Pilot [1.01]

Samaritan [1.02]

Sgt. Renzulli: Hey, college boy, tell your brother the first rule of riding in my car.

Danny: Jamie, tell your boss I know Brooklyn better than a Manhattan cop.

Jamie: This is me keeping my mouth shut.

Erin: If anyone's going to punch my ex out it's going to be me.

Frank: I wouldn't mind being there to see that.

Privilege [1.03]

Officer Down [1.04]

Frank: I think you're stuck with the role of bad cop.

Erin: Which is ironic since I'm the only one in the family who isn't.

After Hours [1.10]

Det. Curatola: You enjoying yourself, Reagan?

Danny: How could I not be? Come on. We just took a statement from a six-four transsexual escort who thinks her Labradoodle was dognapped by her shrink. How can I not be having fun right now?

Danny: This is the New York that I love. The one you never see on a postcard.

Det. Curatola: Now there's an untapped market: tranny hooker postcards.

Little Fish [1.11]

Det. Curatola: Well, listen, here's what we're gonna do; We're gonna figure out who did this, and we're gonna string him up by his family jewels. It's not gonna bring her back, but it's gonna make you feel better.

Frank: Nothing undermines our way of life more than the taking of it.

Henry: It's the losses that keep you up at night.

Family Ties [1.12]

Frank: (speaking to Danny and Jackie about the car bomb and its ties to the Russian mob) I want Grushenko for this. They say his people have a code of silence. What they really have is a code of betrayal. That's how we got the brigades the first time and that's how we'll finish them now.

Chief Winston: Yes, sir.

Frank: No one's turning my city into Baghdad.

Age of Innocence [1.16]

Jackie: So if you're single and unhappy at work you're a suspect for murder.

To Tell the Truth [1.18]

Frank: Family is what makes us strong.

All That Glitters [1.20]

Jackie: Do you Reagans ever take a day off?

Danny: Not if we can help it.

The Blue Templar [1.22]

Frank: Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. :Henry: Raymond Chandler?

Critical Condition [2.03]

Danny: Never date a girl with a gun.

Thanksgiving [2.08]

Jacob: I am innocent.

Erin: I am an assistant district attorney for the city of New York. Do you know how many times a day I hear those three words.

Leap of Faith [2.12]

Frank: My mother was a saint. My wife was a saint especially by the time she was chasing four kids under ten around the house.

Frank: The only thing harder than being a cop is being married to one.

Parenthood [2.13]

Jackie: You guys get together every week to eat and fight. You sure you're not Italian?

Danny: Nope Irish. We just drink a little more.

The Life We Chose [2.14]

Frank: Courage is not the absence of fear it is the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

Front Page News [3.11]

Frank: There's no mistake you can make that I already haven't been there, done that.

Jamie: I'm responsible for her husband's death.

Frank: You're also responsible for the lives he didn't take.

No Regrets [3.18]

Jamie: It's not like you don't have any experience with crazy people

Erin: You grew up in a house full of them.

This Way Out [3.22]

Frank: Can I just say that I have often wondered what kind of fantastic woman has dinner with her in-laws every single Sunday without complaint.

Danny: We're going to do what my mother used to tell us kids to do on a rainy day. We're going to go make our own fun.

[Frank delivers a press conference on the NYPD sweep of the Bitterman Projects]

Frank: At 0600 hours this morning a joint task force consisting of the Detective Bureau, the Narcotics Division....[police cars screech to a halt on the street. Hundreds of uniformed and ESU officers rush into the Bitterman Projects in formation] ....ESU, the Warrant Squad, the Gang Division and patrol - armed with warrants for arrests on charges including conspiracy to murder in the cases of Police Officer Vincent Cruz and Mayor Carter Poole, narcotics possession with intent to distribute, enterprise corruption....[A gangbanger is shown running down a stairwell, only to run into an ESU team coming up the stairs]....racketeering and a number of other serious charges-- conducted a sweep of the Bitterman Housing Projects....[An ESU team led by Danny and Baez raids Santana's unit, handcuffing Santana and one of his mistresses]... arresting 47 members and associates of the Los Lordes criminal organization, including their head. [Police officers escort several groups of Los Lordes members out of the buildings, shackled to each other] These arrests were made with information given by the residents of the Bitterman Projects, at their own risk, with no promise of reward, other than full NYPD cooperation in restoring law and order to their community. [Jamie and Sgt. Renzulli shake hands with Hector Santiago's father] I would like to note that this operation was carried out with the full input, and by design of, Mayor Carter Poole, with the explicit intent of conducting the investigations and arrests in such a manner as to build trust between the NYPD and the Bitterman community-- a trust that has been absent, on both sides, for far too long. [Danny and Baez load Santana into the back of a squad car]

Unwritten Rules [4.01]

Eddie: An eye for an eye.

