Constable Benton Fraser : You know, you really should set an example, Ray. After all, you stand for the rule of law, and -
[Ray hangs a sudden left]
Constable Benton Fraser : You just did it again!
Det. Ray Vecchio : Did what?
Constable Benton Fraser : You know perfectly well what.
Det. Ray Vecchio : No, I don't.
Constable Benton Fraser : You just made a turn without indicating.
Det. Ray Vecchio : I wouldn't do that.
Constable Benton Fraser : You just did!
Det. Ray Vecchio : You're seeing things!
Constable Benton Fraser : I'm not seeing things, Ray! You made a left turn at that intersection, and you didn't use your -
[Ray screeches around another corner]
Constable Benton Fraser : There! You just did it again!
Det. Ray Vecchio : Did what?
Constable Benton Fraser : [frustrated] You know, perhaps I'm reading too much into matters, but it would appear that you're doing this on purpose.
Det. Ray Vecchio : [grinning] Yeah, it really annoys you, doesn't it?

Constable Benton Fraser : You know, he probably assumed that I was an accomplice.
Det. Ray Vecchio : You're making up a lot of excuses for this guy, Benny.
Constable Benton Fraser : No I'm not, I'm just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Det. Ray Vecchio : What he doesn't need is more benefits! You know what a place like this costs? This guy must be pulling down seven figures for playing one of the stupidest sports ever invented. Every time I pick up the paper, he's whining about his knee, complaining about this, moaning about that...
Constable Benton Fraser : Hockey is a very demanding sport, Ray.
Det. Ray Vecchio : Oh, gimme a break, I was just being polite calling it a sport.

Det. Ray Vecchio : Brand-new paint job, waxed and detailed! You have any idea what the windows for a Buick Riviera cost?
Constable Benton Fraser : Thought you went home!
Det. Ray Vecchio : Oh, you're welcome!

Det. Ray Vecchio : [off Fraser watching a taped hockey game] Well, twelve straight hours of hockey seems like a bit much even for you, Fraser.
Mr. Brewer : Fourteen.
Det. Ray Vecchio : Yeah, well, while you guys have been wasting your time here, I've been down at forensics lab wasting mine.
Constable Benton Fraser : No prints?
Det. Ray Vecchio : Too many. Dozen or so postal workers and three or four people down at Smithbauer's PR office.
Mr. Brewer : [shouting at the TV] Shoot, you jerk!
Det. Ray Vecchio : The guy can't hear you, the game was played over two weeks ago!
Mr. Brewer : Your friend don't know nothin' about hockey?
[Fraser shakes his head]

Det. Ray Vecchio : No, something's not right here, Fraser. Once Smithbauer told Broda he wouldn't take the money, Broda wouldn't have bet on the game. Either someone else is after him...
Constable Benton Fraser : Or?
Det. Ray Vecchio : Or he took the money.
Constable Benton Fraser : No, you're wrong, Ray. I know this man.
Det. Ray Vecchio : You *knew* this man. People change, Fraser.
Constable Benton Fraser : Not who they are.
Det. Ray Vecchio : Lots of things change people. Success, money, the city. When did you last see him?
Constable Benton Fraser : We were thirteen.
Det. Ray Vecchio : Puberty changes people.
