I'm a lawman. Never took a dime. Never put my hands on somebody unless I had to. Never pulled the trigger when there was another way. You want to hunt gangsters? Human traffickers? Well, I'm your huckleberry. But you're asking me to drag families from their homes so you can eat from the federal trough. When'd you lose your way, Jerry?

Bill: Whoa, whoa! You're not leaving the house like that.
Maggie: Like what?
Bill: Like a feral Kardashian. Like you just escaped some post-apocalyptic truck stop harem.
Maggie: Stop talkin' to me like I'm a suspect.
Bill: Those aren't Daisy Dukes, Maggie. Those aren't even Miley Cyruses. They lack the requisite surface area. It's a sash with delusions of grandeur.

Bill: Alright. Gimme the keys.
Brianna: You're not driving. It's not a date.

Bill: How do you decide who makes the list?
London: Anyone with sixteen or more uses of categorical force within a three-year period, for one.
Bill: Oh. Well, I think, geez, I must be...
London: Right at the top.

Bill: As his son, you're the only one authorized to wear this.
Joseph: I don't know what to say.
Bill: Neither do I.

You need three things to do this job, a badge, a gun, and what's in your heart. Policy and procedure be damned. At the end of the day, you gotta be able to look yourself in the mirror and ask, 'did I do everything I could have possibly done to protect the innocent?' This department has lost its way. Too many save-asses. And not enough ass-kickers! Show of hands. Who here belongs in the latter category? Welcome to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department!

Cade: I grew up in the system. I know what you have to do to survive. You have to grow claws. You end up using 'em on people trying to help.
Teresa: Those people aren't us.

The kid doesn't have it in him, Bobby. I'm not losing them both. I can't do that.

Bill

Brianna: If you run on me again, I will put a bullet in you.
Bill: You promise?

You know what? Here's a good rule of thumb for dealing with the police. Don't shoot at us, and we'll get along famously.

This isn't about Rachel. This is about Rick dyin' on my table.
