Due South 3x05 - Seeing is Beliving
Firstly, Fraser doesn’t maneuver himself into this position of power on purpose: it’s an accident. But, secondly, the instant he realizes what’s happened, he takes advantage of it: “Ray, when you hear me say the word ‘cauliflower’ …” So this isn’t planned, but it’s also obviously extremely pressing.
Fraser wants Ray to be polite. He may also want a way to derail Ray’s temper (and notice, pursuant to the motif I’ve been tracking, that Ray is in the middle of a threat of physical violence when Fraser cauliflowers him), but mostly what he wants is politeness. An apology, and his own chance to accept that apology without being interrupted.
- So, you have spared.
- Yes Fraser, I have spared.

K:”This is not the Yukon Territories”
F:”It’s the Northwest Territory or the Yukon”
Silly Ray, Dief doesn’t want coffee. Give him a donut!
On the side-note I really love Ray’s apartament.
