Jay Halstead quotes from Chicago P.D.

Halstead

[to Rixton] Uh, hey, um, I'd I'd like to publicly apologize. There were some whispers and some gossip. I ran with it, and I shouldn't have, okay? You know, this this whole nonsense I was leading the charge on this. I'm sorry, man. I had a bad experience with a guy in my unit when I was overseas, who was not who he claimed to be. And that's my problem. That's not yours. You're a solid dude, and a good cop, so whatever happened in the gang unit doesn't matter, all right? Man to man, and to the whole team, um, I'm sorry.

Halstead

[to Lindsay] Who I was back then, I'm not proud of it, and and I know you think that everything's behind, but it's not.

Halstead

I found Morgan's necklace. I wanted you to have it. I'm very sorry.

Halstead

This dark net stuff is pretty rough. I feel like I need a shower.

Halstead

That was so nice. Is he always like that?

Halstead

Look, my current job, I make 7.50 an hour and I have to wear a frickin name tag that says "Hi, I'm security friendly."

Halstead

All right, look, my father and I we never clicked. He didn't want me to enlist. He didn't want me to be a cop. Guy didn't even show up when I graduated from the academy. He was embarrassed. So I learned to keep my distance, and now he's gone. That's it. I'm learning how to deal with it on my own. You don't have to question if I'm all right.

Halstead

A lot of horrible things happened when I was overseas. And I know I can't just, like, flip a switch and just turn that off but I do the work and you learn to deal with the triggers and stress. The war was a part of my life, it's not who I am. Not anymore.

Halstead

That stuff will kill ya now, apparently. Saw an article online.

Lindsay

Well, that is last on the very long list of things that I'm concerned about. [pours coffee into her mug]

Halstead

[holds his mug to her] Pleasssee?

Voight

You ever heard the expression "10% percent of the cops do 90% of the work"?

Halstead

I have.

Voight

Well, this Intelligence Unit is part of the 10%.

Halstead

How long have we worked together, a month? I think it's time we could be honest with each other. Wouldn't you agree?

Lindsay

No.

Halstead

Two things: One, you driving all the time, I'm not down with that.

Lindsay

Seniority rules.

Halstead

I've been on the job longer.

Lindsay

I've been in this unit longer.

Halstead

Okay, look, I feel like a househusband.

Lindsay

Aw. What's the second thing?

Halstead

What's the deal with you and Voight?

Lindsay

This stays between us.

Halstead

Of course.

Lindsay

We went to prom together.

Halstead

I mean, is he your secret dad or something? Put it this way if I were to ask you out, would I have to get his permission first?

Lindsay

[scoffs] Any guy who needs to ask my dad's permission to date me should save himself the trouble.

Halstead

Flight attendant.

Burgess

Uh, yeah, three years, waiting until I got into the police academy.

Halstead

[looks at Burgess disbelievingly] Flight attendant? [Lindsay snickers into her glass]

Burgess

You can break my balls all you want, but I learned more about crowd control and conflict resolution and intimidation tactics traits that will serve me well when you guys detail me up into Intelligence. Hint, hint.

[grin to each other] Oh. Wow.

Halstead

Okay. Noted.

Burgess

Thanks. How about you?

Lindsay

Oh, I just kicked around. Nothing glamorous.

Burgess

You?

Halstead

I was in the military.

Burgess

You see any action?

Halstead

I did. Yeah.

Burgess

Ever see anything like you did today? [Lindsay looks warily at Halstead] I'm sorry. I forget I asked that. That was a stupid question.

Halstead

Rev, open up!

You mind keeping it down?

Halstead

Am I banging on your door? No? Then go back inside.

Lindsay

I used to think that cops under Voight were invincible, and then Jules died. I was holding her hand. As a soldier, how did you deal with it?

Halstead

[looks away uncomfortably] Generally...take it out on those who didn't deserve it.

Ruzek

Hey, Halstead. Any word on Banfill?

Halstead

He's still in the ICU. You seen the counselor yet?

Ruzek

Yeah, this afternoon. You know, I'm gonna send out a memo so people can stop asking me.

Halstead

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who do you think you're talking to? You got 10 minutes on this job.

Ruzek

It's a lot of people have been asking me.

Halstead

Say that next time.
