It is a time-honored tradition to kiss ass to get ahead. The trick is knowing which ass to kiss.

Frank

First you're going to deliver this car, and then you're going to die.

Bad guy

Eddie: Sorry to treat you like a perp.
Danny: Even more sorry you acted like one.

Garrett: The mayor wants to know when you will endorse this program.
Frank: He thought that was something you should ask me? I approved this program fully believing it would crash and burn under the weight of its own stupidity.

Cop: I was gonna go at him hard.
Jamie: Why didn't you?
Cop: I was afraid if I pushed too much, he'd shut down.
Jamie: In intelligence, all we have is our instincts. Trust your gut.

Frank: Maybe this incident will convince the mayor that solo patrol is a bad idea.
Paul: With all due respect, the same thing could have happened if he had a partner.
Frank: Where one can be overpowered, two can resist.
Paul: With all due respect to the Good Book, I'd say that the fact that this is the first injury in the 10 days of the pilot program means it's a good program.

Anthony: Hey. You look like you saw something scary.
Erin: I did. Me.

Eddie: Next time you have a stressful day, grab me and say 'Hey Jenko let's get a beer.'
McNichols: Really?
Eddie: Women in this business are few and far between. We might as well get drunk and bitch about things together.

Erin: You know, there's going to come a day when my grandfather can no longer do what he loves to do and that is going to break his heart.
Anthony: Let's make sure that day isn't today.

Joe: You didn't tell them?
Frank: I didn't see a reason to share the pain.
Henry: Because he was my grandson.
Danny: And our brother.
Joe: I don't get you guys. Sometimes you swear each other to secrecy for just long enough to blab to everybody and other times you say everything's on the table but it's not.

McNichols: You know, Reagan, a husband going on a fishing expedition because his wife doesn't have the guts to confront me herself isn't a good look.
Reagan: Thanks for the advice. A sergeant who cuts down her officers so she can take the case herself is a close second.

John: Naomi doesn't understand what we do.
Danny: We don't do cocaine. You do.
