Act One.

THE JOB


Scene One - KACL
The Frasier Crane Show. Dr. Frasier Crane, the host, is at his console,
admonishing a caller; Roz Doyle, his call-screener, is in her booth.

Frasier: [firmly] Listen to yourself, Bob! You follow her to work,
you eavesdrop on her calls, you open her mail. The minute
you started doing these things, the relationship was over!
[polite] Thank you for your call. [presses a button; to Roz]
Roz, I think we have time for one more?

Roz speaks in a soothing radio voice.

Roz: Yes, Dr Crane. On line four, we have Russell from Kirkland.
Frasier: [presses a button] Hello, Russell. This is Dr Frasier Crane;
I'm listening.
Russell: [v.o.] Well, I've been feeling sort of, uh, you know,
depressed lately. [Roz looks at the clock] My life's not
going anywhere and-and, er, it's not that bad. It's just
the same old apartment, same old job...

Roz taps on the glass of her booth and motions Frasier to wrap it up.

Frasier: Er, Russell, we're just about at the end of our hour. Let
me see if I can cut to the chase by using myself as an
example. Six months ago, I was living in Boston. My wife
had left me, which was very painful. Then she came back to
me, which was excruciating. On top of that, my practice
had grown stagnant, and my social life consisted of...
hanging around a bar night after night. You see, I was
clinging to a life that wasn't working anymore, and I knew
I had to do something, anything. So, I ended the marriage
once and for all, packed up my things, and moved back here
to my hometown of Seattle. Go Seahawks! [laughs] I took
action, Russell. And you can, too. Move, change, do
something; if it's a mistake, do something else. Will you
do that, Russell? Will you? Russell...? [to Roz]
I think we lost him.
Roz: No, we cut to the news thirty seconds ago.
Frasier: [annoyed; rips off his headphones] Oh, for crying out loud!
I finally bare my soul to all of Seattle, and they're
listening to Chopper Dave's "Rush-Hour Round-Up!"

He gets up and enters Roz's booth. She is busy with administrative stuff.

Frasier: Well, the rest of the show was pretty good. [Roz says
nothing] It was a, a good show, wasn't it?
Roz: [tears him a piece of notepaper] Here, your brother called.
Frasier: Roz, in the trade we call that "avoidance." Don't change
the subject, tell me what you think.
Roz: [points at her console] Did I ever tell you what this
little button does?
Frasier: I am not a piece of Lalique. I can handle criticism. How
was I today?
Roz: [turns her chair to face him] Let's see... you dropped two
commercials, you left a total of twenty-eight seconds of
dead air, you scrambled the station's call letters, you
spilled yogurt on the control board, and you kept referring
to Jerry - with the identity crisis - as "Jeff."

Frasier considers the criticism. He decides to handle it with
avoidance.

Frasier: [takes the notepaper] You say my brother called...
Roz: Mmm-hmm.

Frasier leaves.

FADE OUT

THE BROTHER

Scene Two - Cafe Nervosa

Niles: So I said to the gardener, "Yoshi, I do not want a Zen garden
in my backyard. If I want to rake gravel every ten minutes to
maintain my inner harmony, I'll move to Yokohama." Well, this
offends him, so he starts pulling up Maris's prized Camellias.
Well, I couldn't stand for that, so I marched right into the
morning room and locked the door until he cooled down.

Niles: Tell me you would have handled it differently, Frasier.
Frasier: [looks up] Oh, I'm sorry, Niles, I didn't realise you'd
stopped talking.
Niles: You haven't heard a word I said.
Frasier: Oh Niles, you're a psychiatrist - you know what it's like
to listen to people prattling on endlessly about their
mundane lives.
Niles: Touché. And on that subject, I heard your show today.
Frasier: And?
Niles: You know what I think about pop psychiatry.
Frasier: Yes, I know what you think about everything. When was the
last time you had an unexpressed thought?
Niles: I'm having one now.

