John Munch : [to Fin] Your Jew? Your Jew? What if I called you my boy?
Fin Tutuola : I'll be your boy, John!

Fin Tutuola : Look, we got his cell phone number. We got him.

Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : [about Lance Kanick] He ain't giving it up.
Det. John Munch : I know.
Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : We can get it out of him.
Det. John Munch : We don't do that here.
Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : I heard the speech and I'll listen to it, but not today. Kanick won't deal, so don't ask me to do that.
Det. John Munch : Cabot's right. Kanick shouldn't get out.
Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : So some little girl goes down the tubes? Look, my way, we can get both jobs done.
Det. John Munch : I don't do that anymore. I'm old and it's tiring.
Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : I'll do the heavy lifting.
Det. John Munch : It's not the heavy lifting. Everything you do comes back at you, blows to the soul. It's the metaphysical heavy lifting I can't do anymore.
Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : I can work this one alone.
Det. John Munch : I don't wanna know about it.

Donald Cragen : This is a cop's child. What else matters? The D.A.'s office has made worse deals. We see murderers out on the street in less time for reasons with a lot less validity every day. We have to stomach that every day. It's not just the people in this room, Alex. Everybody in blue knows about the Foster case. This is in the family.
A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : Kanick will murder again.
Det. Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : So you're murdering now. How's that supposed to settle with the grunts?
A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : What are you saying?
Det. John Munch : What he's saying is, it's harder to do our jobs if we've lost faith in the D.A.'s office.
A.D.A. Alexandra Cabot : Are you threatening me?
Det. John Munch : It's a blanket statement.
-
Det. John Munch : Fin's good at that: fear.
