Nick Stokes quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Hodges

All the hairs lifted off the victim's clothes were consistent with each other. There's a sample under the scope. The root is shaped like a spade which is indicitative of canine. The scale pattern is consistent with a golden retriever.

Sara

Oh, yeah the victims have a golden retriever.

Hodges

Well if you cracked that mystery at the scene, you would have saved me a lot of time. [sighs] I've been working like a dog.

Nick

You know studies have found that pet owners have lower stress levels, you should, you should check that out.

Hodges

Well, I had a hamster when I was growing up. My mother hated them she said they stank out my room. But I just loved to watch them spinning on their little wheels. One day I came home and they were gone. Somehow they'd gotten out of their cage.

Sara

How much did your mother hate them?

Hodges

They ran away.

Sara

Edith car in a Lexus neighborhood.

Sofia

We ran the plates, our girl doesn't live here, we're tracking her down.

Nick

Bitch on wheels, can't wait to meet her.

Nick

Hey, Grissom. You wanna talk to me?

Grissom

Yeah. Sit down. (pause) I heard that, uh, Kelly Gordon may be a suspect in your murder case.

Nick

Yeah.

Grissom

Is that a problem?

Nick

No. No, it's not a problem. Hey, by the way I heard the tape. I did a voice comparison. Sylvia Mullins is the other voice on that tape. She's Walter Gordon's ex-business manager so I'm pretty sure she had something to do with my kidnapping.

Grissom

But now she's dead.

Nick

Yeah.

Grissom

So... it's over.

Nick

Yeah.

Grissom

Good.

Nick

Good.

Archie

According to the Airline Global Distribution system, she boarded the flight and he didn't.

Nick

He was busy being dead.

Greg

Every time I come to the desert I see porno mags. Who brings spankables out here?

Nick

It's probably just trash blown in from off the street.

Greg

Nobody throws away porn. They're like heirlooms that you pass on down your family tree.

[to Nick] Good news is Judge Crawford denied the defense's motion to dismiss.

Nick

Of course he did. She's just a mixed-up kid trying to protect her older brother. All the evidence points to Marlon.

Yeah, and all the jury's going to remember is a little girl in a bloody shirt confessing to murder. That's reasonable doubt on a silver platter.

Sara

Do you have any physical evidence that would conclusively rule Hannah out as a suspect?

Nick

Well... yeah. She's 4"3 and 65 pounds. The crime just required more strength than she's got.

Catherine

How old is she?

Nick

12.

Warrick

In high school?

Nick

She's a high school senior. She skipped 6 grades. She's a prodigy.

Sara

Which means that she has the brains for murder.

Hodges

Does that make Doogie Howserette our killer?

Nick

Nah, I kinda doubt it.

Hodges

Don't be so sure. It's not easy.

Nick

What isn't easy, Hodges?

Hodges

Being profoundly gifted. Knowing that everybody knows that you're always 10 steps ahead of them. It's a lot of pressure. [Nick gives him a look, and starts walking away] Some days you just feel like you're going to snap.

Nick

I know the feeling.

Sara

[reading what's on Hannah's dress] Rainbow party?

Nick

Yeah, it's a party game where the boys get the girls to wear different colored lipsticks while they have oral sex. The boy with the most colors wins. It's supposed to be trendy.

Sara

So much for "spin the bottle."

Mandy

12-year-old killer, huh?

Nick

Starting to look that way, yeah.

Mandy

I bet that Grand Theft Auto had something to do with it.

Nick

Mmm, I don't know, I don't think Hannah is really the video game type.

Mandy

You never know. Between you and me, I actually think it's a ton of fun.

Hodges

Ah, teen lust. It starts with some chemistry, mess around with some biology. [Nick and Sara give each other look] And once you have some experience under your belt then you introduce the physics. Apparently chivalry is not dead. The bloody fingerprint tested positive for nonoxynol spermicide.

Nick

So much for the boyfriend.

Sara

If we can't pin this on Hannah or Marlon they could both walk.

Hodges

You could flip a coin.

Nick

Yeah, playin' football, chasin' girls, books when I wanted to learn somethin', what's not to like?

Warrick

Hey, guys.

Nick

Hey.

Warrick

This is Darcy, my wife Tina's niece.

Sara

Hey, Darcy. [Darcy kinda waves]

Nick

Yeah, you were right she's about Hannah's size.

Warrick

More or less.

Stop talkin' about me. [Warrick pulls an earbud out of her ear] Hey, that was the best part!

Warrick

That's what the pause button is for. It's time to work, it's child labor day.

Nick

[to Marlon] You moved the body, you buried it.

I know I did; I was there. What's the problem?

Nick

Well, the problem is what happened in the locker room. I mean, you're not the kind of guy who puts sodium in a showerhead to get back at somebody. You just trip them in the hallway.

So you think I'm too stupid to have done it. Great, join the club.

Nick

I don't think you're stupid, Marlon; I didn't say you were stupid. But this is Hannah's game. The whole way.

Nick

The evidence says either one of them could have done it, but I think they were in it together.

Okay, I'll proceed against Marlon for the murder and bring charges against Hannah for conspiracy.

Another trial? You sure you want to go through all this again?

Hannah's parents and the community will have my ass if I don't.

Sara

Well, then maybe this is good news. I was just going over Sofia's notes from the original investigation. The night of the murder, Hannah and Marlon's parents had left them alone in the house. A pizza was delivered to the residence around 9:00 PM.

Nick

That's right around Stacy's TOD.

So, did anybody talk to the delivery guy?

Sara

Yes, and at the point that Sofia did, a month had passed. Now, the delivery guy's at the house all the time. He recognized photos of both kids, but he could not be sure which one answered the door that night.

Nick

But one of them did answer the door. [Sara nods] So that means they were not together at the time Stacy was killed.

Yeah. So much for conspiracy. We're right back where we started.

Where we are is in the crapper. Look, I have to disclose the cart. Defense is going to eat me alive.

Nick

Marlon's your guy. He's your guy, just because Hannah wasn't there doesn't mean she didn't help plan this.

Well, I sure hope it's Marlon, because he's the one we have on trial.

Nick

I stand by the case we filed.

I agree. The girl's just trying to protect him.

Sara?

Sara

This was more about brains than brawn. I think Hannah did it.

2 out of 3.

In my world, that's called an acquittal.

Yo think you're cops, y'all ain't cops!

Stokes

That's right, we're not cops we're mad scientists, back away from the vehicle, let me see your hands now.
