Officer Bishop: Those look like bullet holes.
Pilot: What? No, those are bird strikes.
Officer Bishop: Oh, let me guess, the elusive brass jacket hollow point.
Officer Bradford: This is one rule I’m all for. Cemeteries are filled with women who’d still be alive if cops had been forced to hook up their spouses the second he or she laid hands.

Officer Bradford: You seem surprised.
Officer Chen: Sir, you surprise me every day.

Officer Lopez
Officer Nolan: I thought officers were supposed to avoid making assumptions.

Officer Bishop: There’s hope for you yet, Officer Nolan.
Officer Chen: You haven’t received a single freebie since I’ve been with you so why didn’t you defend that to Grey.
Officer Bradford: Because hard rules like that are stupid. What we do doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Circumstance dictates action, not the other way around.

Isabel: Things are so black and white with you. It’s so…
Tim: Comforting?
Isabel: Maddening.
Valentine’s Day is a manufactured holiday that does nothing but make those alone feel lonelier and those who are in relationships feel disappointed because life isn’t a fairy tale.
Bishop
[to Jackon] We’re not friends, we’re friendly. You do understand the difference
