- Gabriela Dawson: Matt.
- Matthew Casey: I need to talk to you. What happened at the club, when that guy put his gun to my head... I've been spinning out, trying to make sense of it. I guess.
- Gabriela Dawson: Matt...
- Matthew Casey: And then in the fire, when the roof went and you were inside... All that matters is that you came out alive. Because here's the thing: being with you, that's what makes sense. May be the only thing that does. I don't ever want to let you out of my life again.
- Gabriela Dawson: I'm pregnant.
- [Casey hugs Dawson in delight]
- Brian Zvonecek: [the street they are traveling on is blocked by multiple cars, preventing them from reaching a house fire] Oh, what the hell?
- Matthew Casey: Hey, hey, move these cars. We've got a house on fire.
- One Angry Resident: Let it burn!
- Kelly Severide: The only reason why Riddle was up in everybody's business all of a sudden is because he thinks he's got a shot at making Fire Commissioner! Everybody knows that!
- Wallace Boden: I don't like it either, but he is not wrong about the turnover rate of Squad 3.
- Kelly Severide: So you agree, I'm the problem.
- Wallace Boden: That is not what I said.
- Kelly Severide: Is that why you brought in your poker buddy, to take over my job?
- Wallace Boden: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Careful. I chose him because I knew he wouldn't hurt the team. In the meantime, I am gonna bat for you as best I can. I have convinced Riddle to reassess your rank further down the road, provided you complete some management training.
- Kelly Severide: "Leadership Hub of Chicago presents: Getting Troubled Managers Back on Track." This is a joke, right, Chief? This is how you go to bat for me?
- Wallace Boden: You have to register for that today.
- Kelly Severide: You know, Chief, I'll take the damn course, I'll take it and I'll get my bugle back, but I don't know that I can stay here and work under Patterson.
- Kelly Severide: Hey, Chief.
- Wallace Boden: Come on in, Kelly.
- Kelly Severide: Chief Riddle, how are you?
- Chief Ray Riddle: Very well, Lieutenant. Thank you.
- Dallas Patterson: Dallas Patterson.
- Kelly Severide: Yeah, I think we met at Boden's wedding. Good to see you. So what's going on?
- Wallace Boden: Chief Riddle's got some news.
- Chief Ray Riddle: The high rate of turnover here at Squad 3 has raised a red flag at headquarters. In just three years, you've gone through Vargas, Mills, Clarke, Hadley, Newhouse, Mills again, and most recently, your friend, for whom you vouched, Scott Rice.
- Kelly Severide: Each one of those men had a different situation. Family issues, injuries...
- Chief Ray Riddle: But they all had one thing in common, Lieutenant: your leadership.
- Kelly Severide: You're really gonna hold me accountable for all those men?
- Chief Ray Riddle: Severide, a decision has been made. We're stripping you of your rank.
- Kelly Severide: What?
- Wallace Boden: I'm really sorry, Kelly. I disagree with this, but... it is happening.
- Chief Ray Riddle: Captain Patterson will be taking over command of Squad 3. Effective immediately.
- Dallas Patterson: But I'd like you to remain with the company. Your reputation as a firefighter is not in question.
- Kelly Severide: No, just my ability to lead.
- Wallace Boden: It's a lot to take on board, Kelly. Why don't you give us a minute?
- Matthew Casey: [about Severide's demotion] Hey. I just heard. You okay?
- Kelly Severide: Yeah, never better.
- Matthew Casey: I don't know what to say.
- Kelly Severide: There's nothing to say. It's nuts.
- Wallace Boden: What is this?
- Danny Borrelli: Yo, Chief Boden. Danny Borrelli. Jimmy's big brother. I'm over at Engine 67. Listen, uh, Jimmy told me about the whole misunderstanding earlier...
- Wallace Boden: Misunderstanding?
- Danny Borrelli: Yeah, we were just hazing him. We didn't think it'd be a big deal...
- Jimmy Borelli: Look, Chief, the long and short of it is, is that I blew it. I got nobody to blame but myself. I...
- Danny Borrelli: Jimmy, the Chief and I are talking.
- Jimmy Borelli: I just wanted to apologize for disrespecting you like that. I--I am truly sorry. You deserve much better from a new candidate. Come on, Danny, let's give the Chief his office back.
- Danny Borrelli: That's it? That's your big speech?
- [Danny leaves and Chief Boden closes the door in front of Jimmy]
- Wallace Boden: You be here one hour before next shift. Not a minute later. You will not get another chance.
- Jimmy Borelli: I'll be here two hours early and the floors will be mopped. Thank you, Chief.
- Wallace Boden: Good.
- Danny Borrelli: Whoo!
- Matthew Casey: What the hell's going on?
- Danny Borrelli: Got a special delivery for you. Fresh from the CFD stork. Come on, buddy.
- [he and his friend pull his brother Jimmy, who is tied in plastic wrapping and has duct tape over his mouth, out of the car trunk]
- Danny Borrelli: Hoo! Good luck with the new candidate, fellas.
- [he and his friend drive out of Firehouse 51's driveway, narrowly missing an oncoming car]
- Christopher Herrmann: And the Moron of the Year award goes to...
- Jimmy Borelli: [Otis takes off the duct tape wrapped around Jimmy's mouth] Ah! Oh, man. What a show, huh? It's not my idea. Danny, he's a, uh, he's a real piece of work.
- Matthew Casey: Chief... meet our new candidate, Jimmy Borrelli.
- Jimmy Borelli: Oh, Chief. I was just telling them that, you know...
- Wallace Boden: You been drinkin'?
- Jimmy Borelli: No, sir, on my honor, I haven't touched a drop. Danny was pouring beer on me in the back. I-I told him, though, not to.
- Wallace Boden: Go home, Borrelli. And don't come back to 51.
- Jimmy Borelli: Sir...
- Jessica Chilton: I gotcha. I'm Chilli.
- [alarm blares]
- Emergency dispatch: Ambulance 61, female in distress, Racine El Station.
- Sylvie Brett: Bummer.
- [as Brett and Chilli leave, Mouch takes out his knife and cuts off the plastic wrapping around Jimmy]
- Kelly Severide: Hey, you know, Chief would understand if you decide to sit this shift out. I think everyone would.
- Matthew Casey: New candidate starts today. I gotta be there. Anyway, I'm good.
- Kelly Severide: Heard you pacing around last night.
- Matthew Casey: This thing isn't over till they find Katya's notebook. I'll relax then.
- Kelly Severide: All right. Hey, anything you need, let me know.
