All language subtitles for Frasier - 8x18 - Forgotten But Not Gone.HDTV.NoTV.en

Thank you. Thank you,
Brother Reynolds,

for your inaugural ode.

And may l congratulate you
on your ingenuity

in rhyming ''Sauvignon''
with ''tie one on.''

Sir.

And now,
as outgoing corkmaster,

it is my privilege
to bestow the sash of office

upon the newly-elected corkmaster.

Which would be me.

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you for your support.

lt humbles me,
and l only hope to live up

to the shining example
of my predecessor.

[NlLES LAUGHlNG]

And, of course,
the example of my opponent,

the other Brother Crane,
who so graciously conceded

after that fourth recount. Uh...

ls he here?

l guess he's not.
Well, l'm sure he's with us in spirit.

Uh, if you'll indulge me,
l've cobbled together a few remarks

to express what this moment
means to me.

l'm sorry. Don't start yet.
Oh, God. l'm terribly sorry l'm late.

You know, it's just coming down
in buckets out there.

- Hello, Frasier.
- Oh, hi.

Just as the cork protects the wine,

as corkmaster,
l hope to protect the wine club

from the forces
of metaphorical oxidation.

Oh, Lord, Niles, are you in the middle
of your inauguration speech?

- l'm so sorry.
- That's all right. That's all right.

lt's just that l have an announcement
of my own to make.

Yes, well, new business
is concluded, brother Crane.

- l move we reopen new business.
- Second.

- Denied.
FRASlER: Point of order.

Once a motion's been seconded,
there's a vote.

Just tell us your new business.

To override procedure,
there must be a quorum.

Very well. Move for a vote.

- Second.
- All in favour?

ALL: Aye.
- Motion carried. Make a note.

- Noted, corkmaster.
NlLES: Thank you.

Proceed.

l remember when we
used to come here to drink.

- Go ahead.
- Corkmaster,

members of the Wine Cabinet,

esteemed brothers and sisters,
l come here tonight with a heavy heart.

You see, l am resigning
from the wine club.

- What?
REYNOLDS: Oh, no.

This wouldn't have anything to do
with my winning the election, would it?

No, no, of course not, Niles.
l couldn't be happier for you.

You see, l've been afforded
a marvellous opportunity

to pass on what l've learned here
to a much larger audience.

Starting next week,

l will be hosting a new feature
on KACL called The Wine Corner,

just at the end of Gil Chesterton's
Restaurant Beat.

[MURMURlNG]

- Thank you.
- Can't you do both?

Oh, well, no. Regrettably, no.

You see, like this Camembert,

l am at my most delicious
when l'm not spread too thin.

But this isn't goodbye
by any stretch of the imagination.

Please, l invite each and every
one of you to call into my show

so that you can help me
get Seattle hooked

on our sometimes whimsical,
always enlightened

brand of discussion.

But l've taken enough time
away from Niles.

After all, this is his night.

He has been elected corkmaster
of this fine club.

Thank you, Frasier.

l thought you were settling in
for a long farewell speech.

- Second.
- All in favour?

ALL: Aye.
- Well, if you insist.

lt was a short seven years ago,
on a night very much like this one,

a man had a dream...

[FOOTSTEPS]

All right, Roz, now,
this is a very different kind of show

we're gonna be doing,
so are you clear on the procedure?

What's so hard?

You talk for a while, l screen calls,
you answer them, l look interested--

- Oh, l see the hard part.
- Oh, ha-ha, very funny.

This is a list of the members
of the wine club.

lf any of these names
should happen to call,

put them through,
and fasten your seat belt

for an all-out, freewheeling
symposium.

- Hey, there's my Renaissance man.
- Oh, Kenny.

lf you can't solve their problems
with therapy, solve them with drinking.

Yes, well, let's just keep that
out of the ads, shall we?

- Heh. Too late.
FRASlER: Oh.

Kenny...

And finally,
no review of Le Petit Oiseau

would be complete
without a word about their d�cor.

Hideous.

l'll be back after these messages.

