[raising a glass to Mills] To Peter Mills! A real smoke eater even though he couldn't hack it at truck.

A firefighter brother recently asked me, what makes a good squad guy. He said, "Hey, Randy McHolland, what makes––"
[interrupts Mouch] Hold up, hold up. Mouch, why do you keep referring to yourself in the third person?
Ok, look, I'm trying to subtly reinforce my real name so you guys start calling me that. 'Cause now that I'm interim president, I don't think a nickname that means "half man and half couch" is appropriate anymore.
Then why don't you just say, hey guys quit calling me Mouch.
You're right. I should've.

[to Otis] You and Katie hanging out, having fun gettin' all hetero on each other. And then like most relationships, it ends badly. And Katie goes to Severide and she's like, [feigns sobbing] Otis broke my heart, Kelly, he broke my heart! [mimicks knife-slashing the throat] That's how that'll end, all right?
[wearing a firefighter's oxygen mask] I feel like I'm trapped in a fishbowl!
Lieutenant, do you have a second?
Yeah, what's up.
I would like to ask Katie out on a date and I was hoping for your blessing.
[Severide takes out the chainsaw and tests it out, holding the blade in front of Otis.]
Just checking the spark arrestor. Wanna make sure the motor is running good.
[timidly] That makes sense.
Um. [feigns a cough] What were we talkin' about?
Nah, uh, let me go check and see if lunch is ready.
[Otis starts to walk away in fear, stops and turns back to Severide.]
I wanna ask your sister out, ok? I have nothing but the best of intentions. Do I have your permission?
[stares at Otis] Sure. [pats him on the shoulder]
Awesome! 'Cause I'm telling I am the ultimate––
[interrupts] Take "yes" as an answer, Otis.
[about Donna] Nice lady.
You're right.
And you just let her walk right out of here?
What was I supposed to do?
Ask her out.
What?
Chief, you didn't notice that she was flirting with you??
[walks into lounge] Oh my god. What is that smell?
[deadpan] Impending gastric distress.
[Cruz appears behind the counter in the kitchen area.]
CCruz
[sarcastically] Haha, very funny.
[raises eyebrows] Cruz is cooking??? Since when?
Since Mills jumped to squad and we haven't got a replacement candidate. We all drew straws.
We all lost.
CCruz
Hey! This is authentic Dominican cuisine, all right? Just because you can't appreciate the aroma doesn't mean that the taste isn't gonna blow your hair back, huh? You just gotta broaden your horizons a little.
Yeah, broaden them all the way to Manny's for a Reuben sandwich.
You ok?
Yeah. Used up another one of my nine lives.
Pretty sure you're in double digits, man.
CCandidate
Why would anybody target a firefighter's sister? I mean, we're the good guys.
Sometimes the world is upside down and there's no reason why.
SShay
Okay, but there are better ways than getting your ass suspended, you know?
[deadpan] Yeah. But you and me would have eventually gotten into a huge fight sooner or later, you know, ending in an ugly divorce, and the whole thing.
What's the prognosis? Did he take you off the injured list?
Yeah, just don't expect me to break any pass receiving records.
CCruz
I'm sure that this chick is awesome and all, but having a woman around is really gonna change things.
SShay
Oh, gee, thanks.
CCruz
You know what I mean. Having a woman in the truck, you don't know what goes on in there, the jokes we crack.
The smells we produce.
SShay
I can imagine.
Nope. No, you can't.
Just to show you I can be one of the guys, I brought donuts this morning.
Fantastic! [opens the box to find all the donuts gone]
They were delicious.
[Cruz, Otis and Herrmann laugh.]
So there are no donuts?
[to Jones] As a Candidate, you're here to learn. That means keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut.
What am I dealing with here?
Jones?
Yeah.
She's smart, she's aggressive, she's talented. But she also has a truly massive chip on her shoulder. She might make a great firefighter someday but it'll take more patience than I have. I tried to bounce her from the academy but her big-shot daddy put the kibosh on that one.
You're telling me this now??
You just asked now.
[Casey glares at Severide and throws a peanut at him in mock anger.]
