Quote from Captain Holt in the episode USPIS

Captain Holt: Santiago, you're putting yourself under too much pressure. And that stress is making it even harder for you to quit. Some things might come easier to you if you stop being such a perfectionist. A concept you should become familiar with.
Amy: "Familiar with?" Mmm, a dangling preposition?
Captain Holt: I'm setting an example. I made an error and I'm not going to correct it. I'm just gonna let it dangle Dangle Dangle.
Amy: Thank you, Captain.
