Quotes 

• Kelly Severide : How we doing, Nathan? You hanging in there? Hey, buddy, you still with me?

  Nathan : I'm here.

  Kelly Severide : Don't give up on me, okay? I want you to promise me. I've seen guys a lot bigger and a lot stronger than you give up, and once they do, you're done. You're gone. There's nothing I can do for you. So I want you to promise me, kid.

  Nathan : I promise.

  Kelly Severide : Yeah, good-good man.

  [looks through Nathan's backpack and finds a binder clip] 

  Kelly Severide : [laughs]  Nathan.

  Nathan : What is it?

  Kelly Severide : Why didn't you... Look at this.

  [puts the binder clip on Nathan's severely bleeding artery] 

  Kelly Severide : So what were you doing, joyriding this thing, anyway?

  Nathan : My father... he's in construction. He promised me over and over again, ever since I was little, that he'd teach me how to drive a loader. That was before he left. So I figured I'd teach myself so if he ever came back, I could show him that I didn't need him.

  Kelly Severide : I know the feeling, bud. My dad was a firefighter, and now I am too. But I did it without his help.

  Nathan : Is it hard?

  Kelly Severide : No, it's the best job in the world. Look, I'll tell you what. As soon as we get out here, I'll take you down to the firehouse, and we'll go for a ride in the truck. How's that sound?

  Nathan : Cool.

  Kelly Severide : Cool.
