2.22 What the Butler Sang

written by: Diane Wilk

Mr. Sheffield's main singer canceled out of a backer's meeting. Fran suggests he use Niles, who has a surprising voice.

Since Niles will be rehearsing, Fran suggests her sister Nadine should come cook. Nadine and her husband Barry have just broken up, and Na needs a place to stay anyway.

Fran enjoys having her sister around, it's just like old times!

Until they start arguing over a sweater, and Fran remembers that Nadine always wants whatever Fran has.	And the copying begins.... Good morning everyone!
	She even decides to make a play for Mr. Sheffield.

That night, Na brings Mr. Sheffield a little midnight snack.	Na: I have nothing to be ashamed of. I have a beautiful figure. She's not the only one with a body for days. Fran: Don't tell my boss I've got a body for days! He's not blind.
Fran: How dare you come into my bosses room like your over 30 and desperate. Here, cover yourself up!

Fran: If Mommy knew the way her eldest daughter behaved last night, she would be so mortified she would pack her bags and move down to Florida! ~~Call Ma. Nadine: I didn't know Mommy had two daughters. She was so busy pulling up your dress and showing off your thighs to everyone.

To try to get Nadine out of the house, Fran called Na's husband Barry, hoping they would make up if they talked. But the talk turned into a huge argument real quick.

The argument moves into the living room, without regard to poor Niles trying to sing at the backers meeting. You two shut up! Mr. Sheffield's out there with a bunch of rich people trying to shake 'em down!

Max: Miss Fine, I am beyond words. This is the most outrageous, horrible, unconscionable display!! Fran: I thought you said you were beyond words.

Fran: Barry, don't be jealous because she's dishing it out to other men. There's plenty left over for you. And you, Na, you want your man back, you gotta put it out. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

C.C.: Maxwell, you're never going to believe this! First, they hated Niles song. I get to tell him. Second, they loved that whole comedy thing going on in the background. They are throwing money at us!

So she's off the hook again.