They share a chuckle. The waitress behind the bar comes over.
Niles takes his briefcase off the bar and goes to an empty table
nearby.

Waitress: You guys ready?
Frasier: Two cafe latte supremos.


Frasier: No, thank you.

They sit down.

Niles: So, Frasier. How are you doing on your own?
Frasier: I'm fine. I love my new life. I love the solitude.
I miss Frederick like the dickens, of course. You know,
he's quite a boy. He's playing goalie on the peewee soccer
team now. Ha, he's a chip off the old block!
Niles: You hated sports.
Frasier: So does he! [laughs] The fresh air's good for him.
Niles: [laughs] Oh well, this has been fun, Frasier, but... we
have a problem, and that's why I thought we should talk.
Frasier: Is it Dad?
Niles: Afraid so. One of his old buddies from the police force
called this morning. He went over to see him, and found
him on the bathroom floor.
Frasier: Oh my God!
Niles: No, it's okay, he's fine.
Frasier: What, his hip again?
Niles: Frasier, I don't think he can live alone anymore.
Frasier: What can we do?
Niles: Well, I know this isn't going to be anyone's favourite
solution, [opens his briefcase] but I took the liberty of
checking out a few convalescent homes for him. [puts some
brochures on the table]
Frasier: Oh Niles, a home? He's still a young man!
Niles: Well, you certainly can't take care of him - you're just
getting your new life together.
Frasier: Absolutely. Besides, we were never simpatico.
Niles: Of course, I can't take care of him.
Frasier: Oh yes, yes, of course, of course... why?
Niles: Because Dad doesn't get along with Maris.
Frasier: Who does?
Niles: I thought you liked my Maris!
Frasier: I do. I... I like her from a distance. You know, the way
you like the sun. Maris is like the sun. Except without
the warmth.
Niles: Well then, we're agreed about what to do with Dad. [reads a
brochure] "Golden Acres: We Care So You Don't Have To."
Frasier: It says that?
Niles: Well, it might as well!
Frasier: Alright, I'll make up the spare bedroom.
Niles: Oh, you're a good son, Frasier.
Frasier: Oh God, I am, aren't I?

Waitress: Two cafe supremos. Anything to eat?
Frasier: [depressed] No. I seem to have lost my appetite.
Niles: [perky] I'll have a large piece of cheesecake!

FADE TO:

