Quote from Captain Holt in the episode White Whale

Captain Holt: Well done, Olivia. Okay, tear that up, and now we just have to find your letter. What are the dimensions of your envelope?
Olivia Crawford: Zero by zero. It's too late for me. I withdrew from the race by e-mail.
Captain Holt: What?
Olivia Crawford: Yes, I used e-mail, because I'm not a million years old. Listen, the only reason why I even made it this far is because you stood up for me with the selection committee. I came here to make sure that at least one of us stays in the running. Someone has to beat John Kelly. So you better get that damn job. 'Cause I'm excited to have you as my commissioner.
Captain Holt: Thank you, Olivia. And I'll be excited for you to be commissioner after me.
Olivia Crawford: That'll probably be in a matter of months, once you die from old age. Go get 'em, Grandpa.

Quote from the episode Payback

Quote from the episode The Box

Jake: We have a few more questions for you, doctor.
Captain Holt: Doctor. Huh. It's funny when people call dentists "doctor".
Philip Davidson: We are doctors. We do four years of medical school.
Captain Holt: Yeah, but it's called "dental school".
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.

Quote from Jake

Jake: Where did I put them? Let's see. I had them in my left hand, and then I went to open the trunk, so I switched to my right hand. Oh, but then I had to sneeze, and I thought, "I don't want to sneeze on these keys." Dr. Seuss. Not really, but should be. "Do not sneeze on my keys. Do not wheeze on my keys. Do not sneeze on your knees on my keys, if you please."
Sergeant Jeffords: Jake, could you please move along on this thought journey?
Jake: Yeah, right, sorry. Okay, so then I put them on top of a plastic tub, which is locked inside the car. The keys are locked inside the car!
Sergeant Jeffords: Why?!

Quote from Gina

Gina: What are we looking for? Can you describe the envelope?
Captain Holt: It was a white number ten. It's the same kind you use to send fan mail to yourself.
Gina: I've never done that, but I do know what envelopes my fans use, so that's very helpful.

Quote from Captain Holt

Olivia Crawford: Half of the committee supports John Kelly, and the other half is divided between the two of us.
