- Wallace Boden: Gentlemen, for the second time now, I'm gonna ask about the status of Molly's truck. There won't be a third time.
- Randall McHolland: The thing is, Chief, we can't get it started. And if we can't start it...
- Wallace Boden: Mouch, that an excuse that I'm hearing?
- Joe Cruz: We'll get it running, Chief. How are we gonna do that?
- Randall McHolland: Well... I think we have to go with the nuclear option.
- Joe Cruz: Which is?
- Randall McHolland: Hey, Capp?
- Capp: Yeah?
- Randall McHolland: Will you repair the food truck if 81 takes over Squad's bathroom duty for the rest of the year?
- Gabriela Dawson: Mouch!
- Christopher Herrmann: Hey! Mouch!
- Capp: Deal!
- Wallace Boden: Hey, Joe. I got some good news for you. *You* are back on the wheel.
- Joe Cruz: Say what?
- Wallace Boden: Your driving suspension has been withdrawn. Congratulations.
- Randall McHolland: You go to church or something recently?
- Joe Cruz: Sometimes, you got to believe, brother.
- Christopher Herrmann: [Truck E272's, their temporary replacement truck, engine stalls as Otis drives] Ah, jeez!
- Joe Cruz: OTIS!
- Brian Zvonecek: Sorry, my bad!
- Christopher Herrmann: How long till you can drive again?
- Joe Cruz: Ten weeks.
- Christopher Herrmann: Oof.
- Joe Cruz: [after Chief Boden told him his driving suspension was cancelled] Hey, Otis! Coach Boden called me into office!
- Brian Zvonecek: Are you guys ready for the ride of your lives? Hey, Joe. Man, what are you doing?
- Joe Cruz: I'm so sorry, Otis.
- Brian Zvonecek: Ha. Nephews, meet Joe Cruz. Joe *loves* to pretend he drives the truck. Okay.
- Joe Cruz: Nazdarovya.
- Brian Zvonecek: All right, get in there.
- Joe Cruz: Watch out, boys. Severide's looking for drinking buddies for tomorrow night.
- Brian Zvonecek: Again? My liver's still mad at me for Friday.
- Christopher Herrmann: That guy ought to spend a quiet night at home for once.
- Joe Cruz: Yeah, well, get your excuses ready.
- Capp: Yo, Truck 81, that bathroom's looking like a war zone.
- Joe Cruz: Yo, Capp, we're not on bathroom duty. It's Squad's month.
- Capp: Says who?
- Christopher Herrmann: Says me, acting lieutenant of Truck 81.
- Joe Cruz: Guess that settles that.
- Matthew Casey: Let me guess. Bad clams?
- Kelly Severide: Hung over.
- [alarm blares]
- Emergency dispatch: Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61, structure fire at the 1400 block of Ogden and Washington Avenue.
- Wallace Boden: Joe Cruz, see you a minute?
- Joe Cruz: Chief, I know I put Dawson and Casey in a tight spot up there, but I...
- Wallace Boden: No, no, no, no, Joe, what you did out there was exemplary work. Your quick thinking saved that man's life.
- Joe Cruz: Thank you, Chief. Just glad I saw him when I did. It was good running that truck again. Even if it wasn't from the driver's seat.
- Gabriela Dawson: Really? You're really not gonna say anything? Why do you keep letting me get away with that?
- Christopher Herrmann: You mean... you were doing it on purpose?
- Gabriela Dawson: For days now, yeah! And you haven't said a word! This was my worst fear, Herrmann, that you weren't gonna treat me like any other candidate.
- Christopher Herrmann: Dawson, if you wanted to be treated like any other candidate, you would've cooled your heels and waited for a spot to open in another house!
- Gabriela Dawson: Now we're gonna do this?
- Christopher Herrmann: Yeah, we are! 'Cause you insisted on working under Casey and now here we are! I want you to succeed Dawson. I wanna see that. I really do. But you got to admit that the dynamics of this situation are... challenging.
- Gabriela Dawson: Okay, so take me off of Casey's hands and let me shadow you on calls!
- Christopher Herrmann: You want to be on my hip?
- Gabriela Dawson: Yeah! I think I could learn a lot from you!
- Christopher Herrmann: Okay.
- Gabriela Dawson: Okay.
- Christopher Herrmann: You can start by closing your compartment doors.
- Gabriela Dawson: Copy that!
- Wallace Boden: Hey.
- Matthew Casey: Hey, Chief.
- Wallace Boden: Don't act so damn surprised. I have been in a bar before, Lieutenant.
- Matthew Casey: No, I know. I just... don't see you here much.
- Wallace Boden: Donna wanted some time to herself. She's been a little... unpredictable lately.
- Matthew Casey: Chief, can I ask you a question? What did it cost you to get Cruz off his suspension?
- Wallace Boden: I won't be included in the next round of promotions. That much I know. But we got to stand up for our people. Even if it's a tough fight.
