We all love Fin's easy, laid back personality and sarcasm that is so sharp that it could cut through a brake line.

I have done things I'm not too proud of.
Fortunately, you don't have to have a great past to have a great future.
[after a suspect lies to him] There it is, man. That mildew-y smell.
Yeah, a real stench.
You have a supervisor on site we could talk to?
DCDesk clerk
He's home, asleep. Why? What's this about?
We are investigating a rape.
Which tends to keep our ADA up at night.
So unless you want to find out what he does when he's cranky, I highly suggest you tell us which room she visited.
IHIvan "Dutch" Hernandez
My mind defaults to the catastrophic, after being inside of it for so long.
We contacted your fellow COs. They gave us some statements that, uh, before you were promoted to captain, say you used to bend the rules.
Smuggling drugs, allowing rapes.
PRPete Ryan
Whoa, whoa. I told you, I never raped anybody.
Nah, you're just a pimp with a badge.
PRPete Ryan
Look, The Tombs was a zoo. You do whatever you can to maintain order. You look for the biggest guy in there, and they help you keep things in check.
Can we trust this CO?
The guy is a grade-A scumbag with more self-interest than most.
DDutch
I'm nervous and I can't breathe.
Don't die on me, dude.
Look, man, you're not half a hitman from Juarez anymore. You're a NYPD officer.
And why do you think I became a cop in the first place?
Penance. I get it.
I didn't kill anyone, Sarge.
We all make mistakes, OK? And even in the NYPD, there's room for redemption.
But you don't think Benson sees it like that?
You're not asking for my advice, but I'ma give it to you anyway. Show your loyalty to her. Not me, not the NYPD, and definitely not someone guilty of an unsolved double murder in Fort Worth.
I feel bad for you, Velasco.
Bad? Bad how?
Because you're 180 pounds of water in the shape of a man, and you take on the shape of anything that you're poured into. Duarte asked you to flip a banger, and you end up playing just as dirty as the guy that we're hunting. I mean, up until now, Velasco, you've been living a performance, not a life. That changes now. Understood?
What do you want me to do?
You owe a debt to the two people that were killed, even though they were drug dealers. It doesn't have to happen today, and it doesn't have to happen tomorrow. But you will find that friend, and you will bring him to justice.
[as Benson starts to walk away] Captain, wait. People change, you know?
Velasco, being a cop isn't some sort of penance. Putting your friend away for murder is.
So that's what it takes for me and you to be all right?
That's what it takes for me and you to be all right.
Muncy, work is about overcoming problems, problems you wouldn't have if you were unemployed. So how about we do our jobs before we lose them.
Let me get this straight. Cooper Davis, the 23-year-old nephew of the victim's deceased husband, is a DNA match for her rape kit?
The short answer is yes.
The long answer?
Not much longer.
JJenna
Love is messy. Sometimes it involves a commitment to act on behalf of a person who can't take care of themselves.
Yeah, commitment. Not sexual assault.
[after Jenna is sentenced to probation]
What just happened here? Was this justice?
This is one of those cases where you really don't know what to think.
I bet you've seen a lot of those.
I have. You will too. You know, this job... even when you do everything right, you don't always win. Get used to that.
