Quotes
-
[Danny has been cleared of an officer-involved shooting, and his rookies' careers are over]
Detective Danny Messer : I can't stop thinking, Mac, how I treated these cops like they were my family, and they didn't think twice about throwing me to the wolves. I've been doing this job way too long. I gotta work with people I can trust.
[dissolve to the lab two weeks later]
Detective Danny Messer : Just finished with Chief Sinclair.
Lindsay Monroe Messer : And?
Detective Danny Messer : That's it. It's done. No more Sergeant Messer. Just a... plain old detective.
Lindsay Monroe Messer : Does that mean I don't have to salute you in the morning anymore?
Detective Danny Messer : I still need you to do that.
[Lindsay laughs]
Lindsay Monroe Messer : You feel all right?
Detective Danny Messer : I mean, it wasn't easy giving up the stripes, you know.
Lindsay Monroe Messer : It's the right move, Danny.
[Danny glances at Mac walking by in the hallway]
Detective Danny Messer : This is where I belong.
