- [on a hotel balcony, Niles having asked Daphne to run away with him]
- Niles: The stars are out. Lovely breeze. Night blooming jasmine. And, of course, there's the beautiful girl...
- Daphne: Dr. Crane, I haven't answered your question yet.
- Niles: I know. That's why I keep talking. Then, in case I don't get the answer I want, I can at least make this moment last a little longer.
- Niles: [has just found out that Daphne is in love with him] I was just talking to Frasier about a conversation you two had.
- Daphne: Oh, dear!
- Niles: No, no. Don't get upset.
- Daphne: I specifically asked him not to say anything. What was he thinking?
- Niles: No, I'm glad he told me.
- Daphne: Oh, yes! So we can have a big talk about it! That's what you psychiatrists always do, drag everything out into the open so we can work through it. No matter how awkward it might be. Well, I just don't see the point!
- Niles: No, Daphne, I'm glad he told me - because I love you.
- Niles: What in the world was so urgent that you brought me all the way up here?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Niles, just sit down. There's something I need to discuss with you.
- [Frasier and Niles sit down on the two beds in the hotel room, facing each other]
- Dr. Frasier Crane: I was watching you on the dance floor just now, and the look in your eyes was unmistakable.
- Niles: Well, can you blame me? Mel's quite the little dancer. Of course her vertigo rules out any serious twirling, but...
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Niles, I'm talking about Daphne. The way you were looking at her... well, it just breaks my heart.
- Niles: Frasier, it was one thing when you were beating this drum the other day, but I'm married now. What's it going to take to convince you that I am over her?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: She knows.
- Niles: [shocked] What?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Daphne knows that you have feelings for her. She's known for some time.
- Niles: How?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Well, it's a long story. but... I think Roz said something. Anyway, she knows!
- Niles: I knew you thought my marriage to Mel was hasty, but to poison it like this...
- [Niles gets up and heads for the door]
- Niles: I'm not going to listen to this.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: [standing up] Niles, Daphne feels the same way about you!
- [Niles freezes in his tracks and slowly turns around to face Frasier]
- Dr. Frasier Crane: At least I think she does. She told me as much the other day and then she denied it once you got married. But I saw the way she was looking at you downstairs just now.
- Niles: [stunned] Oh, my God.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Niles, I'm not in the habit of breaking up people's marriages. But how could I not tell you? You're my brother, I love you.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Daphne, I wanted you to know that I am just completely devastated by what happened.
- Daphne: It's all right, Dr. Crane.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: It's just that when I advised you to have a chat with Niles, I had no idea that he'd run off and get married.
- Daphne: I know you're concerned for me, but I'm fine. I thought about it all last night and I realize that what I was feeling was just wedding jitters. I do love your brother, but I'm in love with Donny.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: You're not just putting on a brave face?
- Daphne: No. I'm a bit embarrassed now, making you worry for no reason...
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh, it's all right, Daphne. It's what I do
- Daphne: You've always been such a wonderful friend. In fact,
- [takes the '45 Petrus out of her bag]
- Daphne: I brought this for the honeymoon, but I'd like you to have it.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh, Daphne, I couldn't.
- Daphne: No, Donny and I aren't wine drinkers.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: I wouldn't dream of it, really.
- Daphne: All right then, I'll keep it.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh, now I've hurt your feelings. Here...
- [Frasier takes the wine bottle as he and Daphne laugh]
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh gosh, Daphne. I tell you what: I promise that when I do drink this, I'll be thinking of you.
- Daphne: Oh, come here.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh, Daph...
- [Frasier and Daphne hug]
- Daphne: [Niles has just told her he loves her] Dr. Crane, you shouldn't say such things.
- Niles: It's the truth. Lord knows, I have tried to deny it, tried to pretend that I am over you, but not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. Your smile, your beautiful eyes, what it would be like to hold your hands and ask you the question I never dared ask!
- Donny Douglas: [entering suddenly] What's the difference between a blister and a boil?
- Daphne: [Simon bursts into the hotel room, interrupting an intense conversation between Niles and Daphne] Simon, how did you get in here?
- Simon Moon: Frasier loaned me his key, in a manner of speaking. I have to get some things out of the mini bar. I don't want to get caught empty-handed when last call comes.
- [looks at Daphne and Niles]
- Simon Moon: You're not having a last call of your own in here, are you Stilts?
- Daphne: I don't understand! How come you never said anything before?
- Niles: Daphne, I wanted to. I just... the timing just never seemed right.
- Daphne: Oh, and the timing's right now? I'm twelve hours from the altar and you're on your honeymoon!
- Niles: I would never have gotten married if I thought there was the slightest chance that you shared my feelings. Trust me, Daphne, say the word and I will leave Mel in a heartbeat.
- [Niles is sitting in the driver's seat of the Winnebago, looking very dejected. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door]
- Niles: Come in.
- [the door opens to reveal Daphne, dressed in her wedding gown]
- Daphne: Hello.
- Niles: [standing up] Daphne...
- Daphne: I was wondering... if you might be free for a date?
- Niles: [euphoric] Oh, my God, yes!
- [they embrace]
- Daphne: There's plenty of time for that later. Let's get this bloody boat moving!
- [Daphne heads for the passenger seat as Niles helps her with the skirts and train of her wedding dress]
- Niles: What, you mean now?
- Daphne: There's about a hundred people back there I'm not so keen on seeing.
- Niles: [still giddy] Well, all right, let's go then.
- Martin Crane: [joining Frasier at the bar] Hey, Fras. Had enough?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh, yeah. I think I hit my limit when, in the middle of my toast I looked down and there was a man chewing on my boutonniere
- Martin Crane: Ah, God, it's been a hell of a week. I STILL can't get over Niles and Mel.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Didn't see that one coming.
- Martin Crane: Well, at least he say she makes him happy. So, there's nothin' you can do about it, right?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Actually...
- Martin Crane: Fras! Don't even think about trying to talk him out of it. He's married, end of story.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: It's really not that simple Dad. You see... Ah, I shouldn't be talking to you about this.
- Martin Crane: Is this about Daphne?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Why do you say that?
- Martin Crane: Oh, come on. I've got eyes, I know something's going on. I've seen the way she's been looking at him.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: She found out how Niles has felt about her all these years.
- Martin Crane: You're kidding! How'd she find out?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: That's not important right now, Dad. The problem is that she told me she thinks she might have the same feelings for him.
- Martin Crane: Oh, geez...
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Of course, then Niles shows up married, now she says it's just jitters.
- Martin Crane: Well, you can't tell Niles all this, he says he's happy with Mel.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: She says she's happy with Donny. But I'm not sure I believe either one of them.
- Martin Crane: Just remember Fras, there are two marriages on the line here. So, before you get involved, you better make damn sure you know what you're doing.
- Niles: What is this?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Well, I got to thinking about our old friend Morrie and how he kept this bottle of wine his entire life, waiting for a special occasion. And then I thought, "What occasion am I saving it for?" And then I thought about what a courageous thing you did last night, taking that chance. And that's worth a toast.
- [He starts to open the wine]
- Donny Douglas: Anybody else want something from the bar?
- [to the bartender]
- Donny Douglas: Uh, Scotch, rocks.
- Daphne: Donny, it's barely noon!
- Donny Douglas: Isn't that when your mom said she'd be here?
- Daphne: Give him a double.
