Frasier's young assistant invites him to dinner. Meanwhile, Rebecca organizes a private function at Cheers which Cliff agrees to film with his new video camera.

Quote from Frasier

Sam: Come on. Go over there, enjoy yourself. You know, all you've got to do is bring a little champagne, some flowers, sweet talk her a little bit. Before you know it, it's time to go home. Or maybe, you don't go home. You know what I mean? [both laugh]
Frasier: Is that the way, uh, most dates go for you, Sam?
Sam: No, now come on, now, don't do that. See, this is not a test. You're not expected to perform at my level.
Frasier: The thing is just to enjoy myself, as myself.
Sam: Yes.
Frasier: Okay. Thanks, Sam.
Sam: Yeah, yeah.
Frasier: Now, Frasier Crane is gonna go get some before it gets cold.

Quote from Cliff

Cliff: Great shot. Great shot. Oh! Hey, listen, ma'am, would you mind holding this in your lap and just tilt it up at an angle like that? I want to do a slow tracking shot.

Quote from Carla

Old Man: Hi, sexy. What are you going to be doing after work tonight?
Carla: Trying to forget you asked me that.

Quote from Cliff

Cliff: Well, you do great work. Look for your, uh, credits in the end titles, there, sweetheart. [Cliff sends the woman's wheelchair into the back room]
Norm: Cliffie, what's this red blinking light mean?
Cliff: Oh, that means the battery's dead.
Norm: All right, give me the spare. I'll slap it in for you.
Cliff: Actually, I don't... I don't have a spare there, Norm.
Norm: Okay, uh, no problem, just give me the power cord. We'll find an outlet.
Cliff: These come with power cords?

Quote from Cliff

Norm: Cliff, you've got to tell them.
Cliff: It's not my fault the guy took 50 years to tell his kids he loved them. I mean, what kind of father is that anyway? All right, so there was one moment in the whole thing. Big whoops. I mean, you know, with all the drinking and yelling, nobody's gonna remember anything.
Marine: [enters] Grandma! Grandpa! I flew 34 hours in a marine cargo plane to get here. But it's worth it all just to say, "Happy Anniversary, I love you!" [gasping, applause]
Grandma: Oh, Terry, my baby boy!
Peter: Thank God we're getting this on tape!
Norm: [sotto voce] Yeah, thank God.
Grandpa: My God, Terry. They wouldn't tell us if you were alive or dead.
Marine: There's one thing that kept me alive. I was thinking about coming home to you.
Grandma: Oh!
Norm: All right, Cliff, come on. What are we gonna do here? You got to tell them. All right, look, look everybody. My boss here has an announcement to make.
Cliff: Uh, yeah, everybody. I've got to go on my break. My assistant will take over.
Norm: All right, now, let's, uh, squeeze in tight everybody.

Quote from Cliff

Norm: This is too much, Cliff. Either you tell them now, or I'm going to.
Cliff: Yeah, well, I guess I'd better before Bigfoot walks in here and starts singing "The Anniversary Waltz."
Peter: I guess if you give me the tape, we'll be going.
Cliff: Oh! So you want the tape right now? Uh, I tell you what, how about if I take a shot from up here, one last shot. Norm, uh...
Peter: Everybody, over here!
Cliff: Turn this way, uh let me see those pearly whites, huh? Okay, everybody smile. Okay, we'll just back it up here, Norm. Back it up. [clears throat] Open the door, Norm. Okay, back it up. That's good. Okay, I'm just gonna back it up. Everybody wave, yeah. Run like hell!

Quote from Sam

Shauna: You know, uh, I have an idea. Instead of going out, why don't you come over to my place for dinner on Sunday night? Uh, your place? Uh, well, I'd be delighted.
Frasier: Uh, can I bring anything, a dessert maybe?
Shauna: Oh, no, Dr. Crane. Don't bring dessert. I'll take care of that. [exits]
Sam: [giddy] You're going to get dessert! You're going to get dessert!
