  [Parker laughs] 

• Jules Callaghan : [on radio]  Hey Spike, the subject's car is registered to a Donald Mitchell.

  Gregory Parker : He got custody?

  Mike Scarlatti : Yeah.

  Gregory Parker : His wife's stealing the kids.

• Gregory Parker : What would you do?

  Ed Lane : What do you mean?

  Gregory Parker : What?

  Ed Lane : It wouldn't happen.

• Gregory Parker : We go in hard.

  Ed Lane : [on radio]  Okay, here's the plan: Sam, window entry; Leah, Wordy, through the door with me. Wordy, you're on ram. Leah, you're on D-D's.

  Leah Kerns : I can do the window, Ed.

  Ed Lane : What's that?

  Leah Kerns : I've got a lot of experience on that. You know, burning buildings and all.

  Ed Lane : Excuse me?

  Leah Kerns : [sees Sam smiling and shaking his head at her]  Right. Copy that. I'm on D-D's.

  Ed Lane : Good. Questions. I'm on my way up. Get into position.

  Leah Kerns : Guess that was a mistake?

  Sam Braddock : [quoting what Ed told him when he was the rookie]  When you're the democratically elected team leader, you get to make autocratic decisions.

• Sam Braddock : [on radio in vehicle next to Jules after learning Jason took the children]  Boss, we have a situation. Uniforms report Jason Wallace wasn't at home. Neighbors saw him leave.

  Gregory Parker : What about the kids?

  Jules Callaghan : Unconfirmed, but uh, we found juice boxes.

  Sam Braddock : Could be his.

  Jules Callaghan : Spotty Leopard Jungle Nectar?

• Gregory Parker : [on radio to Leah who is in pursuit of Helen with her abducted children]  Okay, we're on our way! Keep a distance; not to provoke her.

  Ed Lane : Let's move.

  Donald Mitchell : [in custody]  Take me with you! I want to make sure they're all right!

  Ed Lane : It's a little late in the game for that, Donald.

  [turns around to see Parker] 

  Ed Lane : Oh, boss, come on, you're not going to take him.

  Gregory Parker : Stressful situation for the kids. It might be good to have the other parent there. Come on, if it was your boy, what would you want?

  Ed Lane : You talking about my boy or your boy?

• Ed Lane : [as Parker approaches Helen who has her children and a gun]  Boss, wait for the shield.

  Gregory Parker : She thinks the system's against her, Ed. She needs to see some trust. But I know you got my back.

  Ed Lane : [seriously]  Greg...

  Gregory Parker : Good, Eddie. I'm good.

• Gregory Parker : Helen, listen to me. You haven't hurt anyone. You haven't threatened anyone, and that's good. It means you'll be with your kids again sooner rather than later. But if you raise that gun right now, everything changes. So please, please just put the gun down.

  Sam Braddock : [pointing his gun at Helen - whispering to himself]  Don't you dare. Don't make me go there.

• Ed Lane : When kids are involved, it's hard to see straight. It affects your judgment.

  Gregory Parker : Yeah. Yeah, I hope like hell they get a second chance.

  Ed Lane : I'm talking about you here, Greg.

  Gregory Parker : What are you saying?

  Ed Lane : You were thinking about your kid out there.

  Gregory Parker : My choices were appropriate.

  Ed Lane : Your choices were dangerous.

  Gregory Parker : You know what, Eddie? All the calls have an element of risk.

  Ed Lane : You want me to watch your back. Boss, this is me watching your back. I'm just saying.

• Gregory Parker : [on radio during vehicle pursuit of Helen]  Spike, the make of her car - any chance she's got one of those onboard emergency communications systems?

  Mike Scarlatti : Checking... checking... Do I get to say "bingo?"

  Gregory Parker : Only if it's a yes.

  Mike Scarlatti : Bingo.

  Gregory Parker : Awesome.
