"Great show, Doc!" Bulldog laughed when Frasier entered the hallway.
"Well, if it isn't the mute silk merchant, Mr. Wing!" Frasier exclaimed. "Glad to hear that your voice has returned!"
"Oh yeah... about that..."
"And your girlfriend... what was her name again?"
"Maxine."
"Maxine, that's right! The one with dyslexia! Although I think Niles was more accurate when he asked if she had distemper. How is Maxine?"
"Oh, she's great! She said to tell you how thankful she is for the opportunity to be on the radio." Bulldog said. "She's even thinking about going into broadcasting!"
"Is she now?" Frasier asked, feigning excitement.
"Yeah, she said it was her first big break."
Frasier rolled his eyes and began to walk away. "Well I'm glad I could be of service."
"Hey Doc..." Bulldog said as he hurried to catch up. "She really wants to do commercials. Got any inside information on jobs?"
"No, Bulldog I don't, but if something comes up... Oh for God's sake! No one's going to hire her!"
"Why not?"
"Do the words 'She's got a nug!' ring a bell?"
"Oh that. Well, I can explain." Bulldog said.
"Never mind... I don't want to hear it. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get-."
"Well! If it isn't Frasier Crane! The great director who deprived me of what was to be the greatest performance of my life!"
Frasier sighed. "What are you talking about, Gil?"
"I'm referring to that delicious speech about my boyhood in Surrey! "Romping with my school chums in the fens and spinneys when-."
"Gil, please!" Frasier said, shoving his way past the restaurant critic.
"Hey, Dr. Crane!"
"Oh... Hello, Noel."
"Wasn't that a great show Saturday night? My parents couldn't stop talking about it!"
Frasier smiled, grateful for a compliment. "Well, it's nice to know that someone enjoyed it!"
"Oh, they didn't enjoy it at all. In fact, they said it was the worst thing they'd ever heard."
"Wonderful." Frasier said, not bothering to hide his sarcasm.
"But they loved the sound effects." Noel added.
"Of course they did. Goodnight Noel."
Noel looked at his watch "Goodnight? But it's not even time for Star Trek to come on!"
"Goodnight, Noel." Frasier said again as he walked out of the building.
