Let me have a tall skinny to go, please, and you can keep the change.
Now, I've only got a moment.
I've taken on a very exciting project.
- Oh, really.
FRASIER: Yes.
You know, this is KACL's 50th anniversary.
I did a little research, found out that they used to specialize in live radio dramas.
So I'm putting one on.
- Surely you must remember them.
- Oh, sure.
Yes, people of Dad's generation would sit around at night, listening to the radio, absolutely mesmerized.
We were a simple people.
FRASIER: All right, Dad.
I spoke with the station manager.
He's given me 30 minutes to re-create the very first mystery KACL ever aired.
- "Nightmare Inn.
" - Oh, don't tell me, I know.
Bunch of people get caught in a storm, and everybody's wondering who's gonna be the first one murdered.
- Exactly! And I'm going to direct.
- Oh, so we can stop wondering.
You don't think he knows how to direct? No, the trouble is he doesn't know how to stop directing.
In our prep school production of Richard III, he drove the entire cast crazy with his constant critiquing.
I seem to recall a delay on opening night while our Richard chased Frasier around the dressing room, beating him with his hump.
Niles, it was just a little backstage horseplay to relieve tension.
- Thank you.
- You have an Orson Welles complex.
In the end, you'll be directing, you'll have rewritten the script and be playing the lead.
I have no intention of performing in it myself.
The only rewriting I've done is simply cutting, to get it down to 30 minutes.
- "Frasier Crane's Nightmare Inn"? - It's just a working title.
Well, that's our show for today, but let me remind you to tune in on Saturday night for KACL's presentation of "Nightmare Inn.
" Just set your dials for goose bumps.
Till then, this is Dr Frasier Crane reminding you that you'll never know what's lurking in the shadows.
[LAUGHING] Well, that should certainly comfort the woman who called in about her paranoia.
- Do we have a leading man yet? - No.
- Well, you could do it.
- Oh, don't be silly, Roz.
My God, it is a juicy part, does call for a strong voice, - but believe me, my hands are full.
- Oh, Frasier, I've had a quick peek at your script, and I think I'd be perfect as "Bull" Kragen, the brutish gamekeeper.
You know, Gil, I think that's just a bit too on the nose.
- Well, maybe.
- But you know what you could play? Yes.
Nigel Fairservice.
Drummed out of the Royal Air Force under mysterious circumstances.
With him playing it, they may not seem so mysterious.
I'll take it.
After all, Nigel does have that divine speech in the second act about his boyhood in Surrey: "Romping with his school chums in the fens and spinneys, when the twilight bathed the hedgerows like a lambent flame.
" Actually, I had rather a long peek at the script.
Gosh, we still have a lot of these supporting roles to cast.
Actually, I'm working on that.
Jennifer down in Accounting is married to a professional actor who specializes in dialects.
I'm thinking of asking him to play six or seven smaller parts.
Hey, doc.
Need one more for your play? Absolutely, Bulldog.
Just as long as you promise - to promote it on your show.
- Actually, I wasn't talking about me.
I was talking about a friend of mine, Maxine.
- Does she have experience? BULLDOG: Are you kidding? If she had a dollar for every minute she spent on stage Oh, wait a minute.
She does.
Well, we do still have the part of the maid.
She only has one line.
- Does it have any big words? - No, it's simple.
"Look out! He's got a gun.
" Maxine could knock that line right out of the park.
Well, okay, but you have to agree to play a part too.
We still need someone for the sinister silk merchant.
Okay, it's a deal.
And Maxine is gonna be so excited.
I gotta remember to pick her up one of those cute French maid outfits - on my way home from work.
- It's radio.
- She doesn't have to be in costume.
- Maybe here she doesn't.
- Well, we're getting there.
- Except for the lead.
I haven't found anyone remotely qualified to play a wily old Scotland Yard inspector.
You may be right.
I may have to bite the bullet.
- Take on the part myself.
IAN: Excuse me, Dr Crane.
Is it too late to read for the role of the inspector? I'm afraid the part has already been cast.
[DOORBELL CHIMES] DAPHNE: Come on in.
- Hi, Daphne.
GIL: Hello.
FRASIER: Bulldog, Gil.
Right on time, good.
We have to be on our toes tonight, we have a professional actor with us.
Mel White, - our man of a thousand voices.
- Oh, it's a huge pleasure.
Mel is going to play Hans, the German butler, both McCallister sisters, and Peppo the dwarf, "a little man with a big secret.
" The same guy's playing all those parts? Yes, he's also playing "Bull" Kragen, the gamekeeper, and O'Toole, the handyman.
Are you up to it? Just so they don't all talk at once.
[FRASIER LAUGHING] Isn't it lovely to be working with a professional? - Hold it.
Bulldog, where's Maxine? - She's home with food poisoning.
It's nothing serious.
I think she just wrestled in some bad Jell-O.
Well, never mind.
She just has one line, anyway.
"Look out! He's got a gun.
" You think you You might be up to that this evening, Daphne? - Oh, I'll try.
FRASIER: Good.
