Plot outline

Frasier receives a phonecall during his show at KACL from Woody Boyd, an old friend from "Cheers", who has just arrived in Seattle for the week. Frasier suggests they have dinner and catch up, and decides to keep it simple: takeaway pizza and beer at his apartment. He and Woody have a most enjoyable evening exchanging stories from the old days, and at the end Frasier suggests lunch the next day at a Mexican place. When he returns from that, he privately admits to Martin that he is no longer enjoying spending time with Woody, since they have nothing in common except a few old stories. However, he cannot bring himself to hurt his friend's feelings, so continues to meet up with him. After one particularly grim evening spent with Woody, Gil and Noel at a karaoke bar, he decides that he can take no more, but his luck seems to have changed when Woody suddenly knocks on his door and says he is leaving town right away. Frasier bids him farewell, then goes out with Niles for a late supper to celebrate. Once at the cantina, he has a shock when he spots Woody hiding behind a menu at the bar…

Memorable Quotations

"Frasier introduces Woody to Daphne"
Woody: I like your accent. Ah, you're from England, right?
Daphne: Manchester.
Woody: Darn! I'm usually pretty good at that.

"Frasier returns from a terrible evening at the karaoke bar"
Frasier: For starters, Woody sang “What Kind of Fool Am I?” Quickly turned into an audience participation number. Then Gil and Noel did a charming duet with “Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better”. They were both wrong.

"Woody has announced he has to leave Seattle ahead of schedule, having learned that his daughter has an ear infection"
Frasier: Goodbye, Woods. "(closes the door)" God bless the virus that invaded that little girl's ear canal!
