1
00:00:08,471 --> 00:00:11,516
Why did I ever decide to
redecorate my bathroom?
2
00:00:11,725 --> 00:00:14,125
They give you about a
thousand decisions to make.
3
00:00:14,269 --> 00:00:16,437
After a while you can't
even tell the colors apart.
4
00:00:16,521 --> 00:00:19,566
Roz, perhaps my discerning
decorator's eye could be of assistance.
5
00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:20,692
Let me see here.
6
00:00:20,901 --> 00:00:24,529
This one's ecru, that's eggshell,
and this, of course, is Navajo white.
7
00:00:24,780 --> 00:00:29,118
Very good, Frasier. Now let's
see how you do on the color side.
8
00:00:31,579 --> 00:00:34,779
Roz, I do hope you don't spend
your entire vacation redecorating.
9
00:00:34,874 --> 00:00:37,585
You know, you should get out.
You know, have some fun.
10
00:00:37,794 --> 00:00:39,587
Maybe even take a cruise.
11
00:00:39,796 --> 00:00:43,633
You don't wanna stay cooped up
with a bunch of sweaty workmen.
12
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:47,637
Bon voyage.
13
00:00:48,347 --> 00:00:49,598
Thank you. And don't worry,
14
00:00:49,682 --> 00:00:51,433
Chuck Bramburg said he'd take over for me.
15
00:00:51,517 --> 00:00:54,853
Absolutely not. The man's speech
impediment made me giggle all week.
16
00:00:54,937 --> 00:00:56,938
-Show a little compassion.
-Oh, come on.
17
00:00:57,022 --> 00:00:59,441
Try dealing with a call
screener who says, "Dr. Cwane,
18
00:00:59,525 --> 00:01:01,777
we have a kweptomaniac on wine thwee."
19
00:01:03,404 --> 00:01:04,863
Who do you wanna use?
20
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:07,533
Actually, I was thinking of
reaching out to the community.
21
00:01:07,617 --> 00:01:11,287
I was guest speaker last month
at a program called Second Start.
22
00:01:11,454 --> 00:01:14,165
For career training for people
who are stuck in tedious,
23
00:01:14,249 --> 00:01:18,878
low-paying jobs, and, well, I thought
I'd give the job to one of those students.
24
00:01:19,087 --> 00:01:22,215
That's a great idea, Frasier.
It sounds like a great program.
25
00:01:22,382 --> 00:01:23,532
There's Chuck Bramburg.
26
00:01:23,633 --> 00:01:25,635
You've got to tell him
he doesn't have the job.
27
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:27,721
-Why can't you tell him?
-I can't hear him
28
00:01:27,805 --> 00:01:31,016
-without descending into giggles.
-Oh, you are such a child.
29
00:01:31,183 --> 00:01:33,227
-Oh, just…
-Hi, guys.
30
00:01:33,394 --> 00:01:36,939
-Hey, Chuck, how's it going?
-Oh, tewible, Woz.
31
00:01:37,481 --> 00:01:42,027
My wife was in the Cawibbean,
and she weft me for a Wastafawian.
32
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,864
[LAUGHING]
33
00:01:50,996 --> 00:01:53,790
FRASIER: We have a couple of
minutes, tell me a little about yourself.
34
00:01:53,874 --> 00:01:55,667
How did you get
interested in broadcasting?
35
00:01:55,751 --> 00:01:59,295
Well, after I got laid off from the
bakery, I guess I had some free time.
36
00:01:59,379 --> 00:02:01,506
So I took a few different
night-school courses.
37
00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:03,716
When I got to the one
in radio, it all clicked.
38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,012
Oh, well, you know, isn't that funny?
39
00:02:06,220 --> 00:02:09,599
You know, I had almost
exactly the same experience.
40
00:02:09,932 --> 00:02:11,976
I first discovered psychiatry
41
00:02:12,143 --> 00:02:16,105
at Dr. Badgely's epidemiology
seminar at Harvard.
42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,526
Except I bet you didn't walk through
a metal detector to get to class.
43
00:02:20,610 --> 00:02:22,528
No, no. But, you know, I did have to pass
44
00:02:22,612 --> 00:02:27,367
under a dangerously unbalanced
portrait of Alfred Adler in the rotunda.
45
00:02:28,118 --> 00:02:30,162
We are practically separated at birth.
46
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:33,039
-Oh, ten seconds, Mary. Here we go.
-I am so nervous.
47
00:02:33,123 --> 00:02:35,291
-I don't know what to do.
-You'll be fine. Relax.
48
00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:37,002
MARY: Okay.
49
00:02:43,175 --> 00:02:44,219
Hello, Seattle.
50
00:02:44,427 --> 00:02:47,972
This is Dr. Frasier
Crane, and I'm listening.
51
00:02:48,389 --> 00:02:50,183
I'd like to introduce someone
52
00:02:50,350 --> 00:02:54,437
who's going to bring her own flavor to
the show this week while Roz is gone.
53
