Favorite quote:
FRANCIS BOLT: You recall the games we used to play in Uncle Jimmy's mortuary?
RANDAL BOLT: Those weren't games, Francis. You pickled my dogs.
FRANCIS: Let the dogs go, Randal.
RANDAL: [weeping] They weren't dead.
FRANCIS: Let them go, I say.

--or--

RAY: "So what's the Mountie like?" He's Superman, all right? What d'you expect me to say, he's a moron? He dresses up in that damn red suit every single day of his life like a signpost--
FRASER: Oh, come on, Ray, that's not fair. I don't wear it all the time. The truth is, there are times I wish I didn't have to wear it. The thing itches. It itches three hundred and sixty-five days of the year--unless of course it's a leap year, in which case it itches three hundred and sixty-six days--but the point is, I don't wear it intentionally. It's part of my obligations.
RAY: We are not talking about clothes here, Fraser, okay? We're talking about you. The most irritating man in the world.
FRASER: Ray, I know I irritate you. But you have to believe me, I'm not trying to irritate you. It's not part of some sort of master plan.
