Frasier (1993–2004): Season 3, Episode 3 - Martin Does It His Way - full transcript
A loathsome, late great aunt leaves a legacy requesting that Frasier deliver her eulogy and Niles dispose of her ashes. While wrestling with these tasks, they both get a kick out of helping Martin resurrect a dormant dream of writing songs for Frank Sinatra.
WELL, WE HAVE TIME
FOR ONE MORE CALLER.
ROZ?
WE HAVE ED ON LINE THREE.
HELLO, ED.
I'M LISTENING.
ED?
ED?
WELL, WE SEEM TO HAVE LOST ED.
LET'S TAKE ANOTHER CALLER.
ON LINE FOUR, WE HAVE...
ROZ?
ROZ?
WE HAVE...
EYE...
LEAN.
EILEEN.
HELLO, EILEEN.
I'M LISTENING.
Dr. Crane, I've been very
happily married for 20 years.
I wouldn't dream of cheating
but lately, when
we're making love
I find myself
fantasizing about...
people other than my husband.
WELL, THAT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL.
IT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT TO
SPICE UP ONE'S LOVE LIFE
BY IMAGINING A TRYST WITH, OH, A
SPORTS FIGURE OR A MOVIE STAR.
Or a radio psychiatrist?
EXCUSE ME?
It's your voice, Dr. Crane.
You must have the most
sensuous voice on earth.
( sensuously): OH, I
DON'T KNOW, EILEEN.
I've never seen your picture.
Would you mind
describing yourself?
I DON'T REALLY THINK
THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
I'LL DO IT.
ROZ, I DON'T THINK...
HE'S ABOUT SIX-ONE
WITH A GRANITE JAW
THE BROAD SHOULDERS OF A MARINE.
HE'S BEEN WEARING
HIS HAIR SHORT LATELY
BUT THAT ONLY ACCENTUATES
HIS COBALT BLUE EYES
HIS CHISELED CHEEKBONES
AND HIS FULL, PROVOCATIVE LIPS.
Wow!
Thanks, Roz.
And thank you, Dr. Crane.
I'll be thinking of you tonight.
With any luck... twice.
WELL, THIS IS DR. FRASIER CRANE
FEELING A LITTLE RED
IN HIS CHISELED CHEEKS.
TILL TOMORROW THEN,
THIS IS KACL 78O-AM.
ROZ, THAT WAS QUITE A
FLATTERING DESCRIPTION.
JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY...
ARE YOU JUST HELPING
THAT LADY WITH HER FANTASY
OR DO YOU REALLY
SEE ME THAT WAY?
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW, DO YOU?
FRASIER, I AM SO
ATTRACTED TO YOU.
I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
YOUR LOOKS...
YOUR VOICE...
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
I'VE WANTED TO STRIP NAKED
AND HURL MYSELF
AT THAT GLASS PARTITION
LIKE A BUG ON A WINDSHIELD.
ARE YOU THROUGH?
WELL, ASK A STUPID QUESTION...
ALL RIGHT, ROZ, I WILL
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
AREN'T YOU GOING TO
THE STAFF MEETING?
NO. JUST TELL THEM MY AUNT DIED.
I'M OFF TO HER LAWYER'S NOW.
SHE PUT ME IN CHARGE
OF HER MEMORIAL.
I'M SO SORRY.
DON'T BE. SHE WAS A
DREADFUL OLD HARPY.
MADE EVERYONE'S LIFE MISERABLE.
THAT SHOULD LOOK
NICE ON HER HEADSTONE.
THE ENTIRE TIME I KNEW HER,
SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO ME
THAT WASN'T SCORNFUL,
DERISIVE OR CONTEMPTUOUS.
SO HOW COME SHE MADE YOU
IN CHARGE OF HER MEMORIAL?
I WAS HER FAVORITE.
EVENING, ALL.
Martin: HI.
Daphne: HELLO.
( barks)
DAD?
I THOUGHT WE HAD AN AGREEMENT.
EDDIE DOESN'T ROLL
AROUND ON MY SOFA
AND I DON'T THROW
HIM IN FRONT OF A BUS.
HELLO, DAPHNE.
OH, HELLO, DR. CRANE.
WILL YOU BE JOINING
US FOR DINNER?
IF IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE.
IT'S MARIS'S NIGHT TO
HOST HER BOOK CLUB.
THEY'RE MORE COMFORTABLE
NOT HAVING A MAN THERE.
APPARENTLY, NILES MAKES
THE LADIES SELF-CONSCIOUS.
