Rescue Me- Final Episode/ Tommy's speech to the probies

[take12tom]

Is he drunk? his patch is on the wrong arm.

[MJB919]

A perfect way to end the series. Thank you Denis Leary for giving Rescue Me a great run. I still can't believe it's over and there won't be any new seasons or episodes. The show actually changed the way I think of life.

[TheLiquidIceman]

Yay for the hot fire fighter girl at 28

[jhoffman1983]

I love that the show ended just how it started. 

[frivalousMC]

Great end to a great series !

[TheMarlind]

Anyone know the name of the song at the end of the episode ?

[bigcountrysausage]

Who the hell disliked it??

[thebatman101069]

@bigcountrysausage in the words of Tommy Gavin "Some douchebag...."

[812deerslayer]

@bigcountrysausage probably someone who didn't have what it took to make it through probie school

[EdgarDampburn]

Bin Laden hit the dislike button right before the SEALs gave it to him in the ass

[TheAcorey]

The whole speech is my favorite speech.

[SmallvilleFann1983]

Im really gonna miss this show. The last scene was sooo depressing....

[pcgentile]

I should have added "People die...we're firefighters...we die a lot." was my favourite line in that speech.

[pcgentile]

I don't know how many times I have done it but I have watched this scene over and over again.

[MrKbair]

"This ain't a job, this ain't a occupation, it's a calling"

[MrRockjock13]

Great series. Great Moment. Bottom Line Great.

God Bless all those souls and famlies who lost on 911.

God Bless all of us who remain...with THEIR memory which haunts us.

My grandpa tells me all the time it's not a job it's a life style and it's what your meant to do he was part of the fdny for over 30 years- Jimmy Boyle

My uncle Michael boyles name is on that list.

[RescueMeSheila]

i think the show ended perfectly, and was not disappointed for once with a show's ending. I'm glad they all didn't die, they overcame their battles with life, and the effects of 9/11, and didn't get beat by what happened that day.

TV will never be exactly like reality, so some people out there need to get over that. But i believe this show was wonderful, and touched the hearts of many. Thank you Dennis and Peter and the entire cast. I love you sheila you crazy bitch lol

[Weaponofmassins]

And as it began, so it now ends. Thank you Mr. Tolan. Thank you Mr. Leary. thank you to everyone involved in Rescue Me for the best seven seasons of comedy and drama on TV in recent memory.

You will be missed, and watched on DVD for years to come.

Support you Local Fire Department, folks, and be safe.

Great show but the alcoholic thing got boring. He was fine but having every family member the same was poor.

Dennis Leary made a fantastic anti hero.

[nflannery59]

@Bruno19138 yeah, i did notice he wasnt whore banging anymore. Although he was more of an asshole in season 7, still had a good handle on his life. Being an asshole is part of an officer's job. Otherwise the guys will not respect him as a Lieutenant. I would only hope he learned from his mistake with that tilted car job where he about got himself and everyone else killed. And on a personal level, I hope he gets a relationship with his estranged daughter again.

R.I.P 343 and the police and EMT

[Harmon1ca]

Great show, I'll miss it, but man, Franco was such a prick in the last season.

[bobbyr10101]

@Harmon1ca Never been a fan of Franco

[amoergosum3]

@Harmon1ca

I guess the studio was pressured because of the 9/11 truth scenes in prior seasons so they told the writers to make Franco a prick in the last season. Did you notice that he was referred to as 'the crazy conspiracy guy' several times during the last season?...go figure.

[MattHunter2222]

@Harmon1ca I'm confused as to why he became Lieutenant and not Tommy

[Harmon1ca]

@MattHunter2222 I think it comes down to the fact that Franco wanted to be an Lt. and Tommy didn't. Tommy was all about fighting fires and the rush from that - can you imagine him doing paperwork? I think he saw that Lou got to fight fires as an Lt. but also saw the bureaucracy side of his job. Tommy wanted to fight fire and that's it, I think.

[Denali2010on30s]

love it!!!

[raimego]

god dennis leary is an amazing actor,but a shitty comedian

[emerald0sprey]

@raimego disagree



[ZerrickiShadow]

Denis Leary turns into Willem Dafoe?

[mvnasti]

hello hottie @ 30 second... the female, not the dudes lol

[ViciousMugen]

Brilliant, one of the best finales in TV history.

[mmbar51]

Great speech! I, too, am sorry to see this series end. Kudos to all the actors! Great job honoring the first responders of 9/11, the FDNY & all first responders in general!

[SoftballSlink253]

That aint a job, or an occupation. Only the bravest of the brave get the calling. 343 forever -3

[peacemkrmattarmour02]

Why are the new recruits in this from season 1 and 7 called probies?

[SPaoline4302]

@peacemkrmattarmour02  Probies is a short term for Probationary Firefighter.

[peacemkrmattarmour02]

@SPaoline4302 Thank you.

[isma1689]

this show rocks! will miss it!

[nflannery59]

1:09 why didnt Tommy just settle for becoming the FDNY probie drill instructor? has the voice and the temperament for it.

[Scope000]

@nflannery59 because it's not about being in the fdny, it's about the adrenaline rush you get when you go into a burning building. for him, it's either fire, or booze

[nflannery59]

@Scope000 i knew. I was just being sarcastic. This is why Tommy never went to be a Lieutenant, Captain, Or Chief. This is why he settles for being senior crew member. Although the booze, he has pretty much written that off. Well hopefully he has. This right here shows that Tommy finally was able to put 9/11 behind him and realize why he became a Firefighter.

[packersfanover18]

@nflannery59 He saves lives, its what he lives for. Not training "asshole" probies

[nflannery59]

@packersfanover18 My comment was sarcasm. I knew Tommy is a full fleged Firefighter.

[ShowUpSharp]

Such a Great Speech ! FDNY The GREATEST FIRE DEPT. IN THE WORLD !

[sxvrose]

Heard this the other day on a radio show, had to share it... even though it's a TV show, you can tell this came from Leary's heart. Quite moving *snif*
