Quotes 

• Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : You were right about Earl. Couldn't shoot himself in the foot if he had a shotgun taped to his ankle.

• Mrs. Chang : Twenty people in my cell. The toilet is disgusting.

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Hope you enjoyed it. That's five stars compared to where you're going.

• Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : [to Amaro]  We were making our last buy from Escobar. Somebody must've ratted me out. Next thing I know, I got a .38 to the back of my head. Luis jumped in, the gun went off. He got hit twice in the hip and the knee. I left Narcotics that day.

  Detective Nick Amaro : That wasn't your fault.

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Yeah, just like it wasn't my fault with Rollins. Do yourself a favor, Nick. Walk behind me.

• Captain Donald Cragen : [about Gloria]  Her mother just died. She was having problems with the insurance.

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Come on, everybody has problems with the insurance. I'm sick that it's him, but we got our man.

  Amanda Rollins : There's something else. The motives, it just...

  Olivia Benson : Well, he's angry. You heard him.

  Detective Nick Amaro : Yeah, at Fin, at Escobar, the lieutenant...

  Amanda Rollins : Then how come none of them are the ones that got hit? The targets are always next of kin, partners. You know, maybe she is trying to make the people she's angry at hurt the way she got hurt when her father got shot.

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Not Gloria. She's a sweet kid.

  Captain Donald Cragen : Oh, boy. Did you know she was kicked out of the academy on psychological two months ago?

• Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Your father's a good man, Gloria. If it wasn't for him, I would've never saw my son grow up.

  Gloria Montero : Because of you and the NYPD, my father lost everything: this house, my mother...

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : What happened to your family, I didn't know. I should have. I should have stayed in touch.

  Gloria Montero : You didn't call, you didn't care. You didn't even know my mother was sick.

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : I didn't wanna talk to your father, okay? You're right, I was guilty. I didn't wanna think that what happened to him could've been me. Gloria, I can't undo what happened. I can't make it better.

• Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Amanda, you shouldn't even be here.

  Amanda Rollins : Once I heard you went inside, I had to come. You were there for me when...

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : When you took the bullet for me?

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, you'd do the same. It's what partners do.

• Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Where were you at ten in the morning?

  Earl Talley : Come on, man! Who knows stuff like that?
