The Long Awaited Reunion

Chapter One- An Unexpected Visitor

( Cheers present day)

Cliff: ( to Woody) I don't know Woody the whole theory that multiple personalities is a real illness is questioned by several well known doctors across the country. You know not many people know that- (he is interrupted by Norm coming in the door)

Norm: Afternoon everybody.

All: NORM!!!

Woody: What going on Mr. Peterson?

Norm: No Woody the question is what's going in Mr. Peterson. And do you know what the answer to that question is Woody?

Woody: No what is going in Mr. Peterson?

Norm: ( with a look of annoyance) just give me a beer Woody (takes a mug full of beer from Woody).

Sam: ( coming our of his office) Well guess who I just talked to ( he takes a bottle of water from under the bar and opens it to take a sip).

Norm: Who Sammy?

Sam: Fraiser. Yeah he and his brother are attending this book conference thing in Boston and he said he's gonna stop in. ( Carla walks in from the pool room with an empty tray of glasses)

Carla: Oh great two egg-heads in the bar, I thought we were rid of them ( she sets the tray on the bar).

Sam: Oh c'mon Carla you like Fraiser ( he takes another drink of water).

Carla: Since when Sammy? The only time I ever liked him was when he was standing on a window ledge threatening to jump when Lilith left him.

Sam: Ok Carla just try not to be too mean ( she takes a tray of glasses that are now full and walks back into the pool room)

Norm: Did Fraiser say when he was stopping by Sammy?

Sam: Uh yeah he said he was calling from a cab a couple minutes away so he should be here any minute now.

(The door opens and Fraiser walks in accompanied by a shorter man who looks somewhat like him).

Sam: Fraiser! ( Fraiser walks over to the bar stool that he always used to sit at and the man follows) It's good to see ya'! How ya' been doing? This must be your brother.

Fraiser: Well it's good to see you too Sam. Yes this is my brother Dr. Niles Crane. Niles, you remember Sam Malone you met him in Seattle.

Niles: ( he shakes Sam' hand) Yes hello Sam nice to see you again, Fraiser's told me so much about you since we last met.

Sam: ( laughing a little) Oh yeah? What'd he tell you?

Niles: ( glances a bit nervously at Fraiser but then decides to continue) Well from what I've heard you're quite the ladies man.

Sam: Well... ( he is wearing a smile of fake modesty)

Cliff: What? Sammy is no "ladies man" ( he stands up as if to walk over to Niles).

Norm: Whoa Whoa, Cliffy, let me handle this one. Woody pour me another beer. ( Woody does and hands it to Norm who takes a sip before continuing) Sam is the King of Babes. No woman on earth can resist him. He has 27 volumes of "the little black book" ( Sam gives a small laugh).

Niles: (rather sarcastically) Well I had no idea we were in the presence of royalty.

Fraiser: ( sensing the tension in the room) Well Sam sorry we have to go so soon bu twe still have to go visit Frederick before the conference tonight. Maybe we'll see you later tonight.

Sam: Ok bye Frais. Nice to meet you Niles.

Niles: Yes you too.

Fraiser: Good- bye everyone.

( Fraiser and Niles get their coats and leave.)
