Rick Gonzalez: Rene Ramirez, Wild Dog

Quotes 

• Dinah Drake : The Quadrant. You know, I heard about these guys when I was working undercover. I never could get anyone to confirm their existence.

  John Diggle : Yeah, well, they are real. Very, very real. We were tracking this one, Cassamento, hoping she would lead us to Diaz.

  Curtis Holt : Yeah, we were hoping the Scorpions would lead us to Diaz, too. Got some intel they were planning a huge thing tonight.

  Dinah Drake : We just figured it was drugs. Turns out it was an ambush. The Quadrant wanted the Scorpions dead.

  Curtis Holt : They wanted us dead, too. It's a good thing you guys showed up when you did.

  Rene Ramirez : You probably want a "thank you" or something, huh?

  John Diggle : What I want is to apologize, Rene. My feelings on how you guys conducted yourselves aside, things got really out of hand. And I'm sorry for the part that I played in it.

• Rene Ramirez : Every time I think about going out there again, all I can think of is Zoe. What's gonna happen to her if something happens to me?

  Zoe Ramirez : [entering]  I'll be fine, dad.

  Curtis Holt : Uh...

  Rene Ramirez : Uncle Curtis and I were just talking about...

  Zoe Ramirez : How you both wear masks and go and fight bad guys? It's way obvious. And you and Dinah talk way louder than you think you do?

  Curtis Holt : Really?

  [whispering] 

  Curtis Holt : Really?

  [normally] 

  Curtis Holt : Oh, yeah, I can actually hear it. It's pretty loud.

• John Diggle : What's on your mind?

  Rene Ramirez : I can't stop thinking about dying. Middle of the fight, I just froze. PTSD fritz-out. I mean, actually, it wasn't so much about dying as it was about...

  John Diggle : Leaving Zoe without a father.

  Rene Ramirez : Yeah, you get it. You got a kid younger than Zoe. How do you deal with it?

  John Diggle : I don't, man. Not out here. When I put this holster on, I leave "Daddy" home. I put the walls of compartmentalizing up hard, Rene. You've been out of the game for a month; over a month. It'll come back to you. Just give it some time.
