I--

[ Excuse him he has to pick his jaw up off the floor. ]

I would never--! Ray, I didn't mean it as an insult. Certainly not! Only that...

[ Think of words, Fraser. They're useful things. ]

Only that statistically speaking the hair and the car have attracted more male attention than female, and...

I'm sorry if I offended you.

[kickem]

Yeah.

Well. You called my hair gay. Who says that to a buddy?

[dogsled]

[ A little hard. ] I didn't consider it to be an insult.

[kickem]

Sayin' I'm not attractive to chicks is an insult.

[dogsled]

[ Long pause. ]

You're right, of course. I'm sorry, Ray.

[kickem]

Good. Don't you forget it.

Maybe I'll let you stay a little longer.

[dogsled]

I don't know, Ray. I'd be an imposition, wouldn't I? Perhaps just for Christmas.

[kickem]

You may have just dented my manliness, Fraze, but you're still all right.

Stay.

[dogsled]

Mm. I'm not so sure. Your manliness may not be able to stand my constant companionship.

[kickem]

S'alright. I'm sure I'll find some ways to assert it.

[dogsled]

Oh? And how do you imagine you'll be doing that?

[kickem]

Alpha male. Only way.

[dogsled]

What does that entail, exactly?

[kickem]

Y'know. Bein' alpha. Like uh. Assertin' dominance. That's me, Fraser; Alpha male, nf.

[dogsled]

I see. No, of course--I only mean... Just how do you mean to assert dominance over me? It isn't exactly... Well.

[kickem]

I do that every day. It's like uh, like you're the sidekick.

[dogsled]

Name one occasion.

[kickem]

Look, Fraser, that's not important. Just remember that you gotta respect.

[dogsled]

But what if I'm the dominant one?

[kickem]

You think you're the alpha? Seriously?

[dogsled]

Well... Well, I am!

[kickem]

Hah! Okay, I get it. It's a joke. Funny. You had me for a sec, Fraser.

[dogsled]

I'm not joking. I mean... I mean I'm... We're... I'm confused.

[kickem]

You're confused about not joking?

[dogsled]

No I... I can't imagine you topping anything, Ray. Certainly not me.
