 Paul Gross QuotationMovie Title: Getting Married in Buffalo Jump (1990) as Alex: Sophie : You never get used to them do you? Alex : Beg your pardon? Sophie : Sunsets Alex : Maybe you would if she'd ever repeat one. Movie Title: Due South (1997) as Benton Fraser: Ray Kowalski : D'you find me attractive? Benton Fraser : In what sense? Ray Kowalski : In the sense of... you know, being a woman. Benton Fraser : Do I think you're an attractive woman? Landlady: So what's your story? You work in a circus? Benton Fraser : Uh, no, ma'am, Royal Canadian Mounted police. I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father, and for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture I've remained, attached as liaison with the Canadian Consulate. Landlady: [after long pause] Don't take anything. Benton Fraser : Understood. Benton Fraser : Thank you. Thank you kindly. Benton Fraser : Sir, I wonder if I might ask a question. Kevin Spender : Sure, if you can tell me how a Mountie fits into this. Benton Fraser : My name is Constable Benton Fraser... Lt. Welsh : He originally came to Chicago on the trail of his father's killer... Ray Kowalski : And for a whole bunch of reasons he's decided to stick around... Benton Fraser : Attached as liaison with the Canadian Consulate. Huck Bogart : And who the hell are you? Sheriff Wilson Welsh : Huck, this is Lt. Harding Welsh of the Chicago Police Department and this in Constable Fraser of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He first came to Illinois on the trail of his father's killer and for a number of interesting reasons has stayed... Benton Fraser : ...attached as liaison with the Canadian Consulate. Huck Bogart : You're kidding me. Benton Fraser : No sir, I'm not. Ray Kowalski : You and I both know I'm not Ray Vecchio. Benton Fraser : You're not? Ray Kowalski : I don't even look like him. Benton Fraser : Well, you could have had plastic surgery. Ray Kowalski : You are unhinged. Ray Kowalski : You know, Fraser, when they offered me this assignment, they made it sound kind of normal. They say, "Hey, Ray, here's a chance to start over, ditch the past." "What's the catch?" I say. "Oh, your partner's Canadian." Canadian? I got nothing against Canadians, except for the time when they won the World Series. Benton Fraser : Two times. Ray Kowalski : Which I'm willing to overlook. Benton Fraser : Thank you. Ray Kowalski : But at no time did they say, "you'll be working with a Mountie who's got a wolf that's a florist". Ray Kowalski : You don't have a gun? Benton Fraser : Well, obviously you weren't fully briefed. I'm not licensed to carry a firearm. Ray Kowalski : And you didn't bother telling me before? Benton Fraser : Well, it didn't seem germane at the time. Ray Kowalski : What the hell kinda word is that? Ray Kowalski : Oh, great, what, we got the alderman on attempted suicide? Benton Fraser : Inducement to suicide is still a crime in the state of Illinois. Ray Kowalski : Got the death penalty for that? Benton Fraser : Well I don't imagine the death penalty would be an effective deterrent for potential suicides. Ray Kowalski : Right. Got a point there. Benton Fraser : You know, Ray, my father once told me that the sky isn't just above you, that if you look at the horizon you'll see that it actually touches the ground. So if you think about it, wherever you go, you are actually walking in the sky. Ray Kowalski : You're a freak. Benton Fraser : Understood. Benton Fraser : Geiger was an escaped convict sworn to vengeance on a legendary Mountie who bore an uncanny resemblance to the Canadian actor and comedian, Leslie Nielsen. Robert Fraser's ghost: Who has yet to receive the Order of Canada. Benton Fraser : Long overdue. Robert Fraser's ghost: We have to find somewhere to live. Benton Fraser : What do you mean, "we"? Robert Fraser's ghost: That's a cruel joke, son. I've been thinking about an office. I think I need an office. Benton Fraser : What the hell would you do with an office? Robert Fraser's ghost: Office work, memoirs, catch up on my taxes. . . Benton Fraser : You've been dead for two years. Robert Fraser's ghost: Oh, they find you, son. They find you. Benton Fraser : Hello, this is Detective Vecchio's cellular telephone. Er, Constable Benton Fraser answering? Ray Kowalski : "Hello" is enough, Fraser. Benton Fraser : Have you seen Ray? Francesca : Yeah, he said he was going some place to think. Whatever mythical place that might be. Robert