Erin Lindsay quotes from Chicago P.D.

Lindsay

[after Dawson holds up his fist for a fist bump] Do me one favor: Do not give me one of those open-fingered explosion hands that people do. I hate that. If it's your thing, I'd rather high five.

Lindsay

[glares at Dawson] Never again.

Lindsay

Love makes us do crazy things. We know we can't control it, and we spend our whole lives chasing it.

Lindsay

[after interviewing a woman who ran a battered women's shelter] They name parks and streets after politicians in this city. Women like that are the real heroes and nobody ever knows their names.

Lindsay

[shows Halstead her paper target during firearms requalification] You can frame this if you want, you know, for younger generations to marvel.

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?

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.

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.

Hey, um, I didn't know where else to go, and, um, and I don't...no one's heard anything. I don't know what to do.

Lindsay

Hey, we're gonna find her, okay?

Yeah. [steps into Lindsay's hug]

Lindsay

I promise. We've got really good guys on this. And I know it's scary, and I know your sister's alone, but we're gonna find her.

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.

Lindsay

I want the bad guys to get what's coming to them.

Well, sometimes they do. Do you believe in karma?

Lindsay

I believe in payback.

Just a little unsolicited advice, just because I've been there...be careful 'cause payback is the biggest bitch when it consumes you.

Lindsay

Would you spit out whatever you're trying to spit out?

Halstead

Okay. Maybe this last month I don't like being the guy you use to get a rise out of your father figure.

Lindsay

You wish I was using you.

Halstead

Oh, I'm serious. You have issues. You need to work them out. Work them out without me.

Lindsay

I repeat, we haven't done anything. And if you want to keep it that way...

Halstead

Hey, that'd be great.

Lindsay

All right, perfect.

Halstead

Fantastic.

Lindsay

You done?

Halstead

I was done long before this conversation started.

Lindsay

Really? Then shut up.

Halstead

If they have a private security cam at the lot, I bet you we get at least a plate off the escalade.

Lindsay

Genius.

Halstead

I am. Thank you.

Lindsay

Nadia's first day.

Halstead

Can she even type? [Lindsay looks at him] Did we look into that at all?

Lindsay

Yeah. She can, smart ass. [Halstead shrugs] Do not hit on her.

Halstead

[in mock offense] Nadia?? What kind of a dog do you think I am?

Lindsay

For the last 10 years, you've told me I.A. is a bunch of rats who hide behind their badge instead of standing in front of it.

Voight

And I meant it. Cops who go after other cops are the lowest. I never did that. I played a game with them to get my job back. A game I won, I might add.
