Quotes

Carlos (to Taylor): I cannot believe Doc did this. I don't mean that as a dis on you, I mean dumping me like he did.
Taylor: He needs to work with Kim.
Carlos: Why can't you work with Kim?
Taylor: Carlos, this is not my choice.

Fred (to Yokas): How much longer are these 12-hour shifts going to be?
Yokas: I don't know. They didn't say.
Fred: The kids miss you. Emily especially.

Catherine (to Kim): I didn't know you were back on the payroll with the department.
Kim: I'm not.
Catherine: You mean you're going down there every night, and you don't have to?
Kim: Lots of people are volunteering.
Catherine: Lots of people haven't been through what you've been through.
Kim: No, they've been through much worse.
Catherine: Jimmy's been working every day, then going down there every night. Which means he isn't seeing that much of Joey.
Kim: I'll stop by this afternoon.
Catherine: Look, if you want to do something to help, go back to work and help the living instead of digging through that tragic pile of rubble every night.

Carlos (about people thanking them): You know, I can't get used to this.
Doc: Yeah, I guess it's nice. People showing their appreciation.
Carlos: They want to show their appreciation, they could start by paying us more.
Doc: I think that's more like a city hall thing.
Carlos: Guy can make a million dollars in one day on Wall Street. You don't see him running into a burning building for $35,000 a year. Vote for a bond measure to up our salaries and leave the signs at home.

Faith (to Bosco): Charlie's been having nightmares. He wants me to quit. He thinks that I should be doing something else. He brings it up every time that I see him.
Bosco: Aw, hell, who could blame 'em? I'm thinking about quitting and doing something else.
Faith: Really?
Bosco: You haven't thought about it? After all this?
Faith: Yeah. So, are you?
Bosco: And let that skinny little bearded bastard think he beat me? Hell no. Give me a parachute and a pistol and drop me in there. I'll shoot him in the head myself.

Davis (to Taylor): You know, my father died in the line. Um...
Taylor: Oh, he's missing. We haven't found him yet.
Davis: Oh, right. Sorry, I didn't...
Taylor: No, I mean, I know there's not much hope. But you don't know him, he's... strong.
Davis: I'm gonna get going. You know where to find me if you want to talk or hang out, or... exchange recipes.

Doc (to Carlos): Kim's coming back to work.
Carlos: Really?
Doc: I want her to work with me. I need to keep an eye on her.
Carlos: What am I supposed to do?
Doc: Well, Johnson wants Taylor a medic again. Just for a little while. Get her off the squad.
Carlos: Alex Taylor?
Doc: Yeah, she's wrung out, man. I mean, with all that's happened and with her father.
Carlos: We're all beat, so what? I'm supposed to carry her load.
Doc: Come on, man, she's good. She wouldn't let you carry her load even if you wanted her to.
Carlos: Wh... What's this about? You just want to get away from me?
Doc: No.
Carlos: Two years and then you just dump me off the bus?
Doc: I'm not dumping you. Kim's been off, she needs help. I'm senior guy, she's gonna ride with me for a while and that's it.
Carlos: Thanks a lot.

Faith (to Fred): Thanks.
Fred: For what?
Faith: Taking care of the kids and everything. You've been amazing.
Fred: I've been worried about you.
Faith: I'm fine.
Fred: You sure?
Faith: I'm alive.
