David Marciano: Detective Ray Vecchio

Quotes 

• Ray Vecchio : [while dressed as Fraser, to a passing pedestrian]  What are you looking at? You never seen a Canadian before?

• Fraser : This isn't just mail, Ray. This is a highly sensitive Canadian document.

  Ray Vecchio : Oh, you guys planning an invasion?

  Fraser : Well, I'm not entirely sure. I think I may have said too much already.

• Ray Vecchio : I can't believe you threw your hat.

  Fraser : Well, it's got an incredibly stiff brim. It's actually specifically designed to...

  Ray Vecchio : We're in the middle of a crisis and you throw your hat.

  Fraser : I'm sorry, Ray.

• Radio announcer : [on the basketball game]  That was an AMAZING shot! I'm not sure I can even describe it!

  Ray Vecchio : Commentate! You're a commentator!

• Fraser : We need some kind of diversion. How many bullets do you have left, Ray?

  Ray Vecchio : One.

  [fires it into the air] 

  Ray Vecchio : I'm not shooting my car. I blew up the last one for you, and I'm not doing it again.

  Fraser : Actually, that wasn't what I had in mind.

  Ray Vecchio : Good, 'cause I wasn't gonna do it anyway.

• [Leaving a gala event at the Canadian consulate, Ray stops to talk to Frasier outside the front door] 

  Ray Vecchio : You know what I like about Canadians? They're real easy to elbow out of the way.

• Ray Vecchio : Nigel J. Ellis?

  Fraser : You know him?

  Ray Vecchio : Yeah, Ellis Disposal. The guy's dirtier than the garbage he hauls. Toxic spills, illegal dumping - we've tried to nail him, but he's got so many politicians in his pocket he walks with a limp. I can't believe that's the guy you're delivering the invasion plans to!

• Fraser : Mr. Ellis, I want to assure you that Kathryn has been completely faithful to you!

  Katherine Burns : Except for the part in the honeymoon suite.

  Ray Vecchio : Honeymoon suite?

  Fraser : I was entirely innocent.

  Ray Vecchio : Yeah, big shock there.

  Fraser : [to Ellis]  Unfortunately, if you don't choose to believe this, there's nothing I can say to convince you of it.

  Ray Vecchio : What? No Mountie stories? No Inuit tales?
