Sara Sidle quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Walk softly, don't start a stampede.

Sara

I'm going to remember you said that McCaff, especially after these ladies sue you and the police for discrimination, you genius. Could you clear the halls for me please?

Greg

Sara, I just want you to know when we were in the shower, I didn't see anything.

Sara

Really? Gosh, I saw everything.

Grissom

Jail or no jail, she won't last six months. She'll die without her son.

Sara

That would be better for both of them.

Sara

When my father died, my mother came to a place like this for a while for evaluation. It looked the same, it smelled the same. It smelled like lies.

Grissom

You sure you're okay?

Sara

Crazy people do make me feel crazy.

Grissom

If you want, I can have somebody take your place.

Sara

I appreciate that. I do, I really do, but ... I kind of made a decision to move beyond that and... I really want to finish this case.

We have rules for a reason. You people come in here disrupting things. You're unsafe. This is your fault.

Grissom

Really?

Sara

Music, alcohol, candles. Kid was a regular Romeo.

Grissom

For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

Greg

Condom wrapper. (Sara looks at him)

Grissom

So much for safe sex.

Sara

Trophy condoms?

Greg

When a stud scores, he hangs his condom on his neighbor's doorknob.

Mia

Hey. Want to talk about semen?

Sara

Okay. (Mia hands Sara the file) Okey-dokey.

Mia

The semen on the vic's doorknob and the neighbor's doorknob is consistent with Trip's DNA. So, I'm thinking that Trip put a trophy condom on his neighbor's door and then transferred a trace of his reproductive material back onto his own doorknob.

Sara

You've uh, you've heard of trophy condoms?

Sara

Hey doc.

Al Robbins

Two dead bodies, both were in perfect health.

Sara

I am so hoping you have more in the report than that.

Al Robbins

Well there are two toxins that can turn a body pink post mortem.

Sara

We already ruled out carbon monoxide.

Al Robbins

Which leaves one, cyanide ingestion. Interesting fact about cyanide, not all everyone can smell it.

Sara

Right, it's a genetic quirk.

Al Robbins

Unfortunately, I don't have that ability.

Hodges

The nose has arrived.

Sofia

Your broadcast was for a blue Pontiac. Patrol figured this was worth a look.

Grissom

How bad does a smell have to get before Parking Control calls Homicide?

Sara

No way this car was at the trailer park. Think we've got a new case. First citation was issued five days ago. Car's probably been here at least six. [Sofia pops the trunk. Inside are the liquefied remains of two bodies] Six days in the summer heat.

Grissom

And a trunk becomes a crockpot.

Sara

Any good news, Mandy?

Mandy

A little bit. Male DB at the bunker matched your partial from the kitchen door. So far he's the only one with a record. Matthew Dickens, 19, bust for petty theft.

Sara

College student

Mandy

Yeah, very impressionable. When I start my religion, that's where I'm gonna recruit.

Greg

How are we doing on the other IDs?

Sara

Including the ones that you just made, we got one.

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.

Greg

And what do I get to do? Go back to the lab and wait for a phone call?

Grissom

This is a running gun battle that started twenty blocks back, you get that.

Greg

That's got to be like, a mile, who's with me?

Sara

A bunch of pissed off locals with shot-up cars.
