Go home. Talk to somebody you love. And don't make this job your whole life.

Benson

Suspect: You ever use your handcuffs in bed?
Rollins: You ever get laid without paying for it?

Never underestimate a man's capacity for self-delusion

Rollins

Barba: What I did was wrong, but I'd do it again. Not everything done in the dark is shameful.
Benson: So what happens next?
Barba: I have a meeting with the DA in five minutes. You know I love this job, I really do. But sometimes...
Benson: I know.

I'm not going to chase you. I will shoot your ass from right here.

Finn

This is a whole different world, Serpico. Not everyone has the stomach for it.

Benson to Amaro

Fin: I'm good. Bad guy went down, that's all that matters.
Olivia: Well if you ever feel like talking...
Fin: Talking's overrated.

Suspect: Get out of here!
Olivia: I've had a very bad day, sweetheart, and I'm not leaving without my Oreos. [searches pockets] I know I have some cash in here somewhere.
Suspect: It's on the house.
Olivia: That okay with you?
Store owner: Yes. I'm fine.
Olivia: That's a first.
Suspect: Now get out of here.
Olivia: Could I just get some aspirin?
Suspect: Okay, but then that's it. [Turns around to get aspirin. Turns back around and Olivia has pulled her gun on him]
Olivia: Drop the knife.
[Suspect runs. Olivia disarms him and knocks him over.]
Olivia: Looks like we're both having a bad day.

Benson: While we appreciate your concern that the drugs you're selling are killing people, no, you cannot go.
Dealer: Who's she?
Benson: I'm the bitch whose gonna slap your pretty face next time I hear you say 'ho'.

Benson: You know, last night, I put Noah to bed. I kissed him goodnight, turned out the light, and then I just stood there, watching him sleep, for two hours.
Rollins: I did the same thing.
[They hug]
Benson: Sometimes life just sucks. You know, Amanda, you should keep those flowers.
Rollins: Why?
Benson: Because sometimes you need a little pretty.

Rollins: At least we know what our vic was running from.
Cop: What do you mean?
Benson: First time at a brothel, fellas?

Little secret - I can be a little testy when I work with new people.
