Lucifer, Season 3

John Decker:
I know I've made mistakes, Chlo. Lots of them. But, honey, I've never underestimated you.

Chloe:
Then how come any time I've ever shown any interest in your job, you either change the subject or you push me away?

John Decker:
Because you're way smarter than me. You're more headstrong than your mother. And it scared me. I mean, what if you wanted to become a cop?

Chloe:
What if I did?

John Decker:
Oh, Monkey. I've been shot at, beat up, chased by a naked guy with a harpoon once. And none of those things scare me as much as thinking of you in those situations. It was never about whether you could handle it. It was whether I could. And I'm sorry. But a parent just wants what's best for their child.
