Due south

I found this documentary on Due South while looking around Youtube:

The adventures of the mild-mannered, terminally polite  Mountie, Benton  Fraser ("Thank you kindly!"); wise-cracking Chicago cop Ray Vecchio; and Fraser's deaf, lip-reading wolf, Diefenbaker, were a firm favorite in our household and I spent many happy Saturday evenings watching this show with my da.

 

This is a very memorable song from one of my favorite episodes, itself an implausible mix of Leslie Nielsen, Canadian nuclear terrorists and a carriage full of country-singing Mounties.

 

"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." - Fraser

"He's so polite."
"He's Canadian."
"Oh, I thought he was sick." -- Mrs. Vecchio and Ray

 

You let a wolf save your life, and then you pay and pay and pay and pay. -- Fraser.
