Quotes 

• Gregory Parker : Teenagers and mornings - not a good fit.

  Ed Lane : Yeah, well, teenagers and anything - not a good fit.

• Detective Danny Price : [first responder enters command post and talks to SRU officers]  Hey, there's a kid up there with a gun. We got to get up there as soon as possible. Every second counts!

  Gregory Parker : Which is why we're slowing down movement until we get further intelligence. See, right now, the subject is inactive.

  Detective Danny Price : And by "the subject" you mean the gunman.

  Gregory Parker : [turns away and talks to Scarlatti]  Zero fatalities, two injuries. Sounds like they were unplanned.

  Mike Scarlatti : Which affects our subject profile, which affects our response.

  Detective Danny Price : Okay, and what about the injured?

  Mike Scarlatti : [annoyed]  We're on it! Sir.

• Gregory Parker : This kid hasn't killed anyone yet. He's had ample opportunity.

  Mike Scarlatti : Nothing on the Internet. No creepy photos. No "look at me and my gun" stuff.

  Gregory Parker : Classic domestic scenario. Regent Park, projects, poverty... Mom's unemployed, dad's got a criminal record. Drugs, couple of domestic assaults on the mother.

  Mike Scarlatti : Probably where he got the gun.

  Gregory Parker : Yeah, well, a kid like this, no money, horrible home life, stuck in a fancy-pants high school? It's a perfect storm. It's still no excuse.

• Ella Brandt : [on phone to Parker]  He is a good person. He wouldn't hurt anyone. At least, he wouldn't have. I just... I just wish... I should have done something. I could have changed this.

  Gregory Parker : No, this isn't your fault, honey.

  Ella Brandt : When he was getting the crap kicked out of him, I didn't have to just stand there like some idiot while the biggest jerk in school was going after him. He was standing up for me. He was defending me.

• Detective Danny Price : [being placed under arrest after shooting the subject]  He killed my boy.

  Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : What? Come on, let's go.

  Gregory Parker : [on phone walking in]  Yeah, put him on.

  [to Danny] 

  Gregory Parker : Somebody wants to talk to you.

  Tony Price : [on phone]  Dad?

  Detective Danny Price : Tony?

  Tony Price : I'm okay.

  Detective Danny Price : Tony! You're okay...

  Tony Price : He just wanted me to say I'm sorry.

  Detective Danny Price : Tony...

  [sees Billy being treated by EMS and realizes what he's done] 

  Gregory Parker : I've got a son; he's in high school, too. So I get it, all right? I... I get it. But this is our job! And you gotta let us do it!

  Detective Danny Price : I'm sorry.

  Gregory Parker : Yeah... Yeah, me too, buddy. Me, too.

  [sees Billy then walks out] 

  Gregory Parker : Son of bitch.

• Ed Lane : [sitting down next to Parker after watching him beat up his locker in the locker room]  You can't... keep doing this to yourself.

  Gregory Parker : I miss my boy.

  Ed Lane : I know.

• Gregory Parker : Okay, last, but certainly not least, tomorrow a big drill with Team Five. And I, for one, am firmly anticipating a Team One victory.

  [everyone gets excited] 

  Ed Lane : Which is why we're going to spend the rest of this afternoon training, in gear, with weapons, in the six-story building we're going to use for tomorrow's training.

  Mike Scarlatti : [unexcitedly]  Training for a training exercise?

  Ed Lane : We play to win, Mr. Scarlatti. We play to win.

• Gregory Parker : Ma'am, where did the first responders go?

  [Chevali shakes head not understanding] 

  Gregory Parker : The, uh, first officers on the scene.

  Principal Chevali : I don't know. They just went in.

  Ed Lane : We got one on each door, two heading up to the third floor.

  Gregory Parker : Okay, Eddie. SRU only. We gotta control this, okay?

• Ed Lane : [escorting Ella out of the school]  Boss, this is Ella.

  Gregory Parker : Ella, hey. I'm Greg. I was on the phone with you. You did great. You did everything right.

  [Ella hugs him] 

  Gregory Parker : Billy's on his way to St. Mike's. He's gonna make it because you were there to help him. 'Cause you were there.
