Sara Sidle quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Grissom

Sara Sidle. 419. [Grissom hands the assignment sheet to Sara]

Sara

Dead body -- bonus.

Catherine

Whoa, somebody likes their job.

Grissom

Nick Stokes. 416, fight at the Bellagio. She says she's a friend of yours.

Catherine

Ex-girlfriend, Nick?

Nick

Well, that depends. Was she the assaulter of the assaultee?

Sara

You tell us, you like leather or lace?

Nick

[chuckles] No, I'm not even going there. [turns to leave, but turns back] Lace! [Sara smiles]

Warrick

You just don't give up.

Sara

It's a flaw.

Sara

[storms in, angrily] You weren't in your office.

Grissom

And good morning to you Miss Sidle.

Sara

Warrick has a problem, ignoring it isn't going to make it go away. You asked for a report and then you completely ignored my recommendation!

Grissom

I read your report.

Sara

Then at least take him off my case.

Grissom

No. I trust him. Do you trust me?

Warrick

You're a CSI, Sara. You saw me enter the casino, did you ever see me place a bet?

Sara

You're telling me you didn't?

Warrick

I don't need to tell you anything. [Sighs] I went to the casino to collect a debt that was owed to me. We're on the same team. Next time, why don't you try talking to me, instead of going around behind my back?

Grissom

Nothing harder to investigate than arson. If the fire hasn't ruined your crime scene...

Sara

... The firemen have.

Grissom

Yeah.

Catherine

The prisoner plea. Brass told me about the video.

Grissom

Yeah. If we take the case we have very little time to work it. The trial starts in three days.

Sara

How did he find you? 1-800 Grissom ...? (Nick laughs)

Catherine

Wait a minute. Ecklie was the CSI on that arson. I see a bad moon rising.

Warrick

Can a CSI take over another CSI's case?

Catherine

Only if they're of equal rank and they're looking for trouble.

Grissom

No trouble. We're both colleagues searching for the truth.

Sara

So, Ecklie's conclusion of gasoline wasn't based on any physical evidence. It was based on Damon's credit card receipts.

Grissom

I can't fault him for that. The burn pattern is consistent with a gasoline accelerant.

Sara

But, hydrocarbons are found in all kinds of things: Oils ... kerosene, polyethylene-based compounds like laxatives-- even the foam used in push-up bras.

Warrick

Yeah. Under the right conditions, any hydrocarbon can be an accelerant. (this perks Grissom up now that he has something to go on)

Grissom

(to Sara) Thank you. Warrick, you're driving. (Sara smiles at Grissom)

Warrick

You ever worry about professional suicide?

Grissom

Not while I'm commiting it, no.

Sara

Why would there be glass in the middle of the hot spot?

Grissom

Good question.

Warrick

Who cares? The guy torched his wife and kid.

Grissom

Really? Where's the trailing? An arsonist would spread the gasoline around to maximize the burn area.

Sara

He still did the job.

Grissom

Listen, you guys. You're like Dodger fans. The ball game's only in the seventh inning and you're already out of your seats.

Sara

He's been out of work ever since.

Grissom

Sittin' around makin' bombs..

Sara

Hey. (the alarm continues to ring annoyingly)

Grissom

Could you find that and turn it off, please? (Sara checks the clocks on the table, then finds it and turns it off. The alarm stops ringing. She picks up another clock)

Sara

Find the clock our guy used?

Grissom

(sighs): Not yet.

Sara'

This is a good choice. According to the bomb data center which has a record of every component used in any bomb -- from Ted Kaczynski to teenage boys playing with fireworks -- the most recent timing device of choice is made by TimeTell SnoozeWell, $10.99 at any local drugstore. (she hands him the clock)

Grissom

You spoiled all my fun. (Grissom starts to take apart the clock and Warrick walks in)

Grissom

Anything's possible.

Warrick

Catherine gave me this "FP" which was part of the Hansen bomb and I'm supposed to figure out what tool the bomber used to engrave it.

Grissom

You isolate the tool, and then we trace it.

Warrick

Yeah, but he could've used any number of things to initial it. I mean, screwdriver, a drill bit, a box cutter.

Grissom

It's the same as guns-- we eliminate them one at a time.

Warrick

*sigh* So what are you guys up to?

Sara

We're off to blow up some bombs

Warrick

Oh i definitely got the wrong end of this case!

Grissom

[Playing off Shakespeare's Hamlet] Alas, poor Warrick!

Sara

I ran a Lexis search looking for disgruntled employees, irate customers anyone with a grievance against thrift-right.

Sara

Norman Stirling -- former manager.

Grissom

How disgruntled?

Sara

Let go last year. Caused a commotion at HQ. Filed lawsuits against the company. He's been out of work ever since.

Grissom

Sittin' around, makin' bombs.

Sara

(Sara's mad after getting called into work on her day off) What am I? Working food and beverage at one of the hotels? I haven't had a day off in three weeks. I mean if they're gonna call me in at least throw me a bone. Gimme the 419 on the elevator.

Nick

Someone's bitter.

Sara

I'm tired!

Nick

You? Tired? I thought you never sleep. (Sara fakes a yawn, Nick chuckles) Nice, nice. (they walk into DNA and Greg's blasting music)

Nick

What up, G?

Sara

You're awake. I hate you.

Greg

Couple glasses of Merlot, a rack of lamb on my day off. I slept like a baby yesterday. You look horrible.

Sara

Thanks, Greg. (Greg looks at Nick)

Nick

Don't look at me. I got 'sunshine' all night. (Nick glances over at Sara who glares back at him, definitely catching exactly who he's calling "sunshine") Check for DNA in the sexual assault kit and the fingernail, please.

Sara

Everything has to be in CODIS ASAP.

Greg

Oh, is that all? I want to know who's going to authorize my overtime?

Sara

Suck it up, Greg. You're well-rested. (walks away)

Greg

(to Nick) You want a valium for her?

Sara

I heard that!

Sara

This Chilean sea bass is excellent.

Catherine

So is this.

Sara

Okay, you got your missing widow. Her bloody tooth found in her own

Brass

"Moes." I'm rubbing off on you. (Brass steals a bite of Sara's food)

Sara

No, you're not, and stay away from my seabass.

Sara

No, I can't drink any more coffee. My body clock is so screwed up. I just want a steak and a shot.

Nick

Tut's Tomb, steak and eggs $1.99.

Sara

Food?

Nick

Mmhmm.

Sara

Good idea. You're on.

Greg

(runs in the room) It's what I live for. You guys are not gonna believe this. You ready?

Sara

So much for the steak, I'll take the coffee.
