Scene 1:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER AND KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: "It is a citizen's right and responsibility to vote in all elections. Prior to the election" --
[ phone rings ]
>> Simon: Don't answer it.
>> Katie: You know I can't do that.
>> Simon: No, no, no, I know the Bill of Rights. Answering that would be cruel and unusual punishment. Look --
[ phone rings ]
>> Katie: Hello?
>> Jack: Hey, Katie, it's Jack. Listen, you guys home for a while? I'd like to drop by.
>> Katie: Yeah. What's going on?
>> Jack: I have some questions about your partner.
>> Katie: Henry? What did he do?
>> Jack: Well, I'll give you the details when I get there. It's nothing serious. I just think that Henry's trying to pull something on a friend of mine.
>> Katie: Well, we'll do our best to help you. See you soon.

Scene 2:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, JACK SNYDER

>> Jack: Well, I know you guys were at Java Underground last night, because I saw you. But what -- thank you very much -- what I don't think you saw was Mike Kasnoff almost coming to blows with Henry. Now, luckily, I was there before he got the chance, but -- I asked Mike what happened, and he gave me this excuse, one I really didn't totally buy. And I would have let it go at that. But I've come to know Mike Kasnoff. He's a good guy. Even-tempered. He wouldn't have gone at Henry if he didn't have a reason. I was wondering if you guys knew something about that.
>> Simon: No, nothing offhand, really. I mean, Henry does seem to be dressing better these days, and toasting women like that redhead at Java Underground last night, and he does seem to be throwing around a lot more money. I don't know what you can do with that, but --
>> Katie: I do. He's a double-crossing blackmailer. I called him off once, and then all of a -- oh, you know what? I have him confused with someone else.
>> Simon: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Called him off who? Called him off doing what?
>> Katie: Nothing. No one. Actually, he was just annoying this person I know.
>> Jack: Well, this person -- give me a name.

Scene 3:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, JACK SNYDER

>> Katie: All right, just give me a minute. I know it'll come to me. All right. I told Henry to stop putting the squeeze on -- someone. I can't remember! Isn't this strange? I always remember.
>> Simon: "Strange" is the word.
>> Jack: Just give me a call if this person's name comes back to you.
>> Simon: I know how to clear this all up now. Why don't we give Henry a call?
>> Katie: No, no, no. Bad idea, Simon.
>> Simon: Why?
>> Katie: Because -- if we flat-out ask him, he's not gonna tell us anything. We will have blown our cover, and we'll never get anything out of him.
>> Simon: Huh. Yeah. Watch! Henry -- speed-dial number six. All right. Henry? Simon. How are you? Really? Oh, that's not good. Hey, listen, mate. Katie and I were wanting to discuss a few business strategies with you. Why don't you come over for dinner tonight, and we can do it here? You're free? Really, no dates? No women? Terrific! All right, Henry. We'll see you tonight. Bye. So -- if Henry knows anything, I'm sure he'll spill it over dinner. >> Jack: Oh, well, listen, I don't want you to torture the guy. Just try to get a sense of what's going on between him and Mike Kasnoff.
>> Simon: I'll let you know as soon as he leaves.
>> Jack: Thanks. Hey, listen, Katie, I'm sorry about your memory. You should try cleaning out the garage.
>> Katie: I beg your pardon?
>> Jack: It frees the mind. Helps those runaway thoughts come back in.
>> Katie: I'll do that. Thank you.
[ Jack laughs ]
>> Jack: All right. Hey, listen, guys, I suppose I don't have to tell you that this visit was unofficial.
>> Simon: What visit?
>> Jack: Exactly. I'll speak to you soon.
>> Katie: That idea he had about cleaning out the garage is fabulous. I'm gonna try that right now --
>> Simon: Listen, you know who Henry's blackmailing, and you know the reason why.
>> Katie: Well, it doesn't matter, Simon. 'Cause I'm not gonna tell you.
>> Simon: You wanna bet?

Scene 4:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Simon: All right, you don't have to tell me who Henry's blackmailing directly. I'm just gonna throw a few names out there, and you can nod --
>> Katie: I don't wanna play this, okay? Can we please just change the subject?
>> Simon: All right, we'll change the subject. How did you get involved in this?
[ Katie sighs ]
>> Katie: All right. This person wanted to get Henry to back off. So this person came to me, and -- I know -- don't think I don't know what you're trying to do.
>> Simon: What -- what am I doing?
>> Katie: You're trying to get me to slip up so I tell you the name, which I'm not gonna do!
>> Simon: Oh, I'm sorry. Just thought you trusted me. That's all. I'm gonna get a cup of tea. I'll just put the water on.
>> Katie: No -- Simon, please, don't do this. You know I trust you more than anyone.
>> Simon: Fine. Whatever. Do you want herbal? Camomile? Peppermint?
>> Katie: You're angry with me, aren't you?
>> Simon: Aw, why would I be angry --
>> Katie: Oh, stop. Okay, fine, I'll tell you! But just remember Craig was not the guy.
>> Simon: Which guy?
>> Katie: I should not have said that.
>> Simon: All right, Katie. Honey, it's time for you to start at the beginning.
[ Katie sighs ]
>> Katie: Okay. You were here when this person came over. Remember? I said that we were gonna have girl talk, and then you said --
>> Simon: Wait. It was Carly?
>> Katie: Yes. Which is why I freaked out when Jack came over here. 'Cause he can't find out, Simon. Never. Never, ever, ever.
