Janet: Oh my God, this is it. This is the end of the line.
Tommy: W-W-What?
Janet: Yeah, no. I've heard about this. Tommy, you have never not gotten it up for me.
Tommy: Honey... Honey, I just need to uh... what?
Janet: Tommy, I get wet, you get hard. You get hard, I get wet. That's the deal. That's been the deal for 20 something years. It may as well been our marriage vows.

Sean: Do you mind if I stay with you for a couple of days?
Mike: Why?
Sean: Well, you've been feelin' kind of bad, and y'know, you're all alone it that big house. I thought it might be kinda scary for 'ya. Thought maybe I'd come and hang out with 'ya, lift your spirits a little.
Mike: That's really cool, Sean. I forgot what a good friend you can be.
Sean: Yeah. Plus, I might be getting a divorce.

Franco: I'm just looking for a positive take on marriage, but apparentally I'm out of luck, huh?
Tommy: No, actually, you're not. I'm the perfect guy for you right now. I know, I know, I know. I mean, all these years I've been talking about Janet about how crazy she is and how illogical and nonsensical, and how she... never ever is gonna be satisfied with everything.
Franco: Yeah.
Tommy: It turns out I was right. Yeah, but it's not just her. It's pretty much all woman. That's what I-- Yeah, but the problem is, I was approching it the wrong way, yeah. I was thinking about you know, me and sex-- By the way, the sex thing is the key... sex really has nothing to do with marriage. Tits, ass, sex... just throw that out the window. The key stuff is... listening. You gotta be able to listen, and have long conversations that-- that you remember, um... hugging.
Franco: Hugging?
Tommy: Yeah, hugging's a big one. Buying furinature. And what's the other one? Oh, spooning. Yeah.
Franco: Okay. Now, let me get this straight: You, Tommy Gavin, one of the all-time, hall of fame type, pussy hounds in the history of the FDNY, in my opinion, you are tellin' me that I should forget about ass, forget about tits, forget about sex and focus on... uh... caring and sharing and listening and... hugging, and uh...
Tommy: Spooning.
Franco: Right. I mean, this what's making your marriage work?
Tommy: Yep. That and the fact that my dick doesn't apparentally work with any other women. (sighs) It really sucks. But, you know, if I were you, I'd pull the trigger as fast I can, pal. Get yourself hitched.
Edit
When Tommy (Denis Leary) gives the boys his speech about the Chief around the Firehouse Table he makes reference to the Chiefs heroic work when The Bronx was Burning. Franco (Daniel Sunjata) is staring as Reggie Jackson in the 8 part series The Bronx is Burning.
This also references the Worcester(MA)fire of 2002