Fraser's ghost: Close the door, son. Anyone would think you were born in a barn. Benton Fraser : I was. Robert Fraser's ghost: Now this is where you need the Yank, so he can threaten them with force, tell them he's going to kick 'em in the head or jump Bogart all over them or one of those other colorful expressions he's so fond of. Benton Fraser : I can do that. Robert Fraser's ghost: Oh, they would never believe you, son. Benton Fraser : They might. Benton Fraser : Tell me where my partner is...or I shall kick you in the head. Larry : Really? Benton Fraser : Ah, no. Benton Fraser : Ray, you know, you really should try to keep your things a little more organized. Ray Kowalski : Look, Fraser, this is the wrong time for advice on neatness. Benton Fraser : It may be the wrong time for advice, Ray, but it's never the wrong time for neatness. Ray Kowalski : Look, we're hundreds of miles from nowhere in a frozen wasteland and you're grinning like an idiot. Benton Fraser : I'm home. Torrance : What is a Mountie doing here, anyway? Ray Kowalski : His name is Constable Benton Fraser. He first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of his father, and for reasons that do not need explaining at this juncture, he has remained a lesion... Benton Fraser : Uh, liaison, Ray. Attached as liaison with the Canadian consulate. [Fraser and Ray are being questioned by a gang of criminals.] Muldoon : Perhaps he should talk. Don't I know you? Benton Fraser : Not directly, no. I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my - Ray Kowalski : Fraser, not now. Movie Title: Men with Brooms (2002) as Chris Cutter: Alexander "The Juggernaut" Yount : I've played on a lot of ice, all over this planet we call home, but I don't believe I've seen a better shot. It's been a pleasure. James Lennox : "On this planet we call home?" Chris Cutter : Hey, whatever. Chris Cutter : She's okay, she's just tired. Brandon Foley : It's nice that you're lying to me but we both know she's shitface. Chris Cutter : Yeah, you'll take care of her? Brandon Foley : Got to, she's the only mom I've got. James Lennox : I'm a drug dealer. Neil Bucyk : I bury dead people. Eddie Strombeck : I have a single digit sperm count. Chris Cutter : And I'm a naked cheater. I say we go for it. Are you with me? Let's do it. Chris Cutter : [bemoaning the demise of a local hardware store] :That hardware store was unique. Amy Foley: So was my husband. I'm still glad they came up with vibrators. Chris Cutter : No, it's not just a rock. Amy Foley: No? Chris Cutter : It's forty-two pounds of polished granite, bevelled on the belly and a handle a human being can hold. And it may have no practical purpose in itself but it is a repository of human possibility and if it's handled just right, it will exact the kind of poetry... Chris Cutter : For ten years, I've drilled for oil in 93 coutnries, five different continents, and not once have I done anything to equal the grace of a well thrown rock sliding down a sheet. Not once. James Lennox : She's a rent-a-girlfriend. Chris Cutter : Good God! Listen to yourself. Are you some kind of moral dyslexic. James Lennox : I think you got that backwards, baby. Chris Cutter : You got her drunk? Goddamn it, Jim, she's A.A. What else did you do to her. James Lennox : Hey man, I resent that implication. Even if I wanted to take advantage of the young lady, I do have some principles. You gottta be concious, for one thing. Movie Title: Buried on Sunday (1992) as Augustus Knickel: Paxton : (referring to Knickel) Who is this bozo? Augustus Knickel : This bozo is Christ's representative on Earth, the Mayor of Town and the Acting Head of State of The Republic of Solomon Gundy, you little tit! Nelson : You're the mayor, right? August Nickle. Augustus Knickel : It's Augustus Knickel, actually. But you can call me Your Worship. [Augustus and Noel are making out in the submarine] Noel : I can't believe it. I'm inches away from a hydrogen bomb. Augustus Knickel : You flatter me! Movie Title: The Red Green Show (1991) as Kevin Black: Kevin Black : Yeah, I think we should just take that right to bed, see how it creases the sheets. Movie Title: Due South (1994) as Benton Fraser: Benton Fraser : When I graduated from the Academy, my father gave me one piece of advice. He said always... no, he said never... well, actually he gave me two pieces of advice but I've forgotten the other one but the important one is, never chase a man over a cliff. Benton