Detective Nick Amaro
- Nick Amaro: [to Fin] Can I ask you something? What was the deal with Benson's partner? I heard some things.
- Odafin Tutuola: Stabler? He was a good cop. Him and Benson were together for 12 years. That's a decade longer than my marriage.
- Donald Cragen: Folks, this is Detective Second Grade Nick Amaro. He just transferred in.
- Amanda Rollins: Second Grader already, huh? You must have caught some big fish.
- Nick Amaro: Nah, just kissed a lot of ass.
- Donald Cragen: Detective Amaro is being modest. Two years under in Narcotics, Warrants. He took down the MS-13 case.
- Olivia Benson: Well, this is a whole different world, Serpico. Not everybody has the stomach for it.
- Nick Amaro: I gotta call my wife.
- Odafin Tutuola: Short leash?
- Nick Amaro: Not exactly. She's in Iraq. It's a seven-hour difference.
- Olivia Benson: Iraq?
- Nick Amaro: She's in propaganda, you know, just trying to win hearts and minds. She's got eight months to go. If anyone could do it, it's her.
- Olivia Benson: [to Dr. Warner after Stevie Harris' death] Circumstances undetermined? All that heroin in his blood? The guy's not exactly an amateur. Somebody gave him a hot shot.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: Or he gave it to himself. What's undetermined, Detective is whether it's a homicide or a suicide. It's a cuppi: pending police investigation.
- Olivia Benson: Come on, Melinda.
- Nick Amaro: See, that's why the M.E.'s office is separate from the police. So they don't jump to our conclusions.
- Dr. Melinda Warner: Don't play me, Amaro.
- Nick Amaro: Never.
