Joe Minoso: Joe Cruz

Quotes 

• Joe Cruz : [carrying Patrick, who attempted suicide by locking himself in his garage and filling his car with carbon monoxide]  I got him! He's not breathing!

  Gabriela Dawson : Get him on the stretcher!

  Sylvie Brett : I'm not getting a pulse. We need to intubate.

  Gabriela Dawson : Okay, I got the monitor.

  Sylvie Brett : All right, I'm in.

  Gabriela Dawson : All right, shock and clear. Come on, Patrick. Increasing to 300. Clear. I got a pulse. Patrick. Patrick, can you hear me? No, no, no, no! Ah, can't do that. Can't do that, honey.

  Joe Cruz : Patrick. Patrick. Hey. Your dad needs you. And you can't bail on him now. Oh, hey. Oh, hey, hey. You screwed up. You can't change that. But he knows that you never meant for any of this to happen. Now you can keep this from getting worse. Give your dad a chance to forgive. You owe him that much at least.

  Gabriela Dawson : Heart rate's 110. Let's get him to Med.

  [phone rings] 

  Joe Cruz : Hey, Chief? Uh, Otis is getting out of surgery any minute. I was wondering if it'd be okay if I could get off so I could be there.

  Wallace Boden : You're not going alone.

  Kelly Severide : Copy that. Let's go.

  Joe Cruz : Thanks, Chief.

• Wallace Boden : Okay. Before we begin today, I have an update from the hospital. Otis is headed to surgery as we speak. Now, I'll report the news the moment I have it, but in the meantime, let's just keep him in our prayers. I have also been informed Samantha Haberman, the woman who took a bullet from the fire last shift, she has succumbed to her wounds.

  Joe Cruz : So what does that mean? Is her son finally gonna get arrested for man...

  Wallace Boden : That's on the CPD and the state's attorney to decide, not us. Look, okay, we had a terrible moment last shift. We nearly lost one of our own. So for the next few hours, I want each of us to put aside our anger so we can show this city who we are. Okay, then. Dismissed.

  [alarm blares] 

  Emergency dispatch : Engine 51, Ambo 61, Squad 3, house fire. 5082 North Bell Avenue.

  Joe Cruz : That's the house where Otis was shot.

  Kelly Severide : Let's move!

• Joe Cruz : But this is not something that you can decide.

  Brian Zvonecek : Why not? It's my name.

  Joe Cruz : Hey, Herrmann. Back me up on this.

  Christopher Herrmann : What's your problem?

  Brian Zvonecek : Okay, so. Last night, Lily and I were at Molly's North, talking, and we kind of got on the subject of how it's kind of infantilizing for everyone to still be calling me Otis.

  Christopher Herrmann : Infanti-what? Wait. We call you Otis because your name is Otis, Otis. I didn't even know your other name the first two years you worked here.

  Joe Cruz : Thank you. That's what I told him.

  Brian Zvonecek : Guys, my name is Brian. I was Otis when I was on elevator duty as a candidate. Fine, made sense. But I graduated from that role years ago.

  Christopher Herrmann : Nobody's changing anything.

  Brian Zvonecek : I'm not changing anything.

  Christopher Herrmann : Uh-buh! Firehouse nicknames are a sacred tradition. They are a sign of familiarity, brotherhood and respect.

  Brian Zvonecek : Hey, you know what?

  [Pointing to Mouch] 

  Brian Zvonecek : His name means half man, half couch. Guys, I'm just saying that words have power. Referring to me like a candidate changes the way I'm perceived.

  Connie : Good morning, gentlemen. Who ordered the limited edition "Dr. Who" Tardis LEGO set?
