Erin quotes from Blue Bloods

Erin

Pop told me I took the press conference personally. I was expecting you to act more like a protective father than the P.C.

And what do you think?

Erin

That my mistake was acting like a respectful daughter, letting you have the last word.

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.

How many times is that son of a bitch going to send you to take his heat?

Erin

You mean the District Attorney?

Yeah, if he’s going to pursue this ridiculous marijuana policy he ought to have the balls to show up himself.

Erin

Well, in that case, the right son of a bitch is here. It’s my policy, not his.

Erin

Every once in a while, as often as we can, there needs to be a green zone.

Nicky

But how do you just put aside whatever…

Erin

With a lot of effort because it’s important. Because it may just be the best tradition this family has.

Erin

He’s thirty, Anthony.

Anthony

Okay, how old is she?

Erin

Twenty-two.

Anthony

Is he a good guy? Is he nice?

Erin

He’s thirty.

Anthony

Does it seem like he treats her good?

Erin

It seems like he’s thirty.

Danny

You're not going anywhere, are you?

Erin

Nope. And when Dad calls, you promise to pick up?

Danny

He won't call. Bet you 20 bucks.

Erin

You're on.

Anthony

You both need to change the playbook.

Erin

What does that mean?

Anthony

You always dig your heels in and won't listen to anyone and think you're always right. And you. I know why this case got under your skin but you can't come in here guns blazing and with no respect for the DA's office or the position Erin's in. Neither of you listens to the others. So what the two of you need to do is talk it out and you'll see that you're both wrong.

Since when are you shilling for the governor?

Erin

I'm not shilling.

Well, lobbying for.

Erin

A couple of months ago I asked him to put through a sex trafficking bill.

Asked, or traded for?

Maria

Danny's having doubts.

Erin

Doubts? Why?

Maria

Because when we arrested her she swore up and down she's not guilty.

Erin

Don't they all?

Maria

That's what I said.

Erin

What am I missing here? What's different about this one?

Danny

I believed her, that's what.

Anthony

And who the hell is she?

Erin

High priced defense attorney for guilty clients.

I see you still haven't changed. You're still a cold hearted bitch.

Erin

You know who's not angry when they lose? People who are used to losing. Losers.

Nicky

Where did you get that? G. Gordon Liddy?

Erin

No. Much closer to home.

You're lawyering me. I hate that.

Erin

You're patronizing me. I hate that.

So you're just following orders, is that it?

Erin

I'm just doing my job.

Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Henry

So how long was Detective Gee on the job before he retired?

Danny

23, 24 years.

Henry

Then he goes civilian and then he comes back?

Danny

You know. You miss the rush.

Eddie

Oh, I so don't get that.

Danny

Why?

Eddie

You're a pro athlete, sure.

Jamie

Or you're a geezer rock band going on a farewell tour.

Jamie

Matadors? A lot of them start their so-called final appearances in their 30s, keep going till they're 50.

Eddie

But that's the same thing! The rush of the crowd. Cops, we don't get a rush of the crowd. We get a crowd screaming "Get the hell outta here!"

Maybe it's the satisfaction of service. Some of us find a nugget most days.

Eddie

Well, I guess there's that.

Yeah. You don't think that's possible?

Eddie

No, I'm sure it's possible.

Nicky

What's the thing you say to me all the time? Something, something, a day in your life

Erin

Find something you love to do...

Nicky

And you'll never work a day in your life. -

There you go.

Eddie

Uh-huh.

Sean

I think I'm with Eddie on this one. I mean, there are a lot of things that I really love to do, and they don't really pay.

Danny

Not true. They're paying knuckleheads on ESPN right now for skateboarding and playing video games.

Henry

So there's hope for you yet.

Sean

Ha, ha.

Eddie

I just mean it feels like a very long time since I had an outcome that felt like voilà.

Jamie

What, like, rescuing a cat from a tree type thing?

Or reuniting a scared little kid with his family?

Eddie

Well yeah.

Well, see? There's the nugget.

Jamie

Yeah, forget voilà .

Erin

We're both in a business where no one walks away all, "Yes!"

The only victories are in making it a little less terrible for somebody.

Jamie

Taking a rock out of their backpack.

Danny

And when you can truly say things could've been worse well, sometimes that's the rush.

I'm good.

Erin

You're good? Walking around, breathing, just surviving, that's your bar?

I set my own bar. I ain't gonna be no cop.

A Reagan in crisis only goes to one place, and I knew this church was your favorite. How are you doing?

Erin

Honestly, if I had been separated from Nicky for the first five years of her life, I don't know that I could ever get over it.

You're the strongest woman I know.

Erin

I wish I was as tough as everyone thinks I am.

It's okay to ask for help, you know.

Erin

What do you think I'm doing here?
