Now, in the care and operation of this vehicle there is one thing to remember and hold above all else: never, I repeat never use the lighter. Of all the original parts in this car it was the most difficult to replace. It took me seven years to find that lighter and since I've owned it it's never been depressed.

Fraser

Then... how do you know it works?

I know in my soul.

Aw, come on! I haven't eaten since the lock-up! I know my rights. You have to feed me every six hours.

Yeah, well, it's only been five.

Six! We passed a time zone.

That doesn't count! Fraser, you tell him.

Fraser

Well, actually, Ray, the legal scholars seem to be fairly equally divided on this point. One argument, extended to its logical conclusion, would provide that if you were traveling west at a rate of speed high enough to cross one time zone every hour, then you would never actually have to feed the prisoner. That is, of course, until you crossed the international date line, at which point you would have to force the prisoner to immediately consume four meals.

All right, you want the real truth? Here it is: those guys are part of the Canadian mob.

There's no such thing!

Fraser

On the contrary, Ray, organized crime is a growing problem in Canada.

Oh, yeah? What are we talking about here, conspiracy to commit jaywalking? Organized littering?

Fraser

My father said something that's always stuck with me, Ray.

Your father never shut up, did he?

Fraser

He said a man with no future will always run to his past.

And when did this come up, Fraser? Were you sitting around at breakfast when he came up with these things? Or did he come running into your room and just blurt 'em out?

Fraser

Ray, there's no need to be sarcastic.

No, I'm just curious. How did he work these things into every day conversation? Did he say, 'Son, did you see the size of that moose? And by the way, a man with no future will always run to his past'?
