Catherine Willows quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Catherine

So much for the race.

Grissom

At least we didn't come last.

Catherine

What are you taking a leak? The follow car is supposed to stay with the runner! We've been training for months, man. 20 C.S.I.s, 120 miles.

Grissom

Don't blame me. Blame him. (shines his flashlight on a corpse)

Catherine

How many cops are in town this weekend?

Grissom

Twenty thousand. And the road is closed to civilians.

Catherine

Spring break with a badge. Well, this ought to be fun. Every suspect's in law enforcement.

If I'm going to kill a guy, I'm not going to do it with twenty thousand cops around.

Catherine

Well ... sounds like you've been giving it some serious thought.

Well, every cop does. My way? A sniper shot ... two hundred meters out. Coleman'd never even hear the "am" in "blam."

Brass

Will Warshall, this is Catherine Willows, from the Crime Lab.

There's something very wrong in the world if a woman like you is only handling test tubes.

Catherine

If you think that's all I handle, you're not as smart as you think.

Sam Braun

Some people in this town think I'm a murderer.

Catherine

Some people in this town know you're a murderer.

Grissom

That's not what the evidence says.

Catherine

Well, maybe the evidence is wrong.

Grissom

You can be wrong, I can be wrong, but the evidence is just the evidence.

Greg

Grissom, I'd like to introduce you to Chandra Moore.

Chandra

Pleased to meet you sir, I'm a fan.

Grissom

Wow, you're hot.

Chandra

I'm... I'm sorry.

Grissom

You're eminating heat. This is a new infared camera. It's good for looking at evidence in the dark. (to Greg) Did you get her blood yet?

Chandra

My...why?

Grissom

So many reasons.

Catherine

(walking towards Grissom angry) Grissom? You can't possibly call that thing my office it's a cupboard.

Grissom

Catherine, I'd like you to meet Chandra Moore. She'll be doing DNA when Greg's in the field.

Catherine

Hello, I'm Catherine. (she turns right back to Grissom without giving Chandra a chance to introduce herself) We need to talk.

Grissom

Well, not now... too much work.

Al Robbins

The only other thing I found, was a swollen ankle.

Catherine Willows

Well, ever try shaking your ass in four-inch heels? (Robbins looks at her) Don't answer that.

Warrick

Alright then, lets head upstream.

Catherine

I knew you were going to say that.

Catherine

Did I ever tell you the city paid me a dollar a square foot to rip out my lawn and replace it with rocks? Because we were in a drought.

Warrick

Are you kiddin' me?

Catherine

No.

Warrick

This city was not made for rain.

Grissom

Well, at least we know where he came from. (shines his flashlight down the sewer)

Catherine

Aren't we going to at least draw straws?

Grissom

No.

Sons of bitches! I'm gonna sue your ass into the ground. I hope you know that. Yeah. I'm gonna own you. I'm gonna own this whole place. In fact, maybe that's where I'll live. I'm just gonna move in here.

Catherine

Let me guess, he lawyered up?

Brass

Yeah. He stopped talking right after I told him we blew up his house.

Catherine

What did you just say? Okay, no phone, no friends, no nothing.

For how long?

Catherine

A month.

Whatever.

Catherine

Hey, you want to make it two?

Dad always said you were a drama queen.

Catherine

Well, what do you expect, Lindsey, since he was always high.

I'd take Dad high over you any day! Nana's coming to pick me up. I'll be out front.

Catherine

Have you been to bed?

Grissom

Yes.

Catherine

Did you sleep? (pauses) Me neither. She was the same age as Lindsey. She was trying to hitchhike.

Grissom

Where was she going?

Catherine

Fremont Street.

Grissom

Was she buying drugs?

Catherine

No! She's twelve. She's... just so angry. She doesn't talk to me.

Grissom

Well, if enough people knew what was out there hunting them, they'd never leave their house. I think you need to sit her down.

Catherine

Well, I don't want to scare her. I don't want my daughter to be this... frightened, paranoid kid who's always looking over her shoulder.

Grissom

Catherine, there's a big difference between scaring her and preparing her. And all the reasons why you should are in that room. (Catherine contemplates this)
