Benton Fraser: It snowed for a day and a night and a day. And when I couldn’t talk any more, I took her fingers and I put them in my mouth, to keep them warm. I don’t remember losing consciousness but I do remember being aware that I was dying. And then I heard her voice. She was reciting a poem, over and over. I couldn’t make out the words but I couldn’t stop listening. She had the most beautiful voice. It was as though I had known her forever, across a thousand lifetimes. (edit) Ray Vecchio: Chuckles ain't no clown, that's for sure.
Benton Fraser: Jolly?
Ray Vecchio: Yeah, he's got quite a history. (edit) Benton Fraser: Your cabin burned down last week.
Bob Fraser: Mmm. Well, I don't use it much anymore. (edit) Ray Vecchio: You got a woman in there?
Benton Fraser: Yes.
Ray Vecchio: Heh heh heh. Way to go, man! Way to go! You got an actual woman. You. (edit) Vendor: Hey, mister! Mister! Take a look. Twenty bucks for genuine Eskimo soapstone sculpture.
Benton Fraser: Actually this isn't soapstone. It's not even stone. It's soap. And you might be curious to discover that the Inuit are not indigenous to Taiwan. (edit)

Benton Fraser takes one of 'something like' 82 sick days that he is owed, to spend it with Victoria. (edit)
