David Marciano: Detective Ray Vecchio

Quotes 

• Ray Vecchio : If we turn it over to these bozos...

  Agent Deeter : Bozos?

  Ray Vecchio : Oh, excuse me, Agent Bozos.

• Ray Vecchio : [discussing Hamlet with Fraser]  He was a crazy person. Okay? Elaine, tell him Hamlet was a crazy person!

  Elaine Besbriss : [indicating the FBI agents]  I can't vouch for Hamlet, but I'd watch out for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern if I were you.

• Agent Ford : All we're asking for is a little cooperation here, Lieutenant. Surely your people can manage that.

  Lt. Harding Welsh : I've seen your version of cooperation. We're still replacing windows down in Chinatown.

  Agent Ford : We're not blaming you for Chinatown, although there are some in Washington who were a little dismayed by the lack of respect your people showed for federal authority.

  [enter Ray] 

  Agent Ford : Here's a case in point.

  Ray Vecchio : Well, I see you boys ran out of things to screw up in Washington.

• Garret : There's no floor, just dirt or sand. But it's inside.

  Ray Vecchio : Well, what did you see, a factory? A warehouse?

  Garret : GOD.

  [Fraser and Ray both stare incredulously] 

  Constable Benton Fraser : God?

  Ray Vecchio : Great.

• Constable Benton Fraser : It's just that there's a certain matter that I've withheld from you for some time now, and I feel that if I don't clear my conscience soon, I...

  Ray Vecchio : Okay, okay, clear.

  Constable Benton Fraser : Well, it would appear that there is a situation that I have unwittingly encouraged, and it's taken a turn that I perhaps foolishly had not anticipated, or was even aware of as a remote possibility. But insofar as it is a matter of the heart, and directly affects someone who is close to both of us...

  Ray Vecchio : Fraser, you've got from here to my desk. Make it count.

  Constable Benton Fraser : Saturday last, your sister came to my apartment in the middle of the night dressed in what could only be described as a less than requisite attire and offered herself to me.

  Ray Vecchio : Okay, great. Now beat it.

  [stops short as it sinks in] 

  Ray Vecchio : MY SISTER?

• Ray Vecchio : So, Francesca.

  Constable Benton Fraser : Your sister.

  [long pause] 

  Ray Vecchio : You're not gonna tell me, are you?

  Constable Benton Fraser : No, I'm not, Ray.

  Ray Vecchio : I'm gonna have to live with this, aren't I?

  Constable Benton Fraser : Yes.

  Ray Vecchio : Stupid, right? I mean, if I'd want anybody to sleep with my sister, and I'm not encouraging this... I'd want it to be you.
