Abigail Hawk: Abigail Baker

Quotes 

• Sid Gormley : Boss, maybe he just hasn't had his defining moment yet.

  Frank Reagan : Defining moment?

  Sid Gormley : As a cop. We all got that one time, that one action, the nickel drops, we all go I love this job.

  Abigail Baker : How long has he been on the job?

  Frank Reagan : A little over four and a half years, which brings his family's total to somewhere around a century of service.

  Abigail Baker : Well, that's quite a legacy.

  Sid Gormley : Yeah, he should be proud, not whiny.

  Frank Reagan : He wasn't whiny, Syd.

  [to Garret] 

  Frank Reagan : Is this a first--you, with no opinion?

  Garrett Moore : As is often pointed out, I'm not a cop.

  Frank Reagan : I'm well aware.

  Garrett Moore : So, I have what is certain to be a distinctly, and likely unwelcome, minority opinion.

  Sid Gormley : That you're keeping to yourself? I like that.

  Frank Reagan : Please share.

  Garrett Moore : As a non-cop, I don't go all butterscotch and marshmallows talking about a big cop family.

  Frank Reagan : And therefore?

  Garrett Moore : What if we were talking about a surgeon from a long line of surgeons? Only this surgeon's only a surgeon because he felt pressured to be one? He hates it. But he didn't want to disappoint his family. You want him operating on you?

  Sid Gormley : Garrett, that's not the same thing.

  Garrett Moore : No? What if he's covering you in a police action and the guns come out? Has he ever fired his weapon in the line of duty?

  Sid Gormley : I didn't go through every page in his file.

  Garrett Moore : Let's assume he's one of the 99% in the department who hasn't. What if his partner's life's at stake? Remember, his heart's not in it. Never was.

  Frank Reagan : If he freezes up, that's his defining moment.
