Director: Guys, your friend sounds terrific, he really does. And of course we support our first responders, but we’re hosting a big Pee Wee football fundraiser. It’s been on the books for months. Wish I could help.
Violet: Couldn’t we just borrow a little piece of the field for like 20 minutes?
Ritter: If you met Randall, you’d understand how much he deserves this. He’s devoted his life to helping others.
Gallo: His best years in fact, and he really doesn’t have that many left.
Violet: Yeah, he’s basically… he’s dying.
Gallo: And he’s blind in both eyes.
Director: A blind firefighter?

Now, none of the action Randall took that day surprised any of us. He’s a brave and humble man and wouldn’t apply the word hero to himself, but make no mistake, that is exactly what he is. He is also a good friend, and it is my honor to call up my friend Randall McHolland to accept his medal.

Platt: That’s your idea. A fancy pants private club?
Gallo: We thought it seemed like the perfect place for a medal ceremony.
Platt: For you, if you ever earn a medal, but this is Randall McHolland we’re talking about here.
Ritter: We didn’t mean any disrespect.
Violet: No, not at all. Can you give us an idea…
Platt: Soldier Field.
Ritter: Soldier Field?
Platt: On the 50 yard line. That’s the idea to beat.
Violet: Absolutely.
Platt: OK then. Make it happen.
Violet: Wow, she’s just…
Gallo: I know.
Violet: Amazing.

Severide: I’ve been rethinking things.
Casey: How do you mean?
Severide: This marriage idea, maybe it’s not the best move.
Casey: That’s just the nerves talking.
Severide: No, I’m talking about something she said when we first got together. She wanted to lay it all out there, so she brought up her marriage. She said, ‘I’ll never do it again because I don’t want to be in a situation where I can’t just leave.’
Casey: That was a long time ago. I’m not gonna fight you. I get where you’re coming from.

Severide: So how did it go talking to Dawson?
Casey: A little weird since it’s been a while. We were gonna talk again after the medal ceremony. It’ll give us more time to catch up. I have a feeling that conversation will tell me a lot.

Violet: I’ve been meaning to ask, how are things with Grainger. I haven’t seen him at Molly’s in a while.
Brett: Uh, yeah, we broke up.
Violet: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.
Brett: Greg is a great guy. It had nothing to do with him. I’m the problem, looking for something I can never have.
Violet: What makes you so sure you can’t? From what I’ve seen you already do. I picked up on it the day I got to 51. You and Casey, the way you are with each other, it’s kind of undeniable.

Cruz: But I would still get to work shifts at 51?
Mark: No, Joe, this is not a part-time job we’re talking about. Do you want to be a firefighter, or do you want to be rich?
Cruz: Maybe I should sleep on it.
Mark: Joe I watched you dangle from a rope 100 feet off the ground like it was nothing. Don’t you tell me you’re afraid of success.
Cruz: I’m just not sure this is right for me.
Mark: What the hell man? I thought you were serious about growing your company. I already sold my partners on this.
Cruz: I’m sorry for wasting your time.
Mark: Joe, I’m trying to change your life here.
Cruz: I like my life the way it is.

Headquarters called. Exam results are in. So I’m gonna need a round for the house, lieutenant.

Casey: You two have that connection we saw with Pete and his wife, the thing people look for their whole lives. My advice, you’re overthinking this marriage thing. You don’t need to talk it over with Stella. You just need to propose. You think I’m wrong?
Severide: No, you’re probably dead on, but you’re telling me to stop second guessing everything and take action.
Casey: In so many words.
Severide: Then I’d say maybe you should take your own advice.

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.

Gallo: Oh my god, that was the most stress we’ve had on this job, and I’m including the gas station call from a few months ago.
Ritter: Mouch had a running commentary on every sale I made, most of which was abject disappointment.
Gallo: Well, I’m glad to turn it over to him for a couple of hours.
Ritter: Yeah.

Severide: Are you ever going to tell her?
Casey: Tell her what?
Severide: You know what.
Casey: It’s not that simple. She’s the one that called things off, said Dawson was always going to be between us.
Severide: Think she’s right?

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?
