    Beyond the Pale

    What a marvelous episode. Roger Rees who was phenomenal in Nicholas Nickleby on Broadway, plays Robin Colcord. He is a rich investor who has taken a shine to Rebecca. They go jetting around the country. He gives her clothes and expensive gifts. Meanwhile, Sam is having dreams about her and seeking a way to crack through her veneer. There are so many hilarious lines here and some of the most amazing visuals. Early one when Rebecca peels off her face and Al's is underneath. This is such good stuff. The blocking and craziness in Rebecca's office is remarkable.

    • Quotes

      Dr. Frasier Crane: So Sam, do you remember anything else about the dream?

      Sam Malone: No, that was the eeriest thing. I mean it was real, it was vivid, like you, like real life.

      Carla LeBec: Sammy, that's a premonition dream. That means it's really going to happen.

      Dr. Frasier Crane: Oh Carla, that's an old wives' tale.

      Carla LeBec: I'm an old wife.