00:02:54,646 --> 00:02:56,314
Say hello to Mary Thomas.
54
00:03:01,236 --> 00:03:03,322
It's great to have you with us, Mary.
55
00:03:06,075 --> 00:03:08,625
You know, we want to
get right to your calls, folks,
56
00:03:08,786 --> 00:03:11,163
so we'll be right back after this.
57
00:03:13,707 --> 00:03:18,963
Mary, I should mention that you
should feel free to speak on the air.
58
00:03:19,213 --> 00:03:21,413
Roz often chimes in,
well, from time to time.
59
00:03:21,549 --> 00:03:24,844
-I can't believe I messed up so quickly.
-No, no, no, not at all, not at all.
60
00:03:24,928 --> 00:03:27,478
Promise me that you'll
speak up when it feels right.
61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,349
-I will.
-Okay, great.
62
00:03:29,558 --> 00:03:31,309
I'm sure you have excellent instincts.
63
00:03:31,393 --> 00:03:33,186
-Five seconds.
-Right.
64
00:03:35,647 --> 00:03:39,192
And we're back.
All right, Mary, who's our first caller?
65
00:03:40,026 --> 00:03:41,988
Maria.
66
00:03:44,198 --> 00:03:46,450
Uh, she's 36 years old.
67
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:49,287
Married five years.
68
00:03:49,495 --> 00:03:51,580
And her husband's been
staying late at the office
69
00:03:51,664 --> 00:03:54,374
-so he can meet with his secretary.
-That's the way to do it.
70
00:03:54,458 --> 00:03:59,422
Oh, I mean, I'm sorry, Maria. Uh…
71
00:03:59,630 --> 00:04:01,841
-I'm listening.
-MARIA [ON PHONE]: Hi, Dr. Crane.
72
00:04:01,925 --> 00:04:05,053
Anyway, he's having an
affair and it's not his first.
73
00:04:05,262 --> 00:04:07,848
This has been going on
since we were newlyweds.
74
00:04:08,056 --> 00:04:10,642
-How do I get him to change?
-Maria, you of course know
75
00:04:10,726 --> 00:04:14,187
it's impossible to force anyone to change.
76
00:04:14,396 --> 00:04:17,190
But you can work to change yourself.
77
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,027
Usually women who tolerate
this behavior from their husbands
78
00:04:20,111 --> 00:04:21,987
are suffering from low-self-esteem issues.
79
00:04:22,071 --> 00:04:24,323
You may need some counseling
to resolve those issues.
80
00:04:24,407 --> 00:04:26,557
-Let me ask you a…
-May I say something?
81
00:04:26,659 --> 00:04:28,244
Yes.
82
00:04:28,453 --> 00:04:30,788
Maria, Dr. Crane is right.
83
00:04:30,997 --> 00:04:32,373
You must make a change.
84
00:04:32,582 --> 00:04:35,501
And the first thing you change
is the lock on your front door.
85
00:04:35,585 --> 00:04:37,920
-What?
-There's plenty of time for counselors,
86
00:04:38,004 --> 00:04:40,466
but at 6:00 locksmiths
start charging extra.
87
00:04:40,633 --> 00:04:42,551
So you get on it, girlfriend.
88
00:04:44,094 --> 00:04:46,639
You know, my Grandpa Willie used to say,
89
00:04:46,847 --> 00:04:49,297
"Nothing stops a man
from playing the field faster
90
00:04:49,391 --> 00:04:53,395
than a night out on the lawn." Okay? Okay.
91
00:04:59,736 --> 00:05:03,323
Oh, thank you, Grandpa Willie.
92
00:05:06,493 --> 00:05:08,870
Lookit here, Tony, you're 35 years old.
93
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,205
Now, your parents only
had you for the first 18,
94
00:05:11,289 --> 00:05:13,833
so if you want to blame someone,
you need to blame yourself.
95
00:05:13,917 --> 00:05:16,169
Okay? Okay.
96
00:05:18,631 --> 00:05:22,510
Actually, chronic rage problems
usually stem from childhood…
97
00:05:22,718 --> 00:05:24,720
Dr. Crane, we're all out of time.
98
00:05:28,808 --> 00:05:30,393
So we are.
99
00:05:30,601 --> 00:05:34,105
Well, then this is Dr. Frasier
Crane saying goodbye, Seattle,
100
00:05:34,313 --> 00:05:38,193
-and good mental health.
-And tune in tomorrow.
101
00:05:43,699 --> 00:05:45,033
Hello, Daphne.
102
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,118
Well, Dr. Crane, you're
in a good mood today.
103
00:05:47,202 --> 00:05:51,832
Mm-hm. After six long weeks, I
have finally received my yellow belt.
104
00:05:52,082 --> 00:05:53,250
Well, aren't you lucky?
105
00:05:53,458 --> 00:05:57,463
I ordered some more Capri pants
two months ago and I'm still waiting.
106
00:05:59,924 --> 00:06:02,927
No, no, no.
As this handsome certificate will attest,
107
00:06:03,136 --> 00:06:05,554
I have finally attained the
second level of kickboxing.
108
00:06:05,638 --> 00:06:08,558
Oh, congratulations.
109
00:06:09,475 --> 00:06:12,811
-What made you take up kickboxing?
-Well, in order to protect Mel.
110
00:06:12,895 --> 00:06:14,745
As you know, she's a plastic surgeon.
