Catherine Willows quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Hodges

And, uh, you can tell Homeland Security that the quantity of radioactive material in this is infinitesimal and poses no threat.

Catherine

Oh, you can tell them. Hang on a second. No. If-if the radiation source is infinitesimal, why are you wearing three lead aprons?

Hodges

Despite my aversion to children, sperm count.

Hodges

You see, Wendy suspected what I was up to, and she was urging me to come clean. I swear, it'll never happen again. Mea culpa. [to Henry] Can you forgive me?

Catherine

[to Hodges] This is going to go on your permanent record. [to Henry] You got your confession. Happy?

Henry

Hmm.

Catherine

Nobody likes a snitch.

Catherine

Oh, David, suck it up. [sees the body] There he is.

David

Yep, he's dead.

David, you think you have a hard job?

David

Well, Officer, I am the one who has to haul him out of here.

Greg

Sounds like Shawn was really trying to change his life.

Catherine

Probably what got him killed.

Ray

It's always easier to , uh, embrace hatred than it is to leave it behind.

Sara

I understand not wanting to share the details of your personal life with your co-workers. But when you don't share the fruits of your investigative work...

Catherine

No, he will from now on. He wasn't purposely shutting us out.

Greg

Look, I really like Ray. I think he's a great CSI. But if he doesn't trust us, how can we have his back?

Sara

And how can he have ours?

Ray

You're suspending me?

Catherine

No, I'm diagnosing you. You got the whatever virus. Take a sick day.

Catherine

After losing Warrick, I thought, if I just worked hard enough, if I focused completely on the cases that I wouldn't have to think about his death. There isn't enough work in the world. I realized that I couldn't do my job without talking to somebody.

Nick

I never knew that about you.

Catherine

Well, I'm good at hiding things. Like you.

Nick

So that's Earnest Boozell, huh? The "Booze"?

Catherine

Biggest shark in Vegas.

Catherine

You and Margot have something in common.

Nick

Yeah, what's that?

Catherine

A stalker.

Nick

That was a long time ago.

Nick

I think I'm gonna grab a beer... or ten. You wanna join me?

Catherine

I don't think so.

Nick

[grins] You sure? We could talk about our feelings.

Dr. Robbins

Mrs. Robbins has a birthday. The big one. She doesn't want to make much of it, which means I have to. You got any ideas?

Catherine

Can't go wrong with diamonds. Girl's BFF.

Dr. Robbins

Man's worst enemy.

Catherine

I-I-I've had all the complicated relationships I can handle. This is who I am. Please don't try to change me. I promise I won't try to change you.

Vartann

So, what? Take it or leave it?

Catherine

Call me when you decide.

Catherine

[to Greg] You did good.

Greg

Yeah, well, most bosses wouldn't have given me the chance to make it right.

Catherine

Oh, make no mistake. I'm pissed off at you, Greg. You disappeared on us, you walked into an ambush, you almost got yourself killed and then you left the scene of a crime.

Greg

Am I on suspension?

Catherine

You should be. [pauses] But I'm the last one who should be throwing stones. I've been blinded by lust once or twice. Just do me a favor. The next time you get the hots for a mysterious babe, let me check her out for you. I got an eye for the rotten ones.

Greg

Deal. Catherine?

Catherine

Yeah?

Greg

Why do the rotten ones smell so good?

Sara

[about Mrs. Grissom] She's very hard to get close to. She questions everything. She's got to be right about everything. She's mostly unavailable.

Catherine

[chuckles] Sorry.

Sara

What?

Catherine

Oh, it's... you just described Grissom. Like mother, like son.

Sara

[about Julia] She also made it perfectly clear that she would not continue with the interview until I was out of the room. What did Brass say?

Catherine

What do you think? He wants you off the case. I said no. I told him that you're a professional, and completely capable of being objective.

Sara

Thanks.

Catherine

You are capable of being professional and objective, right?

Sara

Yes, I am.
