Kara Killmer: Sylvie Brett

Quotes 

• Sylvie Brett : Can I talk to you?

  Capp : I'll take a break.

  Sylvie Brett : That sucks. What do you mean, don't get involved? It's not like they stop being people when the call ends.

  Kelly Severide : Shay got overly invested with someone she met on a call. Guy ends up blowing his brains out. You never know what's really going on.

  Sylvie Brett : Well... I just treated a meth head with a tuning fork stuck in his eye, and even that guy stepped up and called 911 to save his buddy. You quit giving somebody a second chance, they stop having one. I need your help on this.

• Sylvie Brett : You mind if we come in?

  Katherine Keating : Sure.

  Sylvie Brett : Just want to ask you a few questions.

  Katherine Keating : About what?

  Sylvie Brett : What was Archie doing on the balcony alone?

  Katherine Keating : He was spying on the apartment below ours.

  Kelly Severide : Why didn't you just say that?

  Katherine Keating : You have kids?

  Kelly Severide : Mm-mm.

  Katherine Keating : My mom used to take my brother and me to the bar with her. O'Henry's. When she'd get liquored up, she'd shame us in front of whoever was there. I swore I would never let that happen to my kid, not ever.

  Sylvie Brett : You've been sober for a while, right?

  Katherine Keating : Two years, three months.

  Sylvie Brett : Do you have a chip, by any chance? And your sponsor, when was the last time you spoke to him?

  Katherine Keating : It's a woman.

  [shows Brett her phone] 

  Katherine Keating : 15 minutes ago.

  Kelly Severide : You mentioned a restarting order against your ex.

  Katherine Keating : Yeah.

  Kelly Severide : You got a copy? You mind if I take a look in your fridge?

  Katherine Keating : Go on.

  [she opens her fridge] 

  Katherine Keating : They're organic. I feed Archie right, which isn't easy to do on 11 bucks an hour at a nail salon. You have any other questions?

  Sylvie Brett : Thank you. We just needed to know who we were going to bat for.

• Cal McGuinn : Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. We both work for the city, so can I toss you a bone? Because this is personal for you.

  Sylvie Brett : Personal for me? No, no, no, this is personal for a little boy and his mom who've been put through hell because the system, meaning you, is too jammed up to give a damn about them. You have the power to make a difference, and you are going to *make* that difference by taking their folder off the bottom of your pile and putting it on top. And I'm not leaving until you do.

  [he glares at her] 

  Sylvie Brett : Yeah.

  [sits down, takes out protein bar] 

  Sylvie Brett : This will last me at least... five hours.

  [Brett starts eating the protein bar. McGuinn takes out the Keating file]
