Trudy Platt quotes from Chicago P.D.

Platt

Overtime is like gold around here.

Platt

[to Burgess] I can name at least two detectives, both married, and a stable's worth of patrolmen who have confided in me their desire to take you to the futon, hard.

Platt

[to Burgess] You're pissed. You're miserable. You want a new partner. I get it, but, Burgess, it is not that easy. You're just gonna have to suck it up.

Platt

[to Jay, shows Will up to the squad room] Thought they were rousting vagrants when this one stumbled in.

Dawson

Morning, sunshine.

Platt

[unamused] Funny.

Platt

Hey, Olinsky, department's pushing back on these expense reports you turned in.

Olinsky

[to Ruzek] You owe me 27 bucks.

Ruzek

No, no, no. Nobody told me that we got to go out of pocket on stakeouts.

Platt

Is that so? Oh, great. Order some caviar and lobster tails next time, then.

Platt

Hey, Turner and Hooch, get over here.

Atwater

I better be Turner.

Burgess

What is it?

Platt

Need a photo.

Atwater

Because we found a body. If this is for the Tribune, my mama might want a couple––

Platt

For your new I.D. badge, Einstein.

Atwater

So what's the scoop, Sarge?

Burgess

Yeah, what's the scoop?

Atwater

If Voight got arrested, what were the charges?

Burgess

Yeah, they're not gonna take the unit from him, will they? He actually likes us.

Platt

You're like two washerwomen from the old country. Why don't you take your laundry down to the river?

Ruzek

[grabs Burgess' arm] Hey, listen. Come with me. [to Platt] We need her today.

Atwater

What about me?

Ruzek

Don't really have the curves I'm looking for, Atwater. Sorry man.

Ruzek

Sarge, I'm willing to help you and everything, but you gotta tell me what's going on here.

Platt

[sighs] I gotta close the dad deal.

Ruzek

The the what now?

Platt

I'm accustomed to living in a nice house in Lincoln Park, a house I can't afford on my CPD salary.

Ruzek

Okay.

Platt

My dad is very wealthy. Investment banker wealthy. Cover of Forbes wealthy.

Ruzek

Really?

Platt

I'm his older single daughter who's never been married. We do this dance every year where I bring my new fiancé to dinner and tell him I'm sure this is the one. He then writes me a check and tells me he's proud of me. We're both just going through the motions at this point, but he's old-fashioned, and I don't want to think about what would happen if I don't play the game.

Ruzek

All right, say no more. I get it. I do. It's just I you think he's going to buy this?

Platt

Why wouldn't he?

Ruzek

Well, the, uh the age difference.

Platt

Exactly how old do you think I am?

Ruzek

I have no idea.

What do you like most about my daughter Trudy?

Platt

[glares at her father] Dad.

Ruzek

Well, I would have to say that I like the fact that she knows exactly who she is. That she doesn't take crap from anybody, and I mean anybody. She's a –– she's just a she's a tough cookie, my little cookie.

Ruzek

Why haven't you told him you're gay?

Platt

Gay?

Ruzek

Yeah, I just I think and I know I'm speaking out of school here, but I think he'd be cool with it. He seem like a––

Platt

I'm not gay.

Ruzek

What?

Platt

I did half the guys in my class in the academy.

Platt

What are you doing here, Nadia, answering phones for 12 bucks an hour?

Nadia

Hey, it's a start.

Platt

No, pumpkin, it's an end. You're going to be up there until your boobs are bouncing off your knees, and all you're going to have to show for it is free dental, maybe a couple of flings with some married cops.

Nadia

I'm going to be a cop one day, and a damn good one.

Platt

Not going to happen. Not with your resume.

Platt

Got word from headquarters. You're both up for mandatory firearms requalification. Get to the shooting range by Friday.

Halstead

Now, remind me, 'cause I'm drawing a blank here. Who was it that had the most shots in the black the last time we requalified?

Lindsay

I believe the operative words here are "last time".

Is it true you got to buy your own duty weapon, or you just got to buy the backup?

Burgess

Oh, Chicago police officers are required to pay for their own sidearm, both primary and backup.

Hmm.

Burgess

What you carry?

I like a Walther PPK.

Burgess

You sound like future police to me.

Platt

Or a hit man.

Burgess

Hey. Um, Sergeant. I heard Intelligence pulled a rip on some major dealers last night.

Platt

Let me guess who leaked this amazing story, your boy toy, Ruzek? [Roman laughs]

Burgess

Boy what? No. Just, if any–– if any back ups needed we're volunteering our services.

Platt

didn't get upstairs, Burgess, so give it up. But, I do love your can-do spirit, so I am assigning you two to "psycho squad" duty. The Bulgarian consulate in Chicago forwarded a list of whackos who've made threats against President Pla-no..Pla..Pre...President...Pla...President whoever, who arrives in two days for some trade conference. You're gonna do spot checks on all persons on that list, see if they pose a danger.

Roman

Yeah. Can't you put Garcia or Sikora on this one?

Platt

Roman, be grateful I don't park you at a desk doing traffic reports.