THE FATHER
Scene Three - Apartment

Frasier: Hi!
Niles enters; he is carrying two suitcases.
Niles: We finally made it!
Frasier: Ah Dad, Dad, welcome to your new home! [hugs Martin] Gee, you look great!
Martin: Don't B.S. me, I do not look great. I spent Monday on the
bathroom floor. You can still see the tile marks on my face.
Niles: Gives you some idea about the ride over in the
car.
Frasier: Well, er, here we are...
Frasier: Well, rest assured the refrigerator is stocked with your
favourite beer, Ballantines, [places the glass ornament on
a small folding table] and we've got plenty of hot links
and coleslaw...
Niles: Mmm!
Frasier: And I just rented a Charles Bronson movie for later!
Martin: Let's cut the "Welcome To Camp Crane" speech. We all know
why I'm here. Your old man can't be left alone for ten
minutes without falling on his ass, and Frasier got stuck
with me. Isn't that right?
Frasier/Niles:No, no!
Frasier: I want you here! It'll give us a chance to get reacquainted!
Martin: That implies we were acquainted at one point.
Niles fakes some chuckles, Frasier glares at him.
Niles: Well listen, [picks up the suitcases] why don't I take
Dad's things into his new bachelor quarters so you two
scoundrels can plan some hijinks!
Martin: I think that wife of his is finally driving him nutso.
Frasier: Yes, we Crane boys sure know how to marry. [goes to the
kitchen] Let me get you a beer, Dad. So, ah, what do you
think of what I've done with the place, eh? [returns and
sits on the couch, handing a beer to Martin] You know, every
item here was carefully selected. This lamp by Corbusier,
the chair by Eames, and this couch is an exact replica of
the one Coco Chanel had in her Paris atelier.
Martin: Nothing matches.
Frasier: Well, it's a, it's a style of decorating, it's called
"eclectic." Well, the theory behind it
is, if you've got really fine pieces of furniture, it doesn't
matter if they match - they will go together.
Martin: It's your money.
Frasier: Dad, what do you think of the view? Hey, that's the Space
Needle there!
Martin: Oh, thanks for pointing that out. Being born and raised
here, I never would have known.
Man: Delivery for Martin Crane.
Martin: Oh, in here! [gets up]
Man: Coming through!
Frasier: Excuse me, excuse me, wait a minute-
Man: Where d'you want it?
Martin: Where's the TV?
Niles: It's in that credenza.
Martin: Point it at that thing.
Man: [sees a designer chair in the way] What about this chair?
Niles: Ah, the chair? Here, let me get it out of your way.
Frasier: Niles, Niles, Niles, be careful with that, that's
a Wassily!
Frasier: Oh look, Dad, as dear as I'm sure this, this piece is to you
I, I just don't think it goes with anything here!
Martin: I know, it's eclectic!
Frasier: Niles, Niles, will you help me out here?
Martin: Ah, you're gonna have to run an extension cord over here so
I can plug in the vibrating part.
Frasier: Oh yes, that will be the crowning touch.
Niles quickly heads for the door.
Niles: Well, now that you two are settled in, I've got to run.
I'm late for my dysfunctional family seminar.
Niles: Dad, have you mentioned Eddie yet?
Frasier: Eddie?
Niles: Ta-ta!
Frasier: Oh no, Dad, no, no! Not Eddie!
Martin: But he's my best friend! Get me my beer, would you?
Frasier: But he's weird! He gives me the creeps!
All he does is stare at me.
Martin: Ah, it's just your imagination.
Frasier: No Dad, no! No, I'm sorry, but I am putting my foot down.
Eddie is NOT moving in here.
FADE TO:

Act Two.
Scene Five - Cafe Nervosa.
Niles has just been served his coffee; Frasier rushes in.

Frasier: [anxious] Niles, there you are! I'm sorry I'm late; just as
I was leaving, Dad decided to cook lunch by the glow of a
small kitchen fire! Oh Niles, this last week with Dad, it's,
it's been a living hell! When I'm there, I feel like my
territory's being violated; when I'm not, I'm worried about
what he's up to. Look at me, [shows Niles his shaky hands]
I'm a nervous wreck! I've got to do something to calm down.
[goes to the bar] Double espresso, please! Niles, you don't
still have the brochures from those rest homes, do you?
Niles: Of course I do. Don't forget, Maris is five years older
than I am. But you really think that's necessary?
Frasier: I'm afraid I do. I don't have my life anymore. Tuesday
night I gave up my tickets to the theatre, Wednesday it was
the symphony... [gets his coffee]
Niles: That reminds me, weren't you going to the opera on Friday?
Frasier: Yes, here. [hands him some tickets]
Niles: Thank you.
Frasier: Niles, you don't suppose there's a chance that you and Maris
could...
Niles: Funny you should mention that. Maris and I were just
discussing this. We feel we should do more to share the
responsibility.
Frasier: You mean you'd take him in?
Niles: [laughs incredulously] Dear God, no! But we would be
willing to help you pay for a home care worker.
Frasier: A what?
Niles: You know, someone who cooks and cleans and can help Dad with
his physical therapy.
Frasier: These angels exist?
Niles: I know of an agency - let me arrange for them to send a few
people over to meet with you.
Frasier: Niles, I can't thank you enough! I, I, I feel this
overwhelming urge to hug you!
Niles: Remember what Mom always said: "A handshake is as good as a
hug."
Frasier: Wise woman.

FADE TO:

THE HOME CARE SPECIALIST

Scene Six - Apartment
A woman is standing in the hallway, talking to Frasier.

