The Closer2005
Captain Sharon Raydor:
May I ask you a question?
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
Sure, Captain. Why not?
Captain Sharon Raydor:
Do you really not want to be Chief of Police?
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
No, I don't.
Captain Sharon Raydor:
And as a woman, don't you feel an obligation to at least give it a try?
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
As a woman, I feel I've earned the right to options, and one of my options should be to say no.
Captain Sharon Raydor:
You don't think that I wanted to spend my career in Internal Affairs, doing a job that leaves me disliked and mistrusted by my fellow officers every day of my life? No, I chose I.A. because I thought it was the quickest way to achieve rank. And I also thought it'd be good for the department to see a woman in a Captain's uniform. And, of course, you got your job the old-fashioned way.
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
How's that?
Captain Sharon Raydor:
By sleeping with the boss. That's not an insult. It is a time-honored way of moving forward, but those roads are not open to everyone, and you have the chance to maybe change that a little
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson:
So, you're saying I should take the job whether I want it or not.
Captain Sharon Raydor:
Yes. Please make the oh-so-terrible sacrifice of accepting a promotion that offers you more money, prestige, and power than any other job in the city. And, if it will help you with the suffering, you'll not only be a positive role model for little girls all over this country, but I personally will feel very... I will feel very proud to have a Chief that I can truly admire.
