Arrest in Transit (2014)

Christian Stolte: Randall McHolland

Quotes 

• Randall McHolland : First, I had to get myself appropriately psyched up for the conversation, which I did. Then I called her office and said, "May I speak to Dr. Lu?" Which made me realize, I don't even know her first name.

  Christopher Herrmann : Cut to the chase, Mouch.

  Randall McHolland : Right, so she finally gets on the line and I am ready to tell her, "I can't have dinner with you!"

  Wallace Boden : Why do I get the feeling that never happened?

  Randall McHolland : Chief, I couldn't get the words out. She sounded so excited. I didn't want to send on some downward spiral. Apparently, doctors have a very high rate of depression.

  Wallace Boden : Optometrists do?

  Randall McHolland : Oh, I believe she's an ophthalmologist.

  Wallace Boden : Mouch, you have got to cancel. Trudy is not the type of woman who can be trifled with.

  Randall McHolland : I know. You're right.

  Christopher Herrmann : Wait, hold on a sec. Mouch is a grown man. Trudy's got no right to tell him who he can and cannot break bread with.

  Randall McHolland : There's a certain amount of logic to that.

  Christopher Herrmann : I told you not to get Chief involved. You don't need to add this to your plate of concerns. Just forget the whole thing happened.

  Wallace Boden : Mouch, I outrank him. When I say that you have to cancel, you have to cancel, and that is an order.

  Randall McHolland : When you're right, you're right.

  Wallace Boden : You know what? The two of you, get out of my office. Now.

  Christopher Herrmann : Trudy did not put a ring on you.

  Randall McHolland : I know. You're right.

  Emergency dispatch : Truck 81, Truck 66, Squad 3, Ambo 61, structure fire, 2000 South Pellerton.

• Joe Cruz : What's wrong, Mouchie? They didn't clear you for duty?

  Randall McHolland : Guys, I don't know what happened. I was just being friendly, asking about glass eyes-- which is a bona fide interest of mine-- and all of a sudden, I have a date.

  Christopher Herrmann : What?

  Randall McHolland : I was simply expressing gratitude for how well she fixed me up and I said, "I owe you a steak dinner," and then she says, "Let's go out Friday."

  Joe Cruz : So you asked her out to dinner.

  Randall McHolland : It's an expression!

  Otis : It is?

  Christopher Herrmann : Is she attractive?

  Joe Cruz : Herrmann, Mouch is spoken for.

  Otis : You can't blame Mouch for this.

  Joe Cruz : Why not?

  Otis : Because he's got momentum on his side. Nothing succeeds like success.

  Joe Cruz : Oh, so nothing fails like failure? Is that what you're saying?

  Otis : What? No, no, I'm just saying, now that Mouch is a taken man, he's like catnip to other women.

  Christopher Herrmann : I'm a taken man. I ain't got no lady doctors throwing themselves at me.

  Randall McHolland : Trudy will rip my head clean off if she finds out I got a date with another woman. I gotta get out of this!

  Otis : Joe Cruz. Talk to me.

  Joe Cruz : About what?

  Otis : About the rain cloud that's following you around.

  Joe Cruz : I got put in the friend zone.

  Otis : By who?

  [alarm blares] 

  Joe Cruz : You don't know her.

  Emergency dispatch : Ambulance 61, injured male, Cordova High School, 3317 South Garfield.

  Otis : Well, maybe, whoever she is, she'll turn out to be a really good friend.
