Recap / Frasier S 02 E 05 Dukes We Hardly Knew Ye

Go To

Frasier and Niles soon find out that they've been investing in the destruction of their father's favorite bar after Martin invites them over for a drink.


Tropes:

  • Diet Episode: Parodied. Roz claims that she went through a diet and wants to each some chocolate from the KACL vending machine.
  • Let Me Get This Straight...:
    Martin: Let me see if I got this right: in the last year, you give my chair away, you lose my dog, and now you demolish my bar. What's next? I'm gonna find out you're the one who shot me in the hip?
  • Noodle Incident:
    Roz: The way I see it, your situation is like a woman who has one crazy night and cheats on her boyfriend. And the only reason for this woman to confess is to make herself feel better. So, the best thing she can do is just keep her mouth shut. Unless, of course, her boyfriend walks in on her and the other guy because he decides to come home from Portland on the midnight flight instead of driving back like he said he would, so in that case, he's the liar and why should she feel bad?!
  • Stealth Insult: Roz gives one to Niles after he claims that he's making the investment as a way to improve his masculinity.
    Roz: Oh, come on, Frasier, show some understanding. Maris uses her money to emasculate the poor guy, and this is his pathetic attempt to stop feeling like a financial eunuch and regain some shred of his former manhood. Such as it was.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Martin launches this once Frasier confesses that he and Niles have been unknowingly advocating the destruction of Duke's.
  • Wolf Whistle: Martin does this when Daphne appears in a skimpy dress.
