- Kelly Severide: April.
- April Sexton: Oh. Wow, Kelly.
- Kelly Severide: How are you doing? You look good.
- April Sexton: Good, good. I heard you were a firefighter.
- Kelly Severide: Yeah, I'm over on 51. Scott Rice is there too. Look, a bunch of us are getting together at Molly's Pub in Bucktown after shift. You should come by.
- April Sexton: No, I don't think so.
- Kelly Severide: What are you talking about? It'll be fun. Why not?
- April Sexton: Because you suck.
- Kelly Severide: Hey, what was that? Hey. Hey, April!
- April Sexton: Kelly, it actually takes being a good friend to earn my forgiveness. I gotta get back to work.
- Kelly Severide: April! One drink.
- Peter Mills: Hey.
- Scott Rice: Hey. Scott Rice. Filling in on Squad.
- Peter Mills: Yeah. Peter Mills. I'm...
- Scott Rice: Paramedic. Columbo's got nothing on me.
- Peter Mills: You and Severide go way back, huh?
- Scott Rice: Yeah. Way, way back.
- [alarm blares]
- Emergency dispatch: Ambulance 61, Squad 3...
- Scott Rice: Look at us, Peter.
- Emergency dispatch: Collapse victim.
- Scott Rice: Working together already.
- Emergency dispatch: 3230 Grant Street.
- Matthew Casey: [playing with Pouch] Up, up, up.
- Brian Zvonecek: Casey. So... talked to Weathersby over at 59. He confirms it.
- Matthew Casey: Confirms what?
- Brian Zvonecek: The, uh, the Rice thing. Throwing the guy out the window?
- Matthew Casey: Weathersby was there?
- Brian Zvonecek: Well, no, but his cousin worked at 31 same time as Rice.
- Matthew Casey: So Weathersby's cousin saw Rice throw a guy out a window?
- Brian Zvonecek: Well, not directly. He was searching the basement, but there *are* witnesses. The guy ended up in a wheelchair.
- Matthew Casey: Let Severide worry about Rice, huh?
- Brian Zvonecek: Fine. But if he cracks and he punches somebody, don't blame me.
- Matthew Casey: Why would I blame you?
- Randall McHolland: I messed everything up.
- Wallace Boden: Don't give yourself such a hard time, Mouch.
- Christopher Herrmann: You did a great thing way back when. You gave someone a child who really wanted one. Bottom line is, your obligation ended there.
- Randall McHolland: Did it? 'Cause this is crazy! I can't suddenly become a parent! I'm--I'm a middle-aged man! Well, you're different. You have a wife and you're--you're mature.
- Wallace Boden: I was scared too. Still am. Every single day.
- Randall McHolland: The fear doesn't go away?
- Wallace Boden: Look, there's no logic to parenthood. None. Look at this. Intellectually, I know and understand that a two-hour-old baby is not an attractive thing. Looks like a little old man, but to me, he's my son, and... Damn it, Mouch, I haven't slept in weeks.
- Christopher Herrmann: It's not like you're gonna be staying up all night and changing diapers. This is an adult we're talking about here, all right? For all we know, she already has a dad. Maybe she just wanted to meet somebody with her own DNA. Shake your hand.
- Wallace Boden: [mutters] Yeah.
- Randall McHolland: I want to give this thing a shot.
- Christopher Herrmann: Attaboy.
- Kelly Severide: Yeah, he's an old friend. I'm trying to get him on Squad.
- Christopher Herrmann: Oh, Rice over at 31. Used to be there? Yeah, he's a great guy.
- Joe Cruz: That man could tell a story.
- Capp: What I remember, Rice was the kind of guy that always had to be the center of attention.
- Kelly Severide: Ahh, come on. You'd love working with him.
- Brian Zvonecek: Scott Rice. Isn't he the one that got in a fight during a call and threw some guy out of a third story window?
- Joe Cruz: Yes!
- Matthew Casey: Can the gossip. Severide wouldn't bring him in here if he was a problem.
- Peter Mills: Who, who are we talking about?
- Joe Cruz: Uh, Severide's buddy, Scott Rice. He might be taking Newhouse's old spot on Squad.
- Peter Mills: Newhouse's? You mean *my* old spot?
- [Cruz shrugs]
- Scott Rice: Hey, Kelly.
- Kelly Severide: Scott.
- Scott Rice: I'm ready.
- Kelly Severide: What?
- Scott Rice: Look, you said to tell you when I'm ready, so, uh... I'm ready.