[lN SlNG-SONG VOlCE]
And we're out.

Hi, Lance.

Here's Frasier, and this is Roz.

- She'll be producing the show.
- Hi.

ROZ: Hi.
- Oh, my, isn't that interesting?

Yes, well, Frasier wants me
to produce his segment of the show.

We have to get the levels right to
accommodate the timbre of his voice.

My, my, my,
isn't she the fuss-pot?

Actually, it was my idea.

[lN SlNG-SONG VOlCE]
That's who l was talking about.

Listen, Gil, l hope you don't mind
my doing this segment.

Oh, perish the thought.
l'm ecstatic.

As ecstatic as you would be

if someone hijacked
the last 1 5 minutes of your show.

Hey, Gil,
what is the deal with Lance?

Oh, smitten already,
are we, Roz?

Well, he's certainly catnip
to the ladies.

No, that was-- Really?

Well, that's what he claims.

Of course, l've never actually
seen him with a woman.

Well, just between us, l've always
thought he went the other way.

Which way would that be?

[lN SlNG-SONG VOlCE]
And we're back.

Normally at this time, l'd be doing
my final segment on food

for the calorie-conscious,
''All Things Light and Edible.''

But, apparently,
health is going to take a back seat

to the random musings
of a radio psychiatrist on wine.

So without further ado,

l give you The Wine Corner,
with your host, Dr. Frasier Crane.

Thank you, Gil,
for that gracious introduction.

And hello to you, Seattle.
Welcome to The Wine Corner.

l hope you're as excited
about this new programme as l am.

l offer myself as Sherpa,
a guide, if you will,

to lead you through the labyrinth
of vintages and wine lists,

chateaus and bodegas,
and take you, hopefully,

to a whole new level
of sophistication.

ln summary, Linda,

the year listed on the bottle
is not an expiration date.

So that wine from 1 997
should be perfectly safe to drink.

- Who else, Roz?
- We have ten seconds, Frasier.

ln that case, this is Frasier Crane

reminding you that a great wine
is like a great woman,

always intoxicating, ever surprising,
and only getting better with age.

- Aw, do you really believe that?
- Oh, who cares, Roz?

l stopped listening
to myself ten minutes ago.

Are you sure no one
from the wine club called?

l'm positive. Don't feel bad.
You got a lot of other callers.

lt's just that
l was hoping to provoke

the same kind of spirited debates
we have at the wine club.

No holds barred free-for-alls

that sometimes go into
the wee hours of the night,

and even spill out into the streets.

Oh, Roz, we loved wine then.

Huzzah, Frasier.

l'm sure everyone who was listening
is hitting the bottle as we speak.

Well, Lance and l
are going for a boys' night out.

Lock up your daughters.

[lNHALES DEEPLY]

[MUTTERlNG]

Dad, tell me if you think this is too
subtle for my listening audience.

''This delightful offering is infused
with the brooding,

almost dangerous presence
of vanilla.''

No, it's not too subtle,

unless you want them to know
what the hell you're talking about.

What, you don't think it's clear
that l enjoyed the wine?

l don't think it's clear
you're talking about wine.

[DOORBELL RlNGS]

- Lord, that'll be the new therapist.
- Ah, lucky me.

Oh, now, behave yourself, Dad.

lt's only until Daphne comes back.
You have no idea how difficult it is

to find a therapist
that can also cook.

- Her name is Frederica.
- Oh.

Sounds German.
You know what that means.

She was probably kicked off
the shot-put team for using steroids.

Now, Dad, the Germans never threw
anybody off the team for that.

[CHUCKLES]

- Ah. Hello.
- Hi, l'm Frederica.

Won't you come in?
Here, let me take your bag.

l'm Dr. Frasier Crane,
and this is my father, Martin.

- Here, let me take your coat.
- Pleasure to meet you.

Listen, my father's been,
well, letting his exercises slide a bit.

Oh, well, that's human nature,
Dr. Crane.

