Chicago Holiday: Part 1 (1994)

David Marciano: Detective Ray Vecchio

Quotes 

• Det. Ray Vecchio : So what's the emergency?

  Fraser : Well, I've been assigned to escort the daughter of Canada's senior trade negotiator.

  Det. Ray Vecchio : The one in the green dress dancing with the doofus?

  Fraser : He's the American ambassador's son.

  Det. Ray Vecchio : Looks like a very painful experience.

  Fraser : Well, dancing with the Americans often is, Ray. Speaking politically, of course, not personally.

• Jack Huey : [on the walkie-talkie]  There's no sign of Beets.

  Det. Ray Vecchio : How can you see anything? I can't even see my hand in front of my face!

  Jack Huey : I hope we're not wasting our time.

  Louis Gardino : My source says he'll be here, he'll be here.

  Det. Ray Vecchio : Yeah, the only problem is, we'll be dead by then from secondhand smoke.

  [Gardino lights a cigarette] 

  Det. Ray Vecchio : Oh, yeah, that's it, light up another one! God forbid you should consider somebody else's lungs! How do you put up with this guy?

  [Huey pulls out a huge cigar] 

  Det. Ray Vecchio : Oh, great.

• Harding Welsh : Look, Detective, let's say the list exists. If Eddie Beets has it, he controls everything coming into the west side. Now, Detective Gardino, if you had just seized control of the entire west side, would your first act be to go dance in leather underwear?

  Det. Ray Vecchio : Perhaps Detective Gardino's the wrong person to ask, sir.
