Quotes 

• Odafin Tutuola : [after a school shooting]  Where you goin'?

  Dominick Carisi : I think I know where Sam is.

  Odafin Tutuola : Tell ESU...

  Dominick Carisi : No! He makes one wrong move, they're gonna kill him, Fin.

  Odafin Tutuola : Maybe they should.

• Dominick Carisi : [to Sam]  Answer one question for me then, okay? Because all this baffles me. I mean, I can understand if you shot your dad, if you shot your brother...

  Sam Conway : It wasn't their fault!

  Dominick Carisi : It wasn't their fault, but it was the kids at school's fault?

  Sam Conway : No.

  Dominick Carisi : No? I guess there's only one person left, Sam. I guess this is all on you.

• Dominick Carisi : [When Carisi finds Sam with a gun on the baseball field]  Hey, Sam, it's Detective Carisi. Put your hands where I can see them!

  Sam Conway : Go away!

  Dominick Carisi : I can't do that!

  Sam Conway : Just let me die.

  Dominick Carisi : I can't do that either, Sam. Now come on, let's put that gun down.

  Sam Conway : No! Why should I be able to play baseball, huh? Or eat chocolate-chip waffles, or kiss a girl, or go to college. I don't deserve that! I deserve to die!

  Dominick Carisi : Okay, listen. I'm gonna put my gun down.

  [puts his gun down] 

  Dominick Carisi : All right, you say you deserve to die, maybe you do, but killing yourself is not justice for what you just did, Sam. That is taking the easy way out.

• Dominick Carisi : [to Sam]  Maybe you're right. Why don't you go ahead? Kill yourself, take responsibility for your actions. It's gonna destroy your dad, but, hell, it's gotta be easier than facing him. The state that he is in right now, Sam...

  Sam Conway : What? You talked to him?

  Dominick Carisi : Yeah, yeah, I talked to him, and he's worried about you, Sam. He's worried sick, but hey, go ahead. Kill yourself. Then he's gonna know how much you really hate him.

  Sam Conway : I don't... no, I don't hate him. I love him.

  Dominick Carisi : You love him? All right, well, then maybe you wanna tell him that yourself, huh? Maybe he wants to tell you that, Sam. Yeah, see, that's the thing about dads, no matter how bad you screw up, they still love you.
