Quote from Captain Holt in the episode NutriBoom

Amy: Well, I'm not sure there's anything left to try. No matter what I did, he just kept interrupting me with all his own ideas.
Captain Holt: Were they good ideas?
Amy: I don't know. I didn't listen to them. Damn. Did you just solve it that easily?
Captain Holt: Yes, I did. You see, managing Amy is not a chore, it's a pleasure. Because an Amy is a tool.
Amy: I'm a tool?
Captain Holt: Yes, you're a massive tool. You're useful and valuable. Sure, an Amy can be intimidating sometimes because they have such strong ideas. But you should always listen to an Amy because they will only make you better. At least, that's my experience.
Amy: Thank you, sir.

Philip Davidson: But we learn about the entire body.
Captain Holt: But if you had cancer, you wouldn't call a dentist.
Philip Davidson: You know it's actually harder to get into dental school than medical school.
Captain Holt: Well, because there are fewer dental schools. Because most people want to become actual doctors.
Philip Davidson: That's ridiculous. It's not like we're college professors calling ourselves "doctors".
Captain Holt: Not the same thing, my friend.
Philip Davidson: Well, sure it is. When someone has a heart attack on a plane, do they yell out, "Yo, does anybody here have an Art History PhD?"
Captain Holt: A PhD is a doctorate. It's literally describing a doctor.
Jake: Maybe let's refocus.
Captain Holt: No! The problem here is that medical practitioners have co-opted the word "doctor".
Jake: Okay, Captain-
Captain Holt: I know we live in a world where anything can mean anything, and nobody even cares about etymolo-

Captain Holt: Apparently that's a trigger for me.
Jake: Yeah, apparently.
