[Going over to Niles' table in the coffeehouse]
Frasier: My God, Niles, it's such a glorious day. I walked all the way here. Thirty-two blocks, and Bruno Mallies be damned. Oh yes, I see the look. I know exactly what it means, too. How could I very well say "no" to Diane? She
came to me in crisis. Oh, excuse me, a double cappuccino, please. Light cinnamon, thank you very much. [sighs] Oh, you know, the change in Diane has really been quite gratifying. Dropped her off at the theater
today, and there was a smile on her face that I haven't seen in... well, far too many years. Oh, I know what you're thinking. Where did she get the money to do the play? Well, she found a backer. ... It's tax deductible! [The waitress brings his coffee] Thank you. Oh, why don't you go ahead and say what you're thinking, Niles? That I'm falling for her again. "Well, you did bounce in here as though you were on top of the world, and babbling about her smile"- I just don't want to hear it, Niles! I'm simply helping her to get back on her feet and out of my life as quickly as possible. No, I don't know how long it's going to take. Look, I said I don't know. Oh, really, Niles! Curse you, you are the most infuriating busybody. I'm not sitting with you.
[After Frasier takes his drink and walks away from the table, Niles pulls out his pad and starts writing]
