Ray Gauquin No more beer for Linda. Doubles for Jack - he's gonna be a father!
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?
I never said it wasn't dangerous.
Linda Morrison
When we talked about it, I asked you and you said it wasn't dangerous.
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?
Linda Morrison

Linda Morrison
[Jack gets closer to Linda]
Don't.

[smiles]
Sort of a tarzan/jane thing?

You think it's funny to fornicate with loose women?

Well, if you want to have sex, why don't you just get married?
Keith Perez I can't, sir.
Why?

Keith Perez [pulls back the curtain, laughing]
Keith Perez GOTCHA!
There's something I wanted to talk to you about, Cap. I was thinking of transferring to the truck.
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.
I know that, Cap. And I love being on the pipe, but... I want this, Mike.
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?
Yes, sir.
Dennis Gauquin [bringing beer to the table]
Here we go, green beers all around.
Linda Morrison
I'm good, thanks.
Dennis Gauquin Uh, Linda? It's Saint Paddy's Day, everyone drinks.
Linda Morrison
It's okay, I'm not drinking, I'll just have a diet coke.
Dennis Gauquin What, are you pregnant?
[long silence from Linda] [Jack looks incredulously at Linda who nods]
What? You're kidding!
Linda Morrison
Baby, I was gonna wait and tell you tonight. I wanted to surprise you!
Why do they always have to be on the 12th floor? Why can't they be on the 4th?
[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!
[speaks into radio]
Deputy Chief One to communications I'm on location assuming command, strike out a fourth alarm!
[to command firefighter]
Ok, shut down all exterior operations, get your asses in there and find him. Go-go-go.
Hey! What the hell is going on in here! Huh? I come back from tellin' a mother her son is dead, and this is goin' on, in my house, IN MY HOUSE! We deal with this by stickin' together. We take it. We learn from it. And we get back on the god damn truck and that's how we honor Dennis. You got that? Anyone think about lowering the flag? Do it!
It's never an easy thing, saying goodbye to a brother firefighter, it's not. And this time, particularly is difficult for me because I watched Jack grow into a, well, into one of the finest firefighters I've ever known. He joined this department because he wanted to help people, who knows how many homes are still standing because Jack was there or how many lives were spared. He gave his life for that cause. We'll never forget you Jack. And we're better for having known you. But I make you this one promise, tomorrow when that bell rings, we will be back on the truck, because you were the bravest of the brave. People are always asking me, how is it that firefighters run into a burning building when everyone else is running out? Well, Jack, you answered that question by saving another man's life. Your courage is the answer. And today we will be as brave as you, by not mourning you, but by celebrating your life. So I'd like everyone to stand up and celebrate the life of Jack Morrison.
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.
Tell Linda I love her... That I've loved her from the second I saw her.
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.
