Danny quotes from Blue Bloods

Henry

So who died?

Danny

A 33-year-old woman with a four-year-old kid.

Erin

A 40-year-old dermatologist from the upper West Side.

And a 16-year-old in East New York.

Henry

I didn't mean it literally.

You just forgot who was at the table.

Danny

Finding myself making breakfasts and lunches and talking about emotions are things I never really had to do as a father.

I can't picture you in an apron.

Danny

I can't cook a TV dinner, but in many ways it's been the best opportunity of my life. An opportunity that I might not have taken, probably wouldn't have stepped up for if not…

Danny

You were right. I've been all screwed up in the head lately and it's put me on the back foot, and I should have told you but I didn't, so I'm sorry.

Baez

Do you want to talk about it?

Danny

I'm pretty sure I just did talk about it.

Baez

I guess a few drops of blood from a stone is progress.

Danny

What's happening to us?

Erin

Turns out we may have flaws.

Danny

Speak for yourself.

Danny

It's weird, but I still feel like I'm married, you know?

I did too, for a long time.

Danny

When does it stop, feeling like you're married?

When you decide it's okay to start living again.

Danny

Cause when I see a bunch of look-a-like, dress-a-like, dirt bags carrying pipes and bats and sticks and such, I see a gang.

We're a force for good.

Danny

No, you're everything you claim to hate only you're too stupid to see it.

Nicky

So, given no choice, would you put the welfare of your family above the law?

Yes, I would.

Danny

Thank you.

But when the dust settled I would walk down to the local precinct and turn myself in because nobody's above the law, and without the law, nobody is safe.

This is my fault.

Danny

It’s not your fault.

It is my responsibility to keep my staff safe.

Danny

There was nothing you could have done!

Then why am I here?

Danny

I don’t envy you, dealing with that crew every day.

They grow on you.

Danny

Yeah, like a tumor. You think any of them are gonna come forward?

I’d be very surprised. They don’t trust cops.

Danny

We got that.

To be fair, the only time you guys show up is when someone gets shot or someone gets stabbed.

Danny

Not for nothing, but that’s kind of the job description.

It’s not an accusation, Detective. It’s reality.

Sean

Can't we just be like a normal family and you guys just ask us about school or something?

Or talk about the good things that happened this week?

Danny

It's tradition.

Jamie

Because there's almost nothing to learn from success. Failure, on the other hand, is the best teacher you'll ever have.

Danny

Amir's friend ID'd the shooter.

Erin

Yeah, but DeSilva was already in the back seat of the squad car when he was identified as the shooter.

Danny

So what?

Erin

So identifying him while he's in the backseat of a police car already handcuffed is suggestive. There's no way I can get a conviction.

Danny

We having company or something kid?

Jamie

Um...

What's going on?

Erin

Oh.

Eddie

Hey everyone!

Hi

Henry

Hello

Danny

Hello

Nicky

Hi

Officer Janko.

Jamie

Just "Eddie" today dad.

Eddie

Actually not "just Eddie" today.

Jamie

Well since this morning, the future Mrs Jameson Reagan.

Erin

What! Get Out!

Henry

You're kidding!

Nicky

Oh my goodness! Congratulations!

Danny

Way to go.

Danny

About time.

Danny

I didn't know anything

Well I'll be dammed

Henry

Francis

Congratulations

Jamie

Thank you

Erin

Wow

Eddie

Right

Danny

Just this morning

Uh yeah

Danny

Wow

Well at least I know one wedding present you're getting. Your choice of precincts to transfer to.

Erin

Well gee Dad every bride's dream

Hey. I'm just sayin'.

Jamie

Actually, uh, we both really like the house that we're already in.

Oh

Henry

But you know that you can't work together anymore.

Jamie

Well, that's what we thought, too, Pop.

Henry

You thought

Eddie

Well, assumed.

Jamie

But I looked it up. And there's nothing in the Patrol Guide-- or any of the books, for that matter-- says married cops can't be partners on the job.

Henry

Nowhere

Jamie

No

Henry

Wow

Jamie

But I knew that you and Dad would be for that rule, even if it wasn't actually a rule.

But the rule does make enormous sense.

Nicky

Why?

Well, a couple partnered together on the job can create conflicts.

Eddie

Yes but

But?

Jamie

Hear us out. Consider if two people willing to swear the following to each other could still be good partners on the job.

Danny

Swear the following what?

Eddie

Vows that we wrote to each other

Danny

You wrote vows already? - Okay.

Jamie

Turns out she's been working on 'em for a while, so I just

Eddie

Turns out so has he.

Jamie

So.

Eddie

I will always have your back.

Jamie

If you fall behind, I'll wait up.

Eddie

I'll earn your respect, and pay you respect every day we have.

Jamie

I'll be your scout, your night watchman, your cavalry.

Eddie

Your medic, your chaplain in our army of two.

Jamie

No retreat, no surrender.

Eddie

No retreat, no surrender. [chuckles]

Jamie

You can count on me.

Eddie

And you can count on me.

Welcome to our family, Eddie.

Eddie

Thank you. Dad.

Danny

Knowing my old man, he doesn’t want to waste the additional manpower on his own safety. Right?

Gormley

Right, so don’t go blabbing about this over Sunday dinner.

Jamie

Sean’s trying to be a problem so that Jack will decide to stick around and keep his kid brother in line.

Danny

And you know this how, Mr. Freud?

Jamie

Because I did the same thing when you left for the Marines.

Danny

Well, what happened? You get a B-minus on your test?

Jamie

A-minus. It was a dark time.

Erin

You know how many times you and Jamie have come to me for search warrants or subpoena and you haven’t had everything to get it?

Danny

About as many times as you’ve said no.
