Hank Voight quotes from Chicago P.D.

Voight

Look, I know you're gonna do what you're gonna do, but this is your neighborhood, this is your families getting shot up. And we got the offender, he's in custody. So now this is about nothing.

Voight

Relationships count for something in an interview, until they don't, which is something I'll determine.

Voight

Never hold back a shining star. It's your time, Antonio.

Voight

[to Burgess] I'm not looking for the "Yes" police, I'm looking for the real police, which we both know you are.

Voight

Torching the place is one way to get out of paying the rest of your lease.

Voight

You wanted this to happen, Antonio. You're just too scared to admit it.

Voight

Well knowing doesn't mean a damn thing so go out there and find something.

Voight

Listen, it has been a very long few days. With a lot of pain. A lot of anger. I get it. And I don't expect these emotions to just disappear overnight. But going forward, we need to be a team. One team. No more fighting. No more crap.

Voight

It's my job to keep you alive, to look out for you.

Voight

Sooner or later, the son's gonna break from the father to make his own mark.

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%.

Key witness was found dead. Is that right?

Voight

Something like that.

I am informed, however, in how you got reinstated. You were supposed to be a pipeline for I.A. into some heavy hitters, but you haven't given us a damn thing.

Voight

I'll make a move on him soon.

Hey. Don't jerk me off with "soon." You work for me, Hank. You work for me! Do you understand?!

Voight

I work for Chicago. You understand? Chicago. [looks at the city skyline] Look at that. I remember when I was in grade school, the teacher read us a story by some precious little writer from a long time ago. I think he's English or something. And he was bagging on this place after visiting here. Know what he called it? He called it "A city inhabited by savages." [looks seriously at Gradishar] We move when I say we move.

Voight

You like working in this unit, you keep it in your pants.

Halstead

I didn't know it was out.

Voight

Erin's off-limits. End of discussion.

Lindsay

Hey, we need to talk.

Voight

Come on. [he ushers Lindsay into his office and she shuts the door] Yeah?

Lindsay

The overprotective father thing was fine when I was a teenager, but I don't need you looking out for me anymore.

Voight

It's Halstead I'm looking out for. I've seen what happens to the guys you date.

Lindsay

What is that supposed to mean?

Voight

You've left a string of broken hearts behind you since you were 15. I need Halstead 100% effective, not throwing pebbles at your window at 3:00 in the morning.

Lindsay

You don't get to tell me who I can and can't hang out with on my personal time.

Voight

My unit, my rules. You wanna date a cop? There are plenty other districts out there.

Voight

You were just going to walk up, shoot Ross in the middle of the street, huh? Let me ask you something. How stupid are you?

I got a damn good insurance policy.