People neglect their exercising
for many reasons:

Holidays, travel, illness,
lack of time, death.

And there's only one
of those excuses that l accept:

lt's holidays.

[LAUGHlNG]

- Ah, it's just your leg l'm pulling.
- Oh. Well, good one.

l was worried that you were gonna
be one of those drill-sergeant types.

You'll show me your exercise mat.

That's my other leg
you're pulling, huh?

Now!

[SlGHS]

Now, ahem...

Ah, yes.

[lNHALES DEEPLY]

''But discernable

only to the educated palate

is the hint of violets

that lingers
like a haunting refrain.''

[MARTlN SCREAMS]

Good Lord.

Oh. Shame on you, Dr. Crane.

You really should have kept him
at his exercises.

- ls he all right?
- No, indeed.

- He is shamefully out of shape.
- But l meant--

But don't worry.
l got here just in time.

l'll shape him up
or know the reason why.

[PHONE RlNGlNG]

Hello.

Oh, yes, thank you for returning
my call, Brother Peabody.

Yes, well, l was just wondering
how come none of the members

have been calling
my wine show.

No.

Well, just because Niles
is corkmaster,

it doesn't mean
he has the right to dictate

whom you may and may not call.

Good Lord,
the man is my own brother.

How can someone turn his back
on his own flesh and blood?

[MARTlN SCREAMlNG]

Someone on the phone here!

ALL:
Aye.

lt is so resolved.
Any other business?

Ah. Former Brother Crane,
what are you doing here?

You know very well.

How dare you instruct the members
not to call into my radio show.

l simply directed their attention
to law 1 0C

which states that the club shall not,
through contract or deed,

- endorse any commercial endeavour.
- Any commercial endeavour.

Yes, you can hide
behind some flimsy by-law

if you wish to
for as long as you like.

We both know the subtext
behind this pretext, vindictiveness.

- Oh. l've--
- ln light of this abuse of power,

l move that the corkmaster
be stripped of his title,

and that some well-deserving
member be named in his stead.

Oh. The motion fails
for lack of a second.

- Second.
- Stop that. Motion denied.

Point of order, a motion cannot
be denied that has been seconded.

The chair doesn't recognise motions
from former members, ergo,

there can be no second
to a motion that doesn't exist.

l move whatever it takes
to get us to the bar.

Second that.

All right, the chair declares a state of
emergency and a five-minute recess.

[BANGS GAVEL]

l want you out of here. lt's bad enough
you upstaged me the other night.

l did no such thing.

Oh, no, you could've picked any time
to announce your resignation,

but you chose
my inauguration to do it.

Nonsense, Niles.
Will you listen to yourself?

- This is just a wine club.
- Just a wine club?

That's not the platform
you campaigned on two years in a row.

You can say anything
you want now,

you know how important
this place is to me.

Yes, and you know how important
my radio show is to me.

Oh, well, l guess then we're even.

So you admit it.

You have dishonoured this club
with your selfishness.

Yes, well,
at least l'm still in the club.

You are a trespasser.
Sergeant at arms.

Well, we can do this the easy way
or the hard way.

All right, call off your henchman.

All right, thank you.
Stand down, Brother Hefflewhite.

l'm just trying to save you
from yourself, Niles.

l see. Well, goodbye,
former brother.

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

- Hi, Dad.
- Hi.

Anything good on TV tonight?

l don't know. Why?

Oh, got the night free.
Thought we might hang out together.

Oh, that's nice.

You know, l usually have Wine Club
on Wednesday nights.

What do you usually do
Wednesday nights?

Oh, just sit back,
uh, enjoy the silence.

Sounds good.

- Seven thirty.
- Mm.

Wonder what they're doing
at the wine club.

Oh, jeez.
You gonna do this all night?

No, no, Dad, you're right. l'm sorry.

lt's just that l hate to see
a once-proud institution

making so many foolish mistakes.

Well, if it makes you feel any better,
the club will probably fail without you.

lt'll be no fun.
All the members will resign.

This time next month they'll probably
have torn the building down.

l never know
when you're being facetious.

