Quotes
-
Fraser : Ray, do you think I expect too much from people?
Ray Vecchio : Well, let's take us climbing up the side of this building, for example.
Fraser : Okay.
Ray Vecchio : Is the building on fire?
Fraser : Ah, no.
Ray Vecchio : Is there a helpless person trapped up on the roof?
Fraser : No.
Ray Vecchio : Is there a hostage to rescue?
Fraser : Not that I'm aware of, no.
Ray Vecchio : Then we're climbing this building because...?
Fraser : Oh, I see. Because I expect too much from people.

Ray Vecchio : [admiring John Taylor's car] 66 T-Bird, 72 Riviera.
John Taylor : A Riv? Mint?
Ray Vecchio : Uh, was. I've, uh, gone through a couple of them recently.
Fraser : They were blown up.
-
Ray Vecchio : Look, Benny, if you want some help, you're gonna have to register a dispute.
Fraser : You're sure?
Ray Vecchio : Yes, well that's what they do here, they handle disputes.
Fraser : I won't be making a fuss?
Ray Vecchio : Well, of course you will, that's the whole point.
Fraser : Ah.
[Fraser walks out of the camera shot, pause, he walks back]
Fraser : I don't have to raise my voice, do I?
-
Ray Vecchio : [just before Fraser's filibuster] You know, you're wasting your time.
Fraser : Possibly.
Ray Vecchio : The best you're going to get is a bad case of laryngitis.
Fraser : Probably.
Ray Vecchio : [sighs] Lozenges?
Fraser : Cherry-flavoured?
Ray Vecchio : On my way.
Fraser : Thank you kindly.

Ray Vecchio : [examining his new car] Look, both you and I know you gotta turn this baby over, Al.
Al Grosso : Ray, you're beating me up here. I'm bleeding all over the floor!
Fraser : I got them into this, Ray.
Ray Vecchio : No, what you did was, you helped them clean up that hellhole! If they want any more help than that, tell 'em to call '60 Minutes'!
Fraser : Everybody has a right to a roof over their heads.
Ray Vecchio : Yeah, as long as they can pay the rent! What is that? Is that rust, Al? Do I see rust there?
Al Grosso : That's primer.
Ray Vecchio : Yeah, and if I was wearin' a dress, I'd be a woman.
Fraser : [looking closely at the bottom of the car] Ohhh, dear.
Ray Vecchio : Ohhh, dear. What do we have here? Oh, yeah! Would you look at that, huh? Huh? Whaddya got to say now, Al?
Al Grosso : Okay! I'll drop off five hundred, but that's it!
Fraser : Well, that would make the final price... oh, well, how much can a frame be worth anyway?
Ray Vecchio : FRAME?
Fraser : Yes, it's spot-welded. It's quite excellent work. Except for this slight contour on the brazing, you really wouldn't know that this vehicle had been severed in half. I'm sure there's still a lot of it that's salvageable.
