Kelli Giddish: Detective Amanda Rollins

Quotes 

• Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : [to Rollins]  Listen, I learned two things in my 15 years here at SVU. One: you can't take this job home to you.

  Amanda Rollins : Working on that.

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Two: you can't take anyone from this job home with you.

• Nick Amaro : You know you don't want naked pictures of yourself on the Internet, don't take naked pictures of yourself.

  Amanda Rollins : Right, and if you don't want to get assaulted, don't wear a short skirt?

• Olivia Benson : [about A.J. Martin]  Fin, you saw it. He's controlling. His little son was terrified of him.

  Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : I was terrified of my mother. When I used to act a fool, she'd beat my ass.

  Amanda Rollins : Yeah, I was raised the same way. In the South, you have to pick out your own switch.

  Olivia Benson : So now we're making cultural exemptions?

  Nick Amaro : You know, my father, he went at me with his fists. It taught me you never lay a hand on a child or a woman.

• Amanda Rollins : [after Amaro has gotten into an argument with his ex-wife over the phone]  Hey, you all right? What's going on?

  Nick Amaro : Nothing.

  Amanda Rollins : Okay, take a breath.

  Nick Amaro : How about you don't tell me what to do?

• Amanda Rollins : All I know is that you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.
