Ryan: "Impressive stack of forms on your desk. You having a paper drive?" she teases, looking over at Matt who enters the common room

Matt: "That's the paperwork I get to deal with thanks to these." he sighs, motioning to his bugles, stealing a piece of bacon off her plate

Mouch: "I was thinking of giving up bacon for health reasons, but Trudy has two rules for men. No cats, and no vegetarians."

Stella: "I'd add sandals to that list."

Arya: "And momma's boys. It's okay if you love your parents but it needs to stop at a certain limit."

Otis: "If we put together a list like that for women, you would murder us."

Brett: "That's not true. Try it." she hums, turning to face Otis along with Ryan, Arya, Dawson and Stella

Cruz: "Do not." he warns

Arya: "No, please. I'm interested." she shrugs, raising a brow as Otis turns to face them, an uncomfortable look coming over his face

Otis: "Um...maybe just..."

Dawson: "Come on, Otis. What's on the list?"

Otis: "Um, no...racists?" he shrugs as Cruz, Hermann and Capp snicker into their mugs

Stella: "Is that a question? You're not sure?"

Hermann: "Never had a chance."

Brett: "Hey." she greets Hope who enters the room, sorting through a stack of envelopes, the guy's cheering in excitement

Hope: "What a nice welcome."

Brett: "Yeah, nothing cheers up this crowd like paychecks."

Hope: "Sylvie Brett, there you go."

Brett: "Thank you."

Hope: "Matthew Casey."

Matt: "Yep."

Ryan: "Hmm. First Captain's paycheck."

Kelly: "Must be nice." he teases entering the room

Matt: "Won't get to enjoy it long. Especially with this one." he hums, pointing towards Ryan who tosses a piece of bacon at his face

Hope: "Christopher Hermann. There you go, Kelly" she smirks, looking him up and down "Happy payday, everyone."

All: "Thank you."

Arya: "Uh...forgot someone." she calls out, pointing to herself

Hope: "Oh, there wasn't a check in the package for you, so I figured you must have direct deposit."

Arya: "Nope, I get a check every week, just like everyone else. Or at least, I did until today."

Theo: "Oh, lord, don't mess with her money." he snickers

Hope: "I'm not sure what happened, but I'll call over to payroll right now. I'm really sorry about that." she assures, exiting the room as Arya grits her teeth in annoyance

Brett: "Don't worry. She'll find it."

Arya: "Sure she will." she huffs, shaking her head

PA: Truck 81, Ambulance 61. Person injured...

Officer: "You guys better hurry."

Matt: "Where's the victim?"

Officer: "Right this way with an attempted breakin. Didn't work out for the kid."
