(seeing Steeper on the floor of the firehouse) Oh my God. Doc did that?
Not the Doc we know.
S5 E15No More, Forever
(in the ambulance on the way to the hospital) I went to funerals...hundreds...the families...I didn't know them. I never was in the field.
I'm losing his pulse.
We're almost there.
I only knew how to work the numbers...but the numbers never balanced that day...
It's okay, Cap.
They never balanced...
DDoc
I don't think they're gonna close it now.
What? This house?
DDoc
Yeah.
No way. No way they're gonna close this house. You saved it.
S5 E16Family Ties (Part One)
You know what really pisses me off? That I was stupid enough to fall for the whole damn "I changed" thing. Nobody changes. People don't change, do they, Dad? We can go out, we can go have all those steak dinners we want, but it don't make us a family. I'm my own family.
Kim Zambrano actually returned to work from her own mental collapse on September 11th. She pushed aside her own pain and answered the city's call for help. This is a theme, which, as you know, runs through most of the city's emergency employees. Carlos Nieto acted selflessly during the hostage incident at the firehouse and certainly saved Captain Steeper's life. However, as do many of the survivors of 9/11, he clearly doesn't feel heroic. Despite their hesitance to speak openly with me, if they do not locate an avenue for such a discussion, they will never adequately recover from this trauma.
Yokas (to Steven): You ran two stop signs.
SSteven
What?
Oh, see bicycles are subject to the same traffic laws that cars are subject to.
SSteven
Seriously?
You got a driver's license?
SSteven
Driver's license?
You're annoying me. You're answering every question with a question.
Doc is a teacher. He did this for us, so we could learn lessons. I'm grateful.
What lessons have you learned?
Uh… I'm still working on that.
Looks like the dolphin's got some beef with the monkeys.
Carlos (to Breene): What the hell does 9/11 have to do with it?
Doc's statements made to the police officer that brought him out suggest it may be the root of his breakdown.
No… Doc's the one that we all talked to. He was the only real strong one. Doc Parker's the reason why I dropped out of med school, okay? Figured if being a paramedic was good enough for someone like him…
Paramedic Parker's breakdown left an immeasurable hole in the fabric of life in that firehouse. Mr. Parker seems to have become a sort of surrogate father for these employees and apparently helped them through difficulties encountered during and after 9/11. This role as father almost certainly contributed to his feeling that it was left to him to rectify what he saw as the closing of the 5-5 and therefore the destruction of his family.
Rose (to Bosco & Mikey): We're gonna sit like normal people and eat lasagna. Is that too much to ask? You're brothers for God's sake.

DDade
(gasping for breath after he is shot) Please don't let me die.
Cruz (to Yokas): Did your partner tell you about his brother having you lock up his competition?
No, but he told me that you interviewed our perp without permission.
Yeah. I'll talk to whoever I need to talk to.
I don't want you to talk to anybody that I have anything to do with.
Did you see my brother?
It was his car. The driver of his car.
Did you see him?
I saw him.
You're lying.
You don't want to mess with me right now!
You're lying. You never saw...
It was a... This guy killed a cop! Somebody that I care about!
I want an alarm out for the car and for this Mike Boscorelli. Do you know what he looks like?
Yes, sir.
Then do it.
As a cop killer?
For questioning.
In the death of a cop. You know what that means.
I don't have a choice, Bosco. And I'm not sure it would change if I did.
