Quotes 

• Christopher Herrmann : Let's go! Hey! Step on it, Doherty.

  Darren Ritter : Yo, why are you in such a good mood, Lieutenant?

  Christopher Herrmann : Ah, well, I'll tell you. You know, we had Chinese food last night, and you know what my fortune cookie said?

  Darren Ritter : No.

  Christopher Herrmann : "Tomorrow is your lucky day." And look at this! We catch a fire before breakfast.

  [Ritter laughs] 

• Tony : [Capp tosses one die at a time while playing a game]  That's illegal.

  Capp : It's the way the Capp family plays.

  Tony : You can't roll just one die at a time. Cruz, tell him.

  [Cruz doesn't answer] 

  Tony : Cruz.

  Joe Cruz : What?

  Tony : Tell Capp he's a moron.

  Capp : Sore loser.

  Emergency dispatch : [alarm blares]  Squad 3, Truck 81, Ambulance 61, Engine 51, structure fire, 644 W. Illinois Street.

  Christopher Herrmann : Pull up your boots, boys. It's time to go battle the beast.

  [everyone puts on their gear, gets in their respective rig, and drives off] 

• Joe Cruz : Chloe just told me that she's pregnant this morning.

  Christopher Herrmann : What? Aw, man! That is great news!

  Joe Cruz : You cannot tell anyone, okay? Chloe specifically told me that no one can find out anything, okay?

  Christopher Herrmann : Okay. Congratulations, Joe. You, my friend, are gonna make a great dad. Kids are the best thing in the whole world, even when they're not.

• Joe Cruz : I always wanted a kid, but when Chloe told me, I just felt panic. So much has changed. The pandemic, politics, the whole country's fighting with each other.

  Christopher Herrmann : Hey, enough, all right? Joe, you listen to me, and you listen to me good. This country is not just what's out there on the news. It starts at home in a family. The country that your child is gonna see, the one that's gonna make them who they are, that is the country of Joe and Chloe Cruz.

• Christopher Herrmann : Joe, you have seen enough of this world to know that sucker punches can come from every which way, but there is more good than bad out there. I promise you that.

• Holly : Oh, here he is.

  Christopher Herrmann : Hey, you Trevor?

  Trevor Kincaid : Yes, sir.

  Christopher Herrmann : Listen, are you guys doing any work upstairs that set off a fire alarm? You know, electrical, welding, plumbing...

  Trevor Kincaid : Nah, I'm still just loading in.

  Christopher Herrmann : Okay, could you take us up to the eighth floor? You know, we'll hump it from there so I can see what we're dealing with.

  Trevor Kincaid : Yeah, yeah.

  Christopher Herrmann : Hey, uh, what's your name?

  Holly : Holly.

  Christopher Herrmann : Hey, Holly.

  [Joe Cruz walks by the elevator] 

  Christopher Herrmann : Hey, Joe, come on. Ride with us. Come on.

  [Cruz looks at the other firefighters going inside the nearby stairwell door] 

  Christopher Herrmann : Hey, you can give Severide a "What took you so long?" Let's go.

  [Cruz enters the elevator] 

  Christopher Herrmann : Hit it.

  [Holly presses the eight floor button. The elevator doors close] 

  Christopher Herrmann : So, hey, did you hear about my fortune cookie? Yeah, last night it said today is my lucky day. And look at this! You know, we're not humping up ten flights of stairs. You know, we get a free elevator ride with...

  [metal shrieking. The lights start flickering] 

  Christopher Herrmann : All right, that was weird.

  Joe Cruz : Yeah, you know what? Maybe we should just...

  [the elevator starts clanging] 

  Holly : What was that?

  [elevator cables snap. The elevator starts free falling for 3 seconds before abruptly stopping, knocking everyone in the elevator off their feet]
