Quotes 

• Katherine Burns : Excuse me, I found my fiancé.

  Marriage Clerk : You just told me he wasn't your fiancé.

  Katherine Burns : I was mistaken. I didn't recognise him.

  Marriage Clerk : [to Fraser]  What's your name?

  Katherine Burns : [before Fraser can answer]  He can't hear you; he's mute.

  Fraser : I believe you mean deaf.

  Katherine Burns : Oh, yes, thank you sweetheart.

  Marriage Clerk : You're marrying a deaf, mute Mountie and you didn't recognise him?

  Fraser : Perhaps I can explain...

  Marriage Clerk : If he's deaf mute, why is he talking?

  Katherine Burns : Now you're criticising the handicapped?

• Katherine Burns : [Fraser and Miss Burns are in a garbage truck]  My mother wanted me to wear her wedding dress. Of course, always the rebel I had to go out and have my own made. Now look at it.

  Fraser : Well, you know, dry cleaners can do er...

  [looks at her dress] 

  Fraser : absolutely nothing with that.

• 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.

• Fraser : I thought I was in love once, and then later I thought maybe it was just an inner-ear imbalance.

• 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.

• 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?
