, Geronimo--