111
00:06:14,856 --> 00:06:17,556
She has a habit of slipping
her card to total strangers
112
00:06:17,693 --> 00:06:20,446
who she feels could use her services.
113
00:06:20,863 --> 00:06:23,698
-So far, no harm done, but…
-It's only a matter of time before
114
00:06:23,782 --> 00:06:25,909
-you get your lights punched out.
-Exactly.
115
00:06:25,993 --> 00:06:28,453
It almost happened last
week with Marjorie Dunsmore.
116
00:06:28,537 --> 00:06:30,038
Luck was on our side, but next time
117
00:06:30,122 --> 00:06:32,624
there might not be a
walker to kick over, so…
118
00:06:34,418 --> 00:06:36,462
But I think Dad will be properly impressed
119
00:06:36,546 --> 00:06:39,716
when I demonstrate my
precision footwork, you know.
120
00:06:41,676 --> 00:06:43,053
Whoa. Ha-ha.
121
00:06:43,219 --> 00:06:45,304
-That's very impressive, Dr. Crane.
-Thank you.
122
00:06:45,388 --> 00:06:46,973
Yeah. You know, I just remembered,
123
00:06:47,057 --> 00:06:48,557
the Chihuly needs a good dusting.
124
00:06:48,641 --> 00:06:50,810
-I thought you cleaned that yesterday.
-Oh, did I?
125
00:06:50,894 --> 00:06:52,436
Hello, Niles. What brings you here?
126
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,692
I'm here to demonstrate my
newly acquired feet of horrible fury.
127
00:06:58,486 --> 00:06:59,987
Carry on, Daphne.
128
00:07:00,196 --> 00:07:03,115
Oh, wait, Frasier. Frasier, who
was that woman on your show today?
129
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:07,661
Oh, that was Mary Thomas.
She's filling in for Roz this week.
130
00:07:07,870 --> 00:07:10,247
Seemed to me like
she was filling in for you.
131
00:07:12,083 --> 00:07:14,711
You're normally so particular
about what happens on your show.
132
00:07:14,795 --> 00:07:17,463
-I'm surprised you let her go on.
-I started to say something,
133
00:07:17,547 --> 00:07:22,344
and then I thought, "Well, it
might be a bit condescending."
134
00:07:22,552 --> 00:07:24,178
I know why you didn't say anything.
135
00:07:24,262 --> 00:07:26,431
-Because she's black.
-That's ridiculous, Dad.
136
00:07:26,515 --> 00:07:27,849
Race has nothing to do with it.
137
00:07:27,933 --> 00:07:29,383
NILES: Oh, come now, Frasier.
138
00:07:29,518 --> 00:07:31,352
You can't deny a certain measure of guilt,
139
00:07:31,436 --> 00:07:35,358
living as you do in your
exclusive, lily-white world.
140
00:07:38,736 --> 00:07:41,239
Niles, owning the CD
of Ella Sings Gershwin
141
00:07:41,447 --> 00:07:43,908
does not qualify you as a soul brother.
142
00:07:45,243 --> 00:07:48,537
You know, Fras, there's such a thing
as being too sensitive about this stuff.
143
00:07:48,621 --> 00:07:50,914
Now, if it was Roz blabbing
on instead of this Mary,
144
00:07:50,998 --> 00:07:53,098
you'd tell her to put a sock in it, right?
145
00:07:53,252 --> 00:07:55,587
I suppose so, but, you
know, this is different, Dad.
146
00:07:55,671 --> 00:07:59,132
She's just starting out.
I didn't want to squelch her enthusiasm.
147
00:07:59,216 --> 00:08:00,508
-Because she's black.
-FRASIER: No.
148
00:08:00,592 --> 00:08:02,742
Dad, please, will you
just stop saying that?
149
00:08:02,886 --> 00:08:06,056
Anyway, I just have to deal with
it for a week till Roz gets back.
150
00:08:06,140 --> 00:08:07,850
-Black.
-Stop it.
151
00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:14,858
-My first roommate at Yale was black.
-Huntington Treadwell III.
152
00:08:15,066 --> 00:08:17,902
He's hardly representative of
the African-American experience.
153
00:08:17,986 --> 00:08:20,697
His father was a pioneer
in Selma and Montgomery.
154
00:08:20,905 --> 00:08:23,908
Yes, I believe he built golf
courses all over the South.
155
00:08:24,534 --> 00:08:28,413
Oh, speaking of golf, Dad, I've
become quite the sportsman myself.
156
00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:30,791
-Oh.
-What do you think of that?
157
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,921
Oh, that's very nice, son, but
calligraphy really isn't a sport.
158
00:08:37,798 --> 00:08:39,884
It's more of a craft.
159
00:08:40,509 --> 00:08:42,928
No, no, no. This is for kickboxing.
160
00:08:43,137 --> 00:08:44,987
I finally reached yellow-belt status.
161
00:08:45,097 --> 00:08:47,183
Hey, what do you know? I'm proud of you.
162
00:08:47,391 --> 00:08:48,893
-Oh, come here.
-Oh.
163
00:08:51,396 --> 00:08:53,773
Well, you know, it requires
a lot of talent, you know.
164
00:08:53,857 --> 00:08:55,657
You have to have timing and balance,

