  Ingrid Mills : There was a time when your father couldn't either. And his way of fixing it was to just shove it down. And then that turned into shutting off a part of himself. It's the part that makes us human.

  Peter Mills : Then what do I do?

  Ingrid Mills : Walk away. You come back to the restaurant. I don't want you to become a block of ice. I mean, having seen that in your father, believe me, you don't want that for yourself. It's not who you are. Hmm? Just... come home.

• 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.