Jamie: Leaves the whole world blind.

Eddie: Last time I checked Gandhi wasn't a cop.

The City That Never Sleeps [4.02]

Jamie: I'm not saying working midnights is fun but I don't think you can call yourself a New York City cop until you've survived a few.

To Protect And Serve [4.03]

Jamie: (talking about being a Reagan) Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it just puts a target on your back.

Lost And Found [4.05]

Jamie: Even when you do what seems like the right thing it can still turn out wrong.

Drawing Dead [4.07]

Eddy: Don't take this the wrong way, you drive just like my grandmother.

Jamie: Well you drive like my brother when he was 14.

Justice Served [4.08]

Eddie: Chicks like dating firefighters. Do you ever see a beefcake calendar with NYPD? You don't.

Jamie: Maybe I'll start one.

Bad Blood [4.09]

Maria Baez: He's my brother and I'm the only one who gets to kill him.

Mistaken Identity [4.10]

Danny Reagan: (coming up to a group of skinheads and flashing his badge) Kevin Conklin?

Kevin Conklin: (sarcastically) Wow- you're good.

Danny Reagan: (nodding to Conklin's friends) You two- why don't you go take a walk? (they glance at Conklin) Come on, beat it. (they leave)

Maria Baez: Get up- get your hands out of your pockets. (Conklin does so, smirking) Someone tried to blow up the mosque down on 10th- you know anything about that?

Kevin Conklin: I know it's a good start. Too many damn Osamas around here. Think they own the place.

Maria Baez: You were spotted in the area a few hours before the explosion.

Kevin Conklin: That rat's nest is on my way to work.

Maria Baez: You've got quite a mouth on you, Kevin.

Kevin Conklin: (smirks) You know, I got a place upstairs that's a real mess. You got your mop and bucket in the car, chiquita? (grins insolently; Maria gives Danny a look)

Maria Baez: (steps forward and quickly frisks Conklin) We have Department guidelines for dealing with verbally abusive subjects. We're supposed to find a way to make a connection.

[Suddenly, she grabs the front of his jacket and knees him in the groin, hard)

Danny Reagan: Well, I'd say you made a Hell of a connection there.

Maria Baez: (cuffing Conklin) Subject tried to put his hands on me.

Danny Reagan:(smirks) I saw the whole thing.

Kevin Conklin: (weakly) That's a damn lie!

Danny Reagan: Don't worry, tough guy- we won't tell the boys that the cleaning lady kicked your ass.

The Bogeyman [4.12]

Jamie: As my father told me, you can't save every puppy in the pound.

Open secrets [4.15]

Jamie: Some times people don't appreciate the way you try to keep them safe.

Henry: Until something goes wrong.

Secret Arrengements [4.19]

Jamie: You work together long enough either you hate each other…

Eddie: Or we make out on the side walk?

Eddie: He's only ever seen me in my uniform. I look like a 12 year old boy dressing up for Halloween.

Custody Battle [4.20]

Danny: Reagan family rule #1: Reagans can talk smack all night long. Outsiders talk smack, there's going to be a fight.

Jamie: When it comes to sticking up for his kids, my old man doesn't take any prisoners.

Above and Beyond [4.21]

Eddie: Ah, another day of crime fighting. We should get capes.

Partners [5.01]

Erin: You have to remember that I was there for your first crush. Theresa Mancini and she was bossy and opinionated and it's kind of your thing.

Loose Lips [5.05]

Baez: He give you anything?

Danny: Yeah, a stubborn attitude.

Baez: A Reagan. I'm shocked

Most Wanted [5.06]

Nicky: Mom, I'm a Reagan. Something good happens that just means something bad is right around the corner.

Occupational Hazards [5.07]

Henry: I'm all for benefit of the doubt, so long as I'm dead certain who benefits from the doubt.

Jamie: What does that mean?

Henry: It means I wanna be sure the person is innocent before I let him or her off the hook.

Jamie: So, you're all for the benefit of the doubt as long as there is no doubt.

Henry: Exactly.

Power of the Press [5.08]

Baez: We work together, we catch hell together.

