Jesse Spencer: Matthew Casey

Quotes 

• Matthew Casey : Hey. Sorry that went so late. Looks like we've got the votes to push the youth center through. It's actually gonna happen.

  Gabriela Dawson : That's fantastic.

  Matthew Casey : Yeah, neighborhood council is throwing a party to celebrate. It's on, uh, Saturday. I said we'd both be there. Hope that's okay.

  Gabriela Dawson : Yeah, absolutely.

  Matthew Casey : How's the game?

  Gabriela Dawson : Uh, we're down by one, I think. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention.

  Matthew Casey : You weren't paying attention to your Blackhawks? Cheers.

  Gabriela Dawson : I have kind of a crazy idea.

  Matthew Casey : Yeah?

  Gabriela Dawson : Yeah, um... Ooh.

  Matthew Casey : What?

  Gabriela Dawson : What would you think... about us becoming foster parents to Louie? I can't get him out of my head, Matt. The way he jumped into my arms and held on with all his might. I have a feeling this was meant to be. That everything that happened this year, with us... maybe it all led us here, to this little boy. You know?

  Matthew Casey : I understand that. I mean, he seemed like a-a great kid.

  Gabriela Dawson : Yeah. And he's been through so much already. That boy deserves a real family.

  Matthew Casey : Yeah, he does. Listen... Gabby, a few weeks ago, you said, "Now's not the time for us to get married." I've got my hands full with this alderman work, both our schedules are crazy, and as much as I didn't want to hear it, you were right. We barely have time for each other. How are we gonna have time for a child? I want to have a family with you. But rushing into it now with everything else going on... It wouldn't be fair to Louie. Or to us.

  Gabriela Dawson : Yeah. Yeah, I told you it was a crazy idea, right? I've been so distracted these last couple days. I left a total mess at my apartment.

  Matthew Casey : Gabby...

  Gabriela Dawson : I promised Brett I'd come by tonight, get the place in order. I'll call you in the morning.

  Matthew Casey : Wait. I'll get my stuff, come with you.

  Gabriela Dawson : No, I'm good. I'm good. Thanks, though. Night.
