Third Watch, Season 4

Emily (to Bosco):
What happened?

Bosco:
Em, I need you to come with me. You and Charlie.

Emily:
Is my mom hurt?

Bosco:
No, your mom's fine.

Emily:
Alright, then what?

Bosco:
Your dad is sick.

Emily:
My dad?

Bosco:
Yeah, we need to go to the hospital.

Emily:
What's wrong with him?

Bosco:
He's sick, Em.

Emily:
How sick?

Bosco:
Look, we have to go right now.

Emily:
Okay, um, let me wake Charlie up. Seeing you will scare him. Does my dad need anything? Any clothes, anything?

Bosco:
You mom said just to bring you guys down there.

Davis:
I think they're gone.

Sully:
They might be gone.

Davis:
Well, it's now or never, let's go get 'em.

Sully:
Wait. What do we got here, huh? A hooker and her date? What was she doing pulling tricks in the middle of a riot? And she doesn't even know his name.

Davis:
What difference does that make?

Sully:
Because I'm not getting us killed over some whore.

Davis:
I'm getting them outta here.

Davis:
I don't need a lecture, Sul.

Sully:
What did you say?

Davis:
Well, that's what you're pulling me over here for, right? Give me a big 'ol lesson on the real world, how it works? I know how it works, man. I know what's goin' on. I don't really care what they do. I just want them to call it what it is. They want to hide her from the guy's wife. They don't wanna put her in a more private room.

Sully:
They're not gonna call it what it is. That's not how they do things, and it's not gonna change. So, why don't you just smile and let them do what they're gonna do? Unless, you can see an upside to sticking your face out in front of it, and pissing people off. People who control your career.

Davis:
This sucks, man. You know? Sucks.

Carlos:
Are you out of your mind?

Doc:
Look, they need help.

Carlos:
It's right in the middle of everything.

Doc:
If you don't wanna go, don't.

Carlos:
I'm just saying that we should have a plan before we rush into the middle of.... (Doc just keeps walking) You're not even listening to me!

Emily:
The sun's coming up.

Faith:
Already?

Emily:
We're not going to school today, right?

Faith:
No, you're not going to school today. (Emily sits down) How you doin' over there, kiddo?

Emily:
I'm okay.

Faith:
That was nice before how you made Charlie feel better.

Emily:
He's just a kid.

Faith:
Yeah, he is.

Faith:
Did you really think that you were gonna go to school today?

Emily:
Not really.

Doc:
I want to talk this out.

Carlos:
Oh, now you wanna talk? You didn't wanna talk when I wanted to stay and help that out man. You didn't want to talk before running into a middle of a riot.

Doc:
We had an assignment.

Carlos:
We had 30 assignments waiting, but I guess they weren't important enough for you.

Doc:
Is that right?

Carlos:
You pick and choose what we're gonna do, who we're supposed to care about. What's that?

Doc:
Come on, there were cops calling for help!

Carlos:
And I would've gone! I just wanted to be asked, man. You didn't even give me a chance!

Doc:
Because I'm the one who makes those decisions.

Carlos:
Just like you decided that I was gonna take that guy's money?

Doc:
So, that's what this is really about?

Carlos:
No, no, it's about you. You don't want to talk to me. You want to talk at me. And I'm over it. I'm over you.

Doc:
You think I give a damn what you're over? Huh?

Carlos:
No, you don't. And that's your problem.

Doc:
No, that's your problem because I am your superior and my word is final and you can't deal with that!

Carlos:
Oh, whatever.

Doc:
I was doing this job when you were learning to walk, okay, so you could be as pissed as you want to be, but you damn well better respect that!

Carlos:
You're proud of that? All that means is you were never good enough to move up. (Doc shoves Carlos) You wanna hit me again? Go ahead, take it all out on me. You selfish son of a bitch.

Doc:
You're calling me selfish?

Carlos:
I'm calling you selfish!