WELL, I SAT IN ON
THE LAST DISCUSSION
AND MRS. ESTEBROOK-KINDRED
DEVELOPED A FACIAL TIC
EVERY TIME SHE HAD TO
SAY THE WORD "BALZAC."
SO HOW'D IT GO WITH
AUNT LOUISE'S LAWYER?
DID YOU GET THE OLD BAT'S
AFFAIRS ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT?
ASK HER YOURSELF.
APPARENTLY, IT WAS
AUNT LOUISE'S WISH
THAT NILES DISPOSE OF HER ASHES.
THE PRESSURE'S ON ME
TO FIND THE PERFECT PLACE
FOR HER TO REST FOR ETERNITY.
WHY DON'T YOU FLUSH
HER DOWN THE TOILET?
MR. CRANE, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
WHY NOT? SHE LOVED THE WATER.
OH! OH! THAT'S IT!
THE BEACH!
NO, NO, SHE HATED SEA GULLS.
AND VICE VERSA.
OH! OH! OH!
NO!
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE I PICK.
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT GOING
TO BE GOOD ENOUGH.
WHATEVER I DID, SHE
ALWAYS FOUND FAULT.
REMEMBER WHEN I
USED TO MOW HER LAWN?
HOW ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS
TREE I BOUGHT HER?
THE ASHTRAY I MADE AT CAMP?
( crackly voice): IS THAT
THE BEST YOU COULD DO?
IT WOBBLES!
I WISH I HAD THAT ASHTRAY NOW.
WHEN'S THE MEMORIAL SERVICE?
JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER TOMORROW.
AND LUCKY, LUCKY
ME, HER LAST REQUEST
WAS THAT I DELIVER THE EULOGY.
COME ON NOW, YOU CAN HANDLE IT.
YOU STAND UP THERE
AND SAY A FEW NICE THINGS.
THERE AREN'T ANY.
THEN MAKE SOME UP.
EVERYONE LIES A
LITTLE IN A EULOGY.
I REFUSE TO INVENT
VIRTUES SHE DIDN'T HAVE.
I JUST HAVE TO FIND
SOMETHING GOOD
I CAN HONESTLY SAY ABOUT HER.
YEAH, GOOD LUCK.
SHE WAS NOTHING BUT A CRABBY
TIGHTFISTED OLD PAIN.
ALL SHE EVER DID WAS
SIT AROUND THAT HOUSE
DAY AFTER DAY WATCHING TV.
SHE EVEN KEPT THAT SAME OLD
CRUDDY FURNITURE ALL HER LIFE.
WHAT?
OOH, REMEMBER HOW SHE ALWAYS
USED TO COMPLAIN
ABOUT THE WINTERS?
OH, YEAH. EVERY YEAR SHE WAS GOING
TO TAKE A TRIP TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC.
THAT WAS HER BIG DREAM.
BUT WOULD SHE SPEND
THE MONEY? NO-OO.
SHE JUST SAT AROUND
WHINING ALL THE TIME
ABOUT HOW SHE'D LIKE TO
BE IN A WARMER CLIMATE.
MY GUESS IS SHE FINALLY MADE IT.
OH, I THINK IT WOULD BE
TERRIBLY SAD TO GO THROUGH LIFE
HAVING A SECRET DREAM
AND NEVER FULFILLING IT.
YOU'D NEVER DO
ANYTHING SILLY LIKE THAT
WOULD YOU, MR. CRANE?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
OH, I DON'T KNOW.
PERHAPS A LITTLE SOMETHING
INVOLVING A CERTAIN SHOE BOX
YOU KEEP HIDDEN?
SHOE BOX?
FORGET IT. IT'S NOT IMPORTANT.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IT, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT.
IT'S ONLY SOMETHING YOU'VE GIVEN
OVER 30 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE TO.
I DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT
SO YOU'D GO BLAB IT.
TELL US, DAD. WHAT'S
IN THE SHOE BOX?
NOTHING, ALL RIGHT?
WAIT A MINUTE...
THAT'S NOT NOTHING...
ALL RIGHT!
ALL RIGHT.
IT'S JUST SOME... SONGS I WROTE.
FOR FRANK SINATRA.
HE KEEPS THEM IN A SHOE BOX.
I THINK YOUR WORK HERE
IS DONE.
DAD?
YOUR MOTHER AND I
USED TO LISTEN TO
SINATRA ALL THE TIME.
I... I KNEW MOST OF
HIS SONGS BY HEART.
I GUESS I GOT IT INTO
MY HEAD ONE DAY
TO TRY TO WRITE A SONG MYSELF.
I'D BE AT THE STATION HOUSE
OR ON A STAKEOUT AND...
