Yokas: Forgot how many personal things I tell you. Guess I forgot how much I talk to you. You know? Because you weren't there for me to talk to. I miss you, Bosco.

Bosco: Nobody thinks I got feelings.

Sully: You know this thing with Faith, all that stuff her old man said? Nothing's ever one person's fault.
Bosco: You haven't spent enough time around me.

Bosco: You seen Yokas? I've been trying to call her all weekend.

Monroe: That's not the point.

Fred: You never want to go to stuff like that.

Yokas: Yeah, but maybe you'll get someone who doesn't talk about their husband and kids all shift.

Kim: We were talking.
Jimmy: Well then he seriously needs to get his suspension looked at.

Bosco: I'm thinking about quitting and doing something else.
Yokas: Really?
Bosco: You haven't thought about it? After all this?
Yokas: Yeah... so are you?
Bosco: And let that skinny little bearded bastard think he beat me? Hell no. Give me a parachute and a pistol and drop me in there. I'll shoot him in the head myself.

Lt. Swersky: It's good to see you up and around, Bosco.
Bosco: You should be glad, Boss. I heard on the news you got people getting shot right here in the building?
Lt. Swersky: Yeah... It was an unusual day.
Bosco: I leave for a few months, you let the whole place go to hell?
Lt. Swersky: Are you trying to piss me off in the first two minutes?
Bosco: No, I'll hold that 'till tomorrow.

Bosco: When I have kids I'm going to have vehicle locators surgically implanted right in their asses.
Yokas: What, like a baby Lojack?
Bosco: Yeah, why not? You kids are definitely worth more than your Buick.

Sully: I'm not afraid of much, really. Not blood, not snakes or rats, not even heights. Everyone has something that makes their skin crawl. Something that wakes them up from a deep sleep in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, reaching for the bedside lamp. My nightmare comes to visit maybe every month. It stalks me, slips in, bringing with it the smell of wet dirt and a confined space. See, I'm terrified of being buried alive.

Bosco: You think when I'm married I'm going to beat my wife, because that's what I saw growing up?
Faith: I don't think it has to be that way. Not if that's not how you want it to be.

Yokas: Animals?

Bosco: What?
Yokas: Nothin'.
Bosco: You don't watch those shows? Best shows on the box.
Yokas: I guess I must be missing out.
Bosco: You are. A lioness with her cubs in the tall grass. No human beings around for miles.
Davis: Except for the 18 guys in the camera truck?
Bosco: You gotta ruin it for me, right?

Bosco: Look, I know you're upset but if we're going to have to rely on me being the level-headed one, we're going to have some serious problems.

Show generally

Character mistake: In the final episode, Carlos visits Doc in the psychiatric hospital for advice concerning his upcoming marriage to Holly. While talking, Carlos refers to Doc's deceased wife as "Linda", while throughout the series, it has been made very clear that her name was Deborah.

Trivia: The NYPD doesn't actually use the phrase "third watch" to refer to that particular shift. Series creator Edward Berneo had been a police officer in Chicago, and thinking it would make a good title, borrowed the phrase from the Chicago PD.
