Chief Kennedy: People are always asking me how is it that firefighters run into a burning building when everyone else is running out. Courage is the answer.
Jack Morrison: Tell Linda I love her... That I've loved her from the second I saw her.
Jack Morrison: [Latched onto a frantic man while hanging from a rope] Calm down! Sir - you need to calm down! I swear to God I'll drop you!
Chief Kennedy: No more beer for Linda, doubles for Jack! He's gonna be a father!
Jack Morrison: Linda, what is wrong?
Linda Morrison: I saw you on the news, Jack, dangling from a rope! How could you tell me that it's not dangerous?
Jack Morrison: I never said it wasn't dangerous.
Linda Morrison: When we talked about it, I asked you and you said it wasn't dangerous.
Jack Morrison: I said it wasn't any more dangerous than being on the engine! I never said it wasn't dangerous!
Linda Morrison: Do... do... do you see me right now? Do you? 'Cos this isn't just about us. Have you thought about that?
[Jack approaches Linda]
Linda Morrison: Don't. Don't.
Jack Morrison: [whispers] I'm sorry.
Linda Morrison: I'm scared. I can't sleep. I keep having that dream about the red car turning up in front of the house when you don't come home.
[Jack gets closer to Linda]
Linda Morrison: Don't.
Jack Morrison: [as he walks away] I saved that man today.
Linda Morrison: Have you ever considered baby-sitting full time?
Chief Kennedy: What do you think I do at the firehouse?
Lenny Richter: Good confession now son... bless me father...
Jack Morrison: Bless me father for I have sinned. It's been seven years since my last confession
Lenny Richter: Seven years is a long time
Jack Morrison: Yes, father
Lenny Richter: All right, where do we start; theft, robbery, fraud, taxes?
Jack Morrison: Well, you know...
Lenny Richter: Taxes?, Always taxes... How about sex? Impure thoughts?
Jack Morrison: Well yes, quite a bit
Lenny Richter: Try to cut back. Are you married?
Jack Morrison: No
Lenny Richter: Are you a virgin?
Jack Morrison: [laughs] No, father
Lenny Richter: Well, you think its funny to fornicate with loose women?
Jack Morrison: What?
[smiles]
Jack Morrison: ... wait a minute...
Linda Morrison: Hi, I've heard alot about you!
Chief Kennedy: Yeah?
Linda Morrison: Yeah; you wear really sexy boxers, right? With the red love hearts on them?... little too tight?
Linda Morrison: So, you guys usually pick up girls in the supermarket? For fun, or...?
Jack Morrison: Usually I just throw them over my shoulder and carry them down a ladder.
Linda Morrison: [smiles] Sort of a tarzan/jane thing?
Lenny Richter: Why does it always have to be the 12th floor? Why cant they be on the 4th?
Lenny Richter: [during the traditional false-confession initiation] How about sex? Have you fornicated, son?
Keith Perez: Oh, yes, sir.
[laughs]
Lenny Richter: Why are you laughing? You think it's funny to fornicate?
Keith Perez: No, sir.
Lenny Richter: Well, why don't you just marry them?
Keith Perez: I can't, sir.
Lenny Richter: Why?
Keith Perez: Well, the church doesn't allow marriage between two men.
Lenny Richter: [to the other firefighters] What the...
Keith Perez: [pulls back the curtain, laughing]
[shouts]
Keith Perez: Gotcha!
Jack Morrison: There's something I wanted to talk to you about, Cap. I was thinking of transferring to the truck.
Chief Kennedy: Oh, geez. What the hell do you want to do that for? You're an engine man. Truck's a whole different thing. No water between you and the fire, no hose to lead you out if you get lost in the smoke. Not a good idea.
Jack Morrison: I know that, Cap. And I love being on the pipe, but... I want this, Mike.
Chief Kennedy: Ok. We'll give it a try. But you gotta tell me something. If this isn't for you, you tell me right away. Promise?
Jack Morrison: Yes, sir.
Lenny Richter: I'm getting too old for this shit.
Jack Morrison: You know, Mike asked me tonight if I loved the job like I did before, and for the first time in my life, I didn't know what to say.