Frasier: I have never been more impressed with a human being
in my life!
Frasier: ] Now what was wrong with that one?!
Martin: She was casing the joint.
Frasier: "Casing the joint!" She spent two years with Mother Teresa!
Martin: Well, if I were Mother Teresa, I'd check my jewellery box!
Frasier: Oh, this is the last one. Can you please try to keep an
open mind?
Daphne: Oh! Hello - caught me with my hand in the biscuit tin! I'm Daphne, Daphne Moon.
Frasier: Frasier Crane. Please come in.
Daphne: Thank you.
Frasier: Er, this is my father, Martin Crane. Dad, this is Daphne
Moon.
Daphne: Nice to meet you. Oh, and who might this be?
Frasier:That is Eddie.
Martin: I call him "Eddie Spaghetti."
Daphne: Oh, he likes pasta?
Martin: No, he has worms.
Frasier: Er, have a seat, Miss Moon.
Daphne: Daphne. Thank you. Oh, will you look at that. What a comfy chair! It's like I always say, start with a good piece and replace the rest when you can afford it.
Frasier: Yes. Well, er, perhaps you should start by telling us a little bit about yourself, Miss Moon.
Daphne: Well, I'm originally from Manchester, England...
Frasier: Oh really, did you hear that, Dad?
Martin: I'm three feet away. There's nothing wrong with my hearing.

Daphne: I've only been in the U.S. for a few months, but I have quite an extensive background in home care and physical therapy, as you can see from my resume. I... You were a policeman, weren't you?
Martin: Yeah - how'd you know?
Daphne: I must confess - I'm a bit psychic. It's nothing big, just
little things I sense about people. I mean, it's not like I
can pick the lottery. If I could, I wouldn't be talking to
the likes of you two, now would I?
Frasier: Yes. Perhaps I should describe the duties around here.
You would be responsible for...
Daphne: Oh, wait a minute,
I'm getting something on you... you're a florist!

Frasier: No, I'm a psychiatrist.
Daphne: Well, it comes and goes.
Usually, it's strongest during my time of the month. Oh, I
guess I let a little secret out there, didn't I?
Frasier: It's safe with us. Well, Miss Moon, I think we've learned
just about all we need to know about you, and a dash extra!

Daphne: You're a dog, aren't you?

Daphne and Martin laugh.

Frasier: Well, we'll, er, we'll be calling you, Miss Moon. [goes for
the door handle]
Martin: Oh, why wait? [to Daphne] You've got the job!
Daphne: Oh, wonderful!
Frasier: Er excuse me, excuse me, aren't you just
forgetting a little something here? Don't you think we
should talk about this in private?
Daphne: Oh, of course you should; I completely understand. [she
stands up and shoulders her bag] I'll just pop into the loo -
you do have one, don't you?
Frasier: Yes.
Daphne: Oh, I love America...

Frasier: Dad, what do you think you're doing?
Martin: You wanted me to pick one, I picked one.
Frasier: But she's a kook! I don't like her!
Martin: Well, what difference does it make to you? She's only gonna
be here when you're not.
Frasier: Then... what's my problem? [laughs] Daphne!

