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.
S1 E11Alone in a Crowd
[When nobody is answering the door]
You want me to kick it in?
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.

SSam
When I was a kid, fireman's all I wanted to be.
Yeah, I wanted to be a running back. What the hell are you doing here?
Game get a little rough?
CCCoach Capri
That's why they call it hockey.
If that's a joke, I don't get it.
I'm starting to change my mind about the Himalayas. I think it would be a pretty good place to go. No pollution, no BS with the legal system. Just ice, mountains, the South Pole.
The South Pole?
What?
Nothing.
It's probably only nice until you get used to the place. After that, I'm sure you run into some crackhead Eskimo using kids or something.
Eskimos? In the Himalayas?
S1 E13This Band of Brothers
Bobby (to Matty): You're gonna get out of my car. You're gonna walk across that street and when you get there if you turn right, you walk into that precinct, I'll spend every dime I got to get you the best lawyer I can find. If you end up doing time I will be there every week to make sure you got everything you need and the day you get out I'll be parked out front waiting to bring you home. If you don't, Matty, if you cross that street and you go left, I'm through with you. I don't ever want to see you again. I don't want you to call or come by, ever. You'll be dead to me. I won't have a brother. That's it. That's the deal.
Carlos (about Morales): I told you I was interested.
DDoc
So what? What, now we're in the eighth grade and you called dibs?
"Dibs"!? What the hell is dibs?
I was scared Sully. I was too scared.
We all were.
Not Bosco. He was fearless, running around like a madman.
He is a madman and he's stupid to boot. There's some guys that think they're invincible and they believe that right up until the moment they get shot. And then they all end up with this stupid-ass look on their faces like there's been some kind of terrible mistake.
Yokas (to Bosco): We're supposed to be different from them.
We didn't try to hold up a check cashing store with automatic weapons and kill everybody we ran into this afternoon.
No, but you let a man die when you could have tried to save him. And you're right. Under similar circumstances, he would have done the same exact thing to you. So, congratulations, Bosco. Today, you and that animal were exactly alike.
S1 E1432 Bullets and a Broken Hearts
Carlos (to Doc): God, you would drive monks crazy.
Yokas (to Fred): I'm surprised you could even find the car, let alone get the key in the ignition. You're under arrest.
Now I got to figure out a way to tell my kids that their mother had to arrest their father.
God really does answer prayers.
Yeah, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be great if two girls young enough to be my daughters had car trouble.
S1 E15Officer Involved
Davis (to Sully): I just…I thought he was gonna kill you, man. I thought he was gonna…
I know you did.
Damn.
Now you gotta go tell them that.
Sully (to Davis): Forget about the outcome! You saved my life!
I don't think I'm cut out for this job. I just…
Then quit! Go to law school. Do something with your life. Hell, join the circus. I don't really give a damn. But unless you go down to that station, tonight and set this right, you're gonna go to jail.
