Gil Grissom quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

[about Grissom talking to Brass] What was that about?

Grissom

Ah, we're in a bowling league together.

Warrick

Robert Harris. Does that name mean anything?

Grissom

Yeah, especially if you bet against me.

Brass

Who said the shooter was scared?

Grissom

Shot him in the back.

Brass

With his zipper down and his hands otherwise engaged.

Grissom

Yeah. We're looking for a coward.

Grissom

Let me guess. Decomp in an enclosed space?

Sara

Yeah.

Nick

Yeah, in a zip bag.

Grissom

Lemons.

Sara

What?

Grissom

Use lemons. (Grissom mimics squeezing lemons on his own head to demonstrate what he means)

Warrick

So were you a jock or a brain?

Grissom

I was a ghost.

Grissom

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Sara

A square of nine dots on paper and you can only draw four lines to connect them... without the pen ever leaving the paper.

Grissom

Right. Think outside the box.

Grissom'

Mr. Renteria, your apartment walls are covered in human blood. Are you aware of that?

Yeah.

Grissom

Do you have an explanation?

It's my blood.

Grissom

Your blood?

Brass

You got a stigmata?

No. I get nosebleeds.

Grissom

Two things that have nothing to do with each other.

Sara

Or everything.

Sara

You okay?

Grissom

Ninety-five.

Sara

Excuse me?

Grissom

No, no. I'm not mad at me. There's a body in there and that guy knows where it is!

Sara

So what's your pulse at now? You wanna... take a walk around the block? Get some air.

Grissom

No.

Grissom

I'm fine.

Sara

Okay. (touches his cheek, he looks surprised) Chalk... from plaster.

Grissom

(rubs his face): Oh.

Sara

Better go wash up.

Grissom

We both have jobs that begin after the crime.

Father Powell

After the sin.

Grissom

Some people would call that a career in futility.

Father Powell

Some people call it a vocation.

Father Powell

You don't believe?

Grissom

In religion. I believe in God, in science, in Sunday supper. I don't believe in rules that tell me how I should live.

Father Powell

Even if they're handed down by God?

Grissom

How many crusades were fought in the name of God? How many people died because of someone's religion?

Father Powell

Fanaticism, not religion.

Grissom

Semantics. They're still dead.

Father Powell

He needs spiritual guidance.

Grissom

Yeah, I imagine he does.

Father Powell

Ah. Then you'd have no problem with my talking to him.

Grissom

It's the 11th hour. I wouldn't expect anything less.

Father Powell

Eleventh hour?

Grissom

When the reality of their actions sets in, they usually turn to religion.

Father Powell

Can you think of a better time?

Grissom

Aaron Pratt is a high-functioning autistic man with superior right brain abilities.

Nick

Kind of sounds like you.

Grissom

I'm that obvious, huh?

Lady Heather

Only because you try not to be.
