Plot outline

Frasier and Niles are planning an expensive meal out to celebrate a new investment, and are rather surprised when their father invites them for a drink at Duke's, Martin's long-time bar hangout where even their late mother never ventured. Unable to make sense of the invitation, and castigated by Daphne for being too analytical about it, they decide to treat it just as a kind gesture (even an honour) and accept. They find the place very friendly, even though everyone there seems to know all about Frasier's marital difficulties. Both brothers are subsequently horrified to learn that they are investors in a group which is about to demolish the place – and terrified of what their father will say when he finds out.

Episode Title Cards

*"Scent of a Woman"
*"Where nobody knows their names"
*"Sleepless in Seattle (you knew we had to do it eventually)"

Memorable Quotations

"Daphne is dressed up for a date, and is testing her perfume when Niles arrives"
Niles: "(sniffs around Daphne)" Is that “Forbidden”?
Frasier: In every sense of the word!

"Martin reveals the truth about MeadowWood Properties' demolition plans while proposing a toast, prompting his sons to down their boilermakers"
Martin: To Duke's!
Regulars: To Duke's!
Frasier: "(to Duke)" Two more!

Trivia

*One of the titlecards ("Where nobody knows their names") is an obvious reference to the Cheers intro, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name".
*At the end of the episode when Niles says he is planning on stopping the demolition, he claims it is not just for Duke's but for all the other small bars of the world, mentioning Moe's in reference to the local bar in Springfield on "The Simpsons".
