Daphne Moon : [Frasier is doped up on painkillers for his back and Daphne is giving him a massage] You took quite a few of those pills, didn't you? You know what's curious, though?
Frasier : Cats!
Daphne Moon : Yes. But I'm talking about our little mix-up. When I said to your father, "Dr. Crane's in love with me," he said it's been going on for six years now. What did he mean by that?
Frasier : Oh that... he meant Niles!
Daphne Moon : [completely stunned] What?
Frasier : Niles... he's crazy about you!
Daphne Moon : [still stunned] Dr. Crane?
[to Frasier]
Daphne Moon : Dr. Crane!
[Frasier has fallen asleep]

[Eddie the dog stares at Frasier]
Frasier : What? Do you want to know what's bothering me too? Well, here's a start, I'm talking to a dog, that bothers me. I'm another year older today, I suppose that bothers me, but not as much as people seem to think. I'm still single, that's a big one. Not having a woman to share my life with. The only women in my life are friends; Roz and Daphne. Daphne's not even here anymore, she'll be married soon. That's going to be tough on Dad. Who am I kidding? It's going to be tough on me. It's been nice having her here. Even when my love life hasn't been going so well, I can always come home to a warm and considerate woman. You know, that's probably why I've been so brusque with her lately. I know that once she's gone, I'll probably be twice as lonely... Well, it's quite a realization isn't it?
[Unbeknownst to Frasier, Daphne walks in to the room wearing a robe]
Frasier : I really do love Daphne and I'm about to lose her. I've got to show her how I feel about her, while I still have the chance.
[Daphne, taken aback by the comments, quickly tiptoes back to her room before Frasier notices her]
Frasier : Well, I don't know whether it was the therapy or the painkillers but I actually feel a bit better. Let's try this.
[Frasier pulls himself to sit more comfortably on the chair; Meanwhile, Eddie buries his head under the pillow]
Frasier : You know, there are subtler ways to let the patient know his hour is up.
Daphne : [returning to the living room, acting] Oh, Dr. Crane! I didn't know you were here, I can't hear anything in that shower of mine, it's like a soundproof vault!
Frasier : Daphne, I wanted to apologize for being so short with you this morning.
Daphne : It's fine.
Frasier : No, it's not. It's never fine. Listen, come here, please
[Daphne hesitantly walks over to him]
Frasier : Give me a hug
[They hug somewhat awkwardly, with Daphne keeping some distance between her body and his]
Frasier : Oh Daphne, do you know how much you mean to me?
Daphne : I'm getting an idea!
-
Martin Crane : [Entering the apartment] Hey, Daph.
[No response from Daphne]
Martin Crane : What's wrong? Are you all right?
Daphne Moon : Well, actually no. I overheard something I wasn't supposed to hear. It's about Dr. Crane. I overheard him say he's in love with me.
Martin Crane : What?
Daphne Moon : And he wants to show me how much he loves me while he still has the chance.
Martin Crane : Oh, jeez, not this!
Daphne Moon : You knew about this?
Martin Crane : I'm not getting in the middle of this!
Daphne Moon : Then it's true?
Martin Crane : Look, I kept my mouth shut for six years, I'm not saying anything now.
[Martin heads towards the kitchen]
Daphne Moon : Six years? He's felt this way for six years?
Martin Crane : You didn't hear that from me!

Frasier : [having recovered from his back pain] Oh, Daphne, by the way, thank you for the massage, I think it did just the trick.
Daphne Moon : Anytime, Dr. Crane.
Frasier : Listen, just before I drifted off I'm afraid I might have said something I wish I hadn't.
Daphne Moon : [worried] Yes?
Frasier : It's about Dad's chair, it may be comfortable but I still want to get it out of here.
Daphne Moon : [slightly relieved but still tense] Oh, that...
Frasier : Why, I didn't say anything else I shouldn't have said, did I?
Daphne Moon : [Nervously] Well... No, no. And don't worry.
[points at Martin's chair]
Daphne Moon : Mum's the word!
[the doorbell rings]
Daphne Moon : [sarcastically] I'll get it.
Frasier : Why, thank you.
[as Daphne goes to answer the door, Martin walks in to talk to Frasier]
Martin Crane : Did you straighten things out with Daphne?
Frasier : Yes, I did.
Martin Crane : Boy, that was a close one. I almost blew Niles's secret!
Frasier : In the future, would you try to be more discreet? I can't pull your chestnuts out of the fire every time!
-
Niles : Good evening, Daphne
Daphne Moon : [nervously] Dr. Crane.
[There is a pause as Niles senses something is up]
Niles : You look different somehow. Have you done something new with your hair?
[Daphne gestures to her party hat and takes it off]
Niles : That must be it!
[Niles goes over to greet Frasier and give him his birthday present as Daphne watches from a distance, looking almost longingly at Niles]