Doc:
You, of all people. You know what, I'm not the one who gave away his kid because I thought it would be a pain in my ass.

Carlos:
You know what? You're nothing but a sad, miserable, old man who's got nothing but a little bit of power and a crappy little job.

Doc:
I'm not miserable.

Carlos:
Really?

Doc:
Yeah.

Carlos:
Well, hooray for you. Can I go now, sir?

Sully (to Davis):
You ready to go?

Davis:
No, I'm good. I think I'm gonna be here when Nancy comes around. Maybe I can get her to tell me what really happened.

Sully:
This is not the kind of thing you want to get too involved in.

Davis:
Thanks, Dad. I'm good, all right? You go ahead, I'll get a ride with somebody. I'm a hero. I'm a hero cop, I'll get a ride with somebody.

Bosco (to Latrell):
That kid lived.

Latrell:
Good.

Bosco:
You did a good job with him.

Latrell:
Whatever, man.

Bosco:
You ever though about being a medic out here? For the city?

Latrell:
I'm on the list. At least I was until this narcotics arrest.

Bosco (turns around):
I need Griffith kicked loose.

Cop:
Yeah?

Bosco:
I lost the evidence.

Cop:
Go get it signed off by the boss and he's all yours.

Bosco:
Right. (turns back to Latrell) When I call for a bus, you better put me at the top of the list.

Reyes (to Bosco):
I have no idea what I'm gonna need in there, but when I need it, I'll need it fast. And you're the one who has to get it for me. You screw it up and some of my men die tonight. You have the potential to be a good cop. You hear what I said? Potential. But you got some serious problems. You're a little bit fearless. And not having any fear out here just means you're stupid, and stupid gets people killed. I am not here to mother you or to coddle you or to fix things every time you step on your johnson. I am your boss. I am not Faith Yokas.

Sully:
I don't know, Ty. She's fooled me before but this last thing, I just can't wrap my brain around.

Davis:
Well, what did you say to Madjanski? Did you defend her?

Sully:
Defend her? I didn't even tell him that I knew her. I mean, what am I gonna say, "my wife may be a whore, but she's no murderer"? Madjanski says that she was with him just two weeks ago.

Davis:
Well, we know that she was at that club.

Cruz (about Reyes):
You can tell that pig boss of yours that I am sick of cleaning up after her, okay? This ain't her house and I ain't her maid.

Faith (to Faith):
I'm not saying that I don't believe you. If you tell me that you saw Jesus. I believe you. … What did he say to you?

Fred:
He said a lot, not a whole lot in words, you know, I felt him. I could feel him reach his arms under mine, and he lifted me up. He lifted me up Faith, straight up, and he carried me on his back from the darkness to the light.

Faith:
Okay, but just so you know, there's a good chance that that was me. I was holding you in the elevator. I was the one who pried open the door and I lifted you out under your arms, and I carried you through that building. I carried you through that dark building, out into the street just as the lights were coming back on. (laughs)

Fred:
I really didn't expect you to believe me. And I don't need you to believe me, either. I know what I saw. I know what I felt. I know it was in my soul, and nothing can take that away.

Madjanski (to Sully):
You wanna tell me what the hell you were doing running Natasha Gurin's fingerprints?

Sully:
None of your damn business.

Madjanski:
Look, I'm organized crime. The Russian mob is my domain.

Sully:
Russian mob?

Madjanski:
Sullivan, look, I know you got a hard-on for Chevchenko. Getting caught up in his crossfire, your hero partner taking a bullet, and now today you just happen to be watching over my floater? You think I'm stupid?

Sully:
What the hell does this girl have to do with all of that?

Madjanski:
Don't play me. Where'd you get the prints?

Sully:
A buddy of mine took her out, okay? He asked me to check on her.

Madjanski:
Your buddy took her out?

Sully:
That's what I said.

