Sara Sidle quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Sara

Everything that happens to us, the good and the bad, is part of us. Took me a long time to realize that, uh, it doesn't have to define who we are, we get to decide that.

Sara

[to Greg] We have all had a moment in the dark where we had to fight our way out, and when we did, it was up to the rest of the team to shine a light on to that darkness to see what happened. That's our job. I just need to know what I'm dealing with, and then I will deal with it.

Grissom

Yes, yes, Norman pushed. Norman jumped. Norman fell.

Sara

Wouldn't you, if you were married to Mrs. Roper?

Grissom

I don't even have to turn around. Sara Sidle.

Sara

That's me. Still tossin' simulation dummies? There are other ways to tell, you know.

Grissom

No thanks. I'm a scientist. I like to see it. Newton dropped the apple. I drop dummies.

Sara

You're old school.

Grissom

Exactly. And this guy was pushed.

Sara

How's the girl?

Grissom

She's still in surgery. She's not doing very well.

Sara

That's too bad.

Grissom

God, Sara, I have so many unanswered whys.

Sara

There's only one why that matters now, why did Warrick Brown leave the scene?

Sara

Do you know where I can find Catherine Willows?

Catherine

She's out in the field. Let me guess, Sara Sidle?

Sara

I know who I am, I think you're a little confused.

Catherine

If you think you're taking my case, Forget it.

Sara

Ok, we can stay here and argue or we can get out there and find who did this to Holly Gribbs. Two sharp woman are better than one..

Sara

What are you gonna say? Hi, I'm a criminalist, I was in the neighborhood...

Catherine

Shhhhh....it's ringing.

Hello.

Catherine

Ah, hey.

Hey, who's this? I just dialed my own damn beeper.

Catherine

Uh-uh, it's my beeper now, I found it.

That ain't your beeper, girl, it's mine, I do a lot of business on that beeper.

Catherine

What kind of business?

You know, slinging a little something-something.

Catherine

Oh, a little something-something, or maybe a little bling-bling?

Ah, so what you know about some bling-bling?

Catherine

Well invite me over to your crib, baby, and you might find out.

Three Aces Motel, room 202

Catherine

Three Aces Motel, room 202, ahh, see you soon. *hangs up the phone*

Sara

...

Catherine

Did I just do that?

Sara

What's a bling-bling?

Catherine

Got me.

Sara

You're standing in my crime scene.

Nick

No, you're in mine.

Sara

You got audio, I wanted that.

Nick

I out rank you.

Sara

Technicality, who'd Grissom handpick to work here?

Nick

Keep telling yourself that.

Sara

Excuse me. Is my evaluation interrupting you?

Grissom

No, I barely heard you.

Nick

Yeah, but I got her a chem set.

Sara

You keep that; might learn something.

Nick

Stop flirting with me.

Sara

Hey Grissom! Would you come tape me up?

Grissom

I love my work.

Catherine

It shows.

Sara

Hey Grissom (holds up a roll of tape) Could you come tape me up? (walks back into the garage)

Grissom

(looks to where Sara has walked out) I love my work!

Catherine

(looks at Grissom oddly) It shows! (walks away from Grissom as he follows Sara into the garage)

Grissom

(is crouched in front of Sara carefully taping her hands whilst they share intimate smiles) So, you found Laura’s hairs here? Passenger seat, front of the car?

Sara

Right, not in the back which made me ask: What kind of a kidnapper puts a bound and unconscious woman in the front seat of his car? The back of my arm isn’t touching the sheepskin but there was sheepskin fibres on the back of Laura’s sleeve which tells us that she sat back like a normal person. “Cut me Mick” (Grissom cuts the tape and even more carefully pulls it from her wrists) Like this. (she shows him)

Grissom

So she wasn’t bound at all?

Sara

Correct, but that made me ask the question: What kind of kidnapper puts an unconscious woman in the front seat of the car even unbound? Answer’s usually in the question…you taught me that! So was she unconscious? We found Halothane on the patio. Halothane knocks you out…if you take it!

Grissom

So you’re saying that she never inhaled the Halothane?

Sara

Proof would be in her blood. Halothane stays in the system up to 48 hours.

Grissom

How lucky am I that I got a sample of her blood?

Sara

Oh…

Grissom

So you can go to lab and check that out.

Sara

Dammit! I wanted to carry the ball over the line!

Grissom

(blushes slightly) I know!

Nick

I can't believe I used to live in a place like this.

Sara

And here I had all this respect for you.

Sara

[to Warrick]: Fine suit.

Sara

[to Nick] And well, just fine.

Nick

That's harassment.

Sara

Hey, we have one locker room and it's my job to be observant.

Sara

Both guns are nine millimeter automatics. Brass isn't going to like this.

Warrick

I don't give a damn what Brass likes.

Sara

Like I do? If Tyner's dirty, he goes down. I just know what happens when you piss off the P.D.

Warrick

Yeah, it's war.

Grissom

What did you find out about the psych exam on the little girl?

Sara

The shrink says the kid is in a catatonic state from a trauma. I could've told you that. But she did respond to the name "Buffalo."

Grissom

Respond how?

Sara

She freaked out. (Catherine stares at Sara and takes a deep breath)

Grissom

And... what are you doing about it now? (Sara nods as she looks at Grissom)

Sara

Going back to the girl. I left her in the car. (Grissom looks at her. Catherine can't believe what she's hearing) The windows are cracked... (Grissom stares at Sara, absolutely no expression on his face. Sara breaks out into a smile and stands up) Give me a little credit. She's at the hospital!(Warrick snickers at the fast one Sara just pulled on Grissom and Catherine. Nick also smiles. Grissom turns to look at Catherine. Catherine stares)

Sara

Blood swirl on the wall. Are you thinking cult? Manson?

Grissom'

Somebody left a message. I need to see the rest of it.
