Quotes 

• Chief Anderson : Boden?

  Wallace Boden : Yeah? Chief, what can I do for you?

  Chief Anderson : You've been talking about me behind my back.

  Wallace Boden : Come again?

  Chief Anderson : There's scuttlebutt going all over the CFD that you had to jump in and save my ass on that last call.

  Wallace Boden : I have discussed the call with others, yes, but I certainly didn't say anything disparaging about you.

  Chief Anderson : It's true what they say about you, isn't it? You're a real wild card. No respect for the chain of command.

  Wallace Boden : Look who's trading in scuttlebutt.

  Chief Anderson : You see something on a scene, you bring it to the attention of the incident commander.

  Wallace Boden : There wasn't time.

  Chief Anderson : There wasn't time? Or you just decided you could handle it better than me? Maybe you thought you should've got the bump for Deputy District Chief.

  Wallace Boden : Chief, you have every right to be upset, but I didn't intend to undercut your authority. I had a different vantage point. I saw something. I acted. Simple as that.

  Chief Anderson : You don't want to make an enemy out of me, Chief.

  Wallace Boden : We are in agreement.

• Randall McHolland : You wanted to see us?

  Wallace Boden : Yeah. I have three questions.

  Wallace Boden : Are you going to Kenny Fallwell's cocktail party? If so, are your wives going? And what are they wearing?

  Randall McHolland : You wrote those down?

  Wallace Boden : I just hung up with Donna. She wanted me to ask.

  Christopher Herrmann : Well, yes, yes, and we will have Cindy and Trudy text her.

  Wallace Boden : Mission accomplished.

  Christopher Herrmann : Yeah.

• Matthew Casey : Think there's gonna be any fallout from Anderson?

  Wallace Boden : I'm hoping he got it all out of his system. But then again, he can be tricky: got a very fragile ego.

  Kelly Severide : For good reason. Did you remind him that he almost got some firefighters killed?

  Wallace Boden : You know that's not how I operate. Sometimes when you're a chief, you just got to suck it up and nod yes.

  Matthew Casey : Doesn't sound much different than when you're a lieutenant...

  Wallace Boden : Maybe not.
