Never lost anyone before. Does it get any easier?
BobbyNo.
Look, people die and that's part of the gig, right? Your problem is, you're looking at your job like it's a long-term relationship. They're one-night stands, man. In that moment they mean everything to you. Once morning comes, [snaps] it's on to the next one.
BobbyIf you weren't doing this what would you be doing?
Fighter pilot, Top Gun, call sign: Shogun.
BobbyWhat about you Hen?
Editorial cartoonist, The New Yorker. [Chimney and Bobby stare at her] I have a lot to say.
BobbyYou draw?
No, it's a dream, it's not supposed to attainable. [looks at Chimney] Top Gun? You can barely drive, you rebar head.
Alright, Buckeroo, if you were not a member of the LAFD, what would you be doing?
Uh, I don't know. I'm not getting fired am I?
That's inevitable.
He'd be a golden retriever.
Bartender. No, no, a bouncer at a bar.
Bouncer at a strip club.
[Before the team splits up and goes into the collapsed hotel building]
BobbyListen up, here's how you make it to the end of the day. You don't worry about the things that you can't do anything about. Focus on one task at a time. I can't order you guys to go inside that building and I'm not gonna judge if you decide not to.
Hen, you've got a kid.
Yeah, and I'd hope if someone whose job it was to save him would do it, no matter what.
[Bobby and the 118 tend to an ill protester from a right-wing group.]
[sees Hen kneeling over him] Oh hell no. [looks at Bobby] You do it.
BobbySir, I am not a trained paramedic. I can't intubate you, they can.
I'm fine.
Sir, you're not fine. Your bowel is probably obstructed. The contents of your colostomy bag are backing into your system. You're about to choke on your own waste. You will suffocate and die.
Get away!
BobbySir, if you refuse care we cannot administer it by force.
[looks at Eddie's name tag] What about him? Diaz. What kind of name is that?
My father's from Mexico. My mother's Swedish. I can help you out with the Swedish half but no one told me which half that is.
Bobby[annoyed] Would you like me to call you another paramedic team so you can have an all-white one?
[Man nods and starts choking]
He's gonna aspirate.
[Man vomits on the ground]
Actual diarrhea of the mouth. Outstanding.
The problem is after thirty years of marriage I can't get thirty seconds of attention from my husband! It's like I'm invisible. But I'm not invisible. I am here, damn it! See me, Norman?!?! [strips naked for everyone to see] See me now?!?!?
Oh for god's sake.
BobbyDefinitely not invisible
Can someone find me this Norman before she does something crazy...er???
You're worried about tomorrow. Buck's first day back.
BobbyWell, he has signed every liability waiver and release form the department threw at him. Pretty sure we could drop a piano on Buck's head and he wouldn't be able to sue the city for it.
[jokingly] Is that something you planning on doing?
BobbyI don't know what I'm doing. Well, he just.....he doesn't think things through. He acts, reacts, and that leaves the rest of us to have to deal with the fallout.
Yeah, and the hurt feelings. Look, you are allowed to be angry with Buck and worried about this decision that he's made, but you care about the kid. Don't let the other stuff make you lose sight of that.
I guess it's like the uniform is my costume. You know, I put it on and suddenly I'm brave, and I'm strong, I make a difference. Feels like without it I'm not much of anything.
BobbyBuck, you saved two lives without the uniform. It's not a costume, it's who you are.
It's nothing. It's... I'm fine. Just needed a place to let off some steam. Things got a little out of––
BobbyControl? That's what this is about, right? You're the guy who always keeps it together, no matter what life throws at you. You shake it off, keep moving forward.
Lots of people have it worse.
BobbyEddie, I just wanna make sure you don't think you have to lose everything...before you can allow yourself to feel anything.
No, Christopher needs me to be in control. I'm the only parent he's got left, and I can't let him down again.
BobbyWhen did you let him down before?
God, when did I not let him down? I wasn't there when he was a baby. Stayed away too long, and it broke his mother. Shannon ran away, I...and I couldn't stop her. I couldn't bring her back home. So I brought him here. And let her back into his life.
BobbyThat's what Christopher wanted.
Yeah, but... but I knew better. She already left once, broke his heart. You know, I was so afraid she was gonna do it again. She did.
BobbyShe died, Eddie.
Yeah, after she told me she wanted...a divorce. And I'm...I'm still mad. How stupid is that? I'm angry at a dead person and at myself because I forgave her...for everything, and...and it wasn't enough. I wasn't enough.
Guys, I... I found it. [looks excitedly at the meteor inside the hole] All the way from outer space. Should I grab it?
BobbyDoesn't belong to you, Buck.
It belongs in a museum.
I remember the drama when my sister was applying to college. Think that's half the reason why I decided to join the army.
BobbyWell, you tell a 17-year-old kid that their future depends on writing 600 perfect words, the pressure's gonna get to 'em.
I don't remember what my college essay was about.
Why don't you call Maddie and ask her what she wrote for you?
9-1-1, what's your emergency?
I'm blue!
Feelings of sadness and depression are common during the holidays. Let me direct you to the mental health hotline.
No, damn it! I'm literally blue!
[Bobby and the 118 arrive]
BobbyLAFD. Open up, Please.
This is not okay. Ouch. Jeez.
BobbyOkay, ma'am, ma'am, please take a seat and tell us what's going on.
What's going on? Look at me. I'm a Smurf, and I need a root canal.
Pulse is steady. Pupils are normal. How long has this been going on?
The teeth since last week. The "Avatar" look since I woke up. And on top of that, I have to go to work today. On Christmas! I mean, what kind of loser has to work on Christmas? [looks at the 118] Right. Sorry.
BobbyMa'am, do you mind if my guys here take a look around? [nods at Buck and Eddie]
Oh, that's fine. You very handsome men, please go look through my messy apartment. Because this wasn't humiliating enough already.
He calls me his little buddy and he touches me.
Bobby[gives him a look]
No not like that, but still
