Capt. Walsh : [Fraser and Ray are standing in Lt. Walsh's office after a gun fight broke out in a bar] One solid oak bar, sixteen tables, twelve chairs, one etched mirror, six by nine, one antique pool table, two doors, thirty-two bottles of liquor, and a Pabst Blue Ribbon neon clock. Does this seem like a fairly accurate list of the damages, Detective Vecchio?
Ray Vecchio : I don't believe the pool table was an antique, sir.
Capt. Walsh : Oh, well we'll never know now, will we? Because all that's left is this bag of felt.
Ray Vecchio : I sought refuge behind the item in question when the suspect pointed a shot gun in my direction and fired repeatedly, sir.
Capt. Walsh : Suspect. I'm glad we finally got around to that because I would hate to think we were responsible for all this damage without a very good reason. You say you identified him by his nose?
Ray Vecchio : Yes, sir.
Capt. Walsh : You didn't say something about his nose, causing him to fire repeatedly into the bar?
Ray Vecchio : Ah, no.

An investigation which resulted in injury of seven people, three with gun shot wounds, two with broken limbs, one hospitalized with a concussion, and one who claims to have been bitten by a wolf.
Ray Vecchio : The wolf was just trying to help, sir
Capt. Walsh : [Sarcastically] They usually are!
