Molly Price: Faith Yokas

Quotes 

• Maurice Boscorelli : [to Faith]  You know, I got down there right when the second tower was being hit...

  Faith Yokas : What?

  Maurice Boscorelli : And they were already jumping from the North Tower. People falling, you know? And I'm watching them, all the way down. There was nothing that I could do.

  Faith Yokas : There was nothing that any of us could do.

  Maurice Boscorelli : They were just falling. But so hard and so fast and then, it seemed like it took forever, 10 seconds, 15, I don't really know. I saw a couple people holding hands. Faith, I saw women holding their dresses down. And that sound, that thump. And I'm just standing there. I'm just standing there doing nothing. I pointed a few people this way and that way, but... I was frozen. It was like I was frozen. I was numb. I couldn't believe it. And then, and then there was this rumble. It was like nothing I ever heard before. This huge wave of sound. So I ran. I ran away, Faith.

  Faith Yokas : Bosco, the tower was coming down.

  Maurice Boscorelli : I just... I ran. I kept running. I remember I just kept running. I kept running. And that, that, that, that cloud came. And I couldn't see a thing. I could see nothing. It was just pitch black, but I was still running.

  [starts crying] 

  Maurice Boscorelli : I couldn't breathe. I thought that was it. I must have run right into a building 'cause that's when I finally stopped running.

  Faith Yokas : Everybody ran.

  Maurice Boscorelli : I didn't go back.

  Faith Yokas : Yes, you did.

  Maurice Boscorelli : I sat on the street and I just, I couldn't... I couldn't. I could not go back.

  Faith Yokas : Bosco, I saw you there.

  Maurice Boscorelli : I sat there. I was... I was afraid.

  Faith Yokas : Bosco, I saw you there. You were helping people.

  Maurice Boscorelli : No, later, you saw me later 'cause I sat there, and it must have been for like... it just must've been for an hour. I was there sitting for an hour. I don't know how long. I could have been there for two hours.

  Faith Yokas : Bosco, you were probably in shock.

  Maurice Boscorelli : [starts crying harder]  Faith, I ran. God help me, I ran...

  Faith Yokas : [softly]  Bosco...

  [hugs him and soothes him] 

  Faith Yokas : It's okay, it's okay. Bosco, it's okay.

• John Sullivan : [to Faith]  Don't you have a test to take?

  Faith Yokas : What's going on?

  John Sullivan : Well, your informant paid off. The Feds just took down our bank robber who Boscorelli promptly punched in the face.

  Faith Yokas : What?

  John Sullivan : Yeah. In front of everybody.

  Faith Yokas : Well, what the hell was he doing at a stakeout anyway?

  John Sullivan : He wasn't on a stakeout. We weren't supposed to be there. He couldn't help himself. He's not right in the head, Faith. There's something really wrong with him. He'll be lucky to get off with a suspension. And forget about ESU.

  Faith Yokas : Do you think Swersky would let me talk to him for a minute if I asked him?

  John Sullivan : No. Faith, no. Go take your test.

• Fred Yokas : [to Faith]  You can just stand there and tell me that Bosco distracted you from nailing this test? Is that what happened?

  Faith Yokas : I don't know. Maybe I just choked.

  Fred Yokas : That's crap. You don't choke. You could've taken this test hanging by your ankles and you would've passed it.

  Faith Yokas : Fred, you know what, this is my career...

  Fred Yokas : No, it's not! It's our life! It's about better life for yourself, for your kids and for me. You let Bosco get in the way of that.

  Faith Yokas : No, Bosco had nothing to do with this. It was me.

  Fred Yokas : Yeah, yeah, defend him as usual.