and the ability to strike
and instantly retreat.

00:08:57,986 --> 00:09:00,739
-So you kick and then run away?
-Yes, yes.

My instructor says I'm a natural. Yes.
168
00:09:03,617 --> 00:09:06,203
-Can I show you something?
-Oh, yeah, sure.
169
00:09:06,828 --> 00:09:09,207
Let me show you a roundhouse kick.
All right.
170
00:09:09,415 --> 00:09:12,376
Now, you sense your assailant's presence.
171
00:09:13,044 --> 00:09:15,630
You feel your body in the space
172
00:09:16,297 --> 00:09:19,884
where your opponent is, and
when you're ready, you strike.
173

-Hoo!

-What have I done?
-Are you all right, Daphne?

-Yes.
-NILES: Really?
176
00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:35,817
No. I landed on my wrist.
It's really throbbing.

-Go get her some ice, Niles.
-NILES: Oh, all right.
178
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:42,991
You know, Dad, perhaps you're right.
Maybe I am too sensitive.

Daphne, could you get that, please?

00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,710
Gabe, you must remember that
compulsive shopping is an addiction.

-There are no simple solutions.
-Oh, I've got one.

Uh, you know, I hate to
be a stickler here, Gabe,
186

but as Mary would be the first
to point out, she is not a doctor.

Oh, I don't mind. Oh, call me Dr. Mary.

199
00:10:56,777 --> 00:10:57,987
Be honest.
200
00:10:58,321 --> 00:11:01,198
Well, I genuinely like her.
201
00:11:01,407 --> 00:11:04,119
She's delightful and dedicated.

And?

