Sara Sidle quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Greg

We could compare them to the bucal swabs that we collected...if we still had them.

Sara

Well we'll just have to recollect them.

Greg

All 200 of them?

Sara

Yeah. And since we can't leave...someone else is...gonna have to recollect them.

Nick

This is crap. I've been waiting on IAB for 14 hours. I'm tired. And I kinda smell. And I don't have a friggen car.

Grissom

Did you know the original role of the bridesmaid was to act as a human shield against the bride's enemies?

Sara

Women would dress similar to the bride in an effort to confuse and outsmart evil spirits that might try to overtake her on her wedding day.

Nick

Wow, for somebody who's anti-wedding you sure know a lot about it.

Sara

I'm not anti-wedding, I'm just anti-stupid. You know, people who do things for the sake of tradition with no clue as to why...

Sara

Please tell me there are something more to this guys and cars thing, besides the obvious penis extension metaphors.

Greg

So you want me to lie?

Catherine

Caprice Unlimited: Anything is Possible. Sounds like a sex business. [picks up phone to call the company]

Sara

What are you going to say?

Catherine

Uh, something other than a guy is dead, and it looks like you're involved.

Grissom

I don't know, most people want to die in their sleep, I suppose, never know that it's happening. Like a crime scene: surprise, you're dead. I'd prefer to know in advance that I was gonna die, like to be diagnosed with cancer, actually have some time to prepare; go back to the rain-forest one more time; re-read Moby Dick; possibly enter an international chess tournament; at least, have enough time to say goodbye to the people I love.

Sara

I'm not ready to say goodbye.

Grissom

I got you a veggie burger.

Sara

Thanks.

Warrick

: What about me?

Grissom

I didn't know you were here. Soy, sorry. (Sara smirks)

Warrick

Where's the love?

Sara

If Sven is capable of creating these kinds of 3D renderings, he definitely could have built that miniature.

Sofia

Son defending the honor of his mother?

Sara

Name that Greek tragedy.

Sara

I hear we're out of suspects.

Grissom

Not necessarily, could be anyone in town. Or anyone out of town for that matter. That's a lot of suspects.

Grissom

Whoa! Pick on somebody your own size.

Sara

Are you volunteering?

Grissom

(long pause) No.

Sara

Why isn't there a medic on Greg?

Sofia

He's been stabilized. Sara, he's gonna be okay. (Sara walks over to where Greg is lying and brushes hair out of his face)

Greg

Sara.

Sara

I didn't think you could see me.

Greg

I can't. I know that "Sidle Scent".

Sara

I'm going to take that as a compliment.

Greg

You should process the scene now; me later.

Sara

(chokes up) I came here for you, Greg.

Catherine

Pig and the piglets are in the pigpen.

Warrick

About time. Finally some good news.

Catherine

Did you know that Pig, a.k.a Cole Tritt, was the only adult? The rest of 'em were all under 18. One was 14.

Warrick

Are you kidding? Who raises these kids?

Catherine

I mean, they weren't all delinquents. Demetrius James was a college student.

Nick

Hangin' out with the wrong crowd in the wrong town. I'm tellin' ya, a fake I.D in Las Vegas is like havin' a--a free ticket on the hell train. Sex, drugs, gambling, no adult supervision, 24/7, by the time they're 21 they've done and seen it all.

Catherine

Make me slit my wrists why don't ya? I'm raising a teenager here.

Warrick

Ah, you're doin' a great job, Linds is gonna turn out to be a beautiful young woman. Besides, I grew up in Vegas, I didn't turn out so bad, did I?

Nick

Yeah. That was pre-Mirage. Back when you were a little squirt goin' to the casino, playin' the arcade games. Nah, Vegas is a different animal now.

Warrick

Yeah, these kids need to beat people up in the street to be entertained. They need some good discipline, they need their grandmother whuppin' their ass like I had.

Nick

Yeah, a good slap.

Sara

You know, it kinda sounds like you guys are blaming everybody but these kids. I mean, you don't get a bye just because you grew up here or your parents are on drugs or--- those kids were perfectly capable of telling the difference between a wild night out and beating somebody to death.

Grissom

The truth is, a moral compass can only point you in the right direction, it can't make you go there. Our culture preaches that you shouldn't be ashamed of anything you do anymore. And unfortunately this city is built on the principle that there's no such thing as guilt. "Do whatever you want, we won't tell." So without a conscience, there's nothing to stop you from killing someone. And evidently you don't even have to feel bad about it.

Sara

Hey, guess what.

Grissom

Mankind has reached a new evolutionary plateau and starting tomorrow no-one will rape, murder or maim again?

Sara

Hi. What are you doing?

Just looking.

Sara

What do you think?

Meticulous. Obsessive. Clearly knows his way around a modeling kit.

Sara

Grissom didn't make those.

No? Hmm. Fits the profile. Bugs in bottles, Darwin desk set.

Sara

He's a bit of a collector of certain things.

Yeah, I knew a guy in Philly like that. Kept a case of thumbs in his closet.

Sara

Friend of yours?

No, serial killer.

Sara

Do you miss it?

What?

Sara

Philly.

No.

Sara

[with a razor in her hand] Do you trust me?

Grissom

Intimately [she begins to shave off his beard]