Baggage [5.11]

Eddie: My kingdom for an empty bench where I can devour my cheeseburger.

Home Sweet Home [5.12]

Jamie: I just want to say how blessed we are to have this food, this house and four generations of Reagans sitting around this table. We should never take that for granted. That's an order.

Frank: Where are you going?

Henry: Out.

Frank: What are you 16?

Eddie: You once told me you can't save every puppy in the pound and now you're the one getting too close.

The Poor Door [5.14]

Eddie: Guy's a real box of rocks.

Jamie: You don't got to pass a test to become a criminal.

Eddie: Oh you need help. Thirty seconds ago you were trying to kill us. Now you need help.

Power Players [5.15]

Eddie: This was a really bad guy, so why do I feel so guilty?

Jamie: Because you're a good guy.

Eddie: I killed a guy before he killed me. I don't want a damn medal.

Occupational Hazards [5.17]

Jamie: So you’re all for the benefit of the doubt as long as there is no doubt.

Baez: He said jump, you said on who?

Bad Company [5.18]

Danny: When we were calling the wheel looking for someone who spoke Serbian you were the only one in the entire department who fit age and physical profile.

Eddie: I hope that means young and hot.

Jamie: (about Eddie) She's the best. She's tough as nails. I trust her with my life.

Through the Looking Glass [5.19]

Erin: Don't give me that, you play like a girl look, because I play like a girl who grew up with three brothers.

Worst Case Scenario [6.01]

Absolute Power [6.02]

Frank: You're threatening to fire me from a job you don't control that you can't know I want.

Jamie: Well, I'm not calling you Your Honor no matter how you get there.

Jamie: Cops out on the street aren't exactly feeling the love from city hall.

Mayor Poole: Who are you trying to protect?

Frank: Nobody in particular, just the standards of this office.

Baez: Why don't people get killed in high end spas or nice handbag stores:

Danny: What fun would that be?

All the News That's Fit to Click [6.03]

Garrett: A three percent raise?

Frank: Hey, we're city employees, what did you expect?

Jamie: We like to keep the peace peacefully as much as we possibly can.

Baez: She said no, huh?

Danny: Of course she said no, it's her favorite word.

With Friends Like These [6.04]

Danny: Can't save everyone.

Jamie: We can try.

Erin: So he punched your ticket to Iowa and now you're going to vouch for him.

Eddie: Touch that horn one more time and I'm gonna feed you the steering wheel.

Backstabbers [6.05]

Nicky: Good things cops do rarely make the news.

Sgt. Delgado: Well, I never forgot the advice of my training officer, Lt. Gormley. Never bitch about a problem without pitching a solution.

Frank: He does have a way with words.

Eddie: Yeah, we're off duty right now. Like Clark Kent before he ducks into the phone booth.

Rush to Judgment [6.06]

Reverend Potter: I've been waiting a long time for this. Frank Reagan coming to me hat in hand.

Frank: I don't wear hats.

Eddie: How did it go?

Jamie: It wasn't the Spanish Inquisition but not for lack of trying.

The Bullitt Mustang [6.07]

Danny: I'll be discreet, I promise. I left my bullhorn and machine gun in the car.

Garrett: You got through that whole conversation without dropping a single curse word. How the hell do you do that?

Frank: I was partially raised by nuns.

Henry: They're still fighting over this ridiculous non-issue, as lawyers do.

Unsung Heroes [6.08]

Nicky: Some of the groups are incredibly tolerant, inclusive of a whole wide range of things but...it's like an approved list and if you're not on it then you've got to watch out.

Baez: Everything okay?

Danny: Nothing is.

Garrett: Most north eastern liberal arts institutions are not known for respect or appreciation for agencies of law enforcement.

Frank: Preaching to the choir is for showboats and sissies.

Hold Outs [6.09]

Jamie: Here, have a seat. You know when we add these four goons to the three my partner and I locked up the other day, it's like damn near arrested half your gang. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, huh?

Rainey: What?

Jamie: Just saying. Not a great week for you as boss, but maybe there's something you can do to fix that.

Rainey: Here we go, hmm? Time for Let's Make a Deal. Guess what? Rainey don't deal.

Jamie: You could save you and your boys a lot of jail time if you come clean about what's really going on.

Rainey: You know what, man? I don't even, like, understand a single thing you saying.

Jamie: Sure you do. You're smarter than you play. Why would you and your crew hit the same block six times in a month?

