It's yet another brilliant Frasier moment where the writers take several unconnected things and introduce them one at a time, but then suddenly (to our delight) all elements combine in a crescendo of hilarity. A flashing neon sign, a choral rehearsal, some bathroom steam, a black negligee .... perfect. And the number on the door is the cherry on the sundae.
Bebe Glaser BB = a small projectile fired from an air rifle. Glaser = a brand of ammunition that fragments so as to have maximum effect. So BB Glaser = a small shot that has the impact of a big shot.
Totally agree. She was brilliant.. and also one of my fav characters on Frasier. The episode where she is negotiating his contract and keeping him on pins is hilarious.
There just wasn't enough of Bebe on the show and yet somehow it was the perfect amount. Always leave em wanting more. She really was one of the best fictional tv characters of all time.
I love how her character was SO melodramatic. The way she greeted him at the door, the way she closed the drapes, that unusual accent. Love her so much
Same here. And once in a while if Bebe didn't like something she would shrink back suddenly like Dracula seeing a cross. And the voice ... something like a Transatlantic accent or 1940's Hollywood, really nice.
Bebe's character was actually named after the Bebe Neuwirth, the actress who played Lilith. And "Lilith" is a demonic figure in Judeo-Christian mythology. 🙂
Harriet Sansom Harris, as Bebe Glazer, is a great actress! She was also very good, as neighbor Felicia Tilman, in "Desperate Housewives." There is something very interesting and captivating about her.. and it's always a pleasure to see her act-
WHY ON EARTH hasn't anyone given Harriet Sansom her own series? Bebe could have made a somewhat darker version of Murphy Brown. With great writers (ALWAYS a prerequisite) and a proper supporting cast, it could be great.
She was always the best supporting character on this show. There was a line, possibly later on in this same episode, where somebody says to Frasier about Bebe, "it's not like she worships the devil or something." To which he replies, "of course not! He worships her!"
My fave is the crane called Frasier episode. When Frasier asked if she killed it "Is there any chance it wasn't you?" "Oh darling, theres always a chance"
My favorite was Niles' response to Frasier saying he couldn't get hold of her: "I thought all you had to do was draw a pentagram on the floor and say her name three times."
Renegotiating his contract with the KACL, they end up in bed together, and Niles is visiting the following monring and twigs immediately when Bebe opens the door. Fraiser tells Niles that they were just celebrating the success of their negotiation. Niles: "Paid your commission up front, I see," and, "It's okay. I'm just glad you're alright. I'd assumed she killed after mating." 🤣🤣
My husband and I are rewatching Fraiser during quarantine and I remembered this scene distinctly. I've been SEARCHING 11 seasons for this, so THANK YOU for uploading it!
This has got to be one of the most brilliant & hilarious moments from the entire seies. Both this scene, and in the rising bed with Nanny G, had me laughing so hard I was crying.
I loved the episode where she had to give up smoking if she wanted to marry that rich Texas oil tycoon.... Brilliant writing, brilliant acting from all involved... she's a hoot and a great comedic actress...
This may be one of the cleverest scenes of all time. The “666” at the end clinches it as the cherry on top of the dessert (devil’s food cake, I presume).
I almost stopped watching the show because of her character. It's amazing how people can think so differently. I thank God that she was only in a handful of episodes. =)
The 666 on the door was a good gag lol. I like how the number was concealed when she first let him in as it would've spoiled the joke. Also the red light outside the window and the choir singing was a nice touch too lol.
This my favorite clip from Frasier. BeBe was a great asset. This was so funny. Harriet S. Harris was awesome. The red colors, the 666 on the door, the whole thing, just wonderful, very clever.
[Soft singing can be heard. There is a knock at the door and Bebe answers it.] Bebe: Frasier, come in. [He enters.] Frasier: How did you know it was me? Bebe: I felt a certain tingle in the knob. Frasier: Indeed. Well, I see Phil has landed you in the lap of luxury. Bebe: Yes, it's a lovely suite. Unfortunately, there's some sort of choir championship this weekend and they practice at all hours. [She closes the drapes.] Frasier: Is it Madrigal Madness already? I had no idea it was this close to Whitsun. Bebe: Please, darling, sit. I'll pour the champagne. [Frasier sits down.] Frasier: I suppose a drop wouldn't hurt. So, you give any thought to taking me on again? Bebe: Yes I have. And I have to say there's almost nothing I'd enjoy more. Frasier: Wonderful. [She hands him his champagne.] Bebe: But first, let's talk about what I'd enjoy more. Frasier: You want more than ten percent? Bebe: I want you. And "yes" to the other thing. Frasier: Gosh, Bebe. I'm terribly flattered, it's just that, uh... Bebe: Frasier, a few years ago I let down my guard and succumbed to your advances. Frasier: You seduced ME! Bebe: It changed me, Frasier. If I crave your touch again, you've only yourself to blame. Frasier: I'm not going to say that you're not a beautiful woman, but is it wise for us to jump into a relationship? [She starts running her hands over him.] Bebe: I'm only talking about having a little fun. After all, when I'm having fun, I'm happy. When I'm happy, I work harder. When I work harder, you become famous and rich and powerful. That's what you want, isn't it? Fame and power? Frasier: I, I like to think of it more as influence, really, but... Bebe: I'll bet I can make you bigger than Dr. Phil! Frasier: Is that running water I hear? [She walks across the room and poses in a doorway.] Bebe: Yes, I'm steaming the wrinkles out of a dress. Does it put you in mind of a tropic night? A moonlit stroll, the rhythmic lapping of waves against the shore... Frasier: You know, if it's silk the steam could damage it. Bebe: Wait right here. Frasier: Gosh, I better open a window. [She heads into the bedroom.] Bebe: Yes, darling, let the night in while I slip into something a little more comfortable. [Frasier opens the drapes, letting in a flashing red light.] Frasier: Well, if you want comfortable, how about that sweater ensemble I saw you in this morning. [He opens the window and the choir music grows louder, a low, somewhat ominous Gregorian chant. Bebe comes in from the other room, dressed in a black nightgown, the steam billowing up behind her.] Frasier: Bebe... Bebe: Join me, Frasier. I'll make your dreams come true. Frasier: But... at what cost? Bebe: What I'm offering you is priceless. Come, Frasier. [She beckons him with her finger and he steps into the bedroom, entranced.] Frasier: I CAN'T! [He runs for the door, making panicked noises. He pulls the door open, reels upon seeing that he's in Suite 666, then rushes out. Fade out.]
OMG!! This is my all time favorite scene from the Frasier series. I have alot of favorites, but this is #1. When Frasier opens the door to run out the numbers are 666. What a scream. So funny, such a great scene. Loved it!! 😍 great acting!!
Love from Romania, Bebe. Every episode in which you appear is special. You are a fabulous actress. The entire team of this show was out of this world, but you, Frase and Niles, are the brightest 🌟s. ❤ from 🇷🇴.
Still think one of the best ever episodes of Frasier was when Bebe was renegotiating his contract. She greets Frasier wearing one of his shorts in the morning, Martin is laughing at Frasier, Nikes walks in knows exactly what happened the previous night, and Bebe says, “it wasn’t so much sex, as Naked Roman-Greco wrestling on a Trampoline” Still my favorite line from Frasier😁😁😁😁😁
