girls are gross

Hey, you remember what I said about your mom being here with us? Well, I'm pretty sure she'd find a way to kick my ass if I didn't keep my promise to get you out. But the thing is, I don't think she'd want me to leave all these people behind to die either. And I want so much for her to be proud of us.

I won't run. I'll never run.

I want to hear all about it, right after I tell you that I just delivered a baby. And I'm not gonna lie, it was crazy. I mean, the mother, this 18-year-old girl, she was amazing, I don't... I don't know how she did it. I don't know how you did it. By the way, good job.

Some first date, huh?

You think I'll run. And maybe I would have once, okay? But I'm not that guy anymore. If you think that your crazy life is gonna scare me off, you are so wrong, okay? There's nothing out there or in here that scares me as much as the thought of losing you. There's no version of my life... that doesn't have you in it. You can't promise that. I just did.

1x06 opening scene - requested by @paraflymore

I was almost killed up there in that stairwell, and the thing I was worried about wasn't... wasn't death. It was that I wasn't gonna see her again.

I just incinerated a little girl's body and collected the ashes of a fellow cop. Can we save the detective act for the morning?

I don't actually think girls are gross. I've, uh, sort of been with a lot of them. It's like, uh, it's like a crutch or a... or a coping m... Whatever. My childhood wasn't a picnic. So I've always had a hard time letting people in. As soon as I try to get close, I move on.

#sometimes i have to remind myself that i'm watching for a plot (not really)

-If it's like that in here, what is it like outside the walls of this hospital? I mean, who's in charge? - Looks like I am. God help us.