I'D GET AN IDEA
AND PRETTY SOON, I
HAD A SHOE BOX FULL.
I USED TO IMAGINE
YOUR MOTHER AND I
GOING TO SEE FRANK
AT THE SANDS IN VEGAS AND...
HE'D OPEN THE SHOW
WITH ONE OF MY SONGS.
GEE, DAD, WHY DIDN'T YOU
EVER TELL US ABOUT THIS?
BECAUSE IT'S STUPID...
THEY WERE NO GOOD.
DON'T BOTHER TO ASK.
I'M NOT LETTING YOU SEE THEM.
HERE THEY ARE!
JUST LIKE I TOLD
YOU, IN A SHOE BOX!
THEY'RE QUITE
GOOD, IF YOU ASK ME.
"YOU ARE THE SONG
MY SOUL WOULD SING..."
VERY POETIC.
"YOU MAKE MY HEART
GO RING-A-DING-DING."
THAT WAS DURING FRANK'S
RING-A-DING PERIOD.
AH.
LORD, THIS SHOE
BOX IS FULL OF THEM.
"I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT HER.
SHE MADE ME LOSE MY MIND."
HEY, LET ME SEE THAT.
NO! THAT'S JUST SOME
CONFESSION I TOOK FROM A GUY.
THE LYRICS ARE ON THE BACK.
ANYWAY...
I NEVER FINISHED THEM.
THEY WEREN'T ANY GOOD.
WELL, EXCEPT THIS ONE.
I GOT TO ADMIT, THIS HAS GOT
FRANK SINATRA
WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
"SHE'S SUCH A GROOVY LADY."
SEE? IT STILL HAS THAT
NICE, CONTEMPORARY SOUND.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
SEND IT TO OLD BLUE EYES?
WHAT? JUST WORDS
SCRIBBLED ON A PIECE OF PAPER?
THE TUNE'S IN MY HEAD.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO WRITE IT DOWN.
WELL, NILES AND I DO.
YOU GOT THE TUNE IN YOUR HEAD.
WHY DON'T YOU LET US
WRITE IT DOWN FOR YOU?
IT'S JUST A DUMB IDEA.
OH, COME ON, DAD. REALLY.
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR BREATH
TRYING TO CONVINCE
HIM TO DO SOMETHING.
DAD, COME ON.
NO. COME ON NOW, DROP IT.
GUESS YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.
YOU JUST SIT THERE NIGHT
AFTER NIGHT WATCHING TV
TILL THE TIME FINALLY COMES
WHEN WE COLLECT YOUR ASHES
AND SCATTER THEM OVER THAT CHAIR
WHERE THEY'LL
PROBABLY GO UNNOTICED.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU MEAN IT?
IF IT WILL SHUT YOU UP.
THIS IS EXCITING.
OH, HERE, NILES
I GET THE PIANO.
I GET THE PIANO.
NO, NO, NO.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, BOYS. THE WAY I'M HEARING
THE INTRO, IT GOES
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
♪ BOBBIDY, BOBBIDY, BWA-BWA ♪
♪ SCOOBADEE-DO-DO-BWAA-AH. ♪
OF COURSE, IT IS YOUR PIANO.
YOU MAY WANT...
NO, NO, NO. IT GOES,
♪ GROOVY LADY OF MINE ♪
THEN ♪ BOBBIDY-BA-BA-BAAAAAA. ♪
NO, NILES.
THIS IS THE BIG FINISH.
♪ BOBBIDY-BAAAA... ♪
DAD! DAD!
IN NILES' DEFENSE,
AFTER FOUR HOURS
YOUR BOBBIDY-BAS SOUND LIKE
YOUR SCOOBIE-DOO-BOO-BOP-BAMS.
ALL RIGHT, NILES,
LET'S JUST TRY IT AGAIN.
Niles: LIKE THIS?
UH, UH...
YEAH! THAT'S IT!
WE CAN DO THAT.
LET'S HEAR THE
CHORUS ONE MORE TIME.
( mid-tempo intro)
♪ SHE'S SUCH A GROOVY LADY ♪
♪ SHE MAKES MY HEART
GO HIGH-DEE, HEY-DEE ♪
♪ SHE IS THE CHICK ♪
♪ I SPEND MY NIGHTS
DREAMING OF... ♪
NILES, NILES.
DAD, I DON'T MEAN TO CRITICIZE
BUT, UH, YOU KNOW THAT...
THAT HIGH-DEE, HEY-DEE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE CAB
CALLOWAY SUNG BACKWARDS.
YOU GOT ANY BETTER SUGGESTIONS?
