Otis, Greg Sullivan and others in “Unfinished Business”

Otis

Uh, Mr. Sullivan, um, if you could be any kind of animal, any kind at all, what would you be?

Well, I know what I wouldn't want to be. I wouldn't want to be a Mouch.

Otis

I'm...I'm sorry?

Oh, a Mouch. You know, half man, half couch. It's Mr. McHolland's nickname at this firehouse, am I right?

Mouch

I don't see how that's remotely––

I mean, you must admit that nickname does not inspire leadership. In fact, it implies the opposite laziness, slovenliness.

Otis

Do you care to respond to that, Mouch? Uh, Mr. McHolland?

Mouch

I don't feel the need to dignify Mr. Sullivan's remarks except to say that the nickname that he's referring to is a term of endearment given to me by my coworkers out of friendship and respect.

Well, I guess that's to be expected from Firehouse 51.
