- Roz: Dr Crane, we have Claire on line four. She's having a problem getting over a relationship.
- Frasier: Hello, Claire. I'm listening.
- Claire: I'm a... well, I'm a mess! Eight months ago my boyfriend and I broke up, and I just can't get over it. The pain isn't going away. It's almost like I'm in mourning or something.
- Frasier: Claire, you are in mourning. But you're not mourning the loss of your boyfriend. You're mourning the loss of what you thought your life was going to be. Let it go. Things don't always work out how you planned; that's not necessarily bad. Things have a way of working out anyway... have you ever heard of Lupe Velez?
- [Frasier's single life has been upset by his father moving in with him]
- Roz: Ever heard of Lupe Velez?
- Frasier: Who?
- Roz: Lupe Velez, the movie star in the '30s. Well, her career hit the skids, so she decided she'd make one final stab at immortality. She figured if she couldn't be remembered for her movies, she'd be remembered for the way she died. And all Lupe wanted was to be remembered. So, she plans this lavish suicide - flowers, candles, silk sheets, white satin gown, full hair and makeup, the works. She takes the overdose of pills, lays on the bed, and imagines how beautiful she's going to look on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper. Unfortunately, the pills don't sit well with the enchilada combo plate she sadly chose as her last meal. She stumbles to the bathroom, trips and goes head-first into the toilet, and that's how they found her.
- Frasier: Is there a reason you're telling me this story?
- Roz: Yes. Even though things may not happen like we planned, they can work out anyway.
- Frasier: Remind me again how it worked for Lupe, last seen with her head in the toilet.
- Roz: All she wanted was to be remembered. Will you ever forget that story?
