- Raymond Holt
Morning! Diaz, Peralta.- Jake Peralta
Captain. You're smiling. It's very weird, like seeing a turtle out of its shell.- Raymond Holt
I'm happy. Our drug task force was a success and today I get to watch my arch nemesis, Madeline Wuntch, drape a medal around my neck.- Rosa Diaz
Also we cleaned up the streets.- Raymond Holt
Yea sure, that's good too. So I've been planning how to zing Madeline when she puts the medal on, I have the perfect line. Wuntch time is over. It's a play on lunch time.- Jake Peralta
Yes, devastating burn sir, but you know what would really show her is if you said nothing at all.- Raymond Holt
Oh interesting, interesting. Let Madeline know she's not even worth my staying up all night crafting zingers.- Rosa Diaz
Wuntch time took you all night?- Jake Peralta
Trust me, turn the other cheek. Which I recently learned is about faces and not butts. But, works either way.- Raymond Holt
Yes! I should be the bigger person. That shouldn't be hard given that Madeline's not technically, a person.
- Charles Boyle
Stake me out tonight. I don't want to let you go till we catch this guy.
- Gina Linetti
For you, that's basically walking up to him and jamming your tongue down his throat.- Rosa Diaz
Shutup.- Raymond Holt
Yes, Gina, that's enough.- Gina Linetti
You're right, sorry. Too far. But let me just add one little thing, off topic. Rosa wants to bone your nephew.
- Michael Hitchcock
Well, well, well! Looks like Boyle's out and Hitchcock's in! What do you wanna do tonight? Go to a strip club? Have dinner with my wife?- Jake Peralta
Are those separate options, or does she live at the strip club?- Michael Hitchcock
You wanna know you gotta go.
- Charles Boyle
And all this is who I am. And if you don't likes this stuff, then we shouldn't be friends.- Jake Peralta
Great, cuz guess what? We're not friends.- Charles Boyle
That's fine with me, baby!
- Jake Peralta
Sir, I'd like to request a new partner. I can't work with Charles. We're not friends anymore.- Raymond Holt
Friends? I don't care if you're friends. This is not a playdate. This is your commanding officer ordering you to do your job.- Jake Peralta
Fine, but I hope you can live with the fact that you're forcing people to spend time together who would rather not.- Raymond Holt
I'm fine with that
- Rosa Diaz
I might. But I don't want to talk to you about it.- Raymond Holt
Perfect, because I'm not comfortable knowing about it.- Rosa Diaz
Great, then let's never talk about it.- Raymond Holt
Let's never talk about anything.- Rosa Diaz
Done.
