"Then you should have asked Frank for it, not me."

"Better start preparing. The Great Commander himself is presenting this Medal of Valor, and it's the highest honor for a cop. Like you said, you're not going to Washington alone; you represent the entire Los Angeles Police Department. Let me know if you need anything.

"Can I bring family members to the medal ceremony?"
"Of course. The honor is not just yours, but also your family's."
"Wow, that's gonna be quite an expense."
"Don't think about getting reimbursed by me, the department only covers your expenses."
"How many days should I stay in Washington?"