Madjanski:
Is he a Russian businessman by any chance? 'Cause if he is, and he's still breathin' then he's a lot luckier than that heap that washed up today. I got ten Russian businessmen in the past two years. They get lured in by some hot broad and the next thing you know, there's a million dollar price tag on their heads. Russian families shell out, and these guy's turn up dead anyway. And I'm pretty sure this Natasha's one of these decoy broads. I got pictures of her in Chevchenko's company less than two weeks ago. I am just starting to get close to this bastard and if you screw this up for me, I will have your ass.

Sully:
What are you threatening me?

Madjanski:
I want your buddies name by tomorrow. Otherwise we'll get bosses involved. You take that anyway you want.

Faith:
I was 14 and I fought with my mother but I never wished that she was dead.

Bosco:
I think you're overreacting.

Faith:
Yeah, well she better cool it or I'm gonna overreact my foot up her rump.

Bosco:
Why would Miguel lie to say he cut school today?

Yokas:
Because whatever he really did was worse.

Bosco (to Miguel):
You're 11?

Miguel:
Yeah, and I'm almost 12.

Bosco:
I'm sure I'll be seeing you again. Real soon.

Emily:
We don't believe in ATMs.

Bank Guard:
What's to believe in?

(When Bosco is dressed up as a paramedic)

Bosco:
How do I look?

Davis:
I wouldn't let you work on me.

(When Carlos gives Bosco his uniform)

Carlos:
Jeez, it's freezing.

Davis:
Well, you're in your underwear, Carlos.

Bosco:
It's for a good cause.

Carlos:
Thank God I wore underwear today.

Emily (voiceover):
I kind of know some of what my mom's days are like now, what kind of people she's around. I wish I didn't. I know something else too. I know that my mother would actually step in front of a gun for me, because she did. How do you ever tell someone how much that means?

Yokas:
When you have a boss it's not about whether or not you're right or wrong, it's about making them right.

Yokas (about Sully):
His, uh, attitude is a bit much.

Davis:
Yeah, that's Sully.

Yokas:
No, it's more like, uh, Sully cubed.

Miguel (about Bosco):
I thought you had to be smart to be a cop.

Cruz:
There's an exception to every rule.

Bosco:
How's Emily doing?

Yokas:
She's all right. I gave her a couple of days off from school.

Bosco:
What do you write on the note for that? "Please excuse my daughter's absence. I accidentally got bank robber brains on her."

Margo (about Sully's mom):
You just want to visit for a minute?

Sully:
No, I want to bring her out here and tango with her and take her to the Met.

Cruz:
I'm having a bad day, Dell and when that happens, you have a worse day.

Bosco:
I thought I knew what I was doing out here, but I guess I don't.

Cruz:
Smartest thing I heard you say.

Nancy (to Davis):
You're not like the rest of the cops.

Davis:
Why? 'Cause I read a book?

Nancy:
Because you still haven't stopped believing that the good guys always win and the bad guys always lose. It's sweet. Really.

Chief Hancock:
You are a real pain in the ass, Davis.

Davis:
From you, sir, that's kind of a compliment.

Yokas:
I don't think anything is worth terrorizing children over.

Bosco:
These people shot a 12-year-old kid in the back of an ambulance.

Cruz (about Vernon):
Here's what he's gonna do. He's gonna take his beating, he's gonna collect his million dollar settlement the city gives him, while they take your entire future away.

Bosco:
I can live with that.

Carlos:
My first day I was a half an hour early.

Kim:
Yeah, and the fire guys made you stand right over there for the 30 minutes until we got here.

Carlos:
No, no. It was more like over there.

Yokas:
In extreme situations, Emily, you have to use your gun.

Emily:
Like Cameron?

Yokas:
Like who?

Emily:
The bank robber.

Yokas:
Yeah, I know who he is. I didn't know that you referred to him by his first name.

Yokas:
I think a daughter asking her mother how many people she's killed is unnatural.

Daryl:
Look, I am a very sick man.

Yokas:
And a bad actor.

Daryl:
She pushed me.

