-Hey, Frasier.
-Hello, Poppy.

00:00:10,882 --> 00:00:14,637
Have your hearing checked. I've
been yelling "wait up" for four blocks.

3
00:00:14,721 --> 00:00:16,138
Well, I must be getting old.

4
00:00:16,222 --> 00:00:17,806
Like an old man could walk that fast.

5
00:00:17,890 --> 00:00:19,726
You were practically
running the last block.

00:00:19,810 --> 00:00:21,895
Did I tell you about my
uncle who ran everywhere?

7
00:00:21,979 --> 00:00:24,314
-He ran to the store…
-That's a very amusing story.

8
00:00:24,398 --> 00:00:26,860
I'll see you at the station, all right?
Roz.

00:00:27,277 --> 00:00:29,111
Good God, thank God you were here.

10
00:00:29,195 --> 00:00:30,530
I know exactly how you feel.

11
00:00:30,614 --> 00:00:33,199
Last week I ducked into a
bathroom stall to get away from her,

12
00:00:33,283 --> 00:00:35,786

women already in there.

13
00:00:36,871 --> 00:00:38,914
-Gosh.
-I have a favor to ask.

14
00:00:38,998 --> 00:00:41,333
A friend of mine is running
a charity dinner dance…

15
00:00:41,417 --> 00:00:42,919
Say no more. What do they need?

16
00:00:43,003 --> 00:00:44,796
An autographed picture
for their silent auction?

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,965
That would be a silent auction.

18
00:00:47,049 --> 00:00:48,174
Oh, very funny.

00:00:48,258 --> 00:00:51,554

They're a hundred bucks each.

I don't know, Roz.
I'd have to take a date.

21

31
00:01:13,829 --> 00:01:17,165

33

35
00:01:25,467 --> 00:01:26,677
Well, with good reason.

-The woman is a wind sock.
-Mm-hmm.

37

I'm wondering if someone
isn't protesting a bit too much.

38
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:35,061
She's very attractive,
obviously well-bred.

39
00:01:35,145 --> 00:01:37,439
Perhaps all this pigtails
and inkwell hostility

40
00:01:37,523 --> 00:01:39,482
is actually a latent attraction.

you're really onto something there.

46

Why don't you take my seat and
he can find out for himself? Ta-ta.

47
00:01:58,296 --> 00:01:59,380
Well,

00:01:59,464 --> 00:02:01,674
it's nice to finally meet you, Poppy.

49
00:02:01,758 --> 00:02:04,554
There must be quite a
story behind that name.

50
00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:07,014
Yes.

51
00:02:09,225 --> 00:02:11,352
So,

That must be interesting.

Okay. Well,

I should be running anyway.

No, don't go.

00:02:24,868 --> 00:02:27,768
I'm just amazed at how different
you are from your brother.

58
00:02:28,330 --> 00:02:29,706
He's sort of intimidating.

59
00:02:29,790 --> 00:02:32,709
I get so flustered around
him, I just start babbling.

But you,

61
00:02:34,336 --> 00:02:35,714

because I've been waiting all day long,