Rainey: I ain't saying nothing.

Jamie: If someone else is behind this, maybe we could trade up Get you and your crew a year, maybe just probation.

Rainey: You know what, man? You're right. I am smart. Smart enough to know that the most we gonna get is six months, probably three if we wear ties to court. (chuckles)

Jamie: Yeah, you're right, except there's this little known section of the penal law that I discovered when I was at law school. It's called "enterprise corruption.

Rainey: Hmm.

Jamie: I won't bore you with the details, but basically what it says is, since you've repeated the same crime multiple times, minimum for you is five years upstate.

Rainey: Please. (laughing) You ain't go to no law school. You just a cop.

Jamie pulls out his Harvard law school ID Card and places it on the desk

Jamie: (handcuffs rattling) Let's go.

Erin: Thanks for coming down. Please, have a seat.

Louise: You know, uh, I've been thinking about what you said about what hand Granderson used and all. I think I was right the first time. He reached in with his right hand, and he shot Victor with his left.

Erin: Great. That's great. That's very helpful. Can you tell me who Richard Hart is?

Louise: What?

Erin: Who is Richard Hart?

Louise: I don't I don't know anyone by that name.

Erin: That's interesting. Because you make quite a few phone calls to him.

Louise: Okay, I know him, but he's just a friend.

Erin: Yeah. I think he's your boyfriend. And for quite some time, based on those phone records.

Louise: Oh, God. Okay. Yes, he's someone I've been involved with. Look, I'm not proud of it.

Erin: Which is why you never told this office or the police?

Louise: I knew how it would come across. Husband is shot dead and wife is having an affair. I mean, we all know what that would look like.

Erin: Like you had your husband killed so you can start a new life.

Louise: That is not what happened.

Erin: I think it is.

Louise: Okay. I think I need a lawyer.

Erin: Yeah.That's probably a good idea. But the truth is I think it's a little late for that.

Louise: Oh, no.

Erin: Yeah, bad move getting involved with a two-time felon. See, one more felony conviction and Richie goes away for life. Unless he cooperates.

Louise: Richie loves me. He wouldn't say a thing.

Erin: Yeah. He said everything. About how you two carried out the murder of your beloved Victor, as well as killing Robin Dunn, the only eyewitness that could contradict your testimony.

Louise: (gasping) Wait. Wait. This was all Richie's idea. I will tell you anything you need to know.

Erin: Yeah. He thought you might say that. Which is why he was smart enough to record all your phone conversations. You're under arrest.

Flags of Our Fathers [6.10]

Frank: That flag that you consider a prop and a stunt has draped the coffins of Americans who died to give you the right to ignore that sacrifice. You're spitting on their graves.

Frank: Only a fool seeks peace by inciting violence.

Frank: Battle for Peace is an oxymoron.

Garrett: Emphasis on moron.

Back in the Day [6.11]

Jamie: For now, I like the idea of actually preventing something bad from happening instead of mopping up after it.

Danny: You're like the pope of cops.

Jamie: You're infallible.

Garrett: What I do know is if that book gets published, you're handing your enemies a bat to beat you with, with nails sticking out of the business end.

Cursed [6.12]

Danny: Did you forget how to dial a phone, Ronnie?

Ronnie: I didn't know anyone was gonna do anything last night. Last time I saw those guys, Sal was telling us all to get out.

Danny: Right, and you all just went home and watched The Bachelorette, is that it?

The Greater Good [7.01]

Jack: But it sucks.

Frank: That's one way to put it, but not at the dinner table.

Garrett: I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't point out the risk.

Frank: Maybe you should take the afternoon off then.

Henry: Do you usually get just what you're asking for? Do any of us?

Frank: Less and less.

Eddie: Other than your parents, who is the most influential person in your life and why?

Jamie: Joe, because he encouraged me to go for what I really want, instead of what other people wanted for me. I think he recognized that I spend a lot of time trying to make other people happy.

Eddie: Not in this partnership.

Good Cop Bad Cop [7.02]

Erin: You know, it's not okay.

Jamie: What? What's not okay?

Erin: That we're constantly telling people that we can't help them when it's our job to help.

Frank: He smart assed me and then he refused a direct order. That doesn't happen.

Danny: In my experience, you run from cops means guilty.

Terrell: In my experience you don't run from the cops you're an idiot.

The Price of Justice [7.03]

Nicky: So just because he supports the NYPD he can break the law whenever he feels like it?

