Dad: Can you believe they made my son a sheriff? [laughs] Boy, I always knew he had it. Hey, could you do me a favor and tell him I said hi? Ask him to stop being so cocky around me. I don't know why he does that. Will you remember that?
Bill: I'll do that, sir.

Stay strong. They built this place to break you.

Joseph

Joseph: Every part of me is telling me that Matthew is innocent. All I'm asking you to do it look into it.
Bill: I can't do that on gut instinct alone.
Joseph: Really? Because that is the one thing that you taught me to trust.

Bill: Your honor. If I may approach.
Judge: You may not!
Bill: Well, the bailiff won't stop me. He works for me.

Bill: Honey, you're missin' somethin'. If you leave, is the hospital better off?
Paula: Probably not.
Bill: You're damn right it isn't.
Paula: That's pretty sage advice, Sheriff Hollister.
Bill: We've all got bosses we got to deal with.
Paula: You don't!
Bill: Now, you know that's not true.

This badge means I protect you, you, and you. If you think that makes me any less of a black man, then you're the one who's confused.

Joseph

Justice isn't just a word. It's consistent action on both sides of the law.

Bill

Jerry: I got your message. Thanks for the update.
Charlie: You were right. Sheriff Hollister definitely plays by his own rules. Saw that today. Good luck cleanin' up that LAPD mess.
Jerry: I'm tellin' ya, things need to change around here. But first, I owe you an apology. I never said anything to you about Deputy Luna. I should have, and I'm sorry.
Charlie: I appreciate that, sir.
Jerry: You and I are more alike than you realize.
Charlie: Yeah? How so?
Jerry: This job has taken away the ones we love. Now we have two choices, lay down or fight like hell for what belongs to us. It's time to focus on the future. I want those stars. I'm running for sheriff.
Charlie: Hm. You uphold your end of the deal, you got my vote.
Jerry: You want your vote to really count? Keep takin' on Hollister.

Matthew: So you're feelin' like Kobe in his prime, huh?
Joseph: I am Kobe in his prime.
