Amaro quotes from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

I didn't want to announce this until Nick's situation got resolved, but it's done, and so am I. I'm leavin'.

What? Now?!

Hey, is this part of the deal? Was this their pound of flesh? Because if it is...

No, no, no. No. This is my call.

Fin

Where you gonna go, Cap'n?

Around the world, actually. Eileen has 2 tickets for a 6-month cruise, and I have enough accrued leave to take me through my mandatory retirement date. If I stay, I make less than if I leave.

Cap, cruise. Okay. If anyone's earned it.

I'm proud of my time here. And I'm honored and grateful to have worked with the finest unit of detectives I've ever known. Nick, you're gonna get through all this. You're too good a cop and too good a man not to. Amanda, I was never sorry that I brought you up from Atlanta. I would do it again. And, Fin, what can I say? For a guy who never should've been an SVU detective, you're okay.

Fin

Right back at you, Captain. Nobody could ever take your place.

Well, for the meantime, Detective Benson will. She's ready. Now, it's not easy going from player to coach, so don't bust her chops. [to Benson] But if they do, you bust 'em right back.

So it's true what they say about SVU.

Yeah, what's that?

Everyone's a victim to you guys.

Benson

And it's true what they say about New Jersey prosecutors. There are no victims, there are no prosecutors, only meal tickets.

Benson

If Frank is a pedophile, at least he's out of their lives.

And if he's telling the truth, she gets to grow up with a full-blown narcissist who convinced her to lie.

Benson

Either way, God help that child.

What are you here for? A favor? You're goin' down. 'Cause I'm tellin' anyone who'll listen you took a bribe.

UC's call that evidence. I'm not as dirty as I seem, Joaquin. I'm here with bad news. Everyone's cuttin' deals. They're linin' up to turn on Angel.

What about me?

I'm afraid it's too late. They don't need you. You're lookin' at life without parole.

[vainly attempts to punch Amaro] This ain't over, Amaro!

I know you don't trust Tensley, but seriously, that guy...

I hear you. You're asking me to let it go, I've let it go

Sonny

[walking into the squad room] There's no underage drinking, drugs, who knows... Sorry, am I interrupting?

No, no, we were just leaving.

Sonny

Oh. It, uh.. just looked like something else.

After Eric Decker and the stop and frisk lawsuits, 1PP has been very clear: don't make a scene.

Then why are you opening your mouth right now?

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.
