Carlos quotes from Third Watch

Carlos

Put shoes on 'em, stockings....

Carlos

Alex Taylor was a...she was a...she was a pain the ass. I never met anyone as stubborn as her, you couldn't tell her anything. Just this morning Doc told me that him and Lieutenant Johnson told her to get off that car like ten times, ten times and she wouldn't do it. I remember hearing...but I remember hearing her answer when they told her to get off. She said that...the woman that she was with...was afraid. Not that she was hurt badly or dying but just, afraid. Can you imagine, risking your life so that another person isn't scared? I don't think I'll ever be capable of that kind of sacrifice but, I'm going to spend whatever time I have left trying to live up to that. Mrs Taylor, I was with your daughter at the end. I held her hand. There was only one thing on her mind. You. She wanted me to tell you that it didn't hurt. That's all she wanted was for you to know. Her last thoughts were not of herself. She wanted to go out on her own terms. She wanted to leave a message and no one was going to stop her from doing that. Like I said she was the most stubborn person I ever met. Tell my mother it didn't hurt. Maybe not for you Alex. Maybe not for you.

Carlos

Trust me. Kim doesn't need coffee to make her irritable.

Carlos

Listen? I had a cop in my bus last night. He died. While I was talking to him, he just died, and I don't know why. Medically, I just don't understand it. I need Monte Parker here so I can ask him to explain it to me. Because he'd probably know. That's what he was to me. He's the only person I talk to.

Carlos

It's a milk run.

No lights, no siren.

Carlos

I promise I'll bring it back with a full tank of gas Dad.

Carlos

Oh!

What the hell was that?!

Carlos

Oh my god....

What have we got?

We, hit him by a bus.

Carlos

I didn't see him...

Damn, bro.

Takes the stockings off, too.

Carlos

Is that you talking?

So what? What, now we're in the eighth grade and you called dibs?

Carlos

"Dibs"!? What the hell is dibs?

You know, every time I think I couldn't possibly have a lower opinion of you, something else pops up and I like you even less.

Carlos

You really are a smug bastard, you know that?

I got to say, I'm ashamed to know you.

Carlos

[to Doc after Alex is killed by the explosion] Doc, you don't...

What?

Carlos

Doc, she's uh...

Did you give her CPR?

Carlos

Doc, she...

Did you clear her airway?

Carlos

She's gone.

What are her vitals?

Carlos

She's gone.

What are her vitals?!

Carlos

I'm sorry.

Breathing, bleeding, airway?

Carlos

There was nothing to be done.

Carlos

What?

I have sources that say the police shooting at the Melrose Hotel was in Aaron Noble's apartment and that he died here a little while ago.

Carlos

Aaron Noble the writer?

Carlos

These people didn't see me into a good home and send me birthday presents every year, Doc. They dumped me on the Red Cross' doorstep. The Red Cross, you know, it may be good for a lot of things, but I'm pretty sure that they're not gonna be a blood match for Kylie.

So you've never checked the records to see if there was anything there?

Carlos

Never cared enough.

Well, do you care enough now?

Carlos

Man, it's gotta suck to spend Christmas in the hospital, huh?

Better than the morgue.

Carlos

Wow. You've developed this knack for stating the obvious.

Kim

Captain Steeper wants us to stay out of the house.

Carlos

What?

Levine

For how long?

Kim

Permanently.

Carlos

He can't do that.

Kim

Yes, he can.

Carlos

No way.

Kim

Look, we can use the lockers to change before the shift and change to go home.

Carlos

Oh, well, that's big of him.

Yeah, yeah. I'm keeping them from closing the house, just like I told you I would.

Carlos

You shot a man.

Yeah, I had to.

Carlos

Had to? That's...you might need real help.

It's gotta be eight more minutes, and I thought you'd understand.

Carlos

Here's what I do understand: I'm not letting this man die on the floor of my firehouse.

Hey, you better sit back down, Carlos.

Carlos

If he dies, you're a murderer.

Sit down!

Carlos

You wanna shoot me? Shoot me.
