A Heavy Weight (2014)

Lauren German: Leslie Shay

Quotes 

• Kelly Severide : Okay, you guys, pony up. I talked to Bloom's old battalion chief in Denver, and I got an idea how to help him out. First step, we fill up this boot.

  [Capp puts $5.00 in the boot] 

  Kelly Severide : $5.00? Really? Okay, do you guys know the warehouse fire that derailed Bloom's career?

  Peter Mills : Yeah, ten guys got killed.

  Kelly Severide : Because of a tough call he had to make.

  Peter Mills : He was the incident commander?

  Kelly Severide : That's right. Fire was in the structure. He had to give an order-- no one else goes in. He made those guys stand there and listen to their brothers dying over the radio. They spit in his face, tried to go around him. He wrestled a few of them to the ground, and that's how he hurt his back. He was trying to protect them, but the way they saw it... he abandoned all those guys inside and got 'em all killed. That is a heavy weight for a man to carry around, don't you think?

  [Capp shows Severide his empty wallet] 

  Kelly Severide : We can stop by the ATM.

  [Capp nods] 

  Leslie Shay : Hey, I know why you're doing this, but this guy's gonna keep letting you down. You know that, right?

  Kelly Severide : Uh-huh.

  Leslie Shay : But your gonna try anyway?

  Kelly Severide : When Jones first arrived at 51, I made it clear that I wasn't someone that she could come to for help. I thought she needed a little tough love.

  Leslie Shay : You can't put that on yourself, Kelly.

  Kelly Severide : I'm not, I-I didn't know where her head was at. But if Bloom goes into a tailspin, I can't claim that I didn't see it coming.

• Brian Zvonecek : Hey, Shay?

  Leslie Shay : Hmm?

  Brian Zvonecek : I got a favor to ask.

  Leslie Shay : [sighs]  No.

  Brian Zvonecek : It has to do with Jones. We need to clear out her locker. But, in the interest of "gender sensitivity", would you mind?

  Leslie Shay : God forbid you guys have to touch a box of tampons.

  Brian Zvonecek : I owe you so much.

  Christopher Herrmann : You're going to hell. You know that?

  Brian Zvonecek : It's worth it.
