"I remember coming out here when I was fresh out of the academy." She said nothing as she slid up next to him, leaning on the iron bars that looked out onto the river. "I thought I was going to be the best cop ever, I Donald Flack was going to clean up New York City, can you believe that?"
Charlie looped her arm through his as she leant her head on his shoulder, "You do know you make a difference right?"
He shook his head, "Some days it doesn't feel like it, and they're happening more often than not."
"Whether you know it Don, one little action of yours might mean the world to someone else."
"I just feel hopeless." He sighed, as the couple started to walk, "All this shit with St. Claire, I feel like I'm getting nowhere apart from ruining my career and any future opportunities."
"Not many people would have the courage to do what you did Don. You stood up to someone because you believed in yourself and believed in what you were doing. It takes an awful amount of courage,"
"I dunno Charles."
"If everything happened for people when they wanted it to what would be the point in fighting for what we believe in?"
"I'm just not as good at the politics as everyone thinks I am."
