Chicago PD
Wednesdays 10:00 PM on NBCChicago PD Season 8 Quotes
Burgess: Don't we know better than this?
Ruzek: Do we?
Burgess: If not, we might be insane.
Miller: Blaine was far from perfect.
Voight: You're right. But he was a good man. He died trying to protect a scared, vulnerable young mother. And how he did it? I mean, what rules he chose to ignore? Who cares? He was trying to do something good, that's what matters. You know, there was a time we actually forgave people for their mistakes. We understood that human beings are fallible. So you look at the sum of the parts. Does the good outweigh the bad? I mean, Mike Blaine, he gave his life doing something good... brave... noble. And that makes him a hero.
Halstead: Okay, so he made a mistake. Just like every other human being on this planet. So can we rise above this petty anger? Maybe see the bigger picture?
Zach: Why would I want to do that?
Halstead: Cause that's what good people do. They realize that people are flawed. They do stupid things sometimes.
Zach: What he did to me was not just stupid. It was an abuse of power and a violation of my civil rights.
Look, I know who your dad was, and I know what he did. But if something happens, and you don't go see him, then you're gonna carry this for the rest of your life. So don't do it for him, just do it for you.
Halstead
Ruzek: So, I'm guessing...
Voight: Well, you don't get to guess, not on this one.
Burgess: I'm a cop, I love being a cop. I'm good at it. I didn't think I'd have the instincts to be a mom too. And then what happened, happened.
Ruzek: No, you would have been good at both.
Burgess: You're always giving me the benefit of the doubt
Ruzek: No, I'm not. I know you. You would have had instincts for all of it, that's all. It's just how it is.
Burgess: Yeah, maybe it makes me better at both.
Upton: No, why? You think I need it? Are you trying to tell me I should take it?
Halstead: No, I'm saying it's a good job for a good cop.
Upton: You could tell me you don't want me to take it. It's an option.
Halstead: I want you to do whatever you want to do. I'm just practicing self-preservation here.
Burgess: That's the good thing about being scared. Sometimes it's like this reminder that you have to be brave, you have to fight. So I fought.
Makayla: But I ran.
Burgess: That's ok. Running is a kind of fighting.
I will make it my job to come after you and I will destroy you.
Atwater
Atwater: I'm constantly looking over my shoulder. I'm mad every hour, every minute, every second. I'm mad at Nolan, I'm mad at you, I'm mad at Ruzek. I'm mad at every white cop that feels like they can make a deal for me. And every cop that's done this job the wrong way, which means I'm mad at myself. I'm so mad I don't even think I can do the job the right way anymore.
Voight: Then do it different. Do it different. That's the win. You get to do it different.
Voight: Then you're not going to be a cop anymore.
Atwater: Maybe I don't want to be a cop anymore.
I'm going to keep coming for you until I have your badge.
