Deputy
Thursdays 9:00 PM on FOXDeputy Quotes
Cade: You know, the text I sent wasn't an invite. What are you doin'?
Bill: I'm dyin' on the tenth floor, man. I just needed a taste.
I'd sell my soul for the zen satisfaction of cuffin' a bad guy right now.
Bill
You know somethin'? You're right, Jerry. I've got a few ideas about what's best for the department, and that's why I'm not stepping down. Far from it. I've seen a lotta life from on top of a horse, and that's given me a new perspective. And a new perspective is exactly what this place needs. The people of Los Angeles deserve the best, so do me a favor. Worry more about them and less about me. I'll be seein' ya. Except you. If I see your face on the tenth floor again, I'll throw you out the window myself. Thanks for your time.
Bill
I'm a lawman. Never took a dime. Never put my hands on somebody unless I had to. Never pulled the trigger when there was another way. You want to hunt gangsters? Human traffickers? Well, I'm your huckleberry. But you're asking me to drag families from their homes so you can eat from the federal trough. When'd you lose your way, Jerry?
Bill
This is like that Brady Bunch episodes. Do remember? When they make Greg the rock star because he fits the suit? Well, I'm Johnny Bravo. And it didn't end well.
Bill
My dad used to say there are no victories on the job. And it never ends. You're blessed if you wake up with another chance to make it work, another chance to force the world to be a little nicer.
Bill
But here's the deal. You can't kill me. Not now. You're too small, and I'm too good. I used to kill people for a living. I was a sniper in the Marine Corps., and I used to watch my targets for a long time, learn their habits, best place to take them. Maybe you can do that with me. Stay with us, and that way, you can keep an eye on me. Meantime, we will take care of you and your sister, and we won't let anything happen to either one of you. That way, you can watch me and wait for your shot. That sound like a plan?
Cade
Cade: It will take us an hour to hike down.
Bill: Can you ride?
Cade: You mean horses? [nods] Summer camp.
Brianna: Took silver in the Junior Olympics for dressage.
Bill: Course you did.
Bishop, I know what the smart play here is. It's just that I like to do dumb things sometimes.
Bill
Bill: The odds of findin' this kid alive...
Cade: Fifty-fifty. Alright? Either we find her or we don't. No reason not to be optimistic.
Brianna: Who taught you math?
Brianna: You're like the Ned Stark of the LA Sheriff's Department.
Bill: The what?
Brianna: Not a Thrones fan?
Bill: I never got through the first season. [pause] Ned's the hero, right?
Bill: This isn't a political statement, it's just the opposite. I respect that you have a job to do, but ours is different, and people need to know it regardless of how they got here. Because if they're afraid to come to us for help, then we're gift-wrapping about a million victims for every bad guy in town to prey on with total impunity. I'm sorry, but I'm canceling this operation. Deputies, you're dismissed.
London: You can't do this, Bill! With the federal grants, we'll lose millions!
Bill: Look, I don't blame you for being pissed, Jerry. You come to me with specific targets, but we are not taking part in any roundups. Not while I'm sheriff.
