Let’s write an episode of Frasier, one line at a time! Sorry for the delay everyone! Life suggested I throw a birthday party last night instead. As such, I’m going to move up the time for the next line selection. Make sure to check below!

Rules to start:

  1. We’ll add 1 new line each day
  2. Top comment will get added to the scene!
  3. Lines can include: a. A spoken line by a character (or perhaps a short exchange between a few characters to speed things up) b. A stage direction c. Relevant scene details

The next line will be decided Tuesday, July 4 at 10:00am EST.

After a surprise snowstorm, Seattle is snowed in! Niles has separated from Maris and is spending some time at his brother’s apartment for company. He and Frasier are in the kitchen, Martin and Eddie are watching TV, and Daphne is doing a puzzle at the table.

There is a knock at the door…

Martin “Daphne, would you mind getting that?”

Daphne “Hold on, hold on. I’ve just about put the London Bridge back together.”

Daphne places another piece of her puzzle then scurries to answer door

Lilith, damp from the snow, enters. Frasier and Niles emerge from the kitchen

Frasier “Lilith! What are you doing here?"

Niles “Well this explains the cold front.”

Audience laughs

Lilith “As much as I’d like to return with a clever quip back to you Niles, I’m here on serious business. Frasier, it’s about our son.”

Fraiser “Freddy? Has he been hurt? Oh, I knew that sending him to Sonnet Camp over Christmas break was asking for trouble!”

Lilith “No, Frasier. This problem is much worse. Fredrick insists that he is not going to college.”

Martin “Well, nothing wrong with that. I never went to college, and look how I turned out.”

Fraiser frantically “Sherry, Niles?!”

    Frasier: [Nervously pouring drinks for Lilith, himself, and a visibly devastated, nearly catatonic Niles] Dear god, but Frederick has always had academic aspirations. Remember when he was six years old and he wanted to dress as Archimedes for Halloween? What on earth could he possibly wish to pursue now?

    Lilith: He wants to be a rapper.

    Niles: [visibly confused] He wants to work at the mall?

    Martin: Now I’m serious. There’s lots of jobs you don’t need college for, like a baseball player or a construction worker or a…

    Lilith: A tech entrepreneur

    Frasier (horrified): A tech entrepreneur?

    Lilith: Yes, Frasier. He’s developed an app that catalogues the exhibits in the Esmerelda Bing International Doll Museum and he says it’s “a billion dollar idea.”
