Martin, Frasier and others in “Author, Author”

Martin

[To Frasier] Frasier, isn't there something you wanna say to your brother?

Frasier

Yes, Dad, I– I suppose there is. [To his brother] Niles, would you like a muffin? [Offers his brother a muffin on a plate. Niles becomes confused]

Martin

[To Frasier] [Angrily] Frasier!

Frasier

[Gives in] All right! [Puts the muffin on the plate back on the table. After a moment, he stands up] [To his brother] Niles– I'm sorry things didn't work out with the book. You have no reason to feel inferior to me. You're an accomplished psychiatrist, a decent man– and you stand second to no one.

Niles

Thank you, Frasier. [Stands up] The truth is, I've always looked up to you and– admired you.

Martin

[To his sons] All right, enough of this mushy girly stuff. Just shake hands, punch each other on the shoulder, and be done with it.

Frasier

[To his brother] Oh, what the heck.

Martin

[To himself] [Upset] Oh, geez!
