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
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.
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.

Foster care is bad when you're in it, but it's worse when you age out. Cause all of a sudden you're out in the world and you ain't got nowhere to go. And these predators come in all shapes and sizes and they find you.
Rojas
Rojas: He don't look too happy.
Atwater: That's just how he looks.
Rojas: Am I in the right place?
Platt: Only time will tell.
Darius Walker: You just don't get it, do you?
Atwater: What don't I get? Hmm?
Darius Walker: Whether I'm here or not, users and still gunna use. Only difference is they're going to be buying the product from some 19-year-old punk with too much to prove. Some badass half a gang banger willing to shoot up a city block over a Twitter dispute or a spat with some fatass girl in tight jeans. But the biggest difference between me and the person who is about to replace me is that I reinvest my profits in the community. In the people.
Atwater: You a Robin Hood for black folk, huh?
Darius Walker: No, no, Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Hypothetically speaking, I take from the weak and give to the strong so they can get even stronger. LEt's be honest, brother, some folks out there ain't got no chance. They're weak, uninspired, all they think about is getting high, so I sell them what they want... heroine. With that money, I invest in brothers and sisters who got game, who got smarts, who are willing to put in the time and the effort to make something of themselves. Legally. Like it or not, that's the only way black folks are going to get out of these streets. It ain't pretty, it ain't fashionable to say out loud, but it's the truth. And I know none of y'all in blue want to believe this, but Darius Walker is good for Chicago.
Ruzek: Lawyer says it's 50/50.
Voight: Yeah, well, your lawyer doesn't have to do the time if he's wrong.
Ruzek: Well, yeah, but what happens when I'm out? My career's over, I gotta find a new job. All I've ever known is being the police, Sarge. It's who I am. It's all I got.
Voight: Then we fight it.
Upton: We have a warrant to search the premises.
Owner: Search for what?
Upton: Weapons of mass destruction.
Owner: What?
Upton: Just kidding. Drugs and guns. We're gonna go in.
Halstead: What do you think?
Upton: I think we keep digging like we said. If he did it, he wouldn't have us out there risking our lives. Voight's a lot of things but selfish isn't one fo them.
