Due South Quotes

Dog Catcher: [to Diefenbaker] I gotcha! Where you going now, fella?
Benton Fraser: Hi. Diefenbaker, remember what I told you. [to dog catcher] Benton Fraser, RCMP, and this is my dog. Uh, wolf.
Dog Catcher: I thought that was a wolf. Well he's mine now, 'cause you sure as hell don't have a wolf license.
Ray Vecchio" In fact, he does.
Dog Catcher: You can't have this. It doesn't exist. It never did!
Ray: Signed by the mayor himself. Special dispensation. Now unhand that wolf.
Dog Catcher" [while leaving] Look what you did to my van!
Fraser: You got it! I only asked you once, and you got it.
Ray: Of course I got it. You asked me for it, right?
Fraser: From the mayor himself?
Ray: Well, no. Not exactly. You see, I didn't want to bother him, so what I did was I xeroxed a dog license and I put in "wolf". Wonderful things, photocopiers, huh

Ray Vecchio: [on phone] ...and you think this is the man who stole your cat? Claw marks on his cardigan, yes, that's very conclusive. Um, you know it's going to be a little difficult for me to break away from the case that I'm currently working on, but if you'd like to call back and ask for extension 312, Detectives Huey or Gardino would be glad to help you. Yes, they've been, uh, specially assigned to handle all animal-related offenses. No, ma'am, the pleasure's all mine. [hangs up, as Fraser walks in] How's it going?
Benton Fraser: I need your help, Ray.
Ray: Does it involve domestic animals?
Fraser: Not that I'm aware.
Ray: Then I'm your man.

[The door to the bar crashes open as Buck and Fraser enter]
Buck Frobisher: May I have your attention, please. [Everything stops and all eyes are glaring at Buck and Fraiser] Thank you.
Benton Fraiser: [whispering to Buck] Could I have one quick word?
Buck: [Continuing] Anybody carrying illegal firearms please place them on the bar, you're under arrest. [guns are pulled out and cocked] That's very good. Now place them on the bar.
Fraser: [to Buck] You see, I've been here before, and what I've found is this-
Buck: Ah, right...local custom. Alright, we're prepared to overlook the firearms infractions, it being hunting season and all. [a knife is thrown and lands in the door post besid Buck's shoulder] No, no, sir. You keep that. All we want is information on the whereabouts of one Walter Ho.
Thug holding Ray: You want to know where Ho is?
Fraser: [to Buck] You see, it's usually at this point that they'll start shooting, so if I might suggest we take cover behind that small wall, there-

Vincent: 956 Dearness Street.
Buck: Thank you, young man. Excuse us. [while leaving] Very nice people, these Americans. You hear these stories, but...

Ray Vecchio: I'm telling you, this is a waste of time. There's no way he gave you the right address. I mean, this is the guy's father.
Buck Frobisher: You're right, could be a trap. Now, we go in, ready for battle. [they burst into a room full of elderly people playing bingo] Alright! Nobody move! Get your hands on the table! Get those daubers where I can see 'em! [to an old guy on a walker] You, Pops! Hands in the air! [he obeys, loses his balance, and falls backwards] Oh, sorry.
[Outside the building the old guy is being carried off in on a stretcher]
Ray: Did anyone check this guy's birthday before we started out on this manhunt? Walter Ho was 91 years old. Wouldn't you say the trail's a tad cold?
Benton Fraser: Might have worked with Geiger early in his career.
Ray: Early in his career?! This guy started out with the James gang! Alright, where to next?
Buck: 907 Mill Street Road. I've run into this guy before, we're not going to find him in any bingo parlor. Trager, James.
[They find themselves at the cementary]
Buck: Born February 13, 1937. Died November 2, 1993.
Ray: Okay, I'll get the shovel, you handle the interrogation.

Ray Vecchio: How's it going?
Fraser: They tried to cut off my boots.
Ray: No!
Fraser: Right up the side. I wouldn't let them.
Ray: Well, I don't blame you. Lose a leg, sure, but a good pair of boots isn't easy to replace. Does it hurt?
Fraser: Yes, Ray.
Ray: Would you like a little more fluid?
Fraser: No thanks. How's Dief?
Ray: Oh, I rented him "Rin Tin Tin". He's thrilled.

Benton Fraser: [limping down the hall in his hospital gown] Ow, ow. Ray, could you?
Ray Vecchio: Do I have to? [holds Fraser's gown closed]
Fraser: Thanks, Ray.
Ray: Where the hell did Frobisher go?
Fraser: After Geiger.
Ray: Where are you going?
Fraser: To get my uniform.
Ray: Then what?
Fraser: Then we go after Frobisher. Ow.
Ray: Oh yeah, this makes sense. We got half the police department after this guy, but is he going to worry about that? No, he's got two limping Mounties on his tail.
Fraiser: Ow, ow.

Buck: Look, one week ago, that man in there stole my self-respect. At least I let him steal it. Now I want him to know I'm taking it back, now. I'm going in alone.
Fraser: I understand.
Ray: You understand?! Let me suggest another interpretation to you: That is the stupidest reason I've ever heard in all my life!
Buck: Alright, I won't be long.
Fraser: Oh, one thing. If we should happen to feel that he's also stolen something from us...
Buck: Well, you come too.
Fraser: Good.
Ray: This has gone far enough! Let me point something out to you that your sharp Mountie eyes might have missed. See those windows up there? There are men in those windows with sniper scopes and high-powered rifles. Do you see any cover between here and there? No. Which means there's no way to get from here to there without being seen or killed.
Fraser: He's absolutely right.
Ray: Which is a shame because if there was, I'd be the first to say, "Let's do it."
Fraser: Hmm...unless...
[the three are canoeing through the sewer]
Ray: I've never been so humiliated in all my life.
Fraser: Would you hold the lantern a little higher, Ray? If we bump the sides, we'll have to return the canoe scuffed.
Ray: Do you have any idea what's in this water?
Fraser: I would suspect a high percentage of ammonia, phosphorus, and cyanide.
Ray: Wrong! Rats. [holds hands up] Rats this big. And you know what they're doing? They're laughing at us. I'm in a canoe with two wounded Mounties and I'm being humiliated by rats.

Ray: Oh no! You're putting beef on your nose?! Stop that!

Benton Fraser: Excuse me, doctor. I'm Constable Benton Fraser, Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Doctor: Uh, what's your connection here, Constable?
Ray Vecchio: He does that a lot.
Fraser: I think you're right about it being food poisoning, sir, but not from food that's been left out too long. I believe the little boy ate diseased meat.
Doctor: And why do you believe that?
Fraser: Olfactory analysis.
Doctor: You smelled it?
Ray: He does that a lot, too.
