Season 10, Episode 17 - Aired March 4, 2003
Frasier gives Kenny therapy after his divorce is finalised. Meanwhile, Niles and Daphne get competitive when they take yoga lessons.
Quote from Daphne
Niles: Frasier, wasn't that your Patient X that was leaving with Dad?
Frasier: Ah, yes, now my ex-Patient X. Actually, I'd like to discuss it with you if you've got a few minutes.
Niles: Yes, well, coincidentally, I just read a fascinating paper on early termination. Now, the hypothesis was...
Daphne: I think I'll get something to eat.
Niles: Oh, you have something here.
Daphne: Something else.
Niles: Oh, well, here, try mine.
Daphne: Please, just let me go.
Quote from Niles
Niles: So, so whose decision was it to terminate your sessions?
Frasier: Kenny.
Niles: Well, uh, early individuation can stem from anything from transference to delayed adolescent rebellion.
Frasier: If only it were that complicated, Niles.
Niles: What happened?
Frasier: Well, it's Dad. He's been taking Kenny to McGinty's every night. He's giving him therapy in the form of beer and fun.
Niles: Poor Kenny!
Quote from Niles
Ahmrit: First of all, bring up your knees like this. Now bring your arms back towards your ankles.
Daphne: Ooh. I don't think I can do this one. It hurts.
Ahmrit: Oh, don't push. You should be feeling discomfort, not pain. If you feel pain, ease yourself gently back towards discomfort.
Niles: Is it something like this, Yogi?
Ahmrit: I'm impressed, Niles. You know, perhaps one day, you might be able to achieve upward bow. Urdhbadhanurasana.
Niles: Oh, you mean this one?
Ahmrit: Yes!
Niles: Oh, remind me to tell Rosa to vacuum the sisal.
Quote from Niles
Ahmrit: I'm speechless, Niles. I've never seen such a rapid improvement.
Daphne: How did you do that? Oh, I think I tweaked a muscle on that last pose.
Niles: [still in upward bow] Oh, no, we should put some ice on that.
Daphne: Good idea. I guess we know who's better at yoga now. [exits to the kitchen]
Niles: Now, Daphne, there's no better. It's all about achieving oneness of body and spirit. [to Ahmrit] Okay, now I need you to take me to the hospital.
Ahmrit: What?
Niles: I broke my body. I dislocated my shoulder and I think that one of my ribs has achieved two-ness.
Quote from Martin
Frasier: He's doomed.
Martin: What are you talking about? He scored, and she's a cheap date.
Frasier: Oh, Dad, please, he is not ready for a relationship. How could you let him do something like this?
Martin: Don't blame me for that. It was the jacket. He wasn't here ten minutes before she wanted to touch it.
Quote from Roz
Frasier: Well, I think we've got time for one last caller. Go ahead, Mindy, I'm listening.
Mindy: "[softly] It's about my mother, Dr. Crane. Ever since I got married, she's been...yes, the cashmere turtleneck is $39."
Frasier: Excuse me, what?
Mindy: "Sorry, I work in catalog sales, and my boss just walked past. So, anyway, my mom...yes, it's on sale till the end of the month."
Frasier: Mindy, we are pressed for time.
Roz: Hold on, Frasier. Cashmere for under 40 bucks? I'll take one in black. In medium. Wait, is that medium-medium or unrealistic-anorexic-model-medium?
Mindy: "It sounds like you might want to go for the large."
Roz: Oh, really.
Frasier: And that's our show. What size will Roz order? Will she accessorize? Tune in tomorrow for the exciting conclusion. Good day, Seattle.
Quote from Kenny
Kenny: Dynamite show, Doc, one of your best. Rosalinda, great work on the control panel. I'm going to start calling you "Control Freak." Well, you're probably wondering, "Who put a quarter in him today?" I just got a call from my lawyer. My divorce, final. I'm back to my tomcat days. Lock up your daughters, Seattle! Kenny Daly's on the loose!
Roz: You might want to lose the wedding ring, tomcat.
Kenny: Oh, yeah. Time to remove my shackle. Well, that's weird. Ooh, that's really stuck! Funny. That's how my wife described our marriage. [continuing to violently tug at his wedding ring] "Stuck!" Well, you're not stuck anymore, are you?!
Quote from Kenny
Frasier: Well, I suppose if you'd like to stop by my place and discuss your feelings informally, there'd be no harm in that.
Kenny: Thanks, Doc. And I'm paying you for your time.
Frasier: No, no, that's hardly necessary.
Kenny: No, no, no. I insist. Now what do you get?
Frasier: Kenny, don't worry about it. I'll gladly do it for free. What do you say we get together Friday night?
Kenny: Thanks, Doc. I wish my ex-wife was as agreeable as you. And dead.
Frasier: Okay, maybe tonight's better.
Quote from Kenny
Kenny: When are we going to talk about my divorce?
Frasier: Ah, you may not know it, Kenny, but we already are. Now, for our next session, I want you to write a letter telling your father how you feel. Don't send it, just write it.
Kenny: Homework? You never said there was going to be any homework.
Frasier: It's all part of the process. Good night, Kenny.
Quote from Martin
Martin: [entering from the kitchen] Geez, I thought that would never end.
Frasier: Dad, how long have you been in there?
Martin: The whole damn time. I went in for a beer, and Kenny came in and started crying and I was trapped.
