Due South, Season 1

Mackenzie King:
How much do you make?

Benton Fraser:
Me? Well it's in Canadian funds, so you have to deduct 38% , but, uh...

Mackenzie:
Enough.

Fraser:
About myself. Absolutely. Consulate work is pretty dull. Although there was this one passport case-

Mackenzie:
Wait a minute. You work at the consulate?

Fraser:
Well, yes. That's why I'm paid in Canadian funds. It's some- it's and odd governmental regulation.

Mackenzie:
So now you're denying you work with Charlie?

Fraser:
With Charlie? No, no. I could never be a professional boxer. I mean, in high school I-

Mackenzie:
I saw you bring him in. Are you telling me you don't feed patients to the clinic. You're not involved in this million dollar insurance scam? You're just this straight-arrow, do-gooding Mountie out to help the little guy? Tell me why I find that hard to believe.

Fraser:
Well, I understand your skepticism. Appearances can be deceiving. I mean, for example, you're a nurse, yet you wear extremely high heels to work. Which indicates either you haven't been a nurse for very long, or you have remarkable arches. Also, the way you hold your wrists suggests you spend many hours at a computer keyboard. And add to that, the slight crick in your neck, which indicates extended phone usage, and the minute traces of printer's ink under your three-quarter-inch nails. Which, by the way, must make bandaging quite a challenge. And a less trusting person might assume that you weren't a nurse at all. A less trusting person might assume that you work, say, for a newspaper. But then appearances can be deceiving.

Mackenzie:
And you've known this since...?

Fraser:
The parking lot. Also, you should check you tape recorders. I think either your battery is leaking or some liquid has spilled into the motor. From the smell of it, I would say... [sniffs] mace.
