Danny Pino: Detective Nick Amaro

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : You know, Nick, you should really talk to somebody. You know, my shrink...

  Nick Amaro : I see my priest.

  Olivia Benson : Okay. I was just thinking that maybe doing something different...

  Nick Amaro : No, I... I'm glad that works for you, all right, but that's not me.

• Nick Amaro : [to Olivia]  We're short-staffed and I'm not good with the desk duty. I want my gun back.

  Olivia Benson : It's just a few weeks since the shooting, Nick, okay? You don't know what could startle you.

  Nick Amaro : And you think I'll shoot somebody else.

  Olivia Benson : Or you could hesitate. PTSD is real, Nick. It's a process. Don't rush it.

  Nick Amaro : Let me try one tour, all right? I'll know.

  Olivia Benson : It's not just you that I have to think about. This entire squad is my responsibility now.

• Bobby Masconi : So it's true what they say about SVU.

  Nick Amaro : Yeah, what's that?

  Bobby Masconi : Everyone's a victim to you guys.

  Olivia Benson : And it's true what they say about New Jersey prosecutors. There are no victims, there are no perpetrators. Only meal tickets, huh?

• Nick Amaro : Liv, look, no offense to Fin and Rollins, but you want a show of power, you need the whole team.

  Olivia Benson : Oh, not now, Nick.

  Nick Amaro : Come on. It's killing me sitting there.

  Olivia Benson : I know that. I told you that it's too soon.

  Nick Amaro : Too soon. For me or for you?

  Olivia Benson : Think I'm not ready to be commanding officer?

  Nick Amaro : Look, that's not what... Look, it came out...

  Olivia Benson : Wrong? Yeah, it did.

  Nick Amaro : Oh, come on. I'm the one who had your back with Cragen.

  Olivia Benson : I know that, Nick.

  Nick Amaro : Yeah, and what was it you said to him? "If you can't trust me, I'm done."

• Nick Amaro : [to Olivia]  Look, I'm sorry I went at you the other day. I didn't mean...

  Olivia Benson : I know.

  Nick Amaro : All the changes... we're good?

  Olivia Benson : We're good. Nick, something Cragen said to me, "Nothing changes except what has to."

• Nick Amaro : [about Clare]  Hey, what the hell happened to this girl?

  Warden Gert Marmer : She heard the word "No" for the first time.
