Frasier: Hello, condo owners. I'm sorry my opponent has chosen to be vindictive about my family, but that is merely characteristic of her behavior during her entire term in office. How else would one explain this? This citation my father received last night is a perfect example of the prejudice that this woman is capable of.
Ms. Langer: We are all aware of your father's behavior last night. I'm surprised you're not too afraid to bring it up.
Frasier: Ashamed? Not at all! I defend his behavior! So he had his little friend out where he shouldn't be. So what? He's been doing it for years!
Ms. Langer: You approve of his behavior?
Frasier: Approve? I applaud it! Have you no compassion? My father is getting older. He hasn't many pleasures left in life. I can't tell you the hours of joy that that little guy has brought him. And not just him. Who among us can't help but break into a smile upon seeing the little fella? Oh, I know, you know, sometimes it is irksome when his little Eddie appears at any inopportune moments, but...
Ms. Langer: He's named it Eddie?
Frasier: Not exactly, of course, a name I might have chosen. I might have gone with something a bit more... Oh, I don't know, whimsical like, uh, oh... Puck. You know, the frolicsome sprite from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Don't look so shocked. Whom does it really harm if he unleashes Eddie once in a while? Come on, it's not as though he's alone in this behavior. Mrs. Tortwurst, I've seen you do the same thing many times with your Fluffy. You know, if you ask me, not only is this behavior harmless, it's laudable. Why, you should see the looks on the faces of the schoolchildren when he takes Eddie out by the playground.
[Daphne rushes in.]
Frasier: What, what, what?
[Daphne whispers in Frasier's ear. He reviews the citation again.]
Frasier: On the other hand, we all need rules. [turns to Daphne] Go, go, go!
[Frasier and Daphne run out. He sticks his head back in the room:]
Frasier: Sorry about the knocker.
