    Integrity Is Overrated

    Frasier's employer is playing hardball on contract negotiations. He has dumped Bebe, who is unscrupulous but highly successful as an agent. Frasier, wishing to take the hight road, hires a dinglejolly guy who is big into public service. As a matter of fact, the guy is a saint. But he has no negotiations skills at all. He decides to make Frasier into a public service guy himself by having a bird at the zoo take on his name (of course, he is a crane). Some pretty funny stuff here.

      In the café, after Frasier tells the waitress "We're fine, thank you", the shot cuts to Niles. The woman at the table behind him is emptying a flask into her coffee cup. (around 16:20)
    • Goofs
      In the coffee shop while talking with Bebe, Roz's hand goes from up near her mouth holding a piece of muffin to down on her lap between camera cuts.
    • Quotes

      [Bebe enters the men's room on Café Nervosa]

      Bebe: Frasier, we have to talk.

      Frasier: Are you aware that you are in the men's room?

      Bebe: Oh, please, if I paid attention to signs with little pictures on them - I would never get a parking space.

    • Crazy credits
      When the title "Frasier" (in yellow letters) and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, a helicopter takes off of the top of one of the "buildings".
