Arrest in Transit [3.9]

Boden: Mouch, you have got to cancel. Trudy is not the type of woman who can be trifled with. Mouch: I know. You're right. Herrmann: Wait, hold on a sec. Mouch is a grown man. Trudy's got no right to tell him who he can and cannot break bread with. Mouch: There's a certain amount of logic to that. Herrmann: [to Mouch] I told you not to get Chief involved. You don't need to add this to your plate of concerns, just forget the whole thing happened–– Boden: Mouch, I outrank him. When I say that you have to cancel, you have to cancel, and that is an order.

Three Bells [3.13]

Boden: I have a love-hate relationship with these ceremonies. Each one is a reminder that we've lost a member of our family. Leslie Shay was a great paramedic. There are no words that can fill the hole that she left. The woman who rode alongside her from her first day to her last, Gabriela Dawson, would like to say some words. Dawson: A lot's changed at 51 since losing Shay. We've welcomed in new friends, we got a new rig and, uh and a dream of mine came true. But here's what hasn't changed: this house, this family. It's all as strong as it ever was stronger even, because I think, um I think that deep down in the quiet moments we think to ourselves: Shay would want us to be better. She'd want us to lean on each other. And she'd want us to represent her, every time we go out.

Help me with inventory. Dawson: [glares back] Yeah, okay. Great.

You Know Where To Find Me [3.20]

Dawson: [looks at the papers Casey is filing] What's..."Stilettos"? It sounds like a strip club. [Cruz and Otis turn to look] Oh, God. It is a strip club, isn't it? Casey: Yes...I landed a construction contract expanding a club called Stilettos. Permits just came through. Cruz: [clears throat] Lieutenant. I've been meaning to ask you, do you, by any chance, need any strong backs for your side business? 'Cause I could use a little scratch. Casey: [deadpan] You don't say.

So I'm gonna say this with the utmost respect. [looks at the crew] Get over it. Otis: Mills was here for three years, Chief. You can't expect us to just flip a switch and get over it. Boden: [glares at everyone in the room] And I have been here for 22 years, Otis. Now, my orders are, welcome in the new PIC. Any one of you, you have a problem with that, you come in my office. If you have a legitimate reason, we will discuss it. Other than that, you stop looking like somebody just pissed in your coffee!

We Called Her Jellybean [3.21]

Casey: Saturday, which one of you two is helping me install the mirrored glass at Stilettos? Otis: Um day date. [Cruz gives him the "seriously??" look] I'm taking Barbara to brunch, what? Casey: Cruz? Cruz: I can't, Lieutenant. Casey: [looks at them] You guys get born again, or what? Dawson: I'll help. So how's this work, Lieutenant? You get paid in singles, or you get checks? Casey: Very funny. Dawson: I bet you need a hand getting those poles up, huh? Casey: [looks at Dawson] Yeah, well Nesbitt's building a whole chain of them. And guess who's gonna be buying their lake house from doing all the work? Otis: Eh, careful who you get in bed with, Lieutenant. Casey: What's that mean? Otis: Seven years in the fire department, guy suddenly quits. Just saying. Casey: If I only wanted to work with saints, I'd be out of business pretty quick. Otis: Your call.

A Taste of Panama City [4.2]

[to Dawson] You need to understand the reality working here. Ninety-nine out of a hundred cases get stamped suspicious/unknown for a reason. Because arson is damn near impossible to prove. Even if you catch a guy pulled on a can full of gas and a box full of matches, it's tough to make it stick.

When the U.S. Marines stormed Panama to run that crook Noriega out on a rail, he was holed up in the "Holy City". So, how do we smoke him out? A little piece of somethin' special. Psyops, called "noise warfare". These apartment pinheads are about to get a little taste of Panama City circa 1989.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today for a truly special union. A reminder that life's hardships and uncertainties are no match for the love between two people with open hearts and undaunted dedication to one another.

Regarding This Wedding [4.5]

Nothing can prepare you for that real thing. You walk into a real fire, it's chaos. That heat, smoke, you can't see anything, your mask feels like it's too tight. Then there's Lieutenant Casey and he's calm and in control and that makes me feel calm.

2112 [4.6]

Cruz: Honesty, it goes both ways, right Captain? Patterson: Of course. Cruz: Then honestly tell me what are you doing to this house? Patterson: Sometimes chain of command comes before everything else, Cruz. You're gonna have to get used to that.

