Quotes 

• Christopher Herrmann : With CAD down, we're turning back the hands of time.

  Darren Ritter : Uh, how far back are we turning them?

  Christopher Herrmann : A couple of decades, give or take.

  Randall McHolland : That was when we had to rely on our instincts, not just gadgets and gizmos.

  Blake Gallo : Oh, come on. You use them, too. Not to their full potential, but... I don't see you flipping through a road atlas.

  Randall McHolland : I'm actually impressed you know what that is. My point: I know how to exist without them.

  Kylie Estevez : Are we gonna need all this stuff?

  Christopher Herrmann : Yeah, some are for us and some are to lend to new houses, you know, that aren't stocked with the same old equipment that we got.

  Randall McHolland : That's where you three come in. Meet your new best friends: walkies, landlines, and something I'm positive was a little before your time, pen and paper.

  Christopher Herrmann : Everything that comes in and out of here has to be logged by hand.

  Blake Gallo : Or we could create a digital spreadsheet and share via a cloud-sharing service.

  Randall McHolland : Gallo, have you received a single notification since the routers went dead?

  Blake Gallo : [checks his phone]  Hmmm, I don't have a... Ritter, can you load anything?

  Darren Ritter : No service.

  Randall McHolland : Without Wi-Fi, this place is a dead zone.

• Darren Ritter : Whoa, Cruz. Hey, you--you spilled coffee on your shirt. And it's inside out.

  Christopher Herrmann : Let's pump the brakes on the caffeine, Joe. You gotta use it tactically and not a meal replacement. I learned that one the hard way.

  Joe Cruz : If I could just get three hours of uninterrupted sleep.

  Christopher Herrmann : Yeah, now trust me, your body, it'll adjust. You know, when Lee Henry first came home, that kid...

  [Mouch's phone rings] 

  Christopher Herrmann : Mouch, you plan on answering that?

  Randall McHolland : It's Trudy's cousin, the talkative one.

  Blake Gallo : Just silence the call so the rest of us don't have to hear it ringing.

  Randall McHolland : Huh, when did that button start doing that?

  Darren Ritter : Uh, about as long as the phone's been out.

  Blake Gallo : Come on, that's like cellphone 101.

  [alarm blares] 

  Emergency dispatch : Truck 81...

  Unknown male voice : Uh, no, sorry, uh, Engine 51, Ambulance 61, person injured at 1056 Hudson, uh, Avenue.

  Blake Gallo : That was an actual person.

  Christopher Herrmann : I haven't heard that in a long time.
