- Det. Ray Vecchio: After further consideration, I have changed my mind, sir. I do not believe it was a robbery.
- Lt. Harding Welsh: Liquour store, mask, gun... you think we're jumping to conclusions, do you?
- Det. Ray Vecchio: Uhh, yes, sir. The gunman, sir, he was wearing a cashmere jacket and driving a black Cadillac. These are kind of expensive things for a two-bit hood, would you not say so, sir?
- Lt. Harding Welsh: Detective, I'm surprised you haven't picked up on that little-known fact about thieves - they usually don't pay for things.
- [first lines]
- 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?
- Det. Ray Vecchio: [arresting Smithbauer's attacker] Not too smart, using a stick to attack a player in full gear!
- Hall: I wasn't attacking him!
- Det. Ray Vecchio: Yeah, and I'm not arresting you, either!
- Hall: Look, I just wanted to put it in his face! He - he can't do that and get away with it!
- Det. Ray Vecchio: Do I look like I'm interested? You have the right to remain silent, why don't you use 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.
- [using Ray's new car for gunfire cover]
- 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: [over his police radio] Officer in pursuit of black Cadillac, in pursuit of two guys on ice skates! Why is that so hard to believe?
- 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.
