Sara Sidle quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Sara

[about Mrs. Jimenez] What happened? Her husband attack her again?

No, she came in voluntarily. Took some convincing, but she's agreed to go to a shelter.

Sara

She won't stay.

Maybe not. But at least now she has a chance. Look, I did it all on my own time, no OT. I know it's not the way you do things, but I think it's part of the job. At least, that's how I want it to be. For me.

I asked Hannah to teach me how to make GHB, and how to get it into Kira. I just wanted to mess her up a bit. I snuck it into Kira's room a few days ago; I still had a key. Hannah must've made a copy.

Sara

I believe you, Marlon. I really do. But the only thing that a jury's going to see is your prints on the lube, your prints on the windowsill, and another dead girl.

Why is Hannah doing this to me?

Sara

I don't know. All I know is ... you don't deserve to take the fall for this. And the question is ... are you going to let your sister get away with this and spend the rest of your life in jail?

If Hannah wants me in jail, that's where I'm going to be. There's nothing I can do about it.

Hannah

[to Sara] You need to talk to me again?

Sara

I do. I know that you killed Kira Dellinger. I just can't prove it.

Hannah

That must be frustrating for you.

Sara

Hannah, Marlon's dead.

Hannah

Wow. That's a really sad and desperate ploy, Sara. It's beneath you.

Sara

He was doing well here, wasn't he? Making friends, joining a band, falling in love. But you're still a freak, just like high school.

Hannah

You're lying. No. This is a lie.

Sara

His world got bigger, and yours stayed the same, and you killed Kira so you could keep him all to yourself, didn't you?

Hannah

[screams] It's a lie! No no... it's a lie! It's a lie! Lie! [drops her backpack and grabs Sara's hands. Sara struggles with her and kneels as Hannah cries] Stop it! Marlon... he-he-he can't leave me all alone.

Grissom

He didn't wanna go, Sara.

Sara

(pause) Tell me.

Grissom

I was holding him. ... God, I could feel his life, ... I guess I felt that if I could hold him tight enough, he'd be okay.

Sara

You know that there is no place in the world that he would have rather been at the end. ... He loved you.

Grissom

[holding back tears] Yeah, I loved him. [Catherine comes in and sees Sara, Sara walks up to her and hugs her]

Sara

[while hugging Catherine] I'm so sorry.

Catherine

It's so good that we can all be together. [Greg and Nick walk in and Sara hugs them both]

Greg

I'm glad you're here.

Sara

Look, um, maybe I can pick up some of the slack. I... I know I can't work the case, but maybe I can make some of the, uh... arrangements.

Grissom

That'd be great.

Greg

I'll help you.

Sara

I'd appreciate that.

Nick

You know, since his grandmother passed, we were the only family that he had. He once told me that he'd like to be buried next to her.

Grissom

I went to her funeral with Warrick. She's, uh, buried at the Baptist cemetery on Eastern.

Sara

We're gonna need, uh, a key, I guess to his place.

Catherine

I've got one. I... went over to his place and got him some fresh clothes when he was in custody.

Nick

Warrick was right about Gedda and he was right about the department. [looks at everyone then at Grissom] Let's finish this for him.

Sara

You know, after being in so many victim's houses, I never left my house without making the bed and taking out the trash, just in case I didn't come home.

Greg

What about now?

Sara

Since I left Vegas, I don't do that anymore.

Catherine

Sara, I know that you walked into some fireworks in the breakroom.

Sara

What? Ecklie? Please.

Catherine

No, I just read Riley's exit interview. She had some... harsh things to say about my leadership, that the team's fractured, that it lacks cohesion because of me because of my managerial style. I don't know. I-I admit it, I admit that things are different since Grissom left.

Sara

Well... it's like when a great baseball team loses its clean-up hitter; suddenly everybody's swinging for the fences and nobody's playin' small ball.

Sara

Ah, apparently part of being married is attempting to share in your spouse's interests.

Catherine

English, please?

Sara

You are a great CSI Catherine, and you know how to manage your team. The only thing Grissom had that you don't... is you. [Catherine smiles.]

Sara

Craig, if we made you feel like you were paying for your father's crimes, I'm sorry.

You know, I never even met Mr. Millander, yet I'm more like a Millander than a Mason. You probably wonder how that happened.

Sara

It has crossed my mind.

You see, my father, Doug Mason, took me to the Halloween warehouse once a month. He told me that the owner, Mr. Millander was his friend, and then my father would play with me with me just like every father would play with his son. Millander's costumes were toys to me, and I'd told my father every time that we went to tell this Mr. Millander that he was a genius. And then one day it all stopped, I lost both my father and my idol. And making masks and rubber hands is my way of keeping the connection alive.

What's this about?

Sara

An overdue library book.

Sara

It's Cindy Warner's phone.

Nick

They say the only way to get a teenage girl away from her cell phone is to pry it from her cold dead hand.

Sara

Well, whoever they are, let's hope they're wrong.

Ray

I've seen access denied, but access restricted?

Sara

Denied is get lost. Restricted, that's like a fence you want to climb over.

Brass

Okay, let me get this straight, you'd rather do the legwork on a next-of-kin notification you'd rather do that than slog around in the sewer looking for evidence? I mean, that-that is not the down and dirty Sara Sidle I used to know.

Sara

I like to know where haters come from.

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?

Sara

I'll be back to give you a lift home?

Nick

Oh, no way. You're a terrible driver.

It's clear that the shark in the pool did not come from my tank.

Sara

Well, it had to come from somewhere.

Well, maybe it checked in last night, VIP. No, VIS. Very Important Shark.

Sara

Did you know that a 12-letter word for across the woods is Transylvania?

Nick

[sarcastically] Grissom? Is that you, Grissom?
