The Quote

Quote from Rosa in the episode The Good Ones

Rosa: How many more of these are we gonna do till you realize it's pointless?
Jake: Well, I don't think it's pointless. That's what I've been trying to prove to you.
Rosa: Wait, I thought you said you weren't trying to prove a point.
Jake: Well, yeah, but I mean, I kind of had to say that so you'd let me work with you and I could make my point.
Rosa: See, this is why we don't hang out anymore, because you're always so defensive.
Jake: Well, it's kind of hard not to be when you think I'm a bad person now.
Rosa: I never said that.
Jake: You didn't have to. Rosa, we came up together. We went to the academy together. We've had the exact same career. All we ever wanted was to be detectives. And yes, we've always known there were problems, but we would solve them together from the inside. So when you quit, yeah, it made me feel like you thought I was wrong for staying.
Rosa: Jake, my choice has nothing to do with you. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I gave up my career, my friends, my whole life, but I did it because I couldn't ignore what I was a part of anymore, couldn't ignore what the police are doing in my community to people who look like me.
Jake: I know, but not all of them, not me.
Rosa: This isn't about you. And this case where a Black woman was assaulted by the police has nothing to do with you either. So if you're not here to help, if you're just here to prove a point, then, man, I don't think we should work together anymore. And I definitely don't think we're friends.
