Quotes 

• Nick Amaro : [to Fin]  Can I ask you something? What was the deal with Benson's partner? I heard some things.

  Odafin Tutuola : Stabler? He was a good cop. Him and Benson were together for 12 years. That's a decade longer than my marriage.

• Donald Cragen : Folks, this is Detective Second Grade Nick Amaro. He just transferred in.

  Amanda Rollins : Second Grader already, huh? You must have caught some big fish.

  Nick Amaro : Nah, just kissed a lot of ass.

  Donald Cragen : Detective Amaro is being modest. Two years under in Narcotics, Warrants. He took down the MS-13 case.

  Olivia Benson : Well, this is a whole different world, Serpico. Not everybody has the stomach for it.

• Nick Amaro : I gotta call my wife.

  Odafin Tutuola : Short leash?

  Nick Amaro : Not exactly. She's in Iraq. It's a seven-hour difference.

  Olivia Benson : Iraq?

  Nick Amaro : She's in propaganda, you know, just trying to win hearts and minds. She's got eight months to go. If anyone could do it, it's her.

• Olivia Benson : [to Dr. Warner after Stevie Harris' death]  Circumstances undetermined? All that heroin in his blood? The guy's not exactly an amateur. Somebody gave him a hot shot.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Or he gave it to himself. What's undetermined, Detective is whether it's a homicide or a suicide. It's a cuppi: pending police investigation.

  Olivia Benson : Come on, Melinda.

  Nick Amaro : See, that's why the M.E.'s office is separate from the police. So they don't jump to our conclusions.

  Dr. Melinda Warner : Don't play me, Amaro.

  Nick Amaro : Never.