Frasier: You've been retained.
Daphne: Oh, wonderful! I had a premonition.
Frasier: Quelle surprise.
Daphne: I'll move my things in tomorrow.
Frasier: Oh, move in? Oh, I'm sorry, there must be some
misunderstanding. Er, this isn't a live-in position.
Daphne: Oh, dear. Well the lady at the agency-
Frasier: The lady at the agency was wrong; this is just a part-time
position. I'm, I'm afraid it just won't work out.
Martin: Hold on there, Frasier, let's talk about this!
Frasier: Dad, there's nothing to discuss!
Daphne: You two should talk about this. I'll just pop back in here
and enjoy some more of your African erotic art.
Frasier: Daphne, Daphne - I think it would be best if you leave.
Daphne: Oh well, alright then. [goes to leave]
Frasier: Don't be alarmed. We'll contact you. If not by telephone
then, er, through the toaster.
Frasier: Dad, I'm not having another person living in this house!
Martin: Give me one good reason why not!
Frasier: Well, for one thing, there's no room for her!
Martin: What about that room right across the hall from mine?
Frasier: My study? You expect me to give up my study - the place
where I read, where I do my most profound thinking?
Martin: Ah, use the can like the rest of the world! You'll adjust!
Frasier:I don't want to adjust! I've done enough adjusting!
I'm in a new city, I've got a new job, I'm separated from my
little boy, which in itself is enough to drive me nuts. And
now my father and his dog are living with me! Well, that's
enough on my plate, thank you. The whole idea of getting
somebody in here was to help ease my burden, not to add to it!
Martin: Oh, do you hear that, Eddie? We're a burden.
Frasier: Oh Dad, Dad, you're, you're twisting my words! I meant burden
in its most positive sense!
Martin: As in, "Gee, what a lovely burden?"
Frasier: Something like that, yes!
Martin: Well, you're not the only one who got screwed here, you know.
Two years ago I'm sailing toward retirement and some punk
robbing a convenience store puts a bullet in my hip. Next
thing you know, I'm trading in my golf clubs for one of these.
[shakes his cane] Well, I had plans too, you know! And this
may come as a shock to you, sonny boy, but one of them wasn't
living with you.
Frasier: I'm just trying to do the right thing, here. I'm trying to
be the good son.
Martin: Oh, don't worry, son. After I'm gone you can live guilt-free,
knowing you've done right by your pop.
Frasier: You think that's what this is about, guilt?
Martin: Isn't it?
Frasier: Of course it is! But the point is, I did it! I took you in!
And I've got news for you - I wanted to do it! [on the verge
of tears] Because you're my father. And how do you repay me?
Ever since you've moved in here it's been a snide comment
about this or a smart little put-down about that. [grabs his
coat and goes to the door] Well, I've done my best to make a
home here for you, and once, just once, would it have killed
you to say "thank you?" One lousy "thank you?"

Long pause as Frasier waits expectantly, and Martin looks thoughtful.

Martin: Come on, Eddie, it's past your dinner time.
Frasier: I'm going out.

FADE TO:

LUPE VELEZ


Scene Seven - KACL

Frasier: They have got to move the bathroom closer to the studio!

He throws on his headphones just as Roz points to him.

Frasier: We'll be right back after these messages. Can't I put that on tape?!
Roz: What's eating you?
Frasier: Oh, I'm sorry. It's just this thing with my father and this, this person he wants to hire. I thought I'd started my life with a clean slate. I had picture of what it was going to be like, and then, I don't know...
Roz: Ever heard of Lupe Velez?
Frasier: Who?
Roz: Lupe Velez - the movie star in the '30s. Well, her career hit the skids, so she decided she'd make one final stab at immortality. She figured if she couldn't be remembered for her movies, she'd be remembered for the way she died. And all Lupe wanted was to be remembered. So, she plans this lavish suicide - flowers, candles, silk sheets, white satin gown, full hair and makeup, the works. She takes the overdose of pills, lays on the bed, and imagines how beautiful she's going to look on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper. Unfortunately, the pills don't sit well with the enchilada combo plate she sadly chose as her last meal. She stumbles to the bathroom, trips and goes head-first into the toilet, and that's how they found her.
Frasier: Is there a reason you're telling me this story?
Roz: Yes. Even though things may not happen like we planned, they can work out anyway.
Frasier: Remind me again how it worked for Lupe, last seen with her head in the toilet?
Roz: All she wanted was to be remembered. [beat] Will you ever forget that story?

Frasier: We're back. Roz, who's our next caller?
Roz: We have Martin on line one. He's having a problem with his son.
Frasier:Hello, Martin. This is Dr. Frasier Crane; I'm listening.
Martin: I'm a first-time caller.

