Platt: Anyway, I want you to help me spread some manure.
Halstead: Ah, crap.
Platt: Turkey crap to be exact.

Kareem: You want me to tell you what was up in that stash house? What was taken?
Voight: Stolen. From your criminal enterprise. Yes, that's correct.
Prophet: This is entrapment, man.
Voight: I look like I give a damn about making a drug bust?

Halstead: So, if you're conscience is clear, why'd you run?
West: Why'd I run?
Halstead: Yeah.
West: From the cops. (laughs) You know until you shared that, I thought we was vibin' man. Felt like you could really relate to my life. Poor black man in Chicago and all.
Halstead: Don't go there with me.
West: Like you would understand. Cause you would know. Poor black man in Chicago, cops bust your door and you run whether you did something or not. You run until one of three things happen: you get caught, you get away, or you're dead.

Halstead: Sarge, Did I?
Voight: Did you what?
Halstead: I just wanted to make the case so damn bad. Did I go too far?

Mayor Crawford: I'm going to shoot straight with you here, Hank. The optics on this... not so good. White cop playing cowboy jams up an innocent black man, throws him into County for a crime he did not commit, and, I mean someone's going to pay the tab on this. I mean, my money's on Halstead.
Voight: Really? That's funny cause my money's on you.

Armed robbery, kidnapping, and murder. That's a felony trifecta.

But this Ruzek guy showed me no respect. Thinks he's a big shot cause he works upstairs. We're both blue. Why's he get a pass?

Werner

Well, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

Ruzek: You and your ex-husband built a panic room. Some of this must make sense.
Seldon's wife: For when an outbreak happened, not for when he caused one. My ex-husband is not crazy, he's not a monster, he dedicated his whole life to infectious disease, and it's not paranoia. It's fear, it's educated and grounded fear. And look, all you have to do is turn on the news to see that there are a thousand ways the world could end. I mean, there's climate change, and there's famine, and there's the war, and then there's lack of water, and there's disease. And the right outbreak at the right time with the right factors, it could end this race within months and that's not paranoia. That is a truth that people can't handle looking at. And he had to look at it every single day.

We are not going to be led on a wild goose chase, we are not going to be led into a panic, look, he's buying time. We gotta get ahead of him now.

Voight

Fear is a funny thing. Some of the time, it brings out the worst in people. But fear also brings out our very best. We certainly saw that today. Their love, loyalty, care, and kindness, their support, generosity, and appreciation. And for a certain few among us, fear brings out something different, their choice to be heroic. To stand steady, to hold onto each other, to find a way to hold onto hope, and to lean on each other like family.

Goodwin

Seldon: I don't need help. I'm not a bad person. I just need to show them. I need for them to see so that the whole world could see.
Halstead: See what?
Seldon: See that this is how the world is going to end. Thousands of strains of bacteria that we don't know how to combat. This bacteria kills people so fast they barely have time to know that they're dying.

Chicago PD Quotes

But I wanted it. Wanted to be something different than what I was, knew I could. See, I don't people have to end up anywhere near where they started.

Burgess

Yo, Al, don't you got some sort of beef with Father McSorley?
