Carlos Nieto Quotes

	Season 5 / Episode 22: - Monsters Grace Foster: You were that close. Holly Levine: Yeah. I don't think you were really all that close. Carlos Nieto: Chipping away. Uh-huh.
	Season 5 / Episode 22: - Monsters Carlos Nieto: Watching Carlos yell at other drivers is good for your resume? Holly Levine: Oh, come on. Carlos Nieto: Ha ha. What? What? Are you jealous or something? Huh? Holly Levine: You have to be kidding me.
	Season 5 / Episode 22: - Monsters Holly Levine: [to Carlos] You know what? You're right. That's what keeps Grace from jumping all over you. Carlos Nieto: So, stop it, all right? Holly Levine: No way is it that stupid haircut or the disgusting way you lick your lips when you're talking to her or the way you never look higher than her chest or lower than her ass or just your general creepiness you get whenever you're around any woman. That slimy look you get in your eyes like we're all hunks of meat in a deli display case and you haven't eaten in years. That is all very attractive. In fact, I'm sure that you're the man Grace Foster's been looking for all her life. Carlos Nieto: I don't have a stupid haircut.
	Season 5 / Episode 21: - Higher Calling Grace Foster: It was non-stop medic heaven and I kicked its ass for 3 years and how does the city repay me? With a transfer to this undermanned country club. Carlos Nieto: Country club? Grace Foster: So while I'm figuring out how to get back there, how about you do us both a favor? Carlos Nieto: Sure. Grace Foster: One, I got a face, two, don't even think about trying to be friends, and three, don't ever let me hear you refer to me as a newbie. Got that?
	Season 5 / Episode 21: - Higher Calling Carlos Nieto: [to Grace] Look, I respect how much you loved your old detail, but we aren't any country club. Grace Foster: Yeah, okay. Carlos Nieto: Don't walk away from me, come here. You know what? None of us were born the day you got here. You don't know anything about us. You have no idea how many calls we take, how many lives we've saved and lost, how many bullets we've ducked, no matter how minor you manage to make it all sound. I don't care whether you came from Bed-Stuy or Baghdad, you're not gonna minimize my experience here just because it's not yours. So you either learn to respect us the way that we respect you or just keep your mouth shut until you've clawed your way back to that war zone where you'd rather be, you got that? Grace Foster: [to Kim] Guy's got stones.
	Season 5 / Episode 19: - Spanking the Monkey Carlos Nieto: [when he notices Kim at the rave] Kim? You go to raves? Carlos Nieto: Look, it's not what you think.
	Season 5 / Episode 17: - Family Ties (2) Dr. Breene: [to Carlos about Doc] Mr. Parker is an extreme example of what can happen if you don't have a release, someone to talk to. But sometimes it's enough for someone to just to listen. Carlos Nieto: Listen? I had a cop in my bus last night. He died. While I was talking to him, he just died and I don't know why. Medically, I just don't understand it. I need Monte Parker here so I can ask him to explain it to me. Because he'd probably know. That's what he was to me. He's the only person I talk to.
	Season 5 / Episode 16: - Family Ties (1) Carlos Nieto: What the hell does 911 have to do with it? Dr. Breene: Doc's statements made to the police officer that brought him out suggest it may be the root of his breakdown. Carlos Nieto: No, Doc's the one that we all talked to. He was the only real strong one. Doc Parker's the reason why I dropped out of med school, okay? Figured if being a paramedic was good enough for someone like him.
	Season 5 / Episode 15: - No More, Forever Carlos Nieto: Here's what I do understand: I'm not letting this man die on the floor of my firehouse. Monte 'Doc' Parker: Hey, you better sit back down, Carlos. Carlos Nieto: If he dies, you're a murderer. Monte 'Doc' Parker: Sit down! Carlos Nieto: You wanna shoot me? Shoot me.
	Season 5 / Episode 15: - No More, Forever Carlos Nieto: [to Doc] Do you understand what you've done. Monte 'Doc' Parker: Yeah, yeah. I'm keeping them from closing the house, just like I told you I would. Carlos Nieto: You shot a man. Monte 'Doc' Parker: Yeah, I had to. Carlos Nieto: Had to? That's...you might need real help.
	Season 5 / Episode 8: - Fury Carlos Nieto: Trust me, Kim doesn't need coffee to make her irritable.
	Season 5 / Episode 8: - Fury Carlos Nieto: [to Kim about Doc] Just give him some time, all right? I'll talk to him. Kim Zambrano: Talk him into retiring.
	Season 5 / Episode 6: - Surrender Off. Tyrone 'Ty' Davis Jr.: Oh, I don't know about the guy, Hank, but I hear the lady's pretty good at her job. Carlos Nieto: Don't you guys have anyone to shoot? Off. Tyrone 'Ty' Davis Jr.: Don't tempt me, man.
	Season 5 / Episode 5: - Goodbye to All That Off. Maurice 'Bosco' Boscorelli: Hey, we got wounded here. Carlos Nieto: We got wounded everywhere, Bosco.
	Season 4 / Episode 22: - The Price of Nobility Carlos Nieto: [to Kim] Oh, that means a lot coming from you, Lieu. Kim Zambrano: Oh, shut up. Kim Zambrano: Yes, sir.
	Season 4 / Episode 22: - The Price of Nobility Carlos Nieto: [to Doc after Alex is killed by the explosion] Doc, you don't... Monte 'Doc' Parker: What? Carlos Nieto: Doc, she's uh... Monte 'Doc' Parker: Did you give her CPR? Carlos Nieto: Doc, she... Monte 'Doc' Parker: Did you clear her airway? Carlos Nieto: She's gone. Monte 'Doc' Parker: What are her vitals? Carlos Nieto: She's gone. Monte 'Doc' Parker: What are her vitals?! Carlos Nieto: I'm sorry. Monte 'Doc' Parker: Breathing, bleeding, airway? Carlos Nieto: There was nothing to be done.
	Season 4 / Episode 20: - In Confidence Kim Zambrano: [to Carlos] All right, we gotta go to SoHo. Carlos Nieto: Do I look like a cabbie?
	Season 4 / Episode 20: - In Confidence Carlos Nieto: [to Kim] I hate working with Levine. She's always talking about her dead husband. Kim Zambrano: All right. No jokes about her dead husband. Carlos Nieto: It's kind of hard not to when she carries his ashes around her neck. Kim Zambrano: I thought that was potpourri.
	Season 4 / Episode 20: - In Confidence Carlos Nieto: [to Kim] You look fine. Kim Zambrano: Fine like "hot" or fine like "okay?"
	Season 4 / Episode 13: - Snow Blind Carlos Nieto: [to Davis] How many of our brethren you think aren't answering their phones? Off. Tyrone 'Ty' Davis Jr.: I'm gonna say most of them. Carlos Nieto: Wait a minute, why are we again? Off. Tyrone 'Ty' Davis Jr.: Because unlike them we are responsible city employees who are idiots and didn't know there was a storm coming.
	Season 4 / Episode 7: - Firestarter Carlos Nieto: [to Doc when he gets Joy's phone number] I know nothing. You rule.
	Season 4 / Episode 7: - Firestarter Carlos Nieto: [to Doc about Joy] And here you are snaking her right from under the nose of an injured man and she's half your age. My hat's off to you, bad boy.
