Quotes 

• Ed Lane : Gentlemen.

  Sam Braddock : Look who drops in.

  Ed Lane : How are you?

  [Ed shakes Sam's hand] 

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : Didn't bring Isabelle?

  [Wordy and Ed shake hands]

  Mike Scarlatti : Get her in here sooner we're staging a raid.

  Ed Lane : How are ya

  [Spike and Ed hug] 

  Mike Scarlatti : Oh, sorry don't want to pop a stitch.

  Ed Lane : It's good all the stitches are gone. I'm good.

  Gregory Parker : Well you're a sight for sore eyes.

  Ed Lane : Still in one piece without me?

  Gregory Parker : We get by.

• Bill Greeley : See that? They hate me. Some kind of a monster.

  Jules Callaghan : Officer, you said you were just doing your job. Now, how about you let us do ours?

  Bill Greeley : Hey! I've had a gag order on me for a year. I'm a free man today. I get to talk.

  Ed Lane : [shoves Greeley against wall]  You want to wear the uniform, Greeley? You start acting like a member of the force because what you do here, we all have to wear.

• Ed Lane : Bill Greeley was my responsibility. I lost him, Greg.

  Gregory Parker : So what? You're human.

  Ed Lane : I got to make good on this call, Greg.

  Gregory Parker : Why is that?

  Ed Lane : Because it's my last.

• Ed Lane : [Jean Paul has gun pointed at Greeley]  Jean Paul, it's not difficult to shoot the uniform. Now, are you sure you're ready to shoot the man?

• Bill Greeley : I went my entire career without using my gun. 20 years. Turned the corner and there he was. I smelled gunpowder but didn't hear a shot. I thought he'd shot me, but it was me that shot him. I pulled the trigger. And I killed him. I didn't know. Your son... thought he was in trouble because he stole a flower. And I shot him... in the dark... because I was scared.

  Ed Lane : You were scared. I get that, Bill. You were scared. And that fear turns to anger and you threw that at your job and at your wife and at yourself because it is easier than facing the guilt. It is easier than facing your feelings. I get it.

• Bill Greeley : I can't do this anymore.

  Ed Lane : We are catching people in the worst moments of their lives, Bill. The very worst moment. Now, what do they got if they don't have us?

• Gregory Parker : If it comes down to his life or hers, we're gonna have to shoot your friend. Unless you... help us get through to her.

  Ed Lane : Happens fast. That's a single shot to Pippi's brainstem.

  Gregory Parker : Officer Lane here is a sniper. He can do it from two kilometers away.

  Ed Lane : I never miss.

• Bill Greeley : You know, man, 20 years ago, I chose this job... for love. For the man on the street, the woman in distress, the frickin' cat up the tree. I was so proud... to be there.

  Ed Lane : And you should be.

  Bill Greeley : And now, I pull over a speeding car, they roll down the window, I don't know what I'm gonna see. A gun, some sick piece of puke with a knife. He's thinking, "Why doesn't the son of a bitch cop just leave me alone?" I can't remember the last time somebody was happy to see me.
