Fin quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Benson

[surprised to see Fin at his desk] Uh... I think you zigged when you were supposed to zag.

Fin

Nah, Liv, I got transferred back here.

Benson

And how did you pull that off? Do I even want to know?

Fin

No, you don't.

Benson

Okay. Well, then, I would like your DD5s reviewed and on my desk ASAP... Sergeant.

Fin

Yes, ma'am.

Fin

And why am I here and not at home playing video games with Jayden?

Well, one, Jayden's too young to be playing video games. Two, my rat-bastard ex? He had these tickets, and there was no way I was gonna let him have them. And three, I needed company.

Fin

[noticing one of the band members' interest in her] Company. Seems like you're doing fine right now.

I'm just enjoying the music.

Fin

Right. Oh, and my dog died, and my truck broke down, and I'm starting to feel like a third wheel.

Benson

Something did happen on that hunting trip.

Fin

White people and rifles. Don't ask me.

Benson

I'm a cop and a mother, Fin. That's all I am.

Fin

That's more than most.

Benson

And what happens if tomorrow I wake up and I can't do one of those things? Does that make me only half the person I was the night before?

Fin

Excuse me for being redundant, but it's still more than most.

Benson

Well, that's very nice of you to say, but the fact of the matter is, the truth is, I got winded. Chasing that Conway kid... I had to stop. And now an innocent woman who was riding her bike has a broken leg because of me.

Fin

And no matter how hard you sucked for air, your lungs couldn't take in enough breath.

Benson

Yeah.

Fin

And your legs felt like lead.

Benson

Right.

Fin

Welcome to the club. Liv, nobody expects you to be Wonder Woman.

Benson

I do.

Fin

Yeah, and I used to think I was Superman.

Benson

So what happened?

Fin

Life. Time. Whatcha gonna do?

Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know she was on something. When she started zoning out, I tried to help her. I took her to the hospital. That was the right thing to do, wasn't it?

You heard that, right, Sarge?

Fin

Yeah. So, you are the person who brought her to the hospital? Okay, well, you're free to go.

What, really?

Fin

[drops the act] No, asshole, sit down!

Fin

How'd the babysitting go?

Sonny

Played 19 games of checkers, and I learned to read Green Eggs and Ham in Spanish.

Fin

Who the hell stabs a kid?

Top of my head? The devil.

Fin, cards on the table: did he do it?

Fin

[hesitantly] She definitely believes he did something.

Sonny

Of course she does, but he's our friend, and he said it absolutely did not happen. No chance!

Okay, we all realize that this sucks...

Sonny

You know what sucks, Rollins? This is what sucks: A busload of nuns could swear Peter Stone was in Albuquerque at the time of this rape, but somewhere in the back of my mind, every time I see him, I'm gonna wonder, "Did he?" That's what sucks.

Benjamin

So, this "Bobbi" boy.

Fin

He was dressed as a girl.

Benjamin

Ah, a faygelah.

Fin

Uh, yeah, I don't think it's okay to use that word anymore.

Benjamin

Why not?

Fin

Because it hurts people.

Benjamin

It's just a word.

Fin

Yeah, but words can hurt more than a gun.

Benjamin

Hurt who?

Fin

The people they bother.

Benjamin

Then, everyone should say it, and no one will get hurt.

Sonny

[holding up Heath's handcuffs] Whatever happened to champagne and candles?

Fin

You don't really want me to answer that, do you?

What happens now?

Benson

We wait for the DNA to come back, and then we arrest you for 23 rapes.

I'm not Infinity.

Fin

Let's agree to disagree.

Sonny

This is wrong.

Don't go all Liv on us, all right? The woman shot her husband because he didn't like her dinner.

Fin

Life should be so easy.

Come on, not you, too.

Fin

I don't judge. Is it hot in here?

Sonny

Hell always is.

[gestures to Sonny] Yeah, he is. He's going full Liv.

Fin

Somebody has to.

Yeah, and that somebody interrogated Annabeth. I wonder who that could be?

Sonny

What if she doesn't show?

Fin

Look, man, we can only do our job.

Sonny

What, that's all this is to you?

Fin

Yeah. I get up in the morning and I get dressed. I come to the office. After that, I go home. At the end of the week, I get a check and the check clears. That's called a job.

Okay, you know what? It's not all on us, though, Carisi. We do our part, but the rest is up to a judge and jury.

Fin

The short and sweet is fine with me.

Sonny

Oh, please, give me a break. This from the guy who flew to Cuba on his own nickel to catch a fugitive rapist. [to Rollins] And you, with that Labott girl...

[severely] Enough.

Fin

Carisi, have a donut.

Sonny

Are you telling me that you never even think about this? I mean, the the responsibility? The... the power that we have? I mean, I could get up on that stand and I could lie. I could say, yeah, Annabeth told me she planned on killing Thomas for the past six months. Now, I do that, she is done. No question. Or I could say I don't recall. I don't recall to anything that Stone asks me, and maybe she gets to live a nice, peaceful, safe life in a Chelsea apartment.

Or door number three, you tell the truth.

Sonny

All I'm saying is It's a lot of power. And who the hell are we?

Look at this craftmanship - the stitching, the leather. Of course it's mine.

Fin

So you can tell us who bought them?

Not on your life.

Sonny

People pay thousands for these. You tellin' me you don't keep records?

Of course I keep records. They pay thousands because they expect privacy.

Fin

The person who bought that shoe may have killed a woman. I don't know anything about cobbler-client confidentiality.

It's like playing Whack-a-Mole these days. The Internet moved traditional street trade indoors, so now we go after the more obvious fronts.

Fin

Thai rub-tug joints?

[grins] Something you wanna confess, Sergeant?

I coulda taken any car - I had to take the one with the baby in the trunk.

Fin

Some guys are just unlucky.

You believe me?

Fin

No. Where'd you boost that car?

Parking lot from the mini mall in Jamaica. Look, I'm a low-life, scumbag car thief. I admit it.

Fin

A 2003 Saturn? You're not a good one.
