Act One.

Scene A: The Frasier Residence, early morning.
Frasier enters wearing a dressing gown. He is obviously still half-
asleep. Martin is in the kitchen and Daphne is busy cleaning the
dining table. Frasier yawns.

Daphne: Oh, good morning, Dr. Crane. Not a morning person, are we?
Well, never you mind. I am. Can't very well be a good health
care provider if you're not up with the cock. I've already
taken your father for his morning constitutional. Such a
rеmarkable man - thirty years on the policе force. I can
understand why you'd want him to live here, although not many
sons would do that, not without getting paid for it. Anyway,
coffee's made, and I took the liberty of doing a shop. They
don't serve much tripe in Seattle, do they?
Frasier: [still groggy] And you are...?
Daphne: Daphne. Daphne Moon. I moved in yesterday. You hired me to take
care of your father.
Frasier: [realizing] Of course. Forgive me, I'm not quite myself until
I've shaved and showered.
Daphne: Oh, yes. I completely understand about one's morning ablutions.
I, for instance, can't stand myself 'til I floss all that gunk
out of my teeth...
Frasier: [interrupting] Miss Moon! For future reference, if you could
just keep your ablutions on a need-to-know basis? Thank you.
[goes into kitchen] Now, my coffee.
Martin: [doing a fry-up] The half 'n half's curdled, and the garbage
disposal's jammed.
Frasier: [pouring his coffee] Good morning to you too, dad.
Martin: Morning was two hours ago. And close that barn door, we got
a lady in the house now.
