Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (TV Series)

Breakwater (2022)

James Carpinello: Paul Greco

Quotes 

• Paul Greco : The ocean is a wilderness and men like me are the breakwater, the only single barrier between a fun day at the beach and some out-of-shape stupid person becoming a part of the food chain.

• Paul Greco : I'm understaffed. My budget is cut and every year, it gets worse. I got drunks on the beach, people letting their kids wander around, people with no business getting in the water. And you know what happens? Then we need to get in. We need to risk our lives.

  ADA Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr. : Yeah, but that is your job, isn't it?

  Paul Greco : Oh, look at you. Your suit and tie. You have no idea what it's like to have people's lives in your hands, do you?

• Paul Greco : I'm not the monster you think I am. I've devoted my entire career to saving lives, not destroying them.

  Captain Olivia Benson : You know, men like you become so good at lying, they even start to believe the ones they tell themselves.
