Just so you know, Jessica tells me everything. Sometimes I wish she wouldn't, but thanks for looking out for her when I'm not around.
Jeff
Yoli: You're Jeff! Yoli. I'm the one you spoke to on the phone.
Jeff: Oh it's nice to meet you.
Yoli: It's nice to meet you. You're just like I imagined. Very Morris Chestnut.
Jeff: Thanks, I think.
Bobby: Why aren't you dating him?
Keri: Because something is wrong with me, and I said I was in a relationship.
Bobby: We are in a relationship. I need you, Keri.
Jessica: They're family. I should have done more to help them.
Jeff: They've been your family for like 15 minutes.
Jessica: What's that supposed to mean?
Jeff: It means they're strangers. You don't know them. They don't know you, and you're trying to make up for something your father did, and that's not your responsibility. You want family. Your family is sitting right here in front of you, and you can't see it.
Jessica: I know you're my family.
Jeff: Do you?
Jessica: If you're my family, then they are your family too, and if you can't accept that then we have a bigger problem then whether I can get to Miami or not.
You have to admire a politician who admits to being a puppet.
Tom
Jessica: Who's Tommy Diehl?
Bobby: Ancient history.
Jessica: It didn't feel like ancient history to that man back there.
If you're willing to pin murder on McGann, then you really must be done with him.
Jessica
Pat: Barack, give me and your boss a minute
Bobby: That's not alright!
Bobby: I told you, if you can't pull your weight, I'd go elsewhere.
Pat: Pull my weight? I own you.
Bobby: You don't own shit!
Pat: What did you say to me?
Bobby: You don't own your buildings. You don't own the land they're on. But most importantly, you don't own me.
Pat: You're forgetting a little something.
Bobby: I'm sick and tired of you holding that over my head. You want to drop that bomb and blow yourself up, then be my guest. But for now, get the fuck outta my office, I got a city to run.
Yoli: You know what this is, right?
Derrick: Millennials on parade.
Yoli: I just find it so ironic that they're sending us out to whitewash the city.
Jessica: My husband had ALS.
Nick: I'm sorry?
Jessica: It's why I told Bobby I understood what he was going through. It tore me apart seeing someone I loved, no matter how complicated it was, suffering. And though I was in control of everything all day, I was powerless to stop it. I had to stand by and watch, and I'm not very good at that.
Nick: Why didn't you tell Bobby?
Jessica: Because the story ends with a man dying, and I don't think he's ready to hear that right now.
Nick: He might appreciate a little empathy.
Jessica: But I don't really know what it feels like. My ex-husband was diagnosed after we were divorced. I don't know how I would have handled it if it had happened during our marriage. I'd like to think I'm a better person now but--
Nick: I think you're a better person than you think you are.
Jessica: I don't know why I'm telling you this.
Nick: Maybe it's because I'm here.
Yoli: I know I can be a lot sometimes, but I'm not stupid. I can learn how to do this job, but you can't teach passion. Please, just give me another chance.
Jessica: One shot.
