The Quote

Quote from Jake in the episode The Set Up

Jake: Well, you have every right to be. I know I messed up. I just never imagined myself as someone who would make a mistake like that, and then I just made it worse, you know?
Frank O'Sullivan: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Learning a lesson? You don't have any lessons to learn. You didn't do anything wrong.
Captain Holt: What do you want, O'Sullivan?
Frank O'Sullivan: This is Mel Jenkins... City attorney in charge of payoffs and bribes.
Mel Jenkins: Uh, not my title. I handle tort claims.
Frank O'Sullivan: Whatever. Mel and I just had ourselves a little chat over morning drinks.
Jake: More drinks?
Frank O'Sullivan: Relax, it was just a couple of breakfast beers. So the department is going to settle without mitting any wrongdoing, and because the facts of the case will remain unresolved, there will be no suspension for Marzipan or Peralta.
Captain Holt: How's that possible? Peralta arrested and harassed an innocent man.
Frank O'Sullivan: Come on, now, these are cops. They got to make split-second decisions in life-or-death situations, and they can't be expected to get that 100% correct every single time.
Captain Holt: This was not a life-or-death situation.
Frank O'Sullivan: Sure, but next time it might be. And how can this one be expected to do his job when he knows that any teeny-tiny lapse in judgment could end with you branding him a dirty cop and ruining his life?
