- Fraser: Excuse me. I, ah...
- [realizes he's talking to a mannequin]
- Fraser: Ray, maybe you should conduct this interview.
- Ray Vecchio: It's moulded plastic, Benny. It's not gonna jump out at you.
- Fraser: What, you mean this? If you think I'm embarrassed, you're sorely mistaken.
- Ray Vecchio: Oh, yeah, that's why you're turning the color of your uniform.
- Fraser: Don't be ridiculous. It's just hot in here, that's all.
- Francesca: Forgive me, Father, for what I am about to do.
- Father Behan: This isn't about the Mountie again, is it?
- Francesca: I know, I know, but this time I'm gonna do it.
- Father Behan: Francesca, I can't keep forgiving you in advance for something that never happens.
- Fraser: Sometimes at night I can still remember him coming into the classroom, swinging that otter over his head. There was just no reasoning with him.
- Harding Welsh: I have to ask you this, don't you have a job of your own?
- Fraser: Oh, yes sir, but I had the early shift this morning.
- Harding Welsh: And you have nothing better to do with your life than hang around here and help us solve crimes?
- Fraser: No, sir.
- Ray Vecchio: [Francesca enters the church] Oh, God... Sorry, Father.
- Father Behan: That is your sister, isn't it?
- Ray Vecchio: Ah, yes it is, Father.
- Father Behan: Oh, God.
- Fraser: I'm sure Detective Vecchio shares your concerns, Mr. Zuko. After all, as you just pointed out, this is his neighbourhood, too.
- Frank Zuko: Canadian, right?
- Fraser: Yes.
- Frank Zuko: Well, then, you understand. I mean, you come from one of those nice clean cities where they have no graffiti, no garbage on the streets, and the people treat each other with respect. Right?
- Fraser: Well, I suppose so, yes. Although it's been my experience that many people live their lives thinking that they're respected, only to discover that they've been merely feared. And fears can be overcome.
- Fraser: As a police officer, I'm forbidden to accept gifts.
- Frank Zuko: Really?
- Fraser: Yes.
- Frank Zuko: The officers I know never mentioned that.
- Fraser: [in a lingerie store] We would like to ask you a question that is unrelated to either underwear or breasts.
- Ray Vecchio: Hey, Elaine, get me a list of all the salmon fisheries in the greater metropolitan area, will ya?
- Elaine Besbriss: What?
- Fraser: Never mind, Elaine, I believe Ray was just mocking me.
- Francesca: [while Fraser is trying to sing with the choir] So the other day, I'm having my nails done, when all of a sudden it just hits me like a ton of bricks. This guy is never going to come to you, Francesca! Nothing that good ever comes to you! The way I see it, you want the best, you gotta take it. So I say to myself, 'Ask him out.' To which I reply, 'What if it goes badly? What if I have, like, food stuck between my teeth and he turns off to me?' Pssh! So then I say, 'Ask him out for drinks.' But then I remember: 'He's a Mountie, stupid! He doesn't drink!' And sure, it's dark in a movie theatre and everything, but there could be people around, and... aahhh, no. So the way I see it is, why do we have to play these games? I mean, we're both adults. We both know what we want. So, ahem...
- [just as the choir finishes and the church falls silent]
- Francesca: You wanna have sex?
- Frank Zuko: [after Ray has beaten him bloody] You're not gonna walk very far!
- Ray Vecchio: Down the block's far enough, cuz. You know, I'm gonna enjoy telling this story. It's the kind of story people like to tell over and over again.
- Frank Zuko: Yeah, like somebody's gonna believe you.
- Ray Vecchio: Check your face. Everybody's gonna believe me. You know, it's gonna be pretty hard to instill fear in people when they're laughin' at ya.
- [beat]
- Ray Vecchio: Of course, you know, I can just as easily forget about it. See, 'cause I got one of those memories. I can remember things that happened twenty years ago... sometimes I forget what I had for breakfast!
- Frank Zuko: Don't!
- Ray Vecchio: Don't what? Don't tell? Is that what you want? You wanna make a deal with me? All right, here's the deal. You call off the hit on Joey Paducci. You let him open up his shop, and you leave him alone. You do that, and this never happened. It's just between you, me, and the basketball.
- Frank Zuko: [muttering] You can go to hell.
- Ray Vecchio: Go to what? Did you tell me to go to hell? Is that what you said? Well, that's a shame, cuz. 'Cause this deal's only good till I get to the door!
- [makes haste toward the door]
- Frank Zuko: DEAL!
