Garrett quotes from Blue Bloods

Garrett

Just for the record, you've done hundreds of interviews, Frank. I'd think by now you'd know how to hold your tongue.

I'm doing that right now.

Garrett

When you and Donald Stein part after a meeting, who kisses whose ring?

Neither, it is a bear hug and a my best to your family.

Garrett

Most north eastern liberal arts institutions are not known for respect or appreciation for agencies of law enforcement.

Preaching to the choir is for showboats and sissies.

Battle for Peace is an oxymoron.

Garrett

Emphasis on moron.

Sid

The barricaded situation is over. The hostage was released unharmed, and the perp, the perp gave himself up without incident.

Good, I want the duty captain's 49 when it comes in. Sid, you come up with anything on what happened at my church?

Sid

I had CSU dust the rectory lock box for prints. Uh, they lifted some latents. When latent ran the prints, they got a hit on one Mason Reyes, 20, from Bay Ridge.

Priors?

Sid

He was arrested for grand larceny two years ago, assault a year ago, and drug possession eight months ago when he was 19. He was released on bail. You want to know who posted it?

Who?

Sid

Father Quinn. You want Reyes picked up?

No, not yet.

You're up late.

Garrett

Nicky's been arrested for drug possession. Cocaine. Apparently, two grams were found in the car she was driving. Plain sight. There were three other kids in the car with her, including the kid the car was registered to.

Anyone claim ownership?

Garrett

No. She's being held at the 5-1 in the Bronx.

Garrett

But your feud with the Bronx DA? For him, Christmas just came early.

Well, there's no way that son of a bitch is gonna use my granddaughter for headlines.

Garrett

That's gonna take a team of wild horses.

Then put one together.

Garrett

I'll see what I can do.

Sid

I know Captain Bennett at the 5-1. I'll give him a call.

Thank you.

Garrett

You know you can't go up there. There's no detour, no excuse, no piece of business you can invent that has you just dropping by the 5-1.

I know that.

Garrett

You'll play nice?

Right up until nice doesn't work.

Garrett

I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't point out the risk.

Maybe you should take the afternoon off then.

Why are you lurking by the elevator?

Garrett

I'm not lurking.

You lurking always means bad news or a plea to keep my mouth shut.

Garrett

So the recruits were in a tough spot.

Relatively speaking.

Garrett

Relative to what?

Being under fire in 120 degree heat in the middle of the desert is a tough spot, taking a test in an air conditioned classroom, not so much.

Garrett

I made my mea culpa like you would have.

How so?

Garrett

Like I was scraping out my eyes with a rusty fork, so thanks for the years of leading by example.

Either way, AG or the press, we end up looking like weasels, and by we I mean me.

Garrett

So we sit on our hands.

Not saying that, but I don’t want to make some kind of clever move that backfires and ends up washing the Mayor's hands for him either.

Garrett

You know what this is about, right?

A Christian and Muslim walk into a bagel store.

Garrett

We both knew this issue would land on our desk sooner or later.

It didn't just land, it was placed by the mayor.

Garrett

The mayor wants you to handle the announcement solo.

Sid

Poole never missed a victory lap in his life.

Garrett

Until now.

It's about me taking the weight for six dead bodies.

Sid

But we caught the guy.

Yeah, but it comes soaked in blood and the mayor wants to keep his shoes clean.

If you think you are owed an apology, I'm sorry.

Garrett

I never thought, “owed.”

Well, whatever, there it is.

Garrett

Take it or leave it.
