Quotes 

• Christopher Herrmann : Hey.

  Jessica Chilton : Oh, hey.

  Christopher Herrmann : How you doing?

  Jessica Chilton : Great.

  Christopher Herrmann : Yeah?

  Jessica Chilton : Hey, I'm ready for another one, just... Truck and friends only this time.

  Christopher Herrmann : Maybe... we hold off on it a little while.

  Jessica Chilton : Hold off?

  Christopher Herrmann : I know that you think I'm an overnight success, but the truth is, I took a lot of real big hits before I got Molly's up and running. I lost my shirt more than a couple of times.

  Jessica Chilton : Are you abandoning ship, Captain?

  Christopher Herrmann : I don't wanna see you hurt, that's all.

  Jessica Chilton : Okay. All right, I totally get it. But just so you know, I'm all in on this thing whether you're helping or not.

  Christopher Herrmann : I admire your stick-to-itiveness, but...

  Jessica Chilton : I'm not giving up, Herrmann. Hey, thanks for all your help. Nobody supported me like that since my dad died. This whole Chillieeze thing was his idea. You know, the funny thing is, is you actually... you remind me of him. It meant a lot. You looking out.

• Jessica Chilton : Hey, whatcha making?

  Christopher Herrmann : Cheese toast, my specialty.

  Jessica Chilton : Little light on the cheese.

  Christopher Herrmann : My kids say the same damn thing.

  Jessica Chilton : [laughs]  Hey, so I just hope you know I ain't mad at ya.

  Christopher Herrmann : I'm glad to hear it. 'Cause I been thinking about it again.

  Jessica Chilton : Uh-oh.

  Christopher Herrmann : If you're gonna keep going, so am I. You steer and I'll be your category five at your back. But you gotta promise me one thing.

  Jessica Chilton : What?

  Christopher Herrmann : No more using your own money on Chilleeze. All right, I spoke with Cindy about this. We're gonna give you a personal, no-interest loan, from the Molly's fund. That's how much I believe in this thing.

  Jessica Chilton : Wow, um... I can't accept that.

  Christopher Herrmann : Hey. You can and you will. And here's what you can give me in return. Nothing more than a chance to get in on the ground floor when this thing's up and running.

  Jessica Chilton : Herrmann! You're the man.

  Christopher Herrmann : You're a good kid.

  Jessica Chilton : Thank you.

• Jessica Chilton : Okay, so the SEC has a lot of really boring rules about what constitutes as an investment for, um, a private business. So, technically, I can't really solicit investments, and you guys wouldn't be considered investors. You'd be backers. And the good news is, is that backers get rewards.

  [chorus of "yeahs"] 

  Jessica Chilton : Yeah, do you wanna hear what the rewards are?

  [chorus of "yeahs"] 

  Jessica Chilton : Okay, so, for ten dollars or more, you'll receive a six-pack of the inaugural round of Chilleeze Champagne.

  Capp : Wait, how many?

  Jessica Chilton : Hey, guys, actually, you know what, could you maybe tighten up the ranks a little bit so I don't have to yell at you?

  Christopher Herrmann : Yeah, come on up. Don't be shy. We've got plenty of room up here. Come on. Slide up.

  [Capp puts his coat and beer on Otis's and Cruz's table] 

  Brian Zvonecek : Oh, uh, sorry, you know, this is a Truck table. No Squad allowed. I'm sure you guys understand.

  Capp : When did you get so mouthy?

  Brian Zvonecek : You know what, I think it was right around the time I was accused of being a whiny gossip, when the fact of the matter is I'm right. Rice is a ducker.

  Tony : Whoa!

  [Severide lunges at Otis] 

  Jessica Chilton : Hey, guys, come on!

  Kelly Severide : Why don't you stand up, huh?

  Sylvie Brett : Guys!

  Kelly Severide : I told you once! You need to shut your mouth! You don't get a second warning!

  Brian Zvonecek : You keep sticking your head in the sand. Rice was ducking and no one on Squad gives a crap!

  [Severide and Otis fight until other people restrain them] 

  Tony : Knock it off!

  Kelly Severide : You know what, there's plenty of other places in this town to grab a drink.

  Gabriela Dawson : [glares threantingly]  Yeah, there are.

  Capp : You better watch yourself, Otis.

  Christopher Herrmann : Hey, enough with this sideshow. All right, let's go, come on. Back to the main event, man. All right, so listen, Chilli, you were saying about the rewards and...

  Jessica Chilton : It's okay. Let's just forget it.

  Christopher Herrmann : Nah, come on, are you sure?

  Jessica Chilton : It's fine. I'll just do it at the firehouse again sometime.

  [tries to take the poster off the easel, but they crash to the ground. She leaves Molly's in distress] 

  Christopher Herrmann : [to Otis]  Really?

  [Otis shrugs] 

• Christopher Herrmann : Whatever I said, it was in jest.

  Gabriela Dawson : We need to talk to you about Chilli.

  Sylvie Brett : Did you know she's put every penny she's got into this Chillieeze idea?

  Gabriela Dawson : Look, she respects you, so we were hoping... maybe instead of letting her put all her money into that new logo, you could get her to slow down.

  Christopher Herrmann : Slow down? You think that's the advice Mark Cuban gives his contestants on Shark Tank?

  Gabriela Dawson : I literally have no idea, but...

  Christopher Herrmann : You think Sir Richard Branson says every morning, "Oh, I better slow down"? The answer is no. He says, "How much faster can I go?"

  Sylvie Brett : Chilli is not a billionaire, Herrmann.

  Christopher Herrmann : And neither were those two before they struck gold. Do you have any idea who Chilli reminds me of? A young Christopher Herrmann. Big ideas, bright horizons. The last thing I'm gonna do is stand in that kid's way.

  [Dawson's cell phone rings] 

  Gabriela Dawson : Sorry, guys, one sec.

  [answers her cell] 

  Gabriela Dawson : Hey, Antonio, can I hit you back in a few? Of course, yeah. What's wrong?
