Quotes 

• Mayor Peter Chase : There he is.

  Frank Reagan : Mr. Mayor-Elect.

  Mayor Peter Chase : Just "Peter," Commissioner.

  Frank Reagan : Then just "Frank."

  Mayor Peter Chase : Please.

  Frank Reagan : Congratulations on your election.

  Mayor Peter Chase : Thank you.

  Frank Reagan : I got to say, none of the mayors I served under got the kind of margin you got.

  Mayor Peter Chase : Meaning, does he think he has a mandate? Just a fact. I think we ran a smart campaign. But it'd be dumb to take the credit for a tidal change. I just caught the wave. Here we are.

  Frank Reagan : And where is that?

  Mayor Peter Chase : Word is you don't enter a room without knowing why you've been invited.

  Frank Reagan : I heard rumors you want me to stay on.

  Mayor Peter Chase : I do.

  Mayor Peter Chase : When I like what somebody's doing, I want 'em to keep doing it.

  Frank Reagan : And when you don't?

  Mayor Peter Chase : You and I will talk. Not through channels, not through the press.

  Frank Reagan : Bucking a City Hall tradition that goes way back.

  Mayor Peter Chase : I had sit-downs with all the former mayors. Mayor Poole told me a story - you taking him on a ride-along.

  Frank Reagan : Mm.

  Mayor Peter Chase : Pointing out guys clearly packing weapons who you couldn't bust on account of his policies.

  Frank Reagan : I think it brought him conflict at the time.

  Mayor Peter Chase : I walked away thinking that's just plain wrong. I want the NYPD to reinstate Stop, Question and Frisk.

  Frank Reagan : Hey, at least you got the term right. That hardly ever happens.

  Mayor Peter Chase : Homework.

  Frank Reagan : We still employ a version of that.

  Mayor Peter Chase : A watered-down one. Bring it back to 100 proof. There's also a law on the books that's been dry-docked, 332. 10. Vagrancy enforcement. Tourism's a $44 billion business in this city. But not if Tex, Sven and Hideki are afraid to leave the hotel.

  Frank Reagan : And put the homeless where?

  Mayor Peter Chase : I'll redirect funding to more shelters. You hit the ground running.

  Frank Reagan : There's a lot of ground to cover. So, what's the ask? Word is you never enter a room without one.

  Mayor Peter Chase : I want you to make a personnel change. I have a couple of recommendations for your new DCPI. Garrett Moore is supremely fit for the job. He's smart, quick on his feet, well-liked by the press and all the city agencies.

  Frank Reagan : And that is a bad thing how?

  Mayor Peter Chase : He needs to be liked. He basks in being liked. He's a Labrador retriever, and you're gonna need a pit bull. I want to take this city back, and your guys are my Marines. There's gonna be pushback that Garrett's gonna cave under. And you know I'm right, as sure as you're sitting here.