Niles: YES, YES.
♪ SHE'S LIKE A WOOD,
ALL COOL AND SHADY ♪
Frasier: NO, NO.
♪ SHE MAKES THE
BRAVEST CAT GO FRAIDY ♪
I'VE GOT IT.
♪ SHE COULD HAVE SLEPT
WITH WARREN BEATTY ♪
VERY NICE, DAPHNE.
THE LINE'S FINE.
IT'S MY LINE.
OKAY, KEEP SINGING.
♪ HER LIPS ARE RED AS RUBY ♪
♪ SHE MAKES MY HEART
GO SCOOBIE-DOOBIE ♪
♪ SHE IS THE BROAD
WHO MAKES ME CUCKOO ♪
♪ WITH LOVE... ♪
Niles: YOU KNOW...
I'M SORRY.
I DON'T MEAN TO QUIBBLE
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR
HEART IS ALWAYS GOING
EITHER HIGH-DEE,
HEY-DEE, RINGY-DINGY
OR SCOOBIE-DOOBIE.
LOOK, I DON'T NEED
ANOTHER CRITIC.
FINE, PERHAPS A CARDIOLOGIST.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT
I THINK I'M A LITTLE MORE
TUNED IN TO WHAT FRANK LIKES.
AND THIS IS PRETTY CLOSE
TO PERFECT THE WAY IT IS.
WELL...
HOW ABOUT THAT?
30 YEARS, AND I
FINALLY FINISHED IT.
CONGRATULATIONS, DAD.
HERE'S TO A JOB WELL DONE.
YEAH, FIRST THING TOMORROW
I'M MAILING IT TO
FRANK'S PEOPLE.
WITH A LITTLE HELP
FROM LADY LUCK
MAYBE THEY'LL KICK IT UPSTAIRS
TO THE CHAIRMAN HIMSELF.
♪ SHE'S SUCH ♪
♪ A GROOVY LADY ♪
♪ SHE MAKES MY
HEART GO HEY-DEE ♪
♪ SHE IS THE CHICK... ♪
AH, GEEZ.
THE SERVICE IS IN AN HOUR.
AREN'T YOU FINISHED
WITH THAT EULOGY YET?
I CAN'T EVEN COME
UP WITH THE FIRST LINE.
I GOT OUT THIS OLD PHOTO ALBUM
HOPING ONE OF HER
PICTURES MIGHT INSPIRE ME.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
WE ALL LOVED AUNT LOUISE,
EVEN IF THE CAMERA DIDN'T.
DR. CRANE
YOU'VE BEEN AGONIZING
OVER THIS FOR TWO WEEKS.
PERHAPS IT'S TIME TO START
BENDING THE TRUTH A LITTLE.
NO. I REFUSE TO LIE.
I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE
THERE ISN'T ONE NICE STORY
YOU CAN TELL ABOUT HER.
MAYBE A CUTE LITTLE
SAYING SHE'D USE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT "STOP CRYING
OR I'LL GIVE YOU
SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT"
WOULD QUALIFY.
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO?
JUST GOING TO GO CHECK THE MAIL.
I WISH THEY'D JUST GIVE HIM
AN ANSWER ABOUT THAT SONG.
HE MUST HAVE MADE
100 TRIPS TO THE MAILBOX
DURING THE PAST TWO WEE...
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE UP
TO COMING TO THE MEMORIAL?
IT'S JUST A LITTLE COLD.
( blowing loudly)
OH. BESIDES, IN MY FAMILY
WHEN THERE WAS A
FUNERAL, EVERYBODY WENT.
I REMEMBER WHEN
GRAMMY MOON PASSED ON.
ME BROTHERS HAD BEEN
OFF ON A THREE-DAY BENDER.
THEY WERE PISSED AS NEWTS.
BUT THEY CRAWLED TO THAT
FUNERAL ON THEIR HANDS AND KNEES.
VERY COMMENDABLE.
( doorbell ringing)
YEAH, WELL, THEY
HAD AN OBLIGATION.
THEY WERE THE PALLBEARERS.
HELLO, DAPHNE.
DON'T TELL ME YOU HAVEN'T
DISPOSED OF THOSE ASHES YET.
I HAVE TAKEN THEM
TO A DOZEN LOCATIONS...
A BOSKY GLADE, A MURMURING
BROOK, A MOONLIT POND
NONE OF THEM FELT RIGHT.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH HER?
WELL, WINTER'S COMING.
THE SIDEWALKS ARE
ALWAYS SLIPPERY.
I'M HAVING THE SAME
PROBLEM WITH THE EULOGY.
