Wine-tasting at the wine club
I'm getting oak with plummy overtones.
I'm getting screwed on alimony.
(Walks in) Niles, I want to talk to you.
Dad! What happened, is there something wrong?
You're damn right there is, it's about you and Frasier! (notices) Good God, you wear a sash?!
Frasier sent you down here, didn't he?
(o.s. from above) No!
Frasier, get in here now!
Frasier shuffles in beside Niles. The following scene looks like a father dressing down two toddlers — a spectacle that both Frasier and Niles are desperate to avoid
Dad, this isn't necessary.
Yeah, we-we can talk about this some other time.
Zip it up, both of you! I just gave up the best meal of my life to come down here, so listen up. Niles, let your brother play.
Dad, this is not a game, this is a club, and Frasier broke the rules!
Technically, I-
Hold it! (To Niles) Well, then you write a new rule so that Frasier can come back.
First, I want an apology-
I said zip it!
He did, I heard him!
Don't get smart! Now, are you gonna let your brother play?
Dad-
Are you gonna let your brother play?
Why-
Are you gonna let your brother play?
I-
Are you gonna let your brother play?
(Gives in) Fine.
Am I gonna have any more trouble between you two?
(Humbly) No.
No, what?
No, sir.
Good. Now shake hands. (They do) That's more like it. Now if you don't mind, I've got a big plate of Gewürzplatzchen waiting for me at home with my name on it. (Leaves)
Uh, well, [chuckles] let's get back to the wine, shall we?
You got yelled at by your dad. (All the members laugh)
Well, be that as it may-
Zip it! (Everyone laughs louder)
