  Carlos : It's gonna be okay.

  Alex : Tell her it didn't hurt.

• Carlos : You know what I need?

  Alex : Lessons in basic social skills?

• [Kim and Alex just met]

• [Faith and Alex's first meeting, FDNY and NYPD making fun of each other] 

  Faith : Faith Yokas.

  Alex : Alex Taylor.

  Faith : It's amazing, isn't it? It's like they get dumber when they're in packs.

• [Kim is playing with her palm pilot] 

  Kim : That's it, instant access to every city phone number you could possibly need. Ha ha, look at that.

  Alex : Good. You can call somebody who cares.

• Alex : I don't mind being a called a girl. I just don't like when assumptions are made because I am one.

• Alex : What kind of person would let someone die just to prove they were right?

• Davis : Who are you?

  Taylor : From the outfit I'd say I was a firefighter.

  Sully : You're supposed to have a Barco-Lounger attached to your ass. Where is it?

• Alex : [about her Dad]  He used to say, any daughter of mine is too brave to be afraid.

• Sully : You want to come with me?

  Taylor : Sure, I'll keep you company, Santa.

  Sully : Does that make you one of the elves?

• Alex : Oh, please don't tell me I got my ass kicked for a tie!

  Jimmy : Okay, in honor of Alex, let's go for the win.

• Alex : Whose side are you on?

  Carlos : Duh! That would be the one with the funnier jokes!

• Alex : You know Kim loves Joey. Think of how much pain you'd have to be in to do something like this.

  Jimmy : There's not enough pain in the world.

• Doc : Everything working out with Carlos?

  Alex : Guy's a moron.

  Doc : Yeah, well he is definitely an acquired taste.

• Alex : What am I, the spokesperson for N.O.W.? I don't know why your tart du jour is giving you a hassle!

  Jimmy : I'll just swear 'em off all together. No more women.

  Walsh : You ain't sleeping close to me then.

  Jimmy : Don't worry, you're not my type, I like 'em a little taller. Like DK here, now he's fine.

  DK : I'm no one's tart du jour, baby.

• Taylor : How long you think he can go?

  Bobby : I don't know, he's a big guy.

  Taylor : Sooner or later they all fall.

  Davis : I can hear you. What, you think I drank so enough I'm blind?

• Darren : You need some help?

  Bobby : No!

  Taylor : Speak for yourself. I'm the one holding up the sheriff here.

  Davis : I'm not a sheriff.

• Carlos : Why did you want to become a fire... um... person?

  Taylor : Uh, my dad made me do it?

  [Carlos laughs] 

  Taylor : [holding up a knife]  That's funny?

  Carlos : Not if it's not supposed to be.

• Taylor : You guys work out what we're gonna wear tomorrow and when I get back we'll plan some strategy.

• Taylor : Labels are so misleading. It's like how they call Rocky Road "Rocky Road" when really it's just some almonds and a couple chunks of chocolate in it.

  Carlos : There's marshmallows too.

  Taylor : Exactly.

• Jimmy : Can you rush the quarterback?

  Taylor : Yeah, no problem.

  DK : You do know what that means?

  Taylor : You want me to knock you on your ass right now and show you?

• Taylor : All the other girls had Barbies, I had a fire truck.

• Carlos : We got man things to discuss.

  Taylor : "Man things"? Don't make me kick your ass, Carlos.

• Taylor : Does she have a name?

  Carlos : Bird.

  Davis : Bird?

  Taylor : I can tell you two have really bonded.

  Carlos : Yeah. I'm not hung up on names.

• Taylor : [about Carlos]  He thinks you're gay you know.

  Davis : He does, doesn't he? Well, I'm pretty sure he thinks you are too.

  Taylor : Fine by me. Anything to discourage him.

• Carlos : I never lost consciousness! Come on!

  Taylor : You called Jimmy "Charlene" and said you didn't want to go to school today.

  Doctor : What happened?

  Kim : 20 foot fall. He's got a lump, a scalp lac, and a big mouth.

• Doc : [about Carlos]  Either of you know what the hell he was doing on that pole?

  Taylor : No, but I wish I had some photos.

  Kim : Walsh said he heard him screaming for someone to call 9-1-1.

  Taylor : You're kidding.

  Doc : It's not funny, guys.

  Taylor : Oh come on, Doc, it is too funny.

  Kim : [imitating Carlos]  "Call 9-1-1!"

• Taylor : Look at her, she's so beautiful.

  Davis : Yeah, she's real cute.

  Taylor : Who would have thought - -the spawn of Carlos.

• Kim : [about the Palm Pilot]  This thing is gonna change my life. No wonder I can't ever find anybody. I got listings under last names, first names. I got you under 'P' for Paramedic.

  Taylor : Why not 'D' for delightful?

• Carlos : Big fire.

  Taylor : I should be in there fighting it.

  Carlos : Anything I can do to make that dream a reality, don't hesitate to ask.

  Taylor : Just keep being you.

• Kim : [about working together]  Seemed kind of smooth, didn't it? Kind of right.

  Taylor : Yeah, kind of right.

  Kim : Yeah. Except for the lifting of that big guy part.

  Taylor : Oh, lifting definitely sucked.

• Taylor : Well, looks like I got the rest of the day off.

  Kim : Well, that's the first time I considered you lucky for working with Carlos.

• Woman : You're a paramedic and a fireman?

  Taylor : Yeah. It gets confusing sometimes.

  Woman : That's amazing. I can't even balance a checkbook.

  Taylor : Yeah? Neither can I.

• [after being hit by a car] 

  Taylor : I'm glad you weren't there or you could've gotten hit too.

  Kim : Eh. I would have looked both ways.

• [looking for fingers in the snow] 

  Kim : Hey, I got one!

  Man : She gonna find them all?

  Taylor : She won't stop looking till she does.

• Lt. Johnson : Attention ladies!

  Taylor : Easy boss, these are no ladies.

  Lt. Johnson : My apologies to you actual ladies.

• [about subing as a medic] 

  Taylor : Why is it always me?

  Walsh : 'Cause you're the one with the delicate touch little lady.

• Taylor : It's always the same. Guys don't like having women in the department so they find excuses to put us in these girlie-ass jobs.

  Doc : Girlie? Do I look girlie to you?

• Taylor : I don't really like riding on the ambulance anymore.

  Old Man : If you don't mind, we're glad you are.

  Taylor : Don't tell anyone, but right now I am too.
