Quotes 

  • Fraser : There are strange things done in the midnight sun, by the men who -

    [trips and falls] 

    Ray Vecchio : Toil for gold! Yeah, yeah, I heard that one, and then they shot that Sam McGee guy. I told you, I went camping before.

    Fraser : Moil, Ray. And they cremated him. It was Dan McGrew that they shot.

    Ray Vecchio : Did they catch the guy?

    Fraser : It's a poem, Ray.

    Ray Vecchio : Oh. Moil, huh?

    Fraser : Yes, moil, not toil.

    Ray Vecchio : Aaah, moil, toil, who cares?

    Fraser : Robert Service, apparently.

    Ray Vecchio : Who's he?

    Fraser : The poet.

  • Ray Vecchio : We're lost.

    Fraser : No, we're not. We just don't know where we are.

  • Fraser : [suspicious of the pilot]  The Territories are northwest, Ray. We've been flying south for two hours. He's also ignoring radio calls and occasionally flying underneath radar coverage.

    Ray Vecchio : So what are you saying, we're being hijacked?

    Fraser : No, no, not necessarily. But the chafing on his wrists is consistent with a man who's recently been in handcuffs. Add to that the blood on the back of his flight suit, and the prominent bullet hole, well - I leave it up to you.

    Ray Vecchio : You couldn't have mentioned this earlier?

    Fraser : It's a moot point, Ray. He has a gun, we don't.

    Ray Vecchio : This isn't a trick, is it?

    Fraser : On my word of honour.

    [Ray pulls out his backup gun] 

    Fraser : But I will have to arrest you, of course, once we land.

  • Fraser : I think I hear a nest of furry nightcrawlers.

  • Fraser Sr. : When I first joined the Mounted Police, all the equipment we got was a paper bag and a pointed stick. We used the bag to boil tea and the stick was for killing game and if you lost either of them, they charged you for it.

    Fraser : Are you ill?

  • Ray Vecchio : Hey, Benny, how long did you say this flight was, anyway?

    Fraser : Four hours.

    Ray Vecchio : Okay, so where's the john?

    [Fraser looks blankly at Ray] 

    Ray Vecchio : Greeeeat.

  • Fraser : Dad, I don't know if it's escaped your attention, but only very recently, I received a massive blow to my head!

    Fraser Sr. : Yeah... well... you've still got a few good hours left in you. Go get him!

    Fraser : What?

    Fraser Sr. : Go get your man!

    Fraser : Oh, good, I'm glad you brought this up! Just explain this to me, once and for all, explain to me - why is it that we always have to get our man?

    Fraser Sr. : Well, it's the motto, son!

    Fraser : It is not!

    Fraser Sr. : It is!

    Fraser : It is not! It is definitely not our motto! Our motto actually is 'Maintain the Right'!

    Fraser Sr. : Main - maintain the wh...?

    Fraser : Maintain the Right! Now what you're telling me is that we should pursue people to the ends of the earth for a motto that isn't even our motto!

    Fraser Sr. : Oh. Well, it must be the new one, then. The old one just used to be go get your man, and bring him back alive, or something... go get him.
