Jenn quotes from Lincoln Heights

Jenn

(of Reverend Hammond) That man is a born activist; if there's nothing to protest, he's out of work.

Jenn

You didn't happen to bump into a particular cop, Eddie Sutton?

After a while they all start to look alike.

Cassie

I posted my resume on the internet.

Jenn

Why not look the old fashioned way? Pound the pavement.

(about Lizzie's ransom) What about the department? Don't they have funds for stuff like this?

Eddie

The department won't help out. It's against policy to lend money for ransom.

Jenn

But not against policy to get us to move here.

Eddie

(of Delilah) That woman's my partne...

Jenn

And I am your wife; Lizzie's mother. Don't put me on a need-to-know basis, alright? I want all the information, and I want it first. (holds up her hand) You see this? Wedding band trumps uniform!

Eddie

I got one of those too, Jenn, and it doesn't mean I can walk into your O.R. and perform brain surgery!

Jenn

I'm worried about Lizzie too, but she's a survivor… just like you. And she looks up to you as an example.

Eddie

Yeah, which is why she's so screwed up.

Jenn

Oh, I'm off at 6:00, Dr. Cole.

We all put in long hours around here, Sutton.

Jenn

That's why I'm in the float pool, so I don't have to. It's spring break, my kids have been home alone all day.

Floaters work overtime like everybody else. I'll see you at 7:00.

I'm jealous, I thought Cole and I had an exclusive thing going on.

Jenn

No, he likes spreading his love around.

Jenn

(about Dana) Eddie, how can I open up my home to a woman who's been nothing but insulting and nasty to me?

Eddie

Be an example to her.

Jenn

This is not about me; this is about you and your family.

Eddie

Okay, but right now I gotta deal with my family.

Jenn

Fine. I'm coming with you, you're not gonna do this alone.

Jenn

We just got a shipment of flu shots and Saturday mornings are especially bad.

Eddie

Remember when we used to be especially bad on Saturday mornings?

Jenn

(to Lizzie about The Wiz) You want me to watch it with you? I know the words to the songs.

Lizzie

Uh… no thanks, Mom, I've heard you sing. You're no Diana Ross.

Eddie

Baby, I don't want you to quit your job.

Jenn

But you don't want me to have that job, either.

Eddie

That's because I can't let you go to work without worrying you'll get stuck by a needle, or that some sick guy in the waiting room is not gonna get violent on you. So I need your help. I need you to tell me how you get through the day, knowing the dangers I come across. Tell me, so I can do it for you.

Eddie

I'm just trying to keep you safe.

Jenn

We gave up safe when we moved here, Eddie, now it's about trying to make a difference where we can.

Eddie

Jenn, you can't fix every broken wing.

Jenn

Neither can you, but you haven't stopped trying.

Eddie

(about Cassie's mural) But what kind of parents would we be if we let her do this and she gets hurt?

Jenn

And what kind of hypocrites are we if we don't help her? And to be honest, I don't think we can stop her.

Eddie

Oh. Oh, I can stop her.
