Quotes
-
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : [to Amaro] I am not cutting Munoz a break just because he's my friend.
Nick Amaro : No, I get that. It's not about friendship. It's about you. You're afraid to go after Munoz because while he stayed in the hood, in el barrio and played man of the people, you went off to Harvard and pretended you were one of the gringuitos.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : I know where I come from.
Nick Amaro : Yeah, so does Munoz and he's playing you, mi socio, and making you feel like a sellout. Un arrepentido.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Thank you so much for the bodega psychoanalysis, detective. Compay? No te equivoque conmigo.

Detective Olivia Benson : You okay?
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : It's politics. No danger of a traffic jam on the high road.
Detective Olivia Benson : Still, he was your friend.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : So was Yelina. She thinks this was personal, not professional.
Detective Olivia Benson : You had a job to do. You did it. That's all this was.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Was it?

Reverend Curtis Scott : Mr. Barba, a word.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Reverend.
Reverend Curtis Scott : Your office is destroying the reputation of a man who can turn this city around.
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : Reverend, I am not directly involved with this case, but trust me when I say that this was not an easy decision. Alex Munoz is my oldest friend.
Reverend Curtis Scott : Never mind all that. This city's poor have been ignored for the last 20 years. This is a candidate who can actually save our schools, rebuild our neighborhoods and you choose to sacrifice all of that because of a zipper problem?
A.D.A. Rafael Barba : I'm sorry. It's out of my hands now.
