You know, all I ever wanted to be was a good cop.
It's not too late.
S6 E11Forever Blue
How can I convince these guys to come back and tell the truth when I'm not even telling the truth myself?
DDanny
How many times have we talked about this, Scotty? Fixing it.
MMurray
It can't be fixed. He's dead, stupid.
DDanny
We can do what we can, Scotty.
MMurray
Why can't you just leave this alone?!
Ty Davis, Junior is why, man. He's a cop now. A good one. CT's gonna take him out too if we don't stop him.
Davis (to Finney): Yeah, I need to talk to you, man.
What? You couldn't wait a half an hour? I'm on my way to work right now.
It's about your father.
Well, what about my father?
Something happened today and I want you to hear it from me.
S6 E12The "L" Word
You are the man, John Sullivan.
Is that right?
Goodbye King Rat.
What is it with women and the "L" word?
"The "L" Word"?
You know…love.
Okay, look, first of all, it's not all women. I mean, I have never told any guy that I love him. Secondly, I think Levine pretty much loves everyone.
This department used to know what loyalty and honor was. We used to have each other's backs.
MMcInerney
No. No. We were just afraid of each other.
He's going down, Sully. Don't worry about it.
No, he's not. He was right. A patrol cop is never gonna be able to bring down a captain of the NYPD. This is what I was trying to tell you, Davis. This is real life. Nothing ever turns out the way you think it's going to. Good guys don't always win, the bad guys don't always lose. It's never simple, it's never easy. This guy's gonna win. He's gonna beat this. And the people that are going down are the grunts. People like you and me. People like your father.
Damn it, Dad, I don't care about that. I don't give a damn if they're jealous. I don't give a damn if this case isn't prosecutable.
What the hell is it, then?
Is it true?
That's gotta be tough to ask that question.
No varnish, Dad. No technicalities, no legal BS. Just a simple answer, yes or no?
SSantiago
Just got the prints back.
That was fast.
SSantiago
Hey, I'm Dominican, baby. We work fast.
I've heard.
Capt. Finney (to Brendan): I want to say I'm proud of you…and I love you.
Wait, what'd you say?
I said I love you.
What's going on?
He said "I love you."
What are you talking about?
He's never said that before.
Carlos (to Levine): For a while today I thought you were in that explosion. I knew you were going there. I heard it come over the radio and I... My stomach flipped, I freaked out. I didn't know what to do. I've never felt that way before, worrying about someone like that.
What are you saying?
Your story about Jerusalem and the bombs. Everyone calling their loved ones…Who did you call, Holly? I got out of the bus and ran the last five blocks. I was afraid. Afraid that I'd lost you. But you didn't call me. You say "I love you" but you didn't call.
I... I was…
It's not about saying the word. It's about actions. It's the best that I can give you right now, and if that's not good enough for you, then I am sorry, but it's all that I can give you.
Cruz (to Rice): So, is it working?
Hmm?
The Task Force. I mean…are we getting them?
All the buildings that were standing on September 12th are still standing today.
Mm hmm, but…
Guys like this are working hard every day to change that.
Yeah, but how do you fight an enemy whose only purpose in life is to die?
Their purpose is to kill as many of us as possible. Dying is just one of the methods.
How do you fight it?
A little luck, coincidence, preparation. You just gotta be willing to work harder than they do.
So it never ends. Just…always.
S6 E13The Other "L" Word
{While outside the firehouse, during the hazmat inspection of the 55th precinct}
Sully (to Swersky): Any news?
Did ya get into another fight?
Between FDNY bitching about their coffee cake and Jelly tryin' to talk them into givin' up their chips, I'd rather be out here.
It should be over soon.
