2.  Hailey Upton:  "But I'm still me."

3.  Hank Voight:  I can't have you in my unit if you don't trust me."  Jay Halstead:  "Then kick me off it. But why don't you go and tell the unit and the brass why."

4.  Jay Halstead:  "I want to start my marriage with the woman that I love out of prison."

5.  Hailey Upton:  "Can you come home to me now, please?"  Jay Halstead:  "That's all I want. Look, we're gonna be okay. I love you."  Hailey Upton:  "I love you, too."

6.  Agent North:  "So here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna give you a choice. Option one, I arrest you and Hailey. I promise you, I will make the case. Or option two, you help me take down the man I really want...Hank Voight."




The Equalizer -  (Dahne)

1.  Delilah, to the entitled, racist real estate woman as she posted a video clip to the internet:  “I just made you famous.”

2.  Harry:  “Yikes!  Not to be sexist but the women sure dig the true crime, don’t they?”  Mel:  “Well, focusing on the bad guys shows us what red flags to look out for.  You know, obsessiveness, run-ins with the law, men with lairs.”  ~She pointedly looks around Harry’s underground lair.

3.  Mel:  “But why the videos?”  Robyn:  “Because as much as these armchair detectives want to take him down, they’re giving him an audience, which is exactly what he wants.”  Harry:  “I mean true crime has become an industry.  They’re turning serial killers into celebrities and now every Tom, Dick, and Murderer wants their own Netflix show.”




Ghosts - (Dahne)

1.  Samantha:  “Well, without storming off or yelling, and in all sincerity, I’m sorry you had a lame Halloween.”  Jay:  “Yeah, that’s the thing.  I didn’t.”  Samantha:  “What do you mean?”  Jay:  “Um, our gazebo got burned down by ghosts on Halloween in front of our haunted house.  We, by far, had the coolest Halloween of all our friends.”

2.  Pete:  “Man, I can’t believe kids are capable of this sort of thing.”  Trevor:  “Didn’t kids murder you?”  Pete:  “Well, that was an accident.  I’m pretty sure.”

3.  Hetty:  “Trevor, back us up.”  Trevor:  “I stand with Pete.”  Isaac:  “Wait, what?  But Pete’s on the side of good...I mean the other side.”  Trevor:  “We spend our days complaining about how Halloween makes us out to be evil and movies paint us to be the villains, but if we let some kids take the fall for something that we did then aren’t we exactly what they say we are and don’t we deserve to be busted.”  Alberta:  “Oh, amen.”  Isaac:  “Really?  He’s the one who’s doing the right thing?”  Hetty:  “I really do feel bad now.”  (Trevor starts clapping for himself.)  Pete:  “Are you slow clapping your own speech?”  Trevor:  “Damn right I am.  They haven’t seen an 80’s movie and you didn’t start it so I have to.”




Hightown - (Folie-lex)

1.  Jackie: "Those a**holes got Junior killed. It's their sh** that he OD'd on."  Donna: "When are you gonna f** get it, huh? It wasn't Osito. It wasn't Kizzle. It wasn't anybody else that killed Junior. Junior killed Junior."

That's pathetic."  Frankie: "Answer the f*** question!"  Renee: "No, I don't love him!"  Frankie: "Then prove it to me."  Renee: "How? How, Frankie? How do I prove it to you? Because I've done everything that you wanted me to do, okay. I wrecked his f** life for you. What else is left? You want me to kill him? Fine, get the f** gun and I'll do it, but I can't take any more of this sh**!"

3.  Ray: "Hey, hey hey! I know you're pissed. I know. I get it. You got every right. But I'm dying here, man. Alright, Alan? I'm not cut out for this normal life. It's f** killing me. The only thing I know how to do is be a cop. So can you, uh, just help me out a little bit here? Just give me something, give me a lead, give me anything."  Alan: "First of all, you are an a**hole."  Ray: "Yeah. Yeah, okay, you know what? You're right, I am an a**hole. But I'm good at what I do."

4.  Jackie: "I need a favour."  Ron: "No, you mean another favour. 'Cause the last time I checked you never got me that drink after I gave you access to the boat log."  Jackie: "Listen, I'll buy you two drinks if you hook a sister up one more time. And trust me it's fun. Cop-related."  Ron: "Don't you got, like, fancy friends at your fancy new job?"Jackie: "I need you to buy a blow job from a stripper."  Ron: "Sh**, why didn't you just say that?"

His decision is...it's crazy."  Magnum: "Well, maybe it was not a decision at all."  Higgins: "What do you mean?"  Magnum: "I mean love isn't something you talk yourself into or...out of.

6.  Eve: "These rogue operatives made off with our most sensitive files, including yours. If the things you've done got out, the target on your back would be so big, there'd be nowhere on Earth you could hide. So if you won't do it for queen and country, do it for yourself."

Dean: "Oh."

2.  Christina:  “So you wouldn’t let us go to sleepaway camp because Bob came back a Democrat.”  Dottie:  “And a witch.  Listen, honey, a mother’s job is to control her children’s thoughts for as long as she can.”  Christina:  “I don’t think that’s their job.”  Dottie:  “It’s called love.”  Christina:  “It’s called co-dependence.”  Dottie:  “That’s right, sweetie.  You can always co-depend on me.”  Christina:  “Well, I have 6 therapists and a psychic who would agree with you."
