Brett Dalton: Lieutenant Jason Pelham

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Jason Pelham : Hey, Chief. You wanted to see me?

  Wallace Boden : Come on in, Pelham. Close the door. How do you like working at 51?

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : Oh, you've got a great team. Very glad to be subbing in for however long you have me.

  Wallace Boden : You've impressed me enough that I've thought about bringing you on full time. So I did a little research.

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : Found out about my suspension.

  Wallace Boden : Not just any suspension. Longest suspension ever issued by the CFD.

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : Hmm. I'm not sure if I knew that. Maybe they should've given me some kind of plaque.

  Wallace Boden : Wanna tell me what happened?

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : You got the file right there.

  Wallace Boden : It's a little light on details.

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : I'd love to fill the blanks for you, Chief, 'cause I have great respect for you. But I can't.

  Wallace Boden : I can't bring you on full-time without some kind of an explanation.

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : I understand.

  Wallace Boden : And you have nothing to say on the subject?

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : Not on that subject, no. I'll say this, Chief: I think I fit in at 51. I'm a great firefighter and a commanding leader. I am loyal, tough, honest, and I'll lay it all on the line for the men and women I work with, which is what I see here. Look, I've been a floater at a lot of houses, and I haven't fought to be part of any of them. But I will fight my ass off and do whatever it takes to be a part of this one.

  Wallace Boden : Whatever it takes except tell me what happened at Whiskey Point.

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : That's right.

• Lieutenant Jason Pelham : Kylie, Chief Boden in his office?

  Kylie Estevez : No, he stepped away for a while.

  Blake Gallo : Wait. Are you serious? You're gonna report me to Boden? I got us in that house with no damage whatsoever. What's your problem?

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : What you did was very a direct order. You went freelancing, Gallo. You could've fallen trying to get in that window or found a vicious dog waiting for you inside or an armed occupant who thought you were breaking in!

  Blake Gallo : I can handle myself, Lieutenant!

  Lieutenant Jason Pelham : Yeah?

  Blake Gallo : Yeah. Not like you'll ever see it, treating me like a little kid, right? "Stay on my hip. Wait by the truck." I'M NOT A CANDIDATE ANYMORE! I'VE BEEN RIDING 81 SINCE WAY BEFORE YOU GOT HERE, AND I'LL RIDE IT WAY AFTER YOU'RE GONE!
