1. This exchange:

Fraser: She shot my hat, Ray.
Vecchio: She shot you in the hat?
Fraser: I can feel air coming in through the hole.
Vecchio: She shot you in the hat.
Fraser: How does it look?
Vecchio: Doesn't look good.
Fraser: We'll have to go home and get my other one.
Vecchio: We can do that, Fraser.
Fraser: Thanks, Ray.

2. This exchange:

[Vecchio and a guy stare each other down at a horse auction.]

Vecchio: You got a problem with something?
Zaleb Carney: You oughta move your foot.
Vecchio: Maybe I don't want to move my foot.
Zaleb Carney: But if you don't move your foot, I can't get to that horse patty.
Vecchio: [looks down, back up, narrows eyes] Why would you want that horse patty?
Zaleb Carney: I'm not telling.
Vecchio: Tell me why you want that horse patty and maybe I'll move my foot.
Zaleb Carney: Never.
Vecchio: I'm a cop.
Zaleb Carney: So what?
Vecchio: Do you want to serve time over a piece of manure?
Zaleb Carney: [narrows eyes, lowers voice] I'd rather go to the chair than talk.
Vecchio: [using the same tone] You know what I just decided? I've just decided you are so nuts I'm gonna let you have that patty.


Conclusion: Oh my God I love Ray Vecchio.

I could not love this show more. Go ahead, show, just try and be more awesome. I dare you so hard.
