Season 2, Episode 22 -  Aired May 9, 1995

Frasier gets more than he bargained for when Bebe renegotiates his contract at the station.

Quote from Niles

Frasier: I'm still worried about Bebe.
Niles: I thought you said she took it well.
Frasier: Well, she did, but you know how it is with strong women. Sometimes their strength masks their vulnerability. Well, let's face it. Once a woman has dipped her toe into Crane Lake, dry land is never the same again.
Niles: Yes, she's probably home in her room writing "Mrs. Bebe Crane" over and over in the margin of her algebra book.

Quote from Martin

Frasier: Roz. Roz, they're just trying to scare me.
Martin: And he knows they're trying to scare him, and they know that he knows they're trying to scare him,
because he knows that they know that he knows—
Frasier: Thank you, Dad! [to Roz] They're just bluffing, it's like a card game.
Martin: Like a card game, it's like a dance. The whole thing sounds like a weekend in Vegas.

Quote from Bebe

Bebe: [on the phone] Tom Duran, please. Bebe Glaser calling. Tom? Bebe's bored! You've huffed, and you've puffed, but our house is still standing. We're giving you a midnight deadline. Either call us here at Frasier's and tell us you'll renegotiate, or we'll walk. Love ya. There. That should make them sweat, don't you think?

Quote from Niles

Niles: Oh dear, don't turn around. It's that dreadful woman who works for you.
Frasier: Who?
Niles: Um, uh... Lady MacBeth without the sincerity?
Frasier: Oh. Oh, Bebe's here.

Quote from Niles

Niles: Hello, I'm Niles, a person at the table.
Bebe: Niles, thank God you're here! Back me up, give him some sound brotherly advice.
Niles: She's the devil, Frasier. Run fast, run far.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: You see, we do things differently. Negotiations are like a- Are like a dance. They expect me to fight my contract. They know I'm not sick. I know they know I'm not sick. They know I know they know I'm not sick. It's all part of the negotiations mambo.

Quote from Martin

Martin: Well, I think I'm gonna hit the hay too.
Bebe: That's awfully risky of you, isn't it? Leaving us kids out here un-chaperoned?
Martin: Better him than me.

Quote from Bebe

Bebe: Think of them sweating in their offices. Chain-smoking, biting their nails, their ulcers churning out enough acid to burn a hole in a ship's hull! Ooh, God! And to think I nearly went into nursing.

Quote from Bebe

Frasier: But you know, in fact, I think it's time maybe we discussed those other offers. Consider what our fallback position should be.
Bebe: Ooh, someone's out of Scotch!
Frasier: Bebe, tell me there are other offers.
Bebe: Scads!
Frasier: Now, you look me in the eye and tell me the truth!
Bebe: There are no other offers. Straight up, or on the rocks?
Frasier: Oh, my God!
Bebe: Darling, you can't make a deal without bluffing a little.
Frasier: You're supposed to bluff them, not me.

Quote from Bebe

Frasier: Answer it.
Bebe: Not yet. Where are we? Have we gone out? Is it too late?
Frasier: Answer it!
