Danny: Seems like the judge took a double header off the roof.
Anthony: On his own?
Danny: Who knows. Maybe it was an accident.
Erin: It wasn't. Chou Lin did this. She's trying to force a mistrial. And I need you to prove it.

Regina Thomas: Ooh... new furniture. You could get busy on this couch.
Frank: I am busy.

Judge: I'm going to skip the ending. I just ate breakfast.
Defense attorney I agree with you, Judge. Allowing the jury to see this tape would be grossly prejudicial.
Erin: I agree with the gross part. Maybe your client should stop torturing the competition.

The acting mayor, she opposes the plan.

Garrett

Baez: Maybe he can help, Danny.
Danny: No, I've worked with him before. He's a pain in the ass.
Anthony: You're a pain in the ass too.

I admire your strength. My competitors think they can take advantage of me because I'm a woman. They think it means I'm weak.

Ms. Chou

Regina: Look, you always talk about enhanced police presence. I'm now calling that 'answered prayers'.
Frank: Since when?
Regina: Since I saw the light.
Frank: Light being?
Regina: Mayor Poole did his best to get along with you.
Frank: Not always.
Regina: Not always, but more than anyone thought he would.
Frank: I drove him into early retirement.
Regina: But you're the last man standing.
Frank: I'm not sure what that means, Regina.
Regina: It means, if you're me, lookin' at you, you're thinking to yourself, 'Ooof. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'"
Frank: Don't kid a kidder.
Regina: Frank, the plan is a good one. I think it's good for the city.
Frank: In minority neighborhoods?
Regina: As long as we can frame it that the beat cop's gonna know your name and your kid's name...
Frank: That doesn't sell Mayor Dutton.
Regina: Well, when was the last time anybody stopped and frisked her?
Frank: Got it.
Regina: And I don't think we need her. She's got great connections on all the luxury floors where she lives, but if you want to get this past, you need to come down to the ground floor, where the City Council lives.

Ms. Chou: You said your name was Reagan?
Danny: Yes.
Ms. Chou: Just like the DA. What a fine, upstanding citizen. You should be so proud.

Danny: Why'd you lie?
Joe: I forgot.
Danny: You forgot?
Joe: I went up to the roof for a few minutes to check on some wiring. It was an honest mistake.
Danny: An honest mistake? No. Forgetting your keys is an honest mistake. Homicide is not a mistake.

Frank: You're trying to use this to pave your way to Gracie Mansion.
Regina: I'm backing your plan because it's a good plan. My base doesn't want this. They're probably gonna be outside my office with pitchforks and torches. None of them wants more cops.
Frank: The smart ones would.
Regina: The smart ones?
Frank: You know what I mean.
Regina: There are no smart ones. The smart ones all left. What's left is the real ones, and none of them thinks cops are heroes.

Nicky: I'd do just about anything to end income inequality.
Frank: How fitting that you are now sitting on my left.

Frank: You remember civics class back in the day?
Regina: Yeah.
Frank: The three branches of government.
Regina: Yeah.
Frank: Okay. In this city, I'm judicial, you're legislative, she's executive.
Regina: Are you actually giving me a civics lesson right now?
Frank: Regina! We stood witness when she was sworn in! That means you and I agreed to uphold the duties of our offices under her administration. That's what I'm gonna do. I am going back to City Hall to see the Mayor to make one more push. It would be helpful if you came with me.
Regina: Why would I do that?
Frank: Because one day you may well be mayor, and you sure as hell gonna want people to respect your office.
