Quotes
-
Amy Santiago : Charles, meet Mac.
Jake Peralta : Short for McClane.
Charles Boyle : As in Shirley? I love it.
Jake Peralta : No, as in John, from "Die Hard."
Charles Boyle : I mean, they're both incredibly cool. Only one Oscar winner.
-
Jake Peralta : [Dotty is torturing the suspect to get information] Dotty, that's against the law.
Dotty : I am the law.
Jake Peralta : What made you like this?
-
Charles Boyle : This is it. My purpose is clear. I was put on this Earth to get you back in time to see your baby's birth.
Jake Peralta : I mean, you're a grown man with your own hopes and dreams.
Charles Boyle : [Decisively] My purpose is clear.
-
Jake Peralta : This is great, Dotty, but we're kind of in a hurry. My wife just went into labor and I want to get there in time for the birth.
Dotty : Why? The only man in the room should be the doctor.
Jake Peralta : Okay.
Dotty : All the dad needs to do is to make the money and have a nice, thick belt for when it's time to teach him a lesson.
Russ : My dad hit me with a belt. Soon as I got big enough, I shot him.
Jake Peralta : Wow, what a fun group for this, the most important day of my life.
-
Jake Peralta : [about a suspect missing from an accident scene] Okay, Charles, I see two possibilities. One, he was vaporized into a being of pure electricity, becoming a supervillain known only as "The Surge Freak."
Officer Rick : Seems unlikely.
Jake Peralta : Yeah, I know, Officer Rick, that's why I said there were two possibilities. He probably just hobbled off so he wouldn't get a DUI. Here, we'll follow this very obvious trail of blood. Happy now?
[Muttering to himself, as he and Charles leave]
Jake Peralta : Stupid Officer Rick and his stupid joyless approach to life!
-
Russ : She shot me! She shot me in the leg.
Dotty : You made a sudden motion!
Russ : I sneezed!
Jake Peralta : Okay, Dotty, what do you have a gun for?
Dotty : To protect myself. Cops are all wimps now.
[mockingly]
Dotty : My wife is having a baby and I have to be there to brush her hair.
Jake Peralta : I wasn't gonna brush her hair.
Charles Boyle : You weren't?
-
Jake Peralta : [about Holt and Terry, who are trapped in the elevator] Yeah, they're trapped in there.
Rosa Diaz : Oh no, that means we have to call the fire department.
Jake Peralta : Or, hear me out, we leave them in there forever, and move on emotionally.
-
Dotty : In my day, people respected police.
Jake Peralta : They respect us; they just have nowhere to go.
Dotty : God knows they won't go back to their own country.
Jake Peralta : Dotty, I really wish you weren't such a big part of my son's birth story.
