- Ray Vecchio: [after climbing out of a sewer and seeing Fraser is clean] What are you, Scotch-Guarded at birth?
- Insp. Meg Thatcher: I don't dislike animals, Fraser. I've had pets.
- Constable Benton Fraser: Really.
- Insp. Meg Thatcher: Small ones. A dachshund.
- Constable Benton Fraser: Ah.
- Insp. Meg Thatcher: He died.
- Ray Vecchio: Ah, somebody has a sweet tooth!
- Constable Benton Fraser: Hmmm.
- Ray Vecchio: Did I ever tell you how much I hate it when you go 'hmmm'?
- Constable Benton Fraser: Hmmm.
- Ray Vecchio: Are you saying I don't have any etiquette?
- Constable Benton Fraser: Etiquette is a loose codification of the rules of conduct in a polite society, and I believe that precludes accusing a United States Senator of murder, corruption, and moral deviance.
- Ray Vecchio: Fraser, this is America. We do that all the time.
- Ray Vecchio: Look, you spend your days picking other people's pockets, sooner or later you're going to tick somebody off.
- Constable Benton Fraser: Well, that's hardly comforting to a fourteen-year-old, now is it?
- Ray Vecchio: Well, what do you care so much about this kid for?
- [Fraser hesitates]
- Ray Vecchio: Okay. Please tell me this doesn't involve sub-zero temperatures or Inuit legend.
- Constable Benton Fraser: No, it does not.
- Ray Vecchio: Oh, of course it does. It always does!