Doc:
Yeah, yeah.

Yokas:
He hit his head fleeing a burglary.

Bosco:
While he was robbing an old lady who was actually nice to him.

Daryl:
Yeah and now my head hurts and I think I might have brain trauma.

Doc:
You have any pain anywhere else?

Yokas:
He's gonna if he keeps blaming me!

Yokas (to Daryl):
Do you realize that we are authorized to shoot a fleeing prisoner?

Daryl:
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. I lost my senses.

Yokas:
It doesn't even matter what they were originally arrested for!

Daryl:
I'd put my hands up see, but…but I can't. I surrender.

Bosco:
If you make another request for medical treatment, you'll be eating Jell-O out of a straw for two weeks.

Doc:
Call me "Doc."

Yvette:
Guess you can call me "dumb-ass rookie."

Prosecutor (about Carlos):
This is a serious offense against a minor. He grabbed her breast while he was treating her.

Carlos:
No, that's not... I was putting a sling on her arm.

Defense Attorney (to Carlos):
Shut up.

Carlos:
Okay, who are you again?

Gail the Union Rep. (to Carlos):
Have you ever dated a patient? More specifically, did you have sex with a patient under your care and impregnate her?

Carlos:
We had a consensual kind of relationship.

Gail:
When she complained to the department did you state that this young woman was "nuttier than a damn fruitcake" and that when she came to at the accident scene, the day you met and subsequently had sex with her, that she thought you were her guardian angel sent from heaven. So this consensual relationship was, by your own statements, with a mentally disturbed woman?

Bosco (to Yokas):
A domestic?

Yokas:
Ah, definitely not one of my favorite things.

Bosco (to Claire about the lamp that had flew out of the window and hit the car):
This doesn't match anything in my place.

Carlos (to Doc):
Didn't I tell you? Everyone who works with her gets screwed somehow.

Kim:
What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Carlos:
If this is about us not working out, I'm sorry.

Kim:
"Us"?

Carlos:
Let's not pretend that we didn't have a romantic history. If that's why you're not backing here then I'm sorry, you've got some problems.

Kim:
You're delusional, Carlos. You can't even pass a woman without making some juvenile creepy comment. If you "accidentally" ever touched any part of my body, I'd want to be boiled.

Carlos:
No, I'm not going to let some crazy bitch ruin my life.

Kim:
You talking about me or that girl?

Carlos:
Take your pick.

D.K.:
I'm no one's tart du jour, baby.

Carlos:
[to Davis]: How many of our brethren you think aren't answering their phones?

Davis:
I'm gonna say most of them.

Carlos:
Wait a minute, why are we again?

Davis:
Because unlike them we are responsible city employees who are idiots and didn't know there was a storm coming.

Bosco (as he reads a driver's license of an overdosed teen):
Eric Beckman, you dumbass.

Fred:
Chapels are comforting.

Yokas:
Fred, it's just a closet. The hospital decided to call it a chapel. If that makes you feel comforted, you knock yourself out.

Fred (about Emily):
I remember her telling me how to tie her shoes when she was like 4. She wanted the bunny ears.

Yokas:
I still tie my shoes like that.

Fred:
You two are so much alike.

Yokas:
Like oil and water.

Bosco (to Lettie):
You're like a child touching fire and everyone keeps you from burning yourself.

Bosco (as they go to arrrest someone, but they're already gone):
How could they have known we were coming? We were being so inconspicuous and all.

Bosco (to Cruz):
Well, in case you're not keeping score, we haven't arrested anybody yet.

(In Yokas's flashback to when she first met Bosco)

Bosco (to Yokas):
Mother?

Yokas:
Excuse me?

Bosco:
You look like a mother.

Yokas:
Yeah, actually I have two ki... (Bosco walks away) You look like an ass.

(When the woman who gave birth at the fire asks Bosco his name)

Woman:
I'm sorry, I'm just not naming my son Maurice.

Bosco:
I don't blame you.