2112 [4.6]

Otis: What if there's an ear in there? Or a single bullet? Cruz: What is wrong with you? Otis: I'm talking about gang stuff. Ooh, a rattlesnake. Cruz: What do you know about gangs, Otis? Otis: I watched the Wire.

The Path of Destruction [4.11]

Herrmann: It's a funny thing about tornadoes ain't it? They just drop out of the sky like some random act you've got no control over. Casey: A lot of things do that to us.

Mouch: Monogamy. Ever consider it? Severide: [pauses] Not really...

Bad for the Soul [4.15]

Cruz: Look Lieutenant, I don't feel right about putting you in the middle of this. The position of the aerial, it wasn't part of our rescue, so maybe we don't put it in, you know? Severide: You sure about what you saw? Cruz: One hundred percent Severide: Then that's how we file it.

Bad for the Soul [4.15]

Superhero [4.23]

Dear Louie, Chief Boden asked us to write letters to our loved one in case something ever went wrong on a call. I had the hardest time writing this letter until you came into my life. I've given up a lot to get to where I am but, when I look at you, I know it was all worth it. I want you to know that the life I've lived, the sacrifices I've made, it was in the service of helping others. Sacrifice is the hardest of all human actions, but anyone who puts on a uniform to help others knows it's also the most important. We pay a price for our service and sometimes that price is beyond our limits. I've made mistakes and bad choices, but life has a way of giving all of us second chances. Never doubt the power of goodness in one's heart. Or, for a single second, that together we make an incredible family. And you will be loved, always.

Mouch: First of all, I'm pretty sure "Manimal" is a copyright violation. Second of all, he's married to a police sergeant.

The Hose or the Animal [5.1]

Mouch: The union's between a rock and a rock here. There's what happened and then there's the perception of what happened.

A Real Wake-Up Call [5.2]

Dawson: You don't think Louie deserves the best? Casey: I just think we should find him a sitter before he turns 18.

A Real Wake-Up Call [5.2]

This whole thing has been a wake-up call Grant! You have to do this. You can't do it solo. I couldn't when I went through it. Remember? I probably wouldn't have made it out of my teens if it weren't for your help. Don't think I don't know that. I wish that I was the one Who could help you. But I have tried everything that I know how to do, and it and it only makes things worse. I didn't press charges because I'm not making decisions for you anymore.

Severide: This morning, the girl I had a very nice time with is in the bathroom, and I realize I can't remember her name. It is Jessica? Is it Jennifer? And so I slyly look in her purse, and see if I can find her driver's license. Casey: [chuckles] She caught you. Severide: She thought I was ripping her off. Casey: Noooo. Oh, so what was it? Jennifer? Jessica? Severide: I don't know. I don't know! I'm serious, man. What am I doing? Casey: Uh, everything that everyone else wishes they could do. Severide: You know what I felt today as I got blasted in the head by a fireball? Nothing. Casey: Let's get away. Boys' fishing trip someplace warm. Beers, cigars, and a boat. Get the hell out of Chicago and recharge our batteries.

You remember when you first came to live with us? How brave and strong you were? And everything turned out okay, didn't it? [Trying to pretend she's not crying] Well, I think that if you are really brave and strong today, that this new home, everything's gonna turn out even better, okay? And we're not going anywhere, I will always be there for you, anytime you want, for the rest of your life. I love you, I will always love you, you hear me?

The People We Meet [5.10]

Our family are not all here, I get that, and several of them are hurt. They may be suffering but they are not weak, they are among the strongest mean and women that I know. That is what it is to be one of us, to be a firefighter, to be able to change the fate of the people that we meet. That means when we turn up at a call, we don't see strangers, we see mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. It means that when we see others running out of that fire, we run in. The job we've taken on is to make a difference. What some in this house have done this week, sacrificing their own health, their own happiness for that of another, that is the true meaning of what we do.

[to Dawson and Casey] Sometimes, it is better to live with the pain for a little while. Process it, you know? Losing Louie was a real blow. There is no harm in admitting that to yourselves.

Dawson: Brett, what's going on? Brett: Okay, look. I am batting about a zero with men lately. Good men, bad men, all men. I'm either pushing them away, or they're pushing me, and then I look at you, and I think, "Wow, what she has is perfect." Dawson: You know how many guys I had to date before I met Casey? There was Jake, who cheated on me with his high school girlfriend, and Logan, whose parents could not approve of a Latino. And finally Dr. Mike. He was about as romantic as a German teacher. Look, the point is there were a lot of really bad breakups before Casey. Your Casey is out there, but you don't have to change who you are to find him.

See, we always help people, whether they deserve it or not.
