What he said about stepping up. It just sounds like it could be a quote from any one of my family members at any one Sunday dinner.

Danny: Cause when I see a bunch of look-a-like, dress-a-like, dirt bags carrying pipes and bats and sticks and such, I see a gang.
Kyle: We're a force for good.
Danny: No, you're everything you claim to hate only you're too stupid to see it.

I probably don't say it enough but you're one hell of a cop and you're one hell of a partner. I really, really need you to wake up. I really can't afford to lose you too.

Nicky: So, given no choice, would you put the welfare of your family above the law?
Frank: Yes, I would.
Danny: Thank you.
Frank: But when the dust settled I would walk down to the local precinct and turn my self in because nobody's above the law, and without the law, nobody is safe.

Anthony: You think I'm looking for happy endings in a sleazy massage parlor for kicks while I'm on duty?
Danny: That's not what I was saying. I mean, obviously it wasn't a happy ending, look how the hell it turned out for you.

You do realize I used to be in a two income household, now it's only one, and I used to have a partner and now I'm the only parent. I've gotta still raise these two boys.

Somehow, where the job used to seem noble, as a single parent now, it just kind of seems selfish.

The one thing I've learned is that life is beautiful, and it's sad but sometimes it's just practical. Money counts.

Jimmy: Last time I saw you, you dropped me off at a mob joint to catch a beat down.
Danny: That's because they were going to kill you for busting a champagne bottle over a made guy's head. I bargained for you life.
Jimmy: And you could get in trouble if I talked.
Danny: What? What you say?
Jimmy: Not that I'd do that Danny. I wouldn't do that.

You get locked up and your ass goes to prison, don't expect a visit from the family.

Danny: Amir's friend ID'd the shooter.
Erin: Yeah, but DeSilva was already in the back seat of the squad car when he was identified as the shooter.
Danny: So what?
Erin: So identifying him while he's in the backseat of a police car already handcuffed is suggestive. There's no way I can get a conviction.

It's not like I lack for partners. Baez is a god send, the boys are growing into the role. My family, they've always got my back. They're Reagans, it's how we're raised. I keep trying to remind myself I'm rich with partners but you're the only one that really matters.