Yeah, you do.

All right, all right,
let's talk about something else.

- How was your physical therapy?
- Oh.

lt was the most painful afternoon
of my life.

She did things to me.

Bad things.

Well, Dad, l suppose
we could look for another therapist.

Oh, hold on a second.
Here, try this.

[LAUGHlNG]

My God.
Oh, that sauerbraten is ambrosia.

Oh, and wait till you wash it down
with her papa's homemade lager.

How is everything?

Oh, gosh, Frederica,
l've never tasted anything so divine.

Oh, yeah, you see, Dr. Crane,

l don't believe that fitness depends
on starving yourself.

The secret is exercise, hard work,
then good food,

and lots of it
when you've earned it.

- Oh...
- Well, this is fabulous food.

You haven't earned it!

[LAUGHlNG]

FREDERlCA:
That's just my way of having fun.

Of course, you're welcome.
l'll get another plate.

Thank you.

We ought to get Niles over here,
you know.

He'd love this stuff.

Niles? Dad, l told you, Niles
is no longer welcome in this house.

Thank you, Frederica.

Oh, son, why don't you just
ask your brother to take you back?

l did.

l called him and l apologised.

He would hear none of it.

All he did was keep quoting rules
and by-laws.

Just like when you were kids
with that fort.

You were always making up
these big fancy rules

and titles for yourself.
lt always ended up in a fight.

l didn't like it then,
and l don't like it now.

All right, then,
we just won't talk about it.

Besides,
l'm through with the wine club.

Good. Why don't we
just enjoy our Wednesday?

Second.

All in favour?

Aye.

Motion carried.

l'm done now.

NlLES:
Mm. Mm-hm, mm-hm.

l'm getting oak
with plummy overtones.

l'm getting screwed on alimony.

Niles, l wanna talk to you.

Dad? What happened?
ls there something wrong?

You're damned right there is.
lt's about you and Frasier.

Good God, you wear a sash?

Frasier sent you down here,
didn't he?

FRASlER: No.
- Frasier, get in here, now.

Dad, this isn't necessary.

Yeah, we can talk about this
some other time.

Zip it up, both of you.

l just gave up the best meal of my life
to come down here, so listen up.

Niles, let your brother play.

Dad, this is not a game.

This is a club,
and Frasier broke the rules.

- Technically, l did--
- Zip!

Well, then you write a new rule
so that Frasier can come back.

- First, l want an apology.
- l said zip it.

- He did. l heard him.
- Don't get smart.

Now, are you gonna
let your brother play?

- Dad, l-- Why--?
- Are you gonna let your brother play?

Are you gonna
let your brother play?

Fine.

Am l gonna have any more trouble
between you two?

- No.
- No.

No what?

- No, sir.
- No, sir.

Good. Now, shake hands.

That's more like it.

Now, you don't mind, l've got
a big plate of Gew�rzpl�tzchen

waiting for me at home
with my name on it.

Ahem. Well, let's get back
to the wine, shall we?

You got yelled at by your dad.

[LAUGHlNG]

- Well, be that as it may--
- Zip it.

- Niles.
- Hello, Frasier.

Thought we could drive over
to Wine Club together.

Actually,
l'm thinking about not going.

Why not?

Niles, truth be told, my enthusiasm
for the wine club has started to turn.

l know what you mean.

lt used to be the wine club,
now it's just the teasing-people club.

Then let's not go.

They'll put our names
in the absent bottle.

We'll have to bring
the crackers next time.

- What if there's no next time?
- What do you mean?

Niles, those people
don't care about wine.

Not the way you and l do, no.

What's preventing us from starting
a whole new club from scratch?

- We could really get back to basics.
- Something that's just about wine,

and a clear constitutional procedure
for enjoying it.

Yes, well, then maybe this time
the governing body could be bicameral.

Well, l don't know, Niles.

There is something to be said
for the parliamentary system.

Well, either way, we have to have
a strong judiciary to keep it in check.

God, l love wine.
