CC to Michelle: Bye angel don't be good for daddy while I'm gone.

Fran just stands there with her arms crossed
Niles: Don't look at me.
Max: Fine if that's the way you want it to be. Goodbye Fran, I'll see you tomorrow. Niles.
Niles: Bye sir. Say bye to mommy.
He moves Michelle's little arm up and down as he follows them and stands by the door
Niles: Bye Bye.
He closes the door
Fran: Oh I can not believe Max did this. He knows how important this is to me. I've been there with him whenever there was something important.
Niles: Yes even if he didn't want you there.
Fran: See! Why couldn't he be here for me today?
Niles: Don't worry Fran I'm sure one of them will come to their senses and come home.
Fran: Why do you sound so sure?
Niles: Because I packed CC's suitcase and there's nothing but mine and Michelle's clothes.
Fran: Ya know she could always wear the same thing over again right?
Niles: Darn I knew I should've gone with the x-rated love note.
He exits and leaves Fran standing looking at the door with a sad face
