The Rookie
Tuesdays 9:00 PM on ABCTim Bradford Quotes
Lucy: To be clear, I am still mad at you, okay? This doesn't change anything.
Tim: No, it doesn't.
Lucy: Are you okay?
Tim: I am now.
Grey: That wasn't awkward at all.
Bradford: Believe it or not, this is better than it has been.
Grey: Well, you need to fix it. Dysfunction kills team efficiency, and I'm not going out like that, so you need to work it out. Otherwise, I'm going to have to choose who stays or who transfers to North Hollywood, and trust me, it won't be Officer Chen who goes.
Mad Dog: It wasn't supposed to go down like this?
Bradford: What do you mean? Did you compromise the op?
Thorsen: Can I ask you why y'all split up?
Bradford: No.
Tim: I own my mistakes and I move on.
Blair: Except you haven't. How could you when your whole image is acting honorably?
Angela: I'm your BFF, I know you.
Tim: I'm a grown man. I don't have a BFF.
Angela: Technically you can only have one BFF.
Angela: I'm in.
Tim: You sure?
Angela: I got your back, boo.
I put my career above my oath, and two soldiers, two decent men, didn't come home that night. And I'm going to have to live with that for the rest of my life.
Tim: What are you doing?
Angela: Being a friend. What are you doing? Talk.
Tim: I can't. For your own good.
Angela: Are you engaged in a criminal act?
Tim: Not at the moment.
Angela: Then tell me.
Tim: Angela... if this goes sideways and you're anywhere near it, you could be fired.
Angela: If Lucy gets fired, it's a problem. If I get fired, I start living off my husband's trust fund and call it wine o'clock, so spill.
Tim: Lucy, I've been lying to myself for a long time. That's clear to me now, and I can't just go back to way things were, not right now. Maybe never.
Lucy: Wait, are you breaking up with me?
Tim: I'm sorry.
Lucy: You know, you don't get to do that. You don't get to lie to me and then use that as an excuse to leave me. That's not okay. What you're doing is not okay.
Tim: I know. You, you are an incredible person. No, you're incredible. You deserve so much better.
Lucy: Oh my God.
Tim: That's why I'm walking away.
Lucy: Don't do this; why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?
Tim: I'm sorry.
Lucy: Stop trying to protect me, Tim!
Tim: I can't. I won't.
Lucy: You read Lopez in!
Tim: It's different!
Lucy: How?
Tim: She has less to lose than you! Please, just steer clear of this for me, okay?
Lucy: I can't. I won't. You clearly need help, and I'm done playing the good girlfriend. You don't have to tell me everything, but you will let me in.
Lucy: Telling me you're alive is not optional. What the hell are you into that's making you so crazy?
Tim: I can't tell you.
Lucy: Why?
Tim: Because even telling you can put you at risk.
