- Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: [to Kat] How many cops does it take to change a light bulb? None. First they bust the bulb for being broke, then they bust the room for being black.
- Detective Katriona 'Kat' Tamin: They told me I died in the ambulance. Death is overrated, if you ask me. I mean, wasn't I supposed to see some white light or feel some eternal serenity or peace?
- Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: Wasn't your time.
- Detective Katriona 'Kat' Tamin: Maybe just a little floating over my body, you know, just a taste of the afterlife? That would be nice, right? You know what was weird? When I came out of the anesthesia, my mind was racing.
- Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: About what?
- Detective Katriona 'Kat' Tamin: I was thinking about Carisi.
- Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: Carisi?
- [smiles]
- Detective Katriona 'Kat' Tamin: Not like that. Come on. Something he said. I remember when I asked him if he ever missed being a cop or had any regrets, he didn't. Said he was where he was supposed to be now. He knew it.
- Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: So what? You want to be a DA now?
- Detective Katriona 'Kat' Tamin: No. It's just... I don't know. Am I where I'm supposed to be?
- Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: From what I've seen, you're cut for it.
- Detective Katriona 'Kat' Tamin: I know that. It's... with SVU, it's just like we're always there too late. By the time we get there, the victim is already traumatized, and then they just get traumatized more. It's like, what are we doing, you know?
- Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: For me, it's always been about getting the bad guys off the street.
- Detective Katriona 'Kat' Tamin: I hear that. It's just... I mean, half the time, they plead out. Or, if they're rich, they just get off. It's like, there's gotta be a way to... To be more proactive, you know?
- Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola: Kat, listen, you just came out of surgery, all right? So it's no time for you to be making any big decisions. Just lay back and get some good rest, okay?