OH, REMEMBER WHEN
THAT PHOTO WAS TAKEN?
THE DAY AUNT LOUISE TOOK ME
TO WILSON'S MEADOW TO FLY A KITE.
COST HER 39 CENTS AND
WHEN IT GOT STUCK IN A TREE
SHE MADE ME CLIMB UP AFTER IT.
I FELL OUT AND BROKE MY
COLLAR BONE IN TWO PLACES.
I THINK IT'S THE ONLY TIME
I EVER SAW HER LAUGH.
FRASIER.
I THINK SHE MIGHT
BE HAPPY THERE.
NILES, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND EVEN IF SHE'S
NOT, LET'S STILL DO IT.
ANY NEWS ABOUT YOUR SONG?
NAH.
LISTEN, WE'D BETTER GET STARTED.
PERHAPS I'LL HAVE
SOME INSPIRATION
ON THE WAY OVER.
AND WILSON'S
MEADOW IS ON THE WAY.
WE CAN SCATTER THE ASHES.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE
A FAMILY AFFAIR.
MAYBE I'LL TAKE MY CAR
AND MEET YOU THERE.
WILSON'S MEADOW IS PERFECT.
AUNT LOUISE, YOU HAVE
TORMENTED ME FOR TWO WEEKS
BUT FINALLY, I HAVE SHOWN
YOU, I CAN DO SOMETHING RIGHT.
( keys jingling)
OH, SHUT UP.
HERE, HERE, HERE.
YES. PERFECT.
SOMETHING'S RATTLING IN HERE.
IT'S LIKE SOME GREAT,
GRIZZLY MARACA.
OH.
WHAT AM I GOING TO
SAY AT THIS MEMORIAL?
DON'T ASK ME.
YOU WRITE LYRICS, DON'T YOU?
TELL THAT TO SINATRA.
DAD, IT'S A GOOD SONG.
I EVEN CAUGHT MYSELF SINGING IT
IN THE SHOWER THIS MORNING.
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
HEARD ANYTHING YET
DOESN'T MEAN...
YOU HAVE HEARD SOMETHING?
YEAH.
THIS MORNING.
THEY REJECTED IT.
I'M SORRY.
AH, IT'S OKAY.
SINATRA MUST GET THOUSANDS
OF SONGS SENT TO HIM.
WHAT DID I EXPECT?
NOW YOU KNOW AT LEAST
YOU GAVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT.
YEAH, I GUESS.
SURE, IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN NICE TO HEAR IT SUNG
BUT, HEY, I FINISHED IT FINALLY.
YEAH, I WALKED DOWN THAT HIGHWAY
CLIMBED THAT MOUNTAIN
AND REACHED FOR THE STARS.
OH, SURE, NOW I GET HOT.
I CAN'T OPEN THE DAMN URN.
OH, YOU ARE SO HELPLESS.
FOR PETE'S SAKE, GIVE IT TO ME.
I MAY HAVE LOOSENED IT.
( grunts)
WOW. LOOKS LIKE LOUISE'S
WHOLE REST HOME SHOWED UP.
MUST BE LIVER AND ONIONS
DAY IN THE CAFETERIA.
WHEN THEY HEARD FRASIER CRANE
FROM THE RADIO WAS SPEAKING
THE WHOLE REST HOME TURNED OUT.
THEY CAN'T WAIT TO
HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
NEITHER CAN HE.
HE'S HUDDLED IN THE RECTORY
STILL WORKING ON
HIS FIRST SENTENCE.
Daphne: HOW DID
THE SCATTERING GO?
WERE THERE ANY PROBLEMS?
NO. NOTHING IMPORTANT.
DEAR FRIENDS, THANK
YOU ALL FOR COMING TODAY.
I KNOW HOW VERY DEEPLY
YOUR FRIENDSHIP WAS
TREASURED BY LOUISE.
WE ARE PRIVILEGED
TO HAVE WITH US
HER FAVORITE NEPHEW.
ONE OF SEATTLE'S MOST ELOQUENT
SPEAKERS, DR. FRASIER CRANE.
DR. CRANE HAS SPENT
THE LAST FORTNIGHT
REFLECTING ON WHAT
LOUISE MEANT TO HIM.
DR. CRANE?
WELL, WELL, WELL.
( clears throat)
WHAT CAN I SAY
ABOUT AUNT LOUISE?
WHAT CAN I SAY?
LOUISE...
TOUCHED US ALL.
IN FACT, SHE...
TOUCHES US STILL.
( clears throat)
AUNT LOUISE LOVED TO
TEACH US ALL LESSONS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S... IT'S
HARD TO PICTURE HER
WITHOUT HEARING HER SAYING
"I'M GOING TO TEACH
YOU A LESSON."