00:11:06,955 --> 00:11:08,457
Well, uh,
204
00:11:09,124 --> 00:11:11,542
she does have a tendency
to just sort of jump right in
205
00:11:11,626 --> 00:11:15,339
whenever she likes, and frankly,
her method of solving problems
206
00:11:15,505 --> 00:11:17,466
is totally different than mine.

I always thought that your

last week has been even better.

don't need to fill in for me.

to manipulate our husbands

-tell her to shut her big bazoo.

Uh, people listen to the
show for my expertise.

00:14:53,150 --> 00:14:55,487
So my opinion's not worth anything?

All right, I want you to
contribute, but up to a point.

I know you're trying to be sensitive,

00:15:39,491 --> 00:15:42,827
but you're not showing this woman any
respect if you're not as honest with her

-as you'd be with someone else.
-This is your show.

she can say whatever she wants.

Wait a minute. You know what, Dad?

00:15:53,256 --> 00:15:54,906
You may be on to something there.

I don't know why I didn't think of that.

you don't wanna do the right thing.

The only thing you're missing out
on is a lot of cold and lonely nights,

00:16:32,881 --> 00:16:36,217
and there's not one person out there
that would disagree with me on that.
308
00:16:36,301 --> 00:16:37,969

I don't think he deserves that girl.
310
00:16:43,058 --> 00:16:45,560
And if he's not man enough
to take that leap of faith,
311
00:16:45,644 --> 00:16:48,814
-then she's better off without him.
-Louise, is you trippin'?
312
00:16:48,980 --> 00:16:53,569
-Trippin'? Excuse me, miss.
-MARY: You got to get married.
313
00:16:53,778 --> 00:16:57,240
He needs to do the right thing.
What are you trying to tell that man?
314
00:16:57,448 --> 00:17:00,201
-You ain't never been married.
-Oh, no. Oh, no.

