Safe. Trouble. Safe. Trouble. Safe!'), Frasier attempts to stop him, causing Niles to spill his wine in Daphne's room. Frasier attempts to clean up the mess, telling Niles that the room makeover was the thing that was keeping Daphne from quitting Niles attempts to help, but not before Martin and Eddie find the two, who then enter the room.