ONE IN PARTICULAR
COMES TO MIND, THOUGH.
BY THE VERY WAY SHE
LIVED HER OWN LIFE
SHE TAUGHT US HOW IMPORTANT
IT IS TO PURSUE OUR DREAMS.
WHETHER WE SUCCEED OR FAIL
WHAT REALLY MATTERS
IS THAT WE TRIED.
AND NOW AS I SAY
GOOD-BYE TO LOUISE
A PHRASE COMES TO MIND.
IT WAS COINED BY
MY VERY OWN FATHER.
"SHE'S SUCH A GROOVY LADY."
I SAID, "SHE'S SUCH
A GROOVY LADY."

"SHE'S SUCH A GROOVY LADY."
SEE? IT STILL HAS THAT
NICE, CONTEMPORARY SOUND.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
SEND IT TO OLD BLUE EYES?
WHAT? JUST WORDS
SCRIBBLED ON A PIECE OF PAPER?
THE TUNE'S IN MY HEAD.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO WRITE IT DOWN.
WELL, NILES AND I DO.
YOU GOT THE TUNE IN YOUR HEAD.
WHY DON'T YOU LET US
WRITE IT DOWN FOR YOU?
IT'S JUST A DUMB IDEA.
OH, COME ON, DAD. REALLY.
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR BREATH
TRYING TO CONVINCE
HIM TO DO SOMETHING.
DAD, COME ON.
NO. COME ON NOW, DROP IT.
GUESS YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.
YOU JUST SIT THERE NIGHT
AFTER NIGHT WATCHING TV
TILL THE TIME FINALLY COMES
WHEN WE COLLECT YOUR ASHES
AND SCATTER THEM OVER THAT CHAIR
WHERE THEY'LL
PROBABLY GO UNNOTICED.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU MEAN IT?
IF IT WILL SHUT YOU UP.
THIS IS EXCITING.
OH, HERE, NILES
I GET THE PIANO.
I GET THE PIANO.
NO, NO, NO.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, BOYS. THE WAY I'M HEARING
THE INTRO, IT GOES
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
♪ BOBBIDY, BOBBIDY, BWA-BWA ♪
♪ SCOOBADEE-DO-DO-BWAA-AH. ♪
OF COURSE, IT IS YOUR PIANO.
YOU MAY WANT...
NO, NO, NO. IT GOES,
♪ GROOVY LADY OF MINE ♪
THEN ♪ BOBBIDY-BA-BA-BAAAAAA. ♪
NO, NILES.
THIS IS THE BIG FINISH.
♪ BOBBIDY-BAAAA... ♪
DAD! DAD!
IN NILES' DEFENSE,
AFTER FOUR HOURS
YOUR BOBBIDY-BAS SOUND LIKE
YOUR SCOOBIE-DOO-BOO-BOP-BAMS.
ALL RIGHT, NILES,
LET'S JUST TRY IT AGAIN.
Niles: LIKE THIS?
UH, UH...
YEAH! THAT'S IT!
WE CAN DO THAT.
LET'S HEAR THE
CHORUS ONE MORE TIME.
( mid-tempo intro)
♪ SHE'S SUCH A GROOVY LADY ♪
♪ SHE MAKES MY HEART
GO HIGH-DEE, HEY-DEE ♪
♪ SHE IS THE CHICK ♪
♪ I SPEND MY NIGHTS
DREAMING OF... ♪
NILES, NILES.
DAD, I DON'T MEAN TO CRITICIZE
BUT, UH, YOU KNOW THAT...
THAT HIGH-DEE, HEY-DEE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE CAB
CALLOWAY SUNG BACKWARDS.
YOU GOT ANY BETTER SUGGESTIONS?
Niles: YES, YES.
♪ SHE'S LIKE A WOOD,
ALL COOL AND SHADY ♪
Frasier: NO, NO.
♪ SHE MAKES THE
BRAVEST CAT GO FRAIDY ♪
I'VE GOT IT.
♪ SHE COULD HAVE SLEPT
WITH WARREN BEATTY ♪
VERY NICE, DAPHNE.
THE LINE'S FINE.
IT'S MY LINE.
OKAY, KEEP SINGING.
♪ HER LIPS ARE RED AS RUBY ♪
♪ SHE MAKES MY HEART
GO SCOOBIE-DOOBIE ♪
♪ SHE IS THE BROAD
WHO MAKES ME CUCKOO ♪
♪ WITH LOVE... ♪
Niles: YOU KNOW...
