Dad: you are gonna go back into that courtroom tomorrow and you’re gonna recuse [rɪ'kjʊz] yourself from this case, all right? Or drop it. Either way, you’re done.

Laurel: if you think I’m gonna abandon Emily Nocenti, then you don't know me all that well.

Dad: you don't know me well, young lady. I will lock you in a cell if that’s what it takes.

Laurel: well, I guess that’s what it’s gonna take then.

Dad: damn it, Laurel! I thought after what happened with Sarah, you’d stop being so reckless ['reklis].

Laurel: it's not about being reckless! It’s just the opposite. I’m trying to make this city safer, just like you.

Dad: sweetie, you are my only daughter, Laurel. You are all I have left to live for.

Laurel: but what you want from me isn't living. Having cops around, not being able to do my job.

Dad: your job is not going after people like the Triad or Somers.

Laurel: my job is to use the law to fight for what is right, just like you taught me.

Dad: well, that’s dirty, using me against me. You can’t do that.
