Act 2

Scene 1 - Dr. Campbell's house.
Fade in.  Frasier and Lilith are outside the door; they ring the 
bell and Dr. Campbell, in an apron, answers.

 Frasier: Ah, yes, Dr. Campbell, I hope we're not disturbing 
          anything important.
Campbell: Well, actually, I'm a bit frazzled trying to get my 
          Thanksgiving dinner together.
  Lilith: I'm afraid I lost an earring here this morning.
Campbell: Well, I'll have a look around and call you if it turns up. 
 Frasier: Well, um...
  Lilith: Do you think I might be able to take a peek right now?  I 
          wouldn't even think of asking, but it was a treasured gift 
          from... Golda Meir.
Campbell: Very well. [They come in.]
  Lilith: Thank you.
Campbell: Forgive me.  I must turn the heat down on the pumpkin 
          soup. [He exits to the kitchen.]
 Frasier: Lilith, we rehearsed everything we were going to say on the 
          ride over.  Where the hell did Golda Meir come from?
  Lilith: Well, I admit it wasn't half as clever as "Umm..." but it 
          got us in.
Campbell: [from kitchen] Any luck?
 Frasier: Not yet.

Dr. Campbell comes out of the kitchen.

  Lilith: We're so sorry for this.  The whole ride over, we kept 
          saying "Why did this have to happen at the only school 
          that matters to us?"
 Frasier: Yes, as you know, Marbury is our first choice.
  Lilith: Oh, look, here it is.  That was lucky.
Campbell: Remarkably so, considering that wasn't the chair you were 
          sitting in.
  Lilith: Umm...
 Frasier: Well, I suppose it's time we be shoving off.
Campbell: I'm curious.  I've always been a great admirer of Mrs. 
          Meir.  How did you meet?
  Lilith: Oh, well, it's a funny story.  Frasier you tell it much 
          better than I do.
 Frasier: Oh, yes, yes, yes.  Back in college days, Lilith spent a 
          summer at a kibbutz.  And, uh, was dating her grandson, 
          Oscar.
Campbell: That would be Oscar Meir? 
 Frasier: Yes, well just imagine the ribbing he took.
Campbell: [leading them to the door]  Indeed.  Well it was so good 
          seeing you both again.  Enjoy you're Thanksgiving.  
          Marbury thanks you for your interest.
 Frasier: Wait, wait a minute.  "Marbury thanks you for your 
          interest."  We know what that means.
Campbell: Oh good, then you'll have no trouble interpreting this.

He slams the door in their faces.  

FADE TO: 

Scene 2 - Lilith's Kitchen
Fade in.  Niles is cooking.  Frasier and Lilith storm in.

 Lilith: Of all the names in the universe, you had to pick Oscar?
Frasier: You started us down that path of insanity.  Golda Meir.  
         Golda My-ass!

 

 

I can quote FRASIER for some situations in life.  😎