I'M SORRY.
I DON'T MEAN TO QUIBBLE
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR
HEART IS ALWAYS GOING
EITHER HIGH-DEE,
HEY-DEE, RINGY-DINGY
OR SCOOBIE-DOOBIE.
LOOK, I DON'T NEED
ANOTHER CRITIC.
FINE, PERHAPS A CARDIOLOGIST.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT
I THINK I'M A LITTLE MORE
TUNED IN TO WHAT FRANK LIKES.
AND THIS IS PRETTY CLOSE
TO PERFECT THE WAY IT IS.
WELL...
HOW ABOUT THAT?
30 YEARS, AND I
FINALLY FINISHED IT.
CONGRATULATIONS, DAD.
HERE'S TO A JOB WELL DONE.
YEAH, FIRST THING TOMORROW
I'M MAILING IT TO
FRANK'S PEOPLE.
WITH A LITTLE HELP
FROM LADY LUCK
MAYBE THEY'LL KICK IT UPSTAIRS
TO THE CHAIRMAN HIMSELF.
♪ SHE'S SUCH ♪
♪ A GROOVY LADY ♪
♪ SHE MAKES MY
HEART GO HEY-DEE ♪
♪ SHE IS THE CHICK... ♪
AH, GEEZ.
THE SERVICE IS IN AN HOUR.
AREN'T YOU FINISHED
WITH THAT EULOGY YET?
I CAN'T EVEN COME
UP WITH THE FIRST LINE.
I GOT OUT THIS OLD PHOTO ALBUM
HOPING ONE OF HER
PICTURES MIGHT INSPIRE ME.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
WE ALL LOVED AUNT LOUISE,
EVEN IF THE CAMERA DIDN'T.
DR. CRANE
YOU'VE BEEN AGONIZING
OVER THIS FOR TWO WEEKS.
PERHAPS IT'S TIME TO START
BENDING THE TRUTH A LITTLE.
NO. I REFUSE TO LIE.
I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE
THERE ISN'T ONE NICE STORY
YOU CAN TELL ABOUT HER.
MAYBE A CUTE LITTLE
SAYING SHE'D USE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT "STOP CRYING
OR I'LL GIVE YOU
SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT"
WOULD QUALIFY.
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO?
JUST GOING TO GO CHECK THE MAIL.
I WISH THEY'D JUST GIVE HIM
AN ANSWER ABOUT THAT SONG.
HE MUST HAVE MADE
100 TRIPS TO THE MAILBOX
DURING THE PAST TWO WEE...
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE UP
TO COMING TO THE MEMORIAL?
IT'S JUST A LITTLE COLD.
( blowing loudly)
OH. BESIDES, IN MY FAMILY
WHEN THERE WAS A
FUNERAL, EVERYBODY WENT.
I REMEMBER WHEN
GRAMMY MOON PASSED ON.
ME BROTHERS HAD BEEN
OFF ON A THREE-DAY BENDER.
THEY WERE PISSED AS NEWTS.
BUT THEY CRAWLED TO THAT
FUNERAL ON THEIR HANDS AND KNEES.
VERY COMMENDABLE.
( doorbell ringing)
YEAH, WELL, THEY
HAD AN OBLIGATION.
THEY WERE THE PALLBEARERS.
HELLO, DAPHNE.
DON'T TELL ME YOU HAVEN'T
DISPOSED OF THOSE ASHES YET.
I HAVE TAKEN THEM
TO A DOZEN LOCATIONS...
A BOSKY GLADE, A MURMURING
BROOK, A MOONLIT POND
NONE OF THEM FELT RIGHT.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH HER?
WELL, WINTER'S COMING.
THE SIDEWALKS ARE
ALWAYS SLIPPERY.
I'M HAVING THE SAME
PROBLEM WITH THE EULOGY.
OH, REMEMBER WHEN
THAT PHOTO WAS TAKEN?
THE DAY AUNT LOUISE TOOK ME
TO WILSON'S MEADOW TO FLY A KITE.
COST HER 39 CENTS AND
WHEN IT GOT STUCK IN A TREE
SHE MADE ME CLIMB UP AFTER IT.
I FELL OUT AND BROKE MY
COLLAR BONE IN TWO PLACES.
I THINK IT'S THE ONLY TIME
I EVER SAW HER LAUGH.
FRASIER.
I THINK SHE MIGHT
BE HAPPY THERE.
NILES, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND EVEN IF SHE'S
NOT, LET'S STILL DO IT.
ANY NEWS ABOUT YOUR SONG?
NAH.
LISTEN, WE'D BETTER GET STARTED.
