Dog River, Saskatchwan - The rural
situation comedy CORNER GAS/CTV/2004+ featured the residents of a small
prairie community in Canada where not much happens.
The town has two full-time police officers:
- Lorne Cardinal as senior officer Davis Quinton who enjoys the peace and quiet of Dog River.
His philosophy is "the town is paying us to do nothing, so that's what I give
them." When he has the chance, Davis likes to sleep in his patrol car.
- Tara Spencer-Nairn as Karen Pelly, the rookie police officer dislikes the peace and quiet of Dog River
and is always hoping for some action.
| Davis: |
Proper billy-club use Karen,
that's the secret. I find it helps if you give your billy-club a name. You
know what I call mine? |
| Karen: |
Billy? |
| Davis: |
Anyways, a billy-club is a cop's
best friend. |
| Karen: |
I thought you said a gun was a
cop's best friend. |
| Davis: |
Well, a gun is more like a cop's
lover. There's some things you tell your gun that you'd never tell a
lover. And sometimes your lover and your best friend don't get along. Or
maybe you go out with one and the other gets mad at you 'cause you didn't
go out with it! |
| Karen: |
You're divorced right? |
|
| Karen: |
"... and any firing
of the sidearm shall warrant a full and thorough internal report to be
executed and filed by a fellow officer." |
| Davis: |
How are we supposed
to know what's right and what's wrong, when they keep adding new rules?
|
| Karen: |
This was published
in 1964. |
| Davis: |
I wasn't even a cop
in '64, how am I supposed to know that stuff? |
|
| Karen: |
Where'd you get the
cash for that stun gun? I thought you were gonna use the surplus to buy
bullet proof vests. |
| Davis: |
I saved a little
money by buying bullet "resistant" vests. |
|
| Karen: |
Davis? Come in,
Davis. |
| Davis: |
Go ahead, Karen.
|
| Karen: |
We got a 10-19 in
progress. |
| Davis: |
Trouble at the Mini
Putt? |
