Let me tell you something, son. You're gonna piss folks off no matter what. That's just life. It might as well be for something worth a damn. They see the good that you do. Trust me.

Dad

Riley: There's no more space for men like you. No untamed land. Not in this city. Not even in this county. And certainly not in this election.
Bill: I guess you've never been to Lancaster.
Riley: The world has moved on. People don't want a gunslinger in this office. They want an advocate. A winner. And you know what? They deserve one. It is MY time.

It was your choice to call the Times, Bill. Live with it.

Riley

Joseph

Joseph: Then why did you offer Johnson a deal?
Riley: Because he offered me something much more valuable.
Joseph: The white boat?
Riley: Names. Links to other cases that I've had sitting on my desk. I promise you, when this is all over, L.A. County will be a much safer place.

With all due respect, what you see as a personal motivation was, in actuality, a sheriff believing in one of his deputies and having the courage to fight for justice regardless of political backlash. That's why this is HIS department, and that is NOT going to change.

Joseph

I don't normally say things like this, and I'm not trying to get all up on my feelings, but I'm proud of you, boot. You did good today. You're making a lot of progress.

Charlie

Paula: Bill Hollister, you are running for sheriff because you are the best man for the job. Since you've taken over, this city is safer; morale is higher. You're gonna run, and you're gonna win, and your family is going to be right beside you.
Bill: I wouldn't have it any other way.
Paula: Let's do this.
