Fin quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Sonny

Hey, anybody heard from Sarge? She's late.

Fin

She's dealin' with a lot right now.

Benson

[enters] Oh, good. You're all here. So, I just met with Barba. The judge threw out Johnny D's motion, so it looks like we'll be goin' to trial in a few days.

Well, you're not gonna testify, are you?

Benson

I have to. I was the first one on scene.

Sonny

Yeah. If Barba doesn't call you, the defense definitely will. They're gonna try and cast shade on you.

Fin

Still say we should've shot him.

[exasperatedly] Okay, Fin.

I know I wasn't what your last partner was for you...

Benson

No, you weren't. I grew more in 4 years with you than I did in the 12 years I was with him. That relationship, whatever it was, didn't allow for anything else. With you, with your support, I have a family.

Yes, you do.

Benson

You helped me grow.

I appreciate you saying that.

Benson

So whatever happens, Nick Amaro: friends for life.

Friends for life.

Fin

To family.

To family.

Fin

Manuela Azuna?

What you got?

Fin

We got your kids. Get up!

What do you mean? They're my kids! I'm their mother!

Fin

That's what you tell yourself?

On the advice of counsel, the Bakers won't be speaking to you anymore. They've gone back upstate.

Fin

That's OK, Pastor - we want you.

Oh?

In July, when Lane was on her mission trip, you were with her?

I was.

Fin

You spend time alone?

So that's where you're going with this.

Fin

Any reason why we shouldn't?

Respect. Basic human decency. That's not to say I don't understand where you're coming from. People like the Bakers and me, we scare you. The values that we espouse, our faith. You live in Gomorrah. When men of God come and preach love for the Scripture, it threatens you people to the core.

You think this is religious persecution?

Well, you said, it, not me. But I have seen it before. Every time I leave New York, I think, "Just keep going. Don't look back." But there is too much work to be done, too many souls to minister to.

Fin

Like you ministered to Lane?

OK, I've had enough of this.

Not quite. We're gonna need a DNA sample.

Fin

Since you didn't do the deed, you shouldn't have any problem giving us one.

Well, I believe you need a warrant for that.

Fin

[pulls out a warrant] Ask, and ye shall receive.

Fin

Well, Dodds, do you still think this was a waste of time?

No, I get it, it's just that I thought SVU would be taking rapists off the street, not out of churches.

Benson

For what it's worth, Dodds, most rapists don't hunt on the street. They hunt where they're trusted.

Benson

[about Gary] He lawyer up yet?

Fin

Not yet, but we don't need his statement.

Sonny

We know it's him. We got the DNA, Lily's blood, fibers from the moving blankets, ratchet straps in the van...

Yeah, but we don't know why.

Fin

There's never a good answer to that question.

Anybody use a heavy bag in the weight room? I brought my gloves.

Fin

You box?

Yeah. The Golden Gloves, some Pro Am. You?

Fin

[grins] I don't wanna hurt you.

Fin

Why keep all this?

Sonny

Because they're Catholics. They don't get rid of anything, they just bury it.

Fin

[about Alvin's work] Is this art or porn?

Depends on how much you pay for it.

Until today, Gary just... would make me go down on him, but I said I didn't want to do that anymore; I was back with my boyfriend. He got mad. He hit me. And then he raped me.

Benson

How many times did this happen?

I don't keep count. At least once a week since I got out. I'm on his route. I thought it was bad enough when I was inside.

Fin

Did he assault you in Rikers?

He never hurt me, but when he'd take me back from a visit, he'd make a stop in the chapel.

Fin

There are no cameras there.

He knows what he's doing. He'd say "You do me a favor, I do you one."

Benson

Meaning?

Meaning I get to see my kids. Don't get stripped searched, thrown into solitary. Don't get my teeth knocked in.

Benson

Did you report this?

In Rikers? The COs and the gangs run that place. Every female inmate there knows that. Every time he'd do me, he'd say "Cry all you want, but you're just a broke, black crack whore. Who's gonna believe you?".

Benson

I do, Charisse.

Benson

How are you?

Fin

I'm good. Bad guy went down, that's all that matters.

Benson

Well, if you ever feel like talking...

Fin

Talking's overrated.

[hits the malfunctioning printer in frustration] Come on!

Fin

You got to hit that thing harder, man.

You know what's overrated? Wireless....and putting lemon in water. I don't get that. [reads printed document] So Justin says that his mother was spending time with some guy who works in the Office of Admissions of Hudson University. I got 27 males in that department, 19 women.

Fin

Takes all those people to look at applications and say "yes" or "no"?

Fin

Just being real, lying to have sex is just part of the game. I mean, back in the day, I pretended to be Melle Mel's cousin one night. You trying to tell me that was rape?

Benson

Things have changed, Fin.

Fin

Not that much.

[about Wheeler] He thought if he was paying, he could do whatever he wanted.

Sonny

So he did things you didn't want?

Something like that.

Sonny

Was he rough?

Real rough. I mean, that was part of his thing. Hitting, slapping. The more you said no, the more he liked it.

Fin

Did you call the police?

Cops? Why?

Fin

Because he raped you!

No such thing in this line of work.

Fin

Hype's an up-and-coming rapper, hardcore at that.

So he's lying to protect his image.

Fin

Or his career. This style of rap, it's all about reputation, it's all about street cred. For him to tell his fans he's in love with a transgender woman... they'd laugh at him. His whole brand would go up in smoke.

Benson

It's 2016, for God's sake.

Fin

Not for people selling gangsta rap.

Or for some of my relatives.

Or mine, too.
