He is sitting in the bullpen with an ice pack pressed to his face.

Hannigan better not have broken that nose or he'll be out directing traffic in front of the state house.

You know the expression opportunity knocks but once?

He is my but once.

The knocking i hear in my head is so loud i want to scream.

After years of sleeping with below-the-line personnel,

Teresa Lisbon has a shot at the top talent and all the perqs that go with it.

i have to work that angle.

Be dismissive. Annoyed at his presence.

A lot of eye-rolling.

Have to engineer a way to keep him around while i figure it out.

Cho can't know.

Rigsby can't know.
