Third Watch quotes

Carlos (to Taylor): Well, it's good that they found him, right?

Taylor: Everyone else seems to think so. I'm not so sure. You know, I was hoping it would end this whole limbo thing, but I don't know. I knew my dad dead. But somehow it just.

Sully (to Davis): We're only the law as long as people let us. Enough people wanna commit a crime, there's nothing we can do. There's not enough of us in the world.

Fred: You know this band-aid is gonna hurt like hell comin' off.

Faith: Whatever happened to that big, tough linebacker I used to date in high school?

Fred: In football, no one's rippin' the hair out of your arm.

Faith: Yeah, try getting your bikini line waxed.

Swersky (to Bosco): I meant what I said at roll call today, Boscorelli. Do not agitate anyone out there today, I need you to sensitive to the situation. It's hot. We don't have any power.

Bosco: Roger that.

Swersky: You find your partner?

Bosco: No answer. She's probably caught in traffic or something.

Swersky: Hang around here until you do.

Bosco: Why? Have the desk call me when she gets in.

Swersky: Sensitive!

Bosco: I will be incredibly sympathetic to the plight of the poor citizens of the 55th.

Fred (to Faith): See, this is exactly why I hate going to the doctor.

Faith: Oh, come on, why? 'Cause you get stuck in the elevator?

Fred: Well, if we didn't come here.

Faith: Ugh. (about her cell) I'm not getting a signal on this. They're not gonna know we're gonna be late getting to the house.

Fred: I told you that thing was a waste of money.

Faith:: All right, what is this gonna be, like "I told you so Faith" day?

Fred: Well, I did. You can't get a signal on your phone. The emergency phone's busted, the emergency button doesn't work. What the hell kind of place is this?

Faith: Apparently one with few emergencies.

Emily (to Bosco): What happened?

Bosco: Em, I need you to come with me. You and Charlie.

Emily: Is my mom hurt?

Bosco: No, your mom's fine.

Emily: Alright, then what?

Bosco: Your dad is sick.

Emily: My dad?

Bosco: Yeah, we need to go to the hospital.

Emily: What's wrong with him?

Bosco: He's sick, Em.

Emily: How sick?

Bosco: Look, we have to go right now.

Emily: Okay, um, let me wake Charlie up. Seeing you will scare him. Does my dad need anything? Any clothes, anything?

Bosco: You mom said just to bring you guys down there.

Davis: I think they're gone.

Sully: They might be gone.

Davis: Well, it's now or never, let's go get 'em.

Sully: Wait. What do we got here, huh? A hooker and her date? What was she doing pulling tricks in the middle of a riot? And she doesn't even know his name.

Davis: What difference does that make?

Sully: Because I'm not getting us killed over some whore.

Davis: I'm getting them outta here.

Davis: I don't need a lecture, Sul.

Sully: What did you say?

Davis: Well, that's what you're pulling me over here for, right? Give me a big 'ol lesson on the real world, how it works? I know how it works, man. I know what's goin' on. I don't really care what they do. I just want them to call it what it is. They want to hide her from the guy's wife. They don't wanna put her in a more private room.

Sully: They're not gonna call it what it is. That's not how they do things, and it's not gonna change. So, why don't you just smile and let them do what they're gonna do? Unless, you can see an upside to sticking your face out in front of it, and pissing people off. People who control your career.

Davis: This sucks, man. You know? Sucks.

Carlos: Are you out of your mind?

Doc: Look, they need help.

Carlos: It's right in the middle of everything.

Doc: If you don't wanna go, don't.

Carlos: I'm just saying that we should have a plan before we rush into the middle of.... (Doc just keeps walking) You're not even listening to me!

Emily: The sun's coming up.

Faith: Already?

Emily: We're not going to school today, right?

Faith: No, you're not going to school today. (Emily sits down) How you doin' over there, kiddo?

Emily: I'm okay.

Faith: That was nice before how you made Charlie feel better.

Emily: He's just a kid.

Faith: Yeah, he is.

Faith: Did you really think that you were gonna go to school today?

Emily: Not really.

Doc: I want to talk this out.

Carlos: Oh, now you wanna talk? You didn't wanna talk when I wanted to stay and help that out man. You didn't want to talk before running into a middle of a riot.

Doc: We had an assignment.

Carlos: We had 30 assignments waiting, but I guess they weren't important enough for you.

Doc: Is that right?

Carlos: You pick and choose what we're gonna do, who we're supposed to care about. What's that?

Doc: Come on, there were cops calling for help!

Carlos: And I would've gone! I just wanted to be asked, man. You didn't even give me a chance!

Doc: Because I'm the one who makes those decisions.

Carlos: Just like you decided that I was gonna take that guy's money?

Doc: So, that's what this is really about?

Carlos: No, no, it's about you. You don't want to talk to me. You want to talk at me. And I'm over it. I'm over you.

Doc: You think I give a damn what you're over? Huh?

Carlos: No, you don't. And that's your problem.

Doc: No, that's your problem because I am your superior and my word is final and you can't deal with that!

Carlos: Oh, whatever.

Doc: I was doing this job when you were learning to walk, okay, so you could be as pissed as you want to be, but you damn well better respect that!

Carlos: You're proud of that? All that means is you were never good enough to move up. (Doc shoves Carlos) You wanna hit me again? Go ahead, take it all out on me. You selfish son of a bitch.

Doc: You're calling me selfish?

Carlos: I'm calling you selfish!

Doc: You, of all people. You know what, I'm not the one who gave away his kid because I thought it would be a pain in my ass.

Carlos: You know what? You're nothing but a sad, miserable, old man who's got nothing but a little bit of power and a crappy little job.

Doc: I'm not miserable.

Carlos: Really?

Doc: Yeah.

Carlos: Well, hooray for you. Can I go now, sir?

Sully (to Davis): You ready to go?

Davis: No, I'm good. I think I'm gonna be here when Nancy comes around. Maybe I can get her to tell me what really happened.

Sully: This is not the kind of thing you want to get too involved in.

Davis: Thanks, Dad. I'm good, all right? You go ahead, I'll get a ride with somebody. I'm a hero. I'm a hero cop, I'll get a ride with somebody.

Bosco (to Latrell): That kid lived.

Latrell: Good.

Bosco: You did a good job with him.

Latrell: Whatever, man.

Bosco: You ever though about being a medic out here? For the city?

Latrell: I'm on the list. At least I was until this narcotics arrest.

Bosco (turns around): I need Griffith kicked loose.

Cop: Yeah?

Bosco: I lost the evidence.

Cop: Go get it signed off by the boss and he's all yours.

Bosco: Right. (turns back to Latrell) When I call for a bus, you better put me at the top of the list.

Reyes (to Bosco): I have no idea what I'm gonna need in there, but when I need it, I'll need it fast. And you're the one who has to get it for me. You screw it up and some of my men die tonight. You have the potential to be a good cop. You hear what I said? Potential. But you got some serious problems. You're a little bit fearless. And not having any fear out here just means you're stupid, and stupid gets people killed. I am not here to mother you or to coddle you or to fix things every time you step on your johnson. I am your boss. I am not Faith Yokas.

Sully: I don't know, Ty. She's fooled me before but this last thing, I just can't wrap my brain around.

Davis: Well, what did you say to Madjanski? Did you defend her?

Sully: Defend her? I didn't even tell him that I knew her. I mean, what am I gonna say, "my wife may be a whore, but she's no murderer"? Madjanski says that she was with him just two weeks ago.

Davis: Well, we know that she was at that club.
