Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Matthew Casey : Why the hell are you studying Japanese?

  Randall McHolland : I read online that once you turn 50, your brain starts to atrophy unless you keep it in shape.

  Leslie Shay : I think that train's already left the station, Mouch.

  Joe Cruz : Say something in Japanese.

  Randall McHolland : I just started.

  Peter Mills : Hey, uh, where's Herrmann?

  Matthew Casey : Tony Robbins seminar?

  Brian Zvonecek : I got 20 bucks says in two weeks, you won't be able to string along a sentence.

  Randall McHolland : Easiest money I ever made.

  Brian Zvonecek : Done. What's today?

  Gabriela Dawson : Um, 29th.

  Matthew Casey : Ah, damn it.

  Gabriela Dawson : Everything all right?

  Matthew Casey : Yeah. No, I just forgot something.

  Wallace Boden : Hey, everybody. We have the pleasure of hosting a couple of visiting firefighters again. This is Gavin and Presley. They will be observing over the next couple of shifts. Lieutenant Casey, Lieutenant Severide, and... the rest of the knuckleheads.

  Gavin : Hey, guys, thanks so much for allowing us to be here and let us know if there's anything we can do to help out.

  Randall McHolland : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Was that a Canadian "out" I heard?

  Gavin : Yes, sir, Toronto.

  Presley : We both just finished our probationary period.

  Randall McHolland : You know what? Uh, welcome aboard, guys. No offense, but someone less will have to give you the tour, 'cause it ain't gonna be me.

  Matthew Casey : Ignore him.

• Wallace Boden : We've all been there. It usually happens first few months after being on the job. Right now, you have nothing to compare it to. But you will. The longer you work, the more good you do... you'll be able to take days like this, put them into context, and then move forward.

  Peter Mills : It's just afterwards, I'm... I'm looking at Mouch telling stories and Cruz playing video games. I don't know how they do it.

  Wallace Boden : Everybody has their own way in how they deal with things. You will get on the other side of this, Peter. You know what? Take the rest of the shift off. Go easy. I'm serious, though. Talk to someone. Counselor's available. So am I. So is your lieutenant. Okay?

  Peter Mills : Okay.

• Wallace Boden : Ingrid, uh... it's been a long time.

  Ingrid Mills : Yes, it has.

  Wallace Boden : Uh, please, have a seat.

  Ingrid Mills : No, I won't be long. Peter's not like Henry.

  Wallace Boden : No one expects him to be.

  Ingrid Mills : He does. And Peter's got this whole idea of living up to his father's memory. That is not the life I want for him. Peter's not coming back to 51.

  Wallace Boden : If that's what he decides... I'll abide by it. You have my word.

  Ingrid Mills : You're not hearing me. Peter's time as a candidate... is done. I'm asking you to respect my wishes. Now you owe me that at least.

• Wallace Boden : I've been on the phone for the last hour getting my ass handed to me, and there wasn't a damn thing I could say in your defense, because what you did was dead wrong.

  Gabriela Dawson : Chief, she's poisoning her daughter.

  Wallace Boden : Did you talk to the DCFS?

  Gabriela Dawson : Yeah, but...

  Wallace Boden : But nothing! You let them handle it. What you don't do is go knocking on doors, start throwing accusations. Do you not get it, Gabriela?

  Leslie Shay : It's not just her, Chief.

  Wallace Boden : I will get to you in a second. Answer my question.

  Gabriela Dawson : Yeah, Chief. I get it.

  Wallace Boden : Do you not like your partner?

  Leslie Shay : I like her very much indeed, sir.

  Wallace Boden : Well, she's a hothead. What you do when you have a hothead for a partner is you talk them out of doing stupid-ass things that can get them into serious trouble. Gabriela, this, um... crusade that you are on, it ends now. You take one step further, there will not be a suspension hearing. There will be a good-bye party.

  [to Casey and Severide, who walked by] 

  Wallace Boden : You two, my office. We need to talk about Mills.
