Frasier Online Episode Guide -> Season 1 -> Episode 1.14

Can't Buy Me Love

One of Martin's friends is organising a bachelor auction, so he wants Frasier to ask if Bulldog will do it, and then says Frasier can also take part. The night comes and Roz 'buys' a lineback from the Seattle Seahawks, Frasier is bought by a model, Kristina, and a meal is arranged for them together at his apartment. Bulldog on the other hand is bought by a frightened looking Daphne who opened the bidding at $100 after prompting from Martin but he received no other bids. The night of Frasier's date arrives but Kristina has to go and do a last minute photo shoot and leaves Frasier to look after her teenage daughter, Renata. Daphne, on the other hand, is having a great time getting drunk in a limo with Bulldog until she gets him pulled out of it by calling someone who was honking their horn too loudly an idiot. Back at Frasier's, Renata starts to recant terrible tales about her mother and when Kristina arrives back, Frasier confronts her with these stories. Unfortunately, Frasier seems never to have heard of the word 'lie'....

- The opening scene where Bulldog humiliates Frasier.

Daphne: I always thought it would be fun to have a man to do my bidding and fulfill my every desire. [Offering champagne to Niles] Dr Crane?
Niles: I'd love to...

Frasier: That's my new owner - she's a model.
Bulldog: No kidding - she almost put my eye out.

- The look on Daphne's face as she comes to pay for Bulldog.

- Daphne and Bulldog in the limo, especially Bulldog getting pulled out of it.

Frasier: Child psychology is not my thing. My speciality is adult relations.
Kristina: Well, you won't be getting any of those tonight.

The bachelor auction organised by one of Martin's friends gives rise to two very funny scenarios: Frasier having to babysit his 'new owners' daughter, and Daphne getting very drunk in the back of a limo with Bulldog (or Pitbull as she calls him). Each has its's own fair share of good moments - I particularly liked Bulldog being pulled out of the limo almost horizontal, and the sight of Frasier eating raw cookie dough - adding up to what is another enjoyable Season 1 episode.