Lt. Johnson:
You're giving me gray hairs, Jimmy.

Yokas (to Bosco):
You're still smirking.

Bosco:
I am?

Yokas:
Yeah, it's your "getting some" smirk.

Yokas:
When you're responding to a 10-13 you know it's only going to take a few seconds to get there. But when you're the one that's calling for help it feels like forever.

Doc:
Any Funkadelic fan is a friend of mine.

Yokas (to Cruz):
You make me sick.

Cruz:
I am the Anti-Crime sergeant. We lock people up. That is our job.

Yokas:
Yeah. Yeah, I've seen you do your job up close. It's very impressive.

Davis (to Sully):
I was always pretty happy riding with you. Learning from you, but, uh, I don't know you anymore, man. I tried to help you. I tried to get you to let me in, and you bit me for it, and it's cool. I understand. I understand…I know you've been through the worst kind of hell, but you can't just... Sul, I can't help you if you won't let me. But at the same time, I'm not just gonna stand around and just watch you go down. I can't do it. I can't. I tried. I'm sorry, I can't. So, um, I got to move on. And it's not about being more than the bag. It's not. It's about getting away from you.

Yokas (to Bosco):
Nobody should say anything about your little Anti-Crime girlfriend! (pauses) Oh, my God.

Bosco:
What? What?

Yokas:
Oh, my God. She's the girlfriend.

Bosco:
No.

Yokas:
You're lying.

Bosco:
I wouldn't lie.

Yokas:
You already lied.

Carlos:
What is this woman, a track star? How'd she get away so fast?

Davis (to Kim):
I got the wind knocked out of me, that's all.

Kim:
Falling four flights will do that to you, superboy.

Proctor (to Davis):
Try not to fall off anymore buildings on your way out of here.

Davis:
Yes ma'am.

Carlos:
Drive-thru plumbing supply store. I don't know if that idea's gonna catch on.

DK:
Can this day get anymore exciting?

[a car crashes into a building]

Jimmy:
Apparently it can.

Sully (to Davis):
Your old man, he said I was pushing this guy into a corner he couldn't get out of and it wasn't smart. But seeing as how he was supporting two families and stealing every dollar he could get his hands on, I didn't think he was a good person to take advice from!

Sully:
I'm not worth this.

Davis:
Why not? You tell me why not.

Sully:
The bullet that killed your father was meant for me.

Davis (to Sully):
You are not responsible for me. I knew damn good and well what I was doing when I walked into that restaurant. And what, because of you I got shot? Please, I'm smarter than that.

Sully:
It was me.

Davis:
No, it was me! And Tatiana died when they killed her son. Had nothing to do with you. Her life caught up with her. And my dad…was a grown man, and he was standing next to you in that park for the same reason I'm standing here right now.

(When Aaron Noble is bleeding from a stab wound)

Kim:
How's your breathing?

Aaron Noble:
Pretty good, pretty good, yours?

Kim:
You lose consciousness at all?

Aaron Noble:
Well, once in the 60s. But, ah well, it was the 60s.

Kim (to Aaron):
Why would you leave if you were hurt?

Aaron Noble:
I don't know. I get frequent bleeder miles at another hospital.

Kim:
Great, more jokes.

Kim (to Doc):
How come we never get the overturned armored car jobs?

Doc:
Because we're lucky.

Kim:
Yeah, it would be hard not to accidentally let a few bucks fall into our med bag.

Doc:
That's why we're lucky.

Yokas (to Swersky) We got it, sir.

Bosco (to Swersky, sarcastically) We got it sir. (to Yokas) Kiss up.

Yokas:
Shut up!

Faith:
You're a little boy, Bosco. You're a selfish little boy. I used to feel sorry for you, but now I just want you the hell away from me.

Bosco:
Well, why not? That's the way you handle people. Keep them at a distance as soon as they become a problem.

Bosco:
Oh, this world would be such a better place without people.

