• [after the trial, Amaro Sr. visits his son at the precinct] 

  Nick Amaro : You here to gloat?

  Nicolas Amaro : No. I meant what I said on that stand.

  Nick Amaro : No, you were just trying to get off.

  Nicolas Amaro : Well, I'm free now. And I'm here.

  Nick Amaro : [Amaro sits down at his desk accross from his father] 

  Nicolas Amaro : That was something. Finally, you stood up to your old man. You protected Gabriella, your mother and your sister all in one shot, that was good.

  Nick Amaro : Yeah and they hate me for it.

  Nicolas Amaro : Well, they'll get over it. Hell, I'm the big bad wolf, all right? I had to say what I said on that stand there because, I don't know. I'm too old. Too old for jail. I put you in a horrible position. Can we start fresh? I mean, even Gabriella, god bless her, even she's forgiven me. I mean, that's not gonna happen again.

  Nick Amaro : See, you're still lying. To me, to yourself.

  Nicolas Amaro : Nick, I get it, I get it, come on. You're angry, you stay angry as long as you want. Nicky, I'm here 'cause I'm your father, all right? You wanna yell, just don't take it out on Maria or Sonia. God forbid, little Zara, you know.

  Nick Amaro : [standing up from his desk]  I would, I would never. I would never lay a hand on her. I am not you, all right?

  Nicolas Amaro : [standing up from his chair]  Nicky, Nicky, Nicky, please, can we stop? Can we stop?

  Nick Amaro : Stop?

  Nicolas Amaro : Can we talk? Just talk. Just talk to me, you know? Just call me at 4:00 in the morning, tell me I ruined your life. Say whatever you gotta say Nicky. Cause this hatred you have for me, Nicky, come on, it sits in your chest, it's in your gut. It's not going away, you know. I lived this. I lived it. Do you get it? I'm not the one to fix it, you gotta fix it. I can't change the past. If you wanna talk, I wanna listen.

  Nicolas Amaro : [Amaro Sr. kisses his son on the cheek and walks away]  When you're ready.

  Nick Amaro : [Amaro stares off into the distance as a tear escapes him] 

• Nicolas Amaro : [to Amaro]  You want to know why you hate me? 'Cause I'm your flesh and blood, Nicky! Yeah, you're no different than me. In fact, you're Nicky Amaro, Jr. You hear me? Junior!

• Nicolas Amaro : [referring to Barba]  I don't take crumbs, especially from this gentleman in suspenders.