PERHAPS I'LL HAVE
SOME INSPIRATION
ON THE WAY OVER.
AND WILSON'S
MEADOW IS ON THE WAY.
WE CAN SCATTER THE ASHES.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE
A FAMILY AFFAIR.
MAYBE I'LL TAKE MY CAR
AND MEET YOU THERE.
WILSON'S MEADOW IS PERFECT.
AUNT LOUISE, YOU HAVE
TORMENTED ME FOR TWO WEEKS
BUT FINALLY, I HAVE SHOWN
YOU, I CAN DO SOMETHING RIGHT.
( keys jingling)
OH, SHUT UP.
HERE, HERE, HERE.
YES. PERFECT.
SOMETHING'S RATTLING IN HERE.
IT'S LIKE SOME GREAT,
GRIZZLY MARACA.
OH.
WHAT AM I GOING TO
SAY AT THIS MEMORIAL?
DON'T ASK ME.
YOU WRITE LYRICS, DON'T YOU?
TELL THAT TO SINATRA.
DAD, IT'S A GOOD SONG.
I EVEN CAUGHT MYSELF SINGING IT
IN THE SHOWER THIS MORNING.
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
HEARD ANYTHING YET
DOESN'T MEAN...
YOU HAVE HEARD SOMETHING?
YEAH.
THIS MORNING.
THEY REJECTED IT.
I'M SORRY.
AH, IT'S OKAY.
SINATRA MUST GET THOUSANDS
OF SONGS SENT TO HIM.
WHAT DID I EXPECT?
NOW YOU KNOW AT LEAST
YOU GAVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT.
YEAH, I GUESS.
SURE, IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN NICE TO HEAR IT SUNG
BUT, HEY, I FINISHED IT FINALLY.
YEAH, I WALKED DOWN THAT HIGHWAY
CLIMBED THAT MOUNTAIN
AND REACHED FOR THE STARS.
OH, SURE, NOW I GET HOT.
I CAN'T OPEN THE DAMN URN.
OH, YOU ARE SO HELPLESS.
FOR PETE'S SAKE, GIVE IT TO ME.
I MAY HAVE LOOSENED IT.
( grunts)
WOW. LOOKS LIKE LOUISE'S
WHOLE REST HOME SHOWED UP.
MUST BE LIVER AND ONIONS
DAY IN THE CAFETERIA.
WHEN THEY HEARD FRASIER CRANE
FROM THE RADIO WAS SPEAKING
THE WHOLE REST HOME TURNED OUT.
THEY CAN'T WAIT TO
HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
NEITHER CAN HE.
HE'S HUDDLED IN THE RECTORY
STILL WORKING ON
HIS FIRST SENTENCE.
Daphne: HOW DID
THE SCATTERING GO?
WERE THERE ANY PROBLEMS?
NO. NOTHING IMPORTANT.
DEAR FRIENDS, THANK
YOU ALL FOR COMING TODAY.
I KNOW HOW VERY DEEPLY
YOUR FRIENDSHIP WAS
TREASURED BY LOUISE.
WE ARE PRIVILEGED
TO HAVE WITH US
HER FAVORITE NEPHEW.
ONE OF SEATTLE'S MOST ELOQUENT
SPEAKERS, DR. FRASIER CRANE.
DR. CRANE HAS SPENT
THE LAST FORTNIGHT
REFLECTING ON WHAT
LOUISE MEANT TO HIM.
DR. CRANE?
WELL, WELL, WELL.
( clears throat)
WHAT CAN I SAY
ABOUT AUNT LOUISE?
WHAT CAN I SAY?
LOUISE...
TOUCHED US ALL.
IN FACT, SHE...
TOUCHES US STILL.
( clears throat)
AUNT LOUISE LOVED TO
TEACH US ALL LESSONS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S... IT'S
HARD TO PICTURE HER
WITHOUT HEARING HER SAYING
"I'M GOING TO TEACH
YOU A LESSON."
ONE IN PARTICULAR
COMES TO MIND, THOUGH.
BY THE VERY WAY SHE
LIVED HER OWN LIFE
SHE TAUGHT US HOW IMPORTANT
IT IS TO PURSUE OUR DREAMS.
WHETHER WE SUCCEED OR FAIL
WHAT REALLY MATTERS
IS THAT WE TRIED.
AND NOW AS I SAY
GOOD-BYE TO LOUISE
A PHRASE COMES TO MIND.
IT WAS COINED BY
MY VERY OWN FATHER.
"SHE'S SUCH A GROOVY LADY."
I SAID, "SHE'S SUCH
A GROOVY LADY."
