SSully

If you give everyone a beating who deserves it your arms are gonna be mighty tired by the end of the night.

SSully

That's the problem, see? That's exactly how you lose your mind on this job. There's so much tragedy. Feeling is the first thing that goes. After that, losing the rest is easy. Compassion, empathy, sympathy…It's funny, you can become a much better cop by becoming less of a human being.

SSully

Willy Townsend stole a communion chalice from a church. He stole it from a man that was tryin' to help him. Then Father Goodwin refuses to give the bastard up. Instead, he goes to find Willy to tell him he's forgiven and give him another chance. And then what does Willy do to this man? Maybe the only person on the face of this Earth that gives a damn about him? He breaks a three dollar bottle of Thunderbird over his head, and then proceeds to stab this gentle, loving man over and over again with what's left of the broken bottle. Father Goodwin is supposed to believe in the redemptive power of God's love, to forgive Willy. That's his place in this world. You and me? Our job is to see to it that Willie never hurts anybody else again. Ever.

That's what I'm talking about, Davis. You go to law school you never got to chase another idiot down the street or look like and idiot chasing somebody.

S5 E4 In Lieu of Johnson
View quote →

Davis (to Sully): I've got a multiple choice for you. Did you and Judge Halsted: A. Kiss and say goodnight. B. Have breakfast together...

SSully

Or C. None your damn business.

SSully

"Request police photo I.D. card. Check I.D. number against badge number. Call local precinct with badge number." How to make a crappy job that much crappier.

Sharon (to Sully): You could end up in prison, a disgraced ex-cop.

SSully

I disgraced myself the moment I decided to keep my mouth shut. This is my one chance to get my dignity back.

SSully

How can I convince these guys to come back and tell the truth when I'm not even telling the truth myself?

SSully

The 55 closed that day. The one I knew anyway. It's being rebuilt ten blocks away. The thing is the new precinct won't be on the corner of King and Arthur anymore, so there won't be any Camelot. The idea of Camelot, a place where heroes gather in force, before going out to battle, that'll still be alive, and whatever building becomes the 55, it lives in every police station and fire station in the city, hell in the country, in the world for that matter. Bob Swersky retired as the deputy chief. He spends his days playing with his 12 grandkids; being our boss prepared him for that pretty well. DK took over the squad when Billy Walsh got promoted to battalion chief. Stu LottaZ's ended up taking over Jimmy Doherty's rescue squad. Stu, DK, and Walsh saved 17 people one day from a garment factory fire. They all won medals of honor. Carlos and Holly got married. Today they've got three kids and a big house on Staten Island. Ty says Carlos is a good father. He finally found the family he always wanted. Ty and Sasha are still seeing each other. They say they are going to get married once their careers slow down, but I think it's gonna be a while. He's an anti-crime Lt. in charge of half of Manhattan, and Sasha's running for city council. According to the papers I get up here, she's leading the polls. Brendan is Lt. Davis's sergeant on the anti crime task force. They make a pretty good team. Their troops have more arrests than any team in the city. Grace Foster put 3 more years on the street and then became an instructor for the EMS. She couldn't work out in the field anymore, being pregnant and all. In the end her mother was right, she became a teacher. She and Brendan are celebrating their first anniversary next week. When Faith reported to Major Crime, she got a surprise. Her boss, besides leading the department of homicide clearances, never lost her compassion for cases that involved a kid. She and Captain Miller are thinking about moving in together, after Emily finishes college that is. Maritza Cruz was awarded the medal of honor. Intelligence estimates that the amount of firearms recovered from that building saved numerous lives, mostly police officers. To this day, someone places a single rose on her grave every morning. Bosco, well Bosco's doing the same thing he's always done; balls out, every day, every job, kicking ass, taking names, and being the police. Me, I've found my own little piece of heaven, a small cabin, 108 feet away from a beautiful lake, nothing but peace and quiet, the one thing I do battle with now is the occasional northern. But I consider myself lucky to be a part of that brotherhood, even for a little while..... CRAP!

View quote →

What do you do?

SSully

What do you mean "what do I do"?

To, like uh kick back, have like uh, sully fun, what do you do? I sort of picture you sitting at home in your boxer shorts watching old movies on black and white TV.

SSully

This is what you do, conjure up images of me in my underwear?

I'm not saying its pretty.

SSully

You are way off, you know.

About what?

SSully

I got a color television.

[When nobody is answering the door]

You want me to kick it in?

SSully

I tell you what, Tarzan. Why don't we keep that as a backup plan, but let's see if the super has keys first.

Yeah, that could work too.
