Brandon: I work in social services. Something I learned on the job: Understanding people is hard. We all jump to the wrong conclusions at times. No shame in it.

Julie: I was thinking I could get your help with neighborhoods. I know I can google 'best neighborhoods for new moms in Chicago,' but I'd rather land some insider knowledge from someone who's in these streets every day.
Brett: You've come to the right place. Trust me, I am the go-to house hunter at Firehouse 51.
Julie: Oh hey, there's a show called that: 'House Hunters.' Have you seen it?
Brett: I am the biggest fan in the world. I even roped my ex-fiance into marathoning the whole series with me.
Julie: Wait, what? Ex-fiance?
Brett: Oh uh, that's a whole other...
Julie: A whole other something I want to hear about. I know we have time, but I will take every Sylvie Brett story that I can get.

Seager: I’d love for you to come work for us Severide.
Severide: I appreciate the offer, but I’m happy where I am.
Seager: I thought you might say that but maybe take more a little more than half a second to think about it.

Mouch: I was thinking of giving up bacon for health reasons, but Trudy has two rules for men. No cats and no vegetarians.
Stella: I'd add sandals to that list.

I really don’t want to be getting in the middle of your drama, but I have to say my piece. There are three women on this shift. We need each other. We can’t be doing this. So I am asking, for a minute, set aside your own stuff and just hear each other out because 51 needs you, and I need you. Truce?

Cruz: Boden put a note on that truck.
Gallo: Like Capp said. Did he blast them?
Cruz: No, it was completely Boden. Very polite, very chill.
Ritter: We should get to shift early and mark chief’s spot.
Gallo: Who’s we?
Ritter: Us.
Cruz: Who are you?
Ritter: I’m the planner.

Boden: Actually, it’s me who owes you an apology. Your accident was a wakeup call for me. Look, we were all dealing with Otis’ death in our own way – some quietly, some making big changes in their life. For me, I had to find myself a project, and that was you.
Kidd: Chief.
Boden: I piled on you, and I piled on you. It’s not fair, and I am truly, genuinely sorry.
Kidd: Hey, I liked being your project. You showed me that I could be a leader in the CFD. You gave me more confidence – real confidence – than I ever had before that, and I appreciate that more than you know.
Boden: I’ve got to find a better way from which to mentor you from now on. Agreed?
Kidd: I just don’t want you to regret choosing me.
Boden: No, never.
Kidd: Thank you, chief. You mean the world to me.

So you saved a family and caught a psychopath? All in a day's work, huh?

Matt [to Gabby]

When Jones first arrived at 51, I made it clear that I wasn't someone she that could come to for help. I thought she needed a little tough love.

Severide

I wish my dad had my back the way you have Jacob’s. You want the best for him. I can respect that. He deserves it. He’s a good kid, but he’s not a firefighter, and if you come at this like a chief and not a father, you’ll see that. You wouldn’t send your men into a burning building with someone you knew wasn’t up to snuff. And you were right to blame me for what happened at the Academy, but the mistake I made was giving Jacob too many chances. I should have cut him sooner. I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but he’ll be OK. He’ll land on his feet wherever he ends up because he has a father who supports him.

Severide

Brett: You don’t have to try so hard with Casey. He’ll come around.
Granger: You two had something, didn’t you?
Brett: Uh, I don’t know. It’s a long story. It was somewhere between something and nothing, but it never got any further than…
Granger: You don’t have to confess anything to me. I can tell there’s more going on.
Brett: Do you want to get out of here?

Kannall: Matt Casey! Respectable guy. Officer on the CFD, happily married, and a damn alderman to boot.
Matt: Can't be entirely respectable.
Kannall: Just saying. You done good, brother. Considering the homes you and I came up in? It wasn't necessarily in the cards.

Chicago Fire Quotes

Kidd: I just got to keep busy. Working the bar’s good for that. Um, you know I’m gonna need some major distraction when I get home, right?
Severide: I think I can provide.
Kidd: You are so selfless.

Casey: Well, you gotta admit, he's happy.
Dawson: She's a graphic artist he met at the craps table. Her name is Brittany and she's from Florida? You know what that adds up to? Stripper!
Casey: What do you have against Florida?
