Fraiser has brought in Dr. Nora's mother to reconcile and to end their war as Roz shows Mrs. Mulhern in. Frasier lowers the receiver so Nora doesn't hear him say:
Mrs. Mulhern. [Mrs. Mulhern goes into the radio booth and stands behind Nora].
You little whore! [Four sets of jaws drop — Frasier's, Roz's, George's and Nora's].
MOTHER!
So, you thought you could get away from me, did you? Thought you could leave me to rot in that dump without barely enough cash for a bottle of Mateus! You'll pay for that, missy!
[jumping for joy] I was wrong, Frasier! Your way is better! [Frasier tries to enter the booth].
Mrs. Mulhern— [She shoves him out and locks the door].
Keep out of this!
Mother, please! I am doing my show!
Yes, you're Little Miss Perfect now, aren't you? Telling everybody else how wicked they are! They should hear about your past! [Frasier tries to enter through the other door].
Mrs. Mulhern, please! [She shoves him out and locks the other door].
The shame you brought on me, you ungrateful tramp!
[crying] Mother, please, I'm a good girl now.
How you were paid — paid! — to leave town, by that nice boy's family.
For God's sake, Nora, go to a commercial!
There, Seattle, now you know what I mean when I say there are some people you just don't need in your life! [goes to commercial] Help me out, George! [She throws off her headphones and rushes into the producer's booth].
What are they paying you here? I want my cut! [George closes the door and fights to hold it shut].
I knew that you hated me, but I just can't believe you could be so cruel!
I was trying to help! She seemed delightful on the phone!
[knocking on the glass] I want fifty dollars right now!
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO MOVE BEFORE I'M FINALLY RID OF HER?! [She runs out into the hallway. Mrs. Mulhern goes out the other door to head her off].
[yelling after her] Nora, I'm sorry!
[yelling after her] You owe me, missy! I gave you life! [Nora screams like a madwoman while George runs out after them]].
Frasier, we've got dead air! [Frasier goes into the radio booth while Roz shuts the doors and grabs some carts]
[hits "On Air"] Hello, this is Dr. Frasier Crane. I'm sure Dr. Nora's listeners join me in hoping she and her mother can resolve these differences very soon. They're off to a bit of a bumpy start. [Nora screams again as the chase takes them by the booth].
But at least the lines of communication are open.
[Another scream comes, louder and clearly audible over the air. Frasier can only gape at Roz].