-Hi, Roz.
-Hey, Frasier.
318
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:15,133
I listened to your show
for about 20 minutes today.
319
00:17:15,217 --> 00:17:16,802
I didn't even hear your voice.
320
00:17:17,010 --> 00:17:19,972
Well, I'm playing a
diminished role these days,
321
00:17:20,180 --> 00:17:26,186
although still an important one. I am
the glue that holds the show together.
322
00:17:26,395 --> 00:17:32,652
Or as Mary said in her intro,
"The filling in our little Oreo."
323
00:17:35,572 --> 00:17:38,283
Well, it's no picnic
working with Gil either.
324
00:17:38,491 --> 00:17:42,036
That little joke he makes before every
show, that his taste buds are insured?
325
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,955
-They really are.
-Oh…
326
00:17:44,998 --> 00:17:48,543
Guess who had to take the claims
photo after he ate a hot slice of pizza?
327
00:17:48,627 --> 00:17:52,173
-Oh, God, Roz, I'm so sorry.
-You should be.
328
00:17:52,381 --> 00:17:54,675
I go away for a week, and
you give away our whole show.
329
00:17:54,759 --> 00:17:57,344
Yes, I know. Oh, Lord, there she is.
330
00:17:58,053 --> 00:18:02,391
I could've nipped this in the
bud if I'd been honest with her.
331
00:18:03,768 --> 00:18:06,718
Perhaps the time has come
for me to just tell her the truth.
332
00:18:06,979 --> 00:18:10,525
Wow. Sounds like an intense conversation.
333
00:18:10,734 --> 00:18:13,861
-I'll get out of here and give you room.
-FRASIER: Thank you, Roz.
334
00:18:13,945 --> 00:18:15,655
Roz?
335
00:18:18,116 --> 00:18:21,828
Hey there, partner. Is there room
for one more at the doctors' table?
336
00:18:21,995 --> 00:18:23,955
Of course, Mary.
337
00:18:24,164 --> 00:18:26,165
There's something I
wanna talk to you about.
338
00:18:26,249 --> 00:18:28,849
Oh, I don't doubt it.
Could you believe Louise today?
339
00:18:29,045 --> 00:18:31,004
She just would not
stop talking, would she?
340
00:18:31,088 --> 00:18:33,465
-It's not Louise, you see…
-Every time I turn around,
341
00:18:33,549 --> 00:18:35,467
she's just yappity, yappity, yappity, yap.
342
00:18:35,551 --> 00:18:38,345
-What is her training anyway?
-Mary, please, just stop it.
343
00:18:38,429 --> 00:18:41,974
Stop it, please.
The problem is not with Louise.
344
00:18:42,725 --> 00:18:45,686
-It's with you.
-What?
345
00:18:46,605 --> 00:18:50,067
Look, the truth is, I…
I don't enjoy working with you.
346
00:18:50,901 --> 00:18:53,362
I haven't enjoyed working
with you from the start.
347
00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:56,698
We have different styles, and
I have absolutely no respect
348
00:18:56,907 --> 00:18:58,367
for the advice that you give.
349
00:18:59,326 --> 00:19:01,703
I had no idea.
350
00:19:01,912 --> 00:19:04,873
Well, why didn't you just
say something before?
351
00:19:06,709 --> 00:19:09,212
Well, it's because you're black.
352
00:19:11,172 --> 00:19:16,344
And the truth is I was afraid that
if I said something critical of you,
353
00:19:16,553 --> 00:19:22,433
you might react the wrong way,
and I feel just terrible about it.
354
00:19:23,268 --> 00:19:26,668
-Maybe you shouldn't feel so bad be…
-No, no, actually, I should.
355
00:19:26,772 --> 00:19:29,566
I pride myself for being able
to communicate with anybody,
356
00:19:29,650 --> 00:19:31,600
and I couldn't even be honest with you.
357
00:19:31,986 --> 00:19:34,947
Oh, it's not that easy.
You didn't wanna disappoint me.
358
00:19:35,155 --> 00:19:38,283
I understand. If you don't like
the show the way it is right now,
359
00:19:38,367 --> 00:19:39,618
then that comes first.
360
00:19:39,827 --> 00:19:42,371
Like Grandpa Willie used to say,
361
00:19:42,538 --> 00:19:46,001
"If the shoe don't fit,
then that ain't your shoe."
362
00:19:47,961 --> 00:19:51,423
You know, as much as I've
come to loathe Grandpa Willie,
363
00:19:51,756 --> 00:19:54,426
that does actually make
me feel a little better.
364
00:19:54,634 --> 00:19:56,384
I'll let you in on a little secret.
365
00:19:56,469 --> 00:19:59,973
All those expressions?
I made them up myself.
366
00:20:02,894 --> 00:20:05,994
I'll give you another reason
not to feel so bad about all this.
367
00:20:06,147 --> 00:20:09,483
Today KPXY offered me my own show.
368
00:20:09,692 --> 00:20:13,029
-I'm gonna be just fine on my own.
-Mary, that's wonderful news.
369
00:20:13,988 --> 00:20:16,866
So you forgive me?
370
00:20:17,074 --> 00:20:20,161
Well, I think you could've
been honest with me.
371
00:20:20,745 --> 00:20:24,332
Then again, if you had told me to be
quiet, then I'd be back at the bakery.
372
00:20:24,416 --> 00:20:26,668
Instead, I've got this brand-new career,
373
00:20:26,877 --> 00:20:29,212
and this afternoon I'm shopping for cars.
374
00:20:29,796 --> 00:20:31,506
So I guess what I'm saying is,
375
00:20:31,924 --> 00:20:35,510
God bless your guilty white ass, okay?
376
00:20:41,893 --> 00:20:46,814
-So how'd it go?
-Well, actually, better than I expected.
377
00:20:47,231 --> 00:20:48,816
I guess we're a team again, Roz.
378
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:49,943
Great.
379
00:20:50,193 --> 00:20:51,652
We'll have to wait a little while.
380
00:20:51,736 --> 00:20:54,486
I gotta stay with Gil until
we find another replacement.
381
00:20:54,614 --> 00:20:57,825
Right. Of course.
Well, I can find somebody.
382
00:20:58,701 --> 00:21:01,163
Thank you for your call, Jill.
383
00:21:01,372 --> 00:21:03,916
Well, Chuck, who else is on the line?
384
00:21:04,124 --> 00:21:06,543
Well, Dr. Cwane.
385
00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:12,967
We have Winda on wine thwee, who
bewieves peopew awe waffing at hew.
386
00:21:18,722 --> 00:21:20,808
Maybe we can just come
back to that one, Chuck.
387
00:21:20,892 --> 00:21:22,686
Aw-wighty.