Frasier: Welcome to the show. How can I help you?
Martin: I've just moved in with my son and er, it ain't working. There's a lot of tension between us.
Frasier: I can imagine. Why do you think that's so?
Martin: I guess I didn't see he had a whole new life planned for himself, and I kinda got in the way.
Frasier: Well, these things are a two-way street. Perhaps your son wasn't sensitive enough to see how your life was changing.
Martin: [suddenly loud] You got that right! I've been telling him that since I got there!
Frasier: I'm sure he appreciated your candour.
Martin: Well, maybe sometimes I oughta just learn how to keep my trap shut.
Frasier: That's good advice for us all. Anything else?
Martin: Yeah, I'm worried my son doesn't know that I really appreciate what he's doing for me.
Frasier: Why don't you tell him?
Martin: Well, you know how it is with fathers and sons, it... I have trouble saying that stuff.
Frasier: Well, if it helps, I suspect your son already knows how you feel. Is that all?
Martin: Yeah, I guess that's it. Thank you, Dr Crane.
Frasier: My pleasure, Martin.
Martin: Did you hear what I said? I said "thank you!"
Frasier: Yes, I heard.
Roz: Dr Crane, we have Claire on line four. She's having a
problem getting over a relationship.
Frasier: Hello, Claire. I'm listening.
Claire: I'm a, well, I'm a mess! Eight months ago my boyfriend and I broke up, and I just can't get over it. The pain isn't going away. It's almost like I'm in mourning or something.
Frasier: Claire, you are in mourning. But you're not mourning the loss of your boyfriend. You're mourning the loss of what you thought your life was going to be. Let it go. Things don't always work out how you planned; that's not necessarily bad. Things have a way of working out anyway. Have you ever heard of Lupe Velez?

多分ボキャブラリーの乏しい人にとってはこの１エピソードでもかなりいっぱいボキャビルできますよ★

最後にこのドラマを見るのにpsychiatristという単語を知らないのは非常にまずいです。意味は精神科医です☆

あっ、あとエンディングの歌詞は以下の通りです。いろんなバージョンがあります。

Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin',
Tossed salad and scrambled eggs

Oh My Mercy (alt: Quite stylish.)

And maybe I seem a bit confused,
Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged!
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
They're callin' again.

(The following are alternate endings)

They're callin' again.
Good night, Seattle, we love you.
What is a boy to do. Good night.
Frasier has left the building.
Thank You!
Scambled eggs all over my face. What is a boy to do. Goodnight, everybody.
See you next year, we love ya.

suspectについて
普段日本語訳だけに頼っている人は、doubtとsuspectの違いをあまり理解していません。
定義を見てこれらが同じ『怪しいと思う』という訳文でも違うものであることを知ってください。

suspect=to think that something is probably true, especially something bad
つまりこちらは、あくまで肯定なのです。逆に
doubt=to think that something may not be true or that it is unlikely:
こちらはnot thinkなので否定なのです。動詞は特に英英が必要ですね。

mess=if someone is a mess, they look dirty and untidy, or are in a bad emotional state
この場合or以下の定義でしょう。

or is no longer as good as it used to be


以上で１エピソード終了です。
結構おもしろい表現がたくさんでてきました！音読して考えなくてもさらっとでてくるまで繰り返すと自分の語彙になると思います。理解しただけではいつまでたっても使えないままです。無理やり使ってみましょうw

一応、こんな感じで、いろんなエピソードやっていきます。
一応youtubeで画像の見つかるエピソードを順番にやっていこうかなあと、、

ちなみにここまでで上げた表現意外でもし意味がわからなかったらそれを調べて（または質問するなりして）書き込んでください★印象にのこるので覚えが早いですよ。ふ〜んと見ているだけではすぐ忘れますからね。

個人的な感想：
やはりフレイジャーは怒ったりするセリフでは相当セリフがはやくなりますね。だいたい言ってることはわかったりするのですが、詳細を分析すると新たな発見がたくさんありました。また父マーティンはかなりくだけた言葉をつかいますね。ダフネはブリッティシュだったりと、結構幅広い英語が楽しめると思いました。