Frank: No.

Nicky: It certainly sounds like it.

Frank: I appreciate your generosity, you know that.

Sy: Then show me the respect.

Frank: By disrespecting the law?

Mob Rules [7.04]

Frank: You need to start picking your battles.

Jamie: Which is what I'm doing here.

Frank;: You could fill this floor with guys who worked with Sid.

Anthony: But I'm the one who's here.

For the Community [7.05]

Erin: The truth as a hustle.

Danny: Everything is a hustle; the key is to not be the sucker born every minute.

Eddie: Adrianna, my psychic, she told me that my soulmate has long hair, a beard, and a piercing in his left ear.

Jamie: So your soulmate's a pirate.

Whistleblowers [7.06]

Frank: This isn't about smart. Smart's highly overrated sometimes.

Danny: I've been saying that since 4th grade.

Egan: I've got two words for you - child pornography.

Erin: What's that supposed to mean?

Egan: Two words that together run neck and neck with child molester as the charges that bring everybody, and I do mean everybody, together.

Guilt by Association [7.07]

Robert: Have it your way.

Frank: Well, we're really not in any danger of that, are we?

Frank: Holding the door is a courtesy, letting you in here to use my phone, that's a courtesy, but launching another investigation into my department, not so much.

Jamie: I hate jumpers.

Eddie: At least if he jumps it's in the East River.

Jamie: No splat.

Eddie: Yeah.

Personal Business [7.08]

Eddie: I know, I know, we need to stop meeting like this. (she enters, Jaime looks bewildered) So, uh, I think we need to clear the air.

Jaime: Yeah.

Eddie: I've been thinking about what you- you said about me being... jealous of Tara.

Jaime: I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry-

Eddie: Yeah, well- the thing is, it's true.

Jaime:... What are you talking about?

Eddie: I was. Jealous of Tara. Just like I'm jealous every time you go on a date with somebody, every time you tell me how some girl is hot.

Jaime:... Eddie-

Eddie: Could you please not talk? This is, you know, this is really hard, so just let me get it off my chest.

Jaime: Okay.

Eddie: (takes a deep breath)... I have feelings for you. I have for a long time. (pause, Jaime stares at her) There, I said it. I do everything I can to make them go away. Because, I mean, you're not even close to my type, and you are a complete Boy Scout, and you make me crazy most of the time. You're also... the best person I think I've ever met. (starting to tear up) And you're the best friend I've ever had.

Jaime: Look, I-

Eddie: Is that you talking?!

Jaime: Sorry.

Eddie:... I know that you're my partner, and I don't want to do anything to screw that up. I just, I needed... to tell you that you're so much more than that. And if I didn't tell you, it was gonna get really weird.

Jaime: (teasingly) 'Cause this doesn't make things weird at all. (Eddie punches him in the arm, he laughs and raises his hands defensively) I'm kidding, I'm kidding! (pause) Cards on the table? I have feelings for you, too. I think you know that. But, we've been down that road before, and it's a bad idea for... a lot of reasons.

Eddie: I know.

Jaime: It can really cloud your judgement, and... totally screw up a partnership.

Eddie: Yeah- totally. I just, you know- I just wanted to be honest. (Jaime nods) Are we good?

Jaime: Definitely.

[Eddie walks past him, pauses, then turns back and kisses him; Jaime returns the kiss and they embrace for a moment]

Eddie:... Good talk. (swats him teasingly) See you tomorrow.

Not Fade Away [7.12]

Jamie: I'm not in sixth grade and neither are you; but you're putting your life and the life of your partner in danger taking your eye off the ball like that.

Ernie: You always said if there was ever anything you could do for me when I get out…

Danny: That's something I say a lot. That's not actually something I mean when I say it.

Baker: Let's put it this another way, if people want to show affection for you, how do you want to avoid dealing with it?

The Thin Blue Line [7.22]

Garrett: The mayor wants you to handle the announcement solo.

Sid: Poole never missed a victory lap in his life.

Garrett: Until now.

Frank: It's about me taking the weight for six dead bodies.

Sid: But we caught the guy.

Frank: Yeah, but it comes soaked in blood and the mayor wants to keep his shoes clean.

[Carter tells Frank he intends to resign]

Frank :...Is there anything I can say?

Carter: (smiles)... You can give me your word. That you'll be just as hard on my successor, as you were on me.

Frank:... You have my word. (they shake hands) Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

Carter: Thank you, Commissioner.
