• Peter Mills : [Demonstrating fire equipment to kids]  See, this house is special because it has a Rescue Squad, Squad 3 serves a big piece of this city.

  [Severide grins at the kids] 

  Peter Mills : They're excellent in water rescue, extraction, pretty much everything. They're like the best of the best.

  Little girl : Why aren't you with them?

  Peter Mills : Well, I mean - I plan to be. My father was a member of the squad years ago

  Matthew Casey : Mills, right? Last to show, first to go. That's the Rescue Squad.

  Kelly Severide : Your truck guys do such a good job getting everything ready for us, why would we want to take that away from you?

  Matthew Casey : [laughs]  Kids, you should know they make the Rescue helmets extra big to fit their heads inside.

  Kelly Severide : There are two types of fire fighters, those who are on Squad and those who wish they were on Squad.

  [Points to Casey] 

  Matthew Casey : Oooh.

  Peter Mills : [Bewildered by the animosity]  Come on kids

  [Leads them away] 

  Kelly Severide : [Points to Mills]  Bet I get an application from him by the end of the month.

  Matthew Casey : [Shrugs]  He wants you, you can have him.

• Peter Mills : I was talking to Lieutenant Casey about the Rescue Squad, and he said 'Don't be a crow'. Do you know what he meant?

  Chief Wallace Boden : Oh he did, did he? Crow wanted to be a peacock, so he put on all these colored feathers, went over to the peacocks, but the peacocks plucked them all away. Crow tried to get back in with the other crows... they wanted nothing to do with him.

  Peter Mills : My mom used to tell me to keep my mouth shut and just watch. I'm glad I have you to watch.