Noble:
I was doing research, for a book.

Bosco:
Oh my gosh. You know what? Please accept our apologies. Sarge! Sarge stop searching the car. He was only doing research for a book.

Cruz:
Oh, didn't somebody already write "Dumb and Dumber?"

Carlos:
I hate working with Levine. She's always talking about her dead husband.

Kim:
All right, no jokes about her dead husband.

Carlos:
It's kind of hard not to when she carries his ashes around her neck.

Kim:
I thought that was potpourri.

Yokas:
If Special K didn't work, maybe they'll try X or Heroin and then Eric will start dealing to all the little kids. And then a crew will start coming to Emily because they'll know that she has the hook-up. Then Eric OD's at some unsupervised party, but now Emily's getting a cut. And she just switched from Loehman's to Saks and there's no way that she's going back. So when little Suzy Smith shows up in the emergency room and I get called, Suzy pins Emily for selling her the dope. And then she and Eric end up in Juvie. Only upon their release this one gets knocked up by this mope. And then he decides, to keep her from turning a few tricks every now and again, the two of them will start selling drugs out the back of some seedy club bathroom. And meanwhile, I'm at home, a widow because your father's heart exploded from the stress wondering why I just didn't lock up this skel in the first place!

Yokas (to Emily):
Did you buy the drugs with him?

Emily:
I already answered this question. No, I did not.

Yokas:
Then he is a liar, Emily. And that is not love. That is somebody who doesn't even like you.

Monroe:
That's just Cruz. It's when she's not bitchy that I get worried. She's insecure, overcompensates, and never lets anyone forget that she's in charge.

Yokas:
Yeah, that's her in a nutshell.

Monroe:
Yeah, but she's weak. And the weak always get what's coming.

Bosco:
Destroying city property, littering, riding without a helmet. It's a one-man crime wave.

Cruz (to Noble):
According to this, you and him got a little cozy not too long ago.

Noble:
It's "you and he" and we didn't get cozy.

Doc (to Alex):
I'm not putting up with an attitude all day. When we get to the scene, you do your job, period. So you got two blocks to get it out of your system.

Cruz:
[to Bosco while on a car chase] Don't tell me that was him.

Bosco:
I think it was him.

Cruz:
I said not to tell me that.

Cruz (while on the phone with Aaron Noble):
Hey Noble, guess what I'm doing?

Noble:
I'm really not in the mood for this now.

Cruz:
I'm in a car chase. And you know what? I hate chases, Noble!

Bosco (after seeing that nobody's driving the car):
What should I do?

Cruz:
I sure as hell don't know!

Lt. Johnson:
Attention ladies!

Taylor:
Easy boss, these are no ladies.

Lt. Johnson:
My apologies to you actual ladies.

Taylor:
I don't really like riding on the ambulance anymore.

Old Man:
If you don't mind, we're glad you are.

Taylor:
Don't tell anyone, but right now I am too.

Carlos:
[to Doc after Alex is killed by the explosion] Doc, you don't...

Doc:
What?

Carlos:
Doc, she's uh...

Doc:
Did you give her CPR?

Carlos:
Doc, she...

Doc:
Did you clear her airway?

Carlos:
She's gone.

Doc:
What are her vitals?

Carlos:
She's gone.

Doc:
What are her vitals?!

Carlos:
I'm sorry.

Doc:
Breathing, bleeding, airway?

Carlos:
There was nothing to be done.

Bosco:
You don't look so good, writer boy.

Noble:
I learned something about being an informant.

Bosco:
Yeah?

Noble:
It's probably not a good idea for one to give up all their own personal connections.

Mrs. Taylor (to Davis):
Officer, could you turn off the lights and siren? I don't care if it takes a little bit longer to get there.

Davis:
Yes, ma'am.

Bosco (to Cruz about Noble):
Let this jagoff take the fall he earned!

Doc:
You know how this day's going to be remembered? Alex died, and I got a promotion.