Fraser : I don't imagine the death penalty would be an effective deterrent for attempted suicides. Benton Fraser : [tossing guy in cell] That's the last time he'll fish over the limit! Underhill : I talked to the Super at your last job. He suggested transferring you further north. Benton Fraser : Well, that would put me in Russia, sir. Benton Fraser : I guessed. I had a hunch. Ray Vecchio : No, no, no, no. You don't have hunches. I have hunches. Benton Fraser : I had one of your hunches, Ray. Felt good. [Fraser asks Gerard to give him a transfer to the Canadian Consulate in Chicago so he investigate his father's murder.] Gerard : What was the biggest city you ever worked in? Benton Fraser : Moosejaw. Gerard : Yeah, and you were transferred out after five weeks because you couldn't adapt to such an urban life style. You're like your father. Out there in no man's land, there isn't a better cop in the world. But in Chicago, they'd eat you alive in a minute. Sorry. Benton Fraser : Excuse me, can I have your attention please? Thank you. Anyone carrying illegal weapons if you would place them on the bar. You are under arrest. [a knife is thrown into the wall near Fraser's head] Benton Fraser : You realize I'm going to have to confiscate that? Movie Title: Due South (1994) as Fraser: [Explaining an unusual scar] Fraser : It was an otter, I was ten, it was dead, someone hit me with it. Can we move on? [Repeated line] Fraser : Thank you kindly. Fraser : There is nothing more frustrating than playing hide and seek with a deaf wolf. Fraser : This isn't just mail, Ray. This is a highly sensitive Canadian document. Ray Vecchio : Oh, you guys planning an invasion? Fraser : Well, I'm not entirely sure. I think I may have said too much already. Ray Vecchio : I can't believe you threw your hat. Fraser : Well, it's got an incredibly stiff brim. It's actually specifically designed to ... Ray Vecchio : We're in the middle of a crisis and you throw your hat. Fraser : I'm sorry, Ray. Fraser : Where I come from... the challenges are quite different. There are no drug dealers or pimps, few thieves to bother with. There's only the environment, and surviving in the face of it is the challenge... of the Inuit. A mother gives birth somewhere out on a glacier field, hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost. And she knows the odds are stacked against her son even living to see the spring; disease, or the lack of food, the elements. And even if he should survive and grow to be a boy, she knows very well that all he has to do is lose his footing on the smooth surface of a glacier and that will be that. In other words, she should know that her son... cannot live. So, why should she try? Well, I know this woman. I helped deliver her son. She was weak and undernourished, but the next morning she stood up and she picked her child up in her arms and... and she set out again into the blinding snow and I think... I think that was the single most courageous act I've ever seen. Ray Vecchio : Does the word "incarcerate" mean anything to you? Fraser : Well it's from the Medieval Latin, "incarcerata..." Ray Vecchio : Medieval Latin? You let a perp go and you're giving me Medieval Latin? Fraser : Actually, "perpetrator" is also Latin, from "perpetrare..." Ray Vecchio : Shut up, ok? Just shut up. Fraser : You know, you let a wolf save your life, they make you pay and pay and pay... Fraser : My father said something that's always stuck with me, Ray. Ray Vecchio : Your father never shut up, did he? Fraser : Bindlestitch. Ray Vecchio : You know, you've gotta stop swearing in Eskimo. Ray Vecchio : Ah. here it is. 'Lloyd P. Nash.' You want to know what the 'P' stands for? Fraser : Is it pertinent? Ray Vecchio : Not even close. Fraser : [to Diefenbaker] Stop stealing the blanket. [Diefenbaker whines] Fraser : You're an Arctic Wolf, for God's sake. Fraser Sr. : Hello, son. Fraser : [warily] Hello Dad, how are you? Fraser Sr. : I'm dead, son. Other than that do you mean? Fraser : No, that's what I was asking. Fraser Sr. : Well, that's good. Never be ashamed to ask a stupid question, son. Fraser : [Diefenbaker is half on, half off Vecchio while the detective is driving the car] He's deaf. You have to speak very loud and very slow and enunciate. Ray Vecchio : GET-OFF-ME-EXCLAMATION-MARK! Fraser : Who the hell are you? Ray Vecchio : What? Quit kidding around; you know who I am! Fraser : Who the hell am I? Ray Vecchio : ...Oh dear. |
