Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKelsey Grammer has only 2 minutes and 46 seconds of screen time in this episode, making it the only time he appears in the form of a cameo, as he was being treated for his addiction problems. As result, it was re-written and entirely centered around Niles (David Hyde Pierce). Grammer filmed his bit for the intro at a later date and it was tacked on to the episode before broadcast.
- GoofsDuring Reggie McLemore's (Lorenzo Newton) TV interview, you can see a strip of black electrician's tape over the brand name on Frasier's (Kelsey Grammer) television so that there is no free advertisements on the show.
- Quotes
[Niles refuses to sub for Frasier during his vacation]
Frasier: Very well. You leave me no alternative but to call in my marker.
Niles: [nervous] What marker?
Frasier: Oh, I think you know.
Niles: You wouldn't.
Frasier: I would.
Niles: You can't!
Frasier: I will.
Niles: That was three years ago.
Frasier: I don't recall there being any statute of limitations. I distinctly recall that when you asked me to go out with Maris's sister, you said that you would "owe me one forever."
Niles: But you only spent one evening with Brie. That hardly compares with what you're asking me to endure.
Frasier: Oh? Shall I refresh your memory? Midway through the opera her ermine muff began to tremble. As it turned out she had used it to smuggle in her adorably incontinent Chihuahua. Just as I thought we'd reached the low point of the evening I suddenly felt a sandpaper tongue licking my earlobe. Alas it did not belong to little Hervé! Fortunately my shriek coincided with the on-stage murder of Gondolfo! Roz will expect you on Monday at two.
Niles: For your information, Brie had a very tough row to hoe growing up. It's not easy going through life with one nostril.
Frasier: Did I mention she had a cold that night?
Niles: ...Monday at two it is.
