Ah, Niles.
Hello.
Is it just me, or are the sidewalk Santas getting pushy? Well, tomorrow is Christmas.
I suppose they might be expecting a little downturn after that.
Cappuccino, please.
So? When does Frederick arrive? In six hours and twenty-one minutes.
Not that I'm the least bit excited.
Yes, I'm sure he's excited too.
First Christmas at daddy's.
I imagine he has visions of sugarplums dancing through his head.
No, Lilith doesn't allow sweets, he's probably got visions of bran.
Well, I've got my own reasons to celebrate.
Maris and I may be together again, by the new year.
Oh, really Niles? Yep, yeah.
I called this morning to arrange the delivery of her Christmas gift, and she said the only gift she'd accept from me was an abject apology.
Going to cave into her, aren't you? Au contraire.
I told her I was not about to apologise, and from that point on, the respect in her voice came through loud and clear.
No small feat, considering at the time she was speaking at the time through the hole in her massage table.
Oh, hi Roz.
Hey.
Double espresso, please.
This last-minute Christmas shopping is killing me.
I never know what to give the men in my life.
Since when? Ha, ha.
Funny man.
Excuse me, I'll take care of this.
Oh, thank you Niles.
What's new, Niles? I have been keeping it under wraps but, Maris and I have separated.
Oh, my God! I had no idea.
I can't believe no-one told me.
This is such a surprise! That's enough, Talulah.
You're not fooling anyone.
I'm sorry sir, your card didn't clear.
I have to do this.
Wait, wait! What are you doing? The computer said "credit cancelled by order of co-signatory.
" Maris has cancelled your credit card.
Whoa, Merry Christmas! Would you care to use a different one? There's no point, they're all in her name.
I'm calling her right now and demanding the restoration of my credit card.
And my bank accounts.
And my phone service! Doc, I'm at the airport, and I'm having a lot of trouble getting on the plane.
Now Bob, statistics prove that we're safer in the air than on the ground.
That-that's not it.
I'm supposed to be flying home to Newark for Christmas, but the flight the next gate over has a flight to Maui.
I'm telling you, it's calling me, Doc.
Why are you hesitant to go home? Because it's the same thing every year.
I travel three thousand miles to sit down at the dinner table with my family, and what do we talk about? What's going on in out lives? No.
Our hopes and dreams? No.
We talk about the turkey.
"Boy, that's quite a bird.
" "Twenty-four pounder.
" "What time did you have to get up to put that in the oven, Ange?" "Oh boy, that's moist.
You must have been basting that bird all day.
" "Are those walnuts in the stuffing?" "Oh god, I forgot to put the rolls in the oven.
" I guess what I'm trying to say, Bob, is that we're all in the same gravy boat.
But you see, the important thing is that we spend time with our loved ones.
Just think how you'd feel if you woke up tomorrow morning six thousand miles away from your home.
Well, I tell ya, that really puts it in perspective, doc.
I got a plane to catch.
Mele Keleke Maka, Bob.
We'll be right back after these messages.
Oh, Roz.
What did they say, what did they say? Oh, relax.
Frederick's flight is still on time, he'll be here in less than three hours.
Oh, and the florist called, you can pick up your wreath on the way home.
Oh, fabulous.
You know, every year Dad puts that kitschy creature with the lightbulb nose on the door.
Hey, great party.
Best one ever, thanks to me.
I hired a stripper! Doc, you will never guess what her name is Candy Kane.
What are the odds? For those of you who have not yet sampled the punch, here is my capsule review: vile bouquet, unwholesome colour, ghastly taste - and a kick that is simply heaven.
OK, 30 seconds, Out! All right people, out, out, please.
Hey, Roz.
You know what's over my head? Almost any clever remark? What's she mean by that? Oh, listen Roz.
I know you've got a plane to catch and the traffic to the airport is probably very bad, so in the spirit of the Christmas season, why don't you just take off early, hmm? You're going to read one of your inspirational Christmas fables again, aren't you? Yes, I am.
Be a lot easier without you sitting over there sticking your finger in your throat.
Right.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Roz.
Say "Hi" to Frederick.
Yes, and say "Hi" to your mom for me.
Will do.
Hi, we're back.
As most of my faithful listeners know, every year I compose a parable that I hope will illuminate the spirit of the Christmas season.
So without any further ado, I give you "The Story of Olaf, the lonely little goatherd.
" "Once upon a time, there lived a lonely little goatherd.
He had no family, and no playthings, so to amuse himself, one day he carved a little wooden flute.
" "A flute that he used to play during the long, lonely evenings.
And the tune it made was very lovely, and all the people in the village below could hear the pure, glorious sound" This is all very amusing, but nothing you can do is going to distract me! "One day, the son of a wealthy merchant heard the music, and while that boy had all the toys in the world, he was jealous of this little goatherd's flute.
" "So one dark- night, one dark- -windy night" "The merchant's son stole his precious instrument, but when he took that flute home, he couldn't make it play.
So he smashed the flute to bits.
" "When the little goatherd came down the mountain the next day, and saw his flute was broken" YIKES! "He might have said that" "But instead he forgave the merchant's son.
And the wealthy merchant adopted the little goatherd, and" OH, MAMA! ?" he said, upon meeting the merchant's wife "And somewhere along the way, he learned the true meaning of Christmas.
" This is Dr.
Frasier Crane, wishing you a truly blessed and forgiving holiday.
There now, you see? Nice try.
Miss Kane's delightful performance aside, this just proves the power of my message cannot be stayed.
Oh for God's sakes, what am I, a robot? And to all a good night.
IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN Hi, Dad.
Ah, I'm going to put this wreath up here.
What's the matter with Rudolph? Well Dad, you know, I just think that Christmas decorations should be understated and tasteful.
