Nick Stokes quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Nick

Well, Rick Chilson did call Sabrina a "bitch" while we were talking.

Catherine

Charming.

Nick

Yeah, he's an ass, but his alibi checks out.

Sara

Hey, hey, Nick, Congratulations on your almost promotion. Seriously, you deserved it.

Nick

Wow, that's really hard for you isn't it?

Sara

Yeah, it is.

Greg

Nick! This is Chandra.

Chandra Moore

Chandra Moore.

Nick

Oh, yeah. Yeah, the new DNA girl. Right?

Chandra Moore

B.S. in bio-chem. M.S. in molecular biology. Five years of service in DNA at the CCL.

Nick

O-kay, well, I'm going to go use the no-pressure, no-AC, stinks-of-feet shower. So... welcome.

Grissom

Nick. You failed your firearm qualifications. You can't be here.

Nick

Oh yeah, well, I'm takin' it again, day after tomorrow. So I figured I could work.

Grissom

Not in the field.

Nick

You're serious?

Grissom

You're in violation just carrying a weapon.

Nick

Rusty. They say I have a flinch.

Warrick

You and I need to go practice some, huh?

Nick

Yeah, when do we have time to do that? If we're not processing a scene or working evidence, we're in court.

Warrick

Well, when they take your piece, you'll make time.

Catherine

I thought you were going to process the scene with Grissom.

Nick

I was. He said he had it covered. Sofia Curtis is up there with him.

Catherine

Right... Ecklie's right hand.

Nick

Hmm?

Catherine

Ever do a case with her?

Nick

Uh-uh. Hey, I heard Grissom stuck you with his speech.

Catherine

A napkin is not a speech.

Nick

I've never seen junkies shoot up in the face before.

It's not smack, it's silicone. Gives you good cheek bones.

The ones who can't buy silicone... shoot motor oil.

Nick

Do they?

Calm down, pretty boy. We're not the monsters. The real freaks are the suit-and-ties want to take a walk on the wild side, before sneaking back to the wife and kids. Want to go?

Catherine

Gang-banger girlfriend with a degree?

Nick

Sounds like a rock band.

Hodges

How old were you when you first got drunk?

Nick

Oh, 16.. 17..

Hodges

Amortized over a generation, 12's about right?

Nick

So you're saying two generations from now, four-year-olds are just gonna be getting trashed?

Hodges

Pre-school graduation parties are going to be off the hook.

Nick

What's going on out here?

Well, an anonymous 911 caller reported body parts in this area. I rolled, and found this. [Shines flashlight on a pile of intestines]

Nick

Mmm, tasty.

Nick

Are you baggin' Z's right now, man?

Hodges

I was just having the greatest dream.

Warrick

You were out.

Hodges

It was the 80's and I had this Don Johnson beard, you know, the Miami Vice stubble. It just gave me this air of danger. My lady loved it.

Nick

I thought Greg was in the field, is he back in the lab?

Warrick

I don't know.

Nick

We gotta clear this up, it's like he's confused. Lab, field, field, lab. We have a lab on wheels.

Greg

Would you guys just shut up? I'm doing this as a favor to Ecklie, it's a one time thing. He's still interviewing lab techs.

Warrick

Are you making overtime?

Greg

I'm taking one for the team.

Sara

Everything in our experience tells us they're dead.. all four of them.

Nick

Doesn't mean we just give up.

Sara

No one's giving up. It's just that... you're acting like you're gonna rescue a person, not recover a body. And on this job that's not usually the case.

Nick

I was rescued.

Sara

It was not your day to die. When it's your day, it's your day. You know?

Nick

I don't think it was Cassie's day.

Sara

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Nick

Sure, what's up?

Sara

I-I think I need to talk about what happened at the station.

Nick

Oh, yeah.

Sara

I'm slightly concerned about its effect on the case, but more than that, I'm concerned about the case's effect on you, Nick, and I'm absolutely sure that, six months ago, you wouldn't have lost it like that.

Nick

I know, I'm sorry. I apologize for that.

Nick

Looks like porcupine.

Sara

There's not enough room between rods for a human being to fit.

Nick

I know. [sighs] Bell and Adams must've been really swervin' and weavin'.

Sara

78 bullet holes. And Bell wasn't hit until he got out of the car.

Nick

And I heard Bell was a rookie, barely off training. It was just his time I guess.
