Ray Vecchio quotes from Due South

Ian

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

Vecchio

There's no such thing!

Fraser

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

Vecchio

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

Ian

The guy in the hat? Danny 'The Bull' Brock. One of his guys stiffed him on a count so he took him into an alley and shot him eight times.

Vecchio

So is that one time with eight bullets, or eight separate times? Because in America, after the third trip down the same alley we'd start to get a little suspicious.

Fraser

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

Vecchio

Your father never shut up, did he?

Fraser

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

Vecchio

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.

Vecchio

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'?

Fraser

He went that way.

Vecchio

Why? Does a man with no future always turn left?

Vecchio

Fraser, look at me. I have one shoe, I'm covered in mud, and I'm standing with a wolf and a guy dressed as who-knows-what. No one in their right mind is gonna stop and give us a lift without the threat of deadly force.

You folks stranded, eh?

Vecchio

Canadian?

Go on, eh! How'd you know?

If you're ever in Sarnia, drop by!

Fraser

Oh, thank you kindly!

Vecchio

Thanks! [aside] Fraser, if I'm ever in Sarnia, shoot me with a big gun.

Vecchio

[firing gun blindly] I think I got their windshield!

Fraser

Every little bit helps, Ray.
