Chicago Fire quotes

Otis

[after getting drenched in India pale ale during a call, annoyed] Taking a beer shower sounds great. 'till you actually do it.

Wait, we're actually married.

So said the judge.

That makes me so happy.

Me too.

Makes me think we can get through anything.

Good, because we can.

You can't take the fight out of a soldier.

What you did for Anna... It's the bravest thing I ever saw.

Can I take my monkey with me?

Of course you can. Here, You can take everything with you. Your new room... It's so big and sunny, and all your toys can fit in there. You remember when you first came to live with us? How brave and strong you were? And everything turned out okay, didn't it? [Trying to pretend she's not crying] Well, I think that if you are really brave and strong today, that this new home, everything's gonna turn out even better, okay? And we're not going anywhere, I will always be there for you, anytime you want, for the rest of your life. I love you, I will always love you, you hear me?

Our family are not all here, I get that, and several of them are hurt. They may be suffering but they are not weak, they are among the strongest mean and women that I know. That is what it is to be one of us, to be a firefighter, to be able to change the fate of the people that we meet. That means when we turn up at a call, we don't see strangers, we see mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. It means that when we see others running out of that fire, we run in. The job we've taken on is to make a difference. What some in this house have done this week, sacrificing their own health, their own happiness for that of another, that is the true meaning of what we do.

[sees Otis trying to get Herrmann unstuck from a mousetrap] Hm, couldn't resist the cheese, huh?

You try setting that medieval contraption!

I'm lucky enough to know how it feels to hug my own child and tell him that everything's gonna be okay. And how I remember it It's the best feeling in the world. So do that for your daughter, for your granddaughter, for yourself. Because, these moments you don't get a whole lot of time before they're over, you know.

[to Dawson and Casey] Sometimes, it is better to live with the pain for a little while. Process it, you know? Losing Louie was a real blow. There is no harm in admitting that to yourselves.

[about Severide] Behind his back we call him FILO. First in, last out.

Ok, so he's tough but can he lead?

Is he a cheerleader? No. Would any of us follow him anywhere? Damn right we would.

Sitting and waiting, not really in the firefighter's skillset.

I work for Hank Voight so I can handle a little attitude, Chief.

Mouch

It is better to give than to receive.

Said every sucker in the history of the world.

Mouch

You wanted to see us?

Yeah. I have three questions. [reads off notepad] Are you going to Kenny Fallwell's cocktail party? If so, are your wives going? And what are they wearing?

Mouch

You wrote those down.

I just hung up with Donna. She wanted me to ask.

Well, yes, yes, and we will have Cindy and Trudy text her.

Severide

Hey, I know you got the Alderman thing, and that pretty much keeps your hands full, but you ever wanna be a chief?

Not gunning for it, but down the road, sure. You?

Severide

I don't know. Lot of responsibility.

Brett, what's going on?

Okay, look. I am batting about a zero with men lately. Good men, bad men, all men. I'm either pushing them away, or they're pushing me, and then I look at you, and I think, "Wow, what she has is perfect."

You know how many guys I had to date before I met Casey? There was Jake, who cheated on me with his high school girlfriend, and Logan, whose parents could not approve of a Latino. And finally Dr. Mike. He was about as romantic as a German teacher. Look, the point is there were a lot of really bad breakups before Casey. Your Casey is out there, but you don't have to change who you are to find him.
