"I Call Your Name" is the third episode of the third season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.

Frasier (Creator/KelseyGrammer) comes into Cheers and, because Sam is TheBartender, asks for advice. Frasier claims that a client he calls "Thor" told Frasier that Thor's girlfriend, "Electra", called out the name of an old boyfriend during sex. Sam is not fooled, of course. While he gives Frasier some genuinely good-intentioned advice, he mercilessly teases Diane, until she finally makes him admit what he knows. When Frasier shows up at the bar again, Diane lowers the boom on the both of them.

!!Tropes:

* DirtyCoward: At first, it looks like Cliff is going to surrender himself to the mercies of Lewis. It turns out the name he put in an envelope is someone else. Who's laid up with a broken leg. And Cliff gives directions to the guy's house.
* IdiotBall: Does Frasier really have no one but Sam to talk to about this particular problem? Did he not consider the risks of consulting the very man whose name Diane apparently cried out, even if he thought the "I have this client" cover would work?
* IfYouCanReadThis: Cliff gives his letter about Lewis to Carla to mail. In high definition, the envelope has no address at all, only random squiggles.
* IHaveThisFriend: Guileless Frasier could not be more obvious when he tells Sam about how "Electra" called out the wrong name during sex with "Thor".
* ImplausibleDeniability: Diane says she wasn't talking about "Sam" when she cried out "Sam" during sex, she was talking about [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer Sam Goldwyn]].
* RepeatAfterMe: Carla is giving Coach a ride home. Coach asks if he can listen to his French-language tapes in the car. Carla says no, the tapes are doing no good, and challenges Coach to say "How are you today" in French.
--> '''Coach''': ''(in English but with a French accent)'' How are you today, in French?
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Lewis figures Cliff must know who got him fired, on the grounds Cliff's a gossip.
* RomanticFalseLead: How much did Frasier Crane fit this trope when he was first introduced on ''Cheers''? In his third episode, the plot is Diane calling out Sam's name during sex with Frasier.
* ScaryBlackMan: The rest of the gang try to stop Cliff from turning Lewis in, but fail. Cliff is terrified when Lewis comes to the bar, demanding to find out who did it.
* SeriousBusiness: Cliff thinks ignoring the theft of a fragrance sample will lead to "Hitler in the White House".
* TitledAfterTheSong: The title is taken from a song by Music/TheBeatles, "I Call Your Name".
* {{Troll}}: At the end of the episode, Diane starts acting amorous towards Sam, until they start making out. When Sam moans her name, she calls out "Frasier". Then, having made Sam look like an idiot, she runs for it.
* WrongNameOutburst: Diane called out Sam's name during sex with Frasier, much to Frasier's mortification.
