Jesse Spencer: Matthew Casey

Quotes 

• Matthew Casey : [after being told about a scuffle between Severide and Otis that happened at Molly's the previous night]  You out of your mind? Did you really take a swing at Otis?

  Kelly Severide : Tried to. And I might try again. You need to get your guys in line.

  Matthew Casey : Maybe my guys aren't the problem.

  Kelly Severide : The hell they're not.

  Matthew Casey : Before your buddy Rice got here, Otis and Cruz were just as much family to you as Capp and Tony.

  Kelly Severide : I know Rice. He's not a ducker.

  Matthew Casey : You better be damn sure!

  Kelly Severide : Yeah, and you better keep Truck on their side of the fence!

  Matthew Casey : Oh, that's always a great move. Drawing lines between Truck and Squad. Like when you decided Squad doesn't vent right before Darden went up in flames!

  Kelly Severide : Did you really just say that?

  Matthew Casey : I'm just trying to make the point that if you...

  Kelly Severide : No, I got the point! Loud and clear!

• Matthew Casey : Connie said you wanted to see me, Chief.

  Wallace Boden : Yeah, come on in. Close the door. Okay. What is going on in my firehouse? Is it some kind of problem with Scott Rice?

  Kelly Severide : The only person who's got a problem with Scott Rice is Otis. And it's a total load.

  Wallace Boden : Specifically?

  Kelly Severide : It's not worth repeating.

  Matthew Casey : I agree, and I've already talked to Otis about it.

  Wallace Boden : Well, now you're talking to me. What is the accusation?

  Kelly Severide : There's a bogus claim that Rice ducked on a call.

  Wallace Boden : If it was bogus, why hasn't it been put to rest?

  Kelly Severide : That's what I want to know.

  Wallace Boden : Okay, the two of you. Get this situation under control. Understood?

  Matthew Casey : On it, Chief.

  Kelly Severide : You gonna talk to your guys?

  Matthew Casey : I will, yeah. Right now, I gotta go deal with Jack Nesbitt.

  Kelly Severide : Your... Your side business is more important than this?

  Matthew Casey : Actually, yeah. It is.

• Matthew Casey : [after Otis told him about his suspicions about Scott Rice]  Rice's mask malfunctions once, and you decide he's a ducker.

  Joe Cruz : Because I couldn't find anything wrong with his regulator.

  Matthew Casey : Which begs the question: Why are you snooping around his gear?

  Brian Zvonecek : Look, it's not just the mask, Casey. There's also the time he went back for his Denver bar.

  Matthew Casey : [sacrastically]  Oh, right, I almost forgot, the Denver bar. That clinches it.

  Brian Zvonecek : Lieutenant, I don't think we're overreacting here. What I do think is Severide is being blinded by his friendship with that guy.

  Matthew Casey : You guys can't go around talking smack about a member of Severide's team and not expect him to tear you a new one! I don't want to hear another word! Got it?

  Joe Cruz : We got it, Leiutenant.

  Connie : Casey, Sergant Voight wants to talk to you.

  Matthew Casey : Not interested. And tell him to stop calling.

  Connie : He's not on the phone this time.

• Antonio Dawson : Sergeant, old friend of yours is here.

  Hank Voight : Thanks for coming.

  Matthew Casey : You win. What do you need from me?

  Hank Voight : How long you work for Nesbitt?

  Matthew Casey : Little over a month, I guess.

  Hank Voight : Doing what?

  Matthew Casey : Expanding his club.

  Hank Voight : You see anything shady in your time over there?

  Matthew Casey : It's a strip club.

  Antonio Dawson : These guys traffic Eastern European women against their will across the Canadian border through an Indian reservation. They force them into work. It's kind of like indentured servitude.

  Matthew Casey : Like dancing at Stilettos?

  Hank Voight : Yeah, if they're lucky.

  Antonio Dawson : Point is, Nesbitt's almost certainly involved in some capacity. I mean, maybe he's only laundering the gang's money through his club, but he could be in much deeper.

  Hank Voight : Look, Casey, these women are being held against their will. Most of 'em have a sister or a mother back home who's under threat from the gang.

  Matthew Casey : Look, I get the general concept. Just tell me how I can help.

  Antonio Dawson : All right, first step: go to Nesbitt and get your job back. We'll figure it out from there.

• Matthew Casey : Olde Rumpelstiltskin 20. Only the best, huh?

  Jack Nesbitt : Always.

  Matthew Casey : Two scotches, on the rocks. Thanks.

  Jack Nesbitt : Are you buying me a drink in my own place?

  Matthew Casey : Listen, Jack, if we don't get in each other's faces, I think we'll work together just fine.

  Jack Nesbitt : Sounds more than fair. You passed the integrity test, Matt. An honest man is... hard to come by in this town.

  Matthew Casey : Can't argue with that.

  Jack Nesbitt : Welcome back. Friday night, I'm hosting an event. The investors want you there. Can you make it?

  Matthew Casey : Friday? Yeah, sure.

  Jack Nesbitt : Katya. Show Matt a good time, will you?

  Katya : Of course. I knew you'd be back.

  Matthew Casey : Really? I wasn't so sure. What's this event on Friday?

  Katya : Oh, it's just a little thing we do from time to time to show off the new girls. I'm glad you're back, Matt. You and me, we can look out for each other. That sound okay?

  Matthew Casey : Yeah.
