Fraser : In Canada we have more than a passing familiarity with confusion. We're comprised of ten provinces and two territories communicating across six time zones in two official languages. The English don't understand the French, the French don't understand the English and the Inuit, quite frankly, couldn't give a damn about either of them. Added to the equation is the Assembly of First Nations with a total of 633 separate Indian bands speaking 180 sub-dialects among their 50 linguistic groups. And is if that weren't enough there are some fisherman on the East coast with a remarkably whimsical accent.

Constable Benton Fraser : [to Dief] Well, are you coming?
[Dief turns and runs away]
Constable Benton Fraser : You know, you let a wolf save your life... they make you pay, and pay, and pay.
Ray Vecchio : That's why I don't own a wolf.
-
Constable Benton Fraser : [holding up his menu] Ah, Ray, may I?
Ray Vecchio : Yeah, go ahead, Benny, but it's in Chinese.
Constable Benton Fraser : Ah, so I see.
Ray Vecchio : And try not to order anything with internal organs, willya?
[Fraser places an order in laboured Chinese as Ray watches in disbelief. Mr. Lee eagerly thanks Fraser and heads for the kitchen]
Ray Vecchio : How did you do that?
Constable Benton Fraser : Oh, I just went with the specials.
-
Jack Huey : Tell me, Fraser, what exactly does a kidnapping sound like?
Constable Benton Fraser : Well, in this case, there was the sound of a foot breaking glass. This was followed by the scream of a female bystander, and then the squeal of tires as the vehicle pulled away from the curb.
Jack Huey : And did you happen to 'hear' a license plate number, too?
Constable Benton Fraser : No, the license was obscured by mud.
Louis Gardino : You know what we have here, Jack? Another case of... speeding with a dirty license plate!
Jack Huey : Damn, this city's going to hell!
-
Constable Benton Fraser : Would everybody please settle down? I'm trying to listen.
Ray Vecchio : To what?
Constable Benton Fraser : Shhhh...
[remembers car vs. puddle sounds]
Constable Benton Fraser : I'm not certain, but it sounds like 'doo-shhh, doo-shhh.' What does that sound like to you?
Ray Vecchio : How about the sound of my job going down the toilet? I'm sitting in a dark closet with a Mountie being licked by a deaf wolf!
[beat]
Ray Vecchio : That was the wolf, wasn't it?
Constable Benton Fraser : Yes, Ray.
Ray Vecchio : Oh, thank God.
-
Constable Benton Fraser : [Fraser and Ray are listening to an interrogation going on downstairs using the vent in the bathroom] We're eavesdropping! Aren't we?
Ray Vecchio : I'll make sure they take away your merit badge later.
-
Ray Vecchio : Firecrackers? Sorry, Fraser, not good enough.
Constable Benton Fraser : Why not? It's gunpowder, it's low-grade.
Ray Vecchio : In case you didn't realize, Mr. Mountie, you cannot buy, sell, or manufacture fireworks anywhere in the city of Chicago.
Constable Benton Fraser : That is, unless you have a license to exhibit. City ordinance, section 15-20.
Ray Vecchio : You read that?
Constable Benton Fraser : There's a world of information at your local library, Ray. Are you still there, Elaine?
Elaine Besbriss : [over the phone] Three. Quan Lu and Yellow Dragon Fireworks, both on the south side; and Lucky Day Pyrotechnics, on Barrington.
Constable Benton Fraser : Thank you kindly, Elaine.
Ray Vecchio : Thanks, Elaine.
Elaine Besbriss : Uh-huh.
Ray Vecchio : Your call.
Constable Benton Fraser : We'll try the one on Barrington.
Ray Vecchio : That's right in Charlie Wong's backyard. You actually think he's gonna keep the kid there?
Constable Benton Fraser : He's there. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
Ray Vecchio : Another wise Chinese guy?
Constable Benton Fraser : No. Robert Fraser, my father.
-
Ray Vecchio : This is exactly what I was afraid would happen.
Constable Benton Fraser : Ray, please.
Ray Vecchio : You cannot track a Lincoln town car through the streets of Chicago. It's not like a beaver. It doesn't leave nice little tail tracks in the tundra.
[Ray's car splashes through a puddle]
Constable Benton Fraser : Wait a minute...
[pauses, remembering the sounds of the getaway car]
Constable Benton Fraser : We've picked up their trail.
Ray Vecchio : Why do I feel more and more like Dale Evans? Hey, Roy! Wait for me!
-
Fraser : Do you think he's all right?
Ray Vecchio : Who?
Fraser : Diefenbaker.
Ray Vecchio : He's a wild animal!
[beat]
Fraser : He didn't *look* all right.
