Antonio Dawson quotes from Chicago P.D.

Dawson

[to Gradishar] His family lost a father because you used him as the bottom rung of your ladder. You don't know. You don't know what we do or what we sacrifice or the price we pay for this for the job. And you'll never know.

Dawson

First rule of a gunfight: bring a gun. Second rule: bring friends with guns. [raises his glass] Here's to having friends in Chicago.

Dawson

Parents do dumb things, the kids take the brunt.

Dawson

[to the team about Gish] This guy killed Leslie Shay, my sister's best friend. Years ago, he killed Peter Mills' father, and burned Chief Boden and who knows how many others. As far as I'm concerned, we don't sleep until this lunatic roasts.

Dawson

[to Ruzek] You start chasing things in the air instead of the ones on the street you don't get to anybody.

Dawson

Guess it doesn't matter where you're a cop, huh? Job has the same effect.

Dawson

Morning, sunshine.

Platt

[unamused] Funny.

Antonio

Here! [handing him the cold ice pack]

Ruzek

Thanks, [placing the cold ice pack on his crotch and softly wincing in momentary discomfort] I think they're swollen, seriously dude. [breathing in agony]

Antonio

I'll take your word on that. [as Halstead enters the room]

Halstead

Uniforms have picked up on Nadia trying to score over on Roosevelt they're bringing her in. You all right?

Ruzek

No!

Halstead

Just checking!

Ruzek

Yeah I'm glad we're all having fun with this Antonio, Wendy and I wanna have kids, if I'm sterile, I'm gonna have that chick's neck.

Antonio

Uh uh, this is all on you Ruzek, can't let your guard down like that ever. [exiting the room]

Ruzek

[sighing with relief] Good talk!

Halstead

Is no one gonna talk about the fact that Voight got arrested last night?

Dawson

He was put in cuffs once before by me. He got out of those pretty easy. Why should this time be any different?

Halstead

Wait, so let me get this straight. The rule of law doesn't apply to Voight? Just so I'm clear.

Dawson

Just do your job.

Ruzek

I'm just saying, Jay, you got a target on your head and you don't seem too phased.

Halstead

Overseas, my unit and I, we always had a bounty on us.

Dawson

Most gangs only pay 10G for a cop. If you're really worth 100, I should take you out myself. Pay off my mortgage.

Halstead

Right. Try it.

Olinsky

Coke dealer, one time, put a million dollar tag on me and Voight. [everyone stares at Olinsky]

Halstead

What?

Ruzek

How'd you handle that?

Olinsky

Well, you dust yourself. Never go home the same way twice. Run red lights. If a car follows you through one, you chamber a round and you handle business.

Roman

How long you known Sergeant Platt?

Dawson

Long time.

Roman

Well, she's a real pain in the ass.

Dawson

That is true.

Ruzek

Did you know you were outside of sexclub?

Antonio

Yeah, the Red Bridge.

Ruzek

What was it like inside?

Halstead

Don't tell him, man. He'll be useless to us the rest of the day.

Ruzek

Listen, we... [writes something on a post-it note and sticks it to his coffee mug] We're thinking about putting together a task force on how to make coffee.

Dawson

Maybe you can help us arrange a press conference for that.

Ruzek

I got you started. Cream, two sugars. It's real simple.

Lindsay

I am not gonna make you coffee. [to Halstead] Come on, what about you?

Halstead

[laughs] I wasn't going to say anything. And then Lang called and he said you left your pant suit at the headquarters.

Voight

I hear you like to start fires, Gish.

Only when appropriate.

Voight

According to who? Fires that kill innocent people?

Yeah, I've heard about men who do that. Men who kill their own families. Men who wipe out city blocks with a single match.

Voight

You just gonna tiptoe right to the edge, huh?

Dawson

[mutters] I promise you I'll stand right behind you to give you the last push.

God's mistake? God's mistake? Really? You think I was made by God? [chortles] Last I checked, fire was the devil's tool. [looks at Dawson] I'm warning you, Detective. Do not push me.

Dawson

Or what, Gish? You gonna burn me up?

[seethes] When I'm done with you, you're gonna burn yourself up.

Lindsay

This is in Wisconsin?

Halstead

Yeah. Great fishing. Musky. Largemouth.

Lindsay

Mosquitoes? Like birds.

Halstead

But it's a great place to retire.

Lindsay

I'm not living in Northern Wisconsin.

Halstead

[grins teasingly] I don't remember asking you.

Lindsay

Antonio, would you ever live in Northern Wisconsin?

Dawson

Yeah. Snowmobiling, ice fishing, meth labs. It's paradise.

Halstead

You're not helping.
