Warrick Brown quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Like what?

Warrick

Footprints and tire treads.

I hate you.

You love me. Who are you kidding?

So, what's the pot up to?

We don't bet on cases.

Greg

Ah, of course you don't...So who's winning?

NWNick and Warrick

I am.

Greg

Fiends.

Well, in this case we're going to recreate the flight from ... 1630 hours on. [points to Brass] You are in 4B.

Lou.

Lou -- the angry businessman. How about that?

[Sarcastic] Ha ha.

I want to be Shannon.

Good.

Warrick

The stewardess.

Excuse me, it's "Flight Attendant".

Catherine, the doctor, 3E.

Single mom. What an imagination you have.

[points to Nick and Warrick] Max and Marlene, 2E and F. You two are married. Who wants to wear the pants?

CSI-3 seniority, "sweetie".

Warrick

Yeah, whatever. You're henpecked anyway.

[To Grissom] Let me guess; you're the computer geek.

In the interest of clarity, yes. Nate in 2C.

[Grissom and Warrick go to interview the final passenger]

Warrick

Mr. Cash?

CCash

[Smirks] I was wondering when you guys would get around to asking me some questions.

So, what did you see?

CCash

Not much.

[Barely holding his frustration] Mr. Cash, we're all very tired, here. And we don't have much time before our crime scene flies away.

CCash

I was in my seat.

You were in 1A.

Warrick

Sitting ringside; how could you not see what was going on?

[Cash promptly pulls out a collapsible cane used by blind people, extending it]

[Sheepishly smiles] "The blind leading the blind."

CCash

I'm not totally blind, I'm legally blind. My central visual acuity is 20/200.

[A flashback is shown of the crime on the plane, from Cash's perspective, then cuts back to the present]

Can you describe the voices?

CCash

First voice, behind me, 4B. Businessman, I could tell by the way he ordered drinks.

How so?

CCash

"JW Black, triple not double."

That's Lou.

CCash

Second voice, 2F, kind of far away.

Max. Third voice?

CCash

Third voice...ah, row behind me, two seats over. Mr. Dot-com. Guy must've typed sixty words a minute.

Nate. That's very good.

[The CSI team and Brass are recreating the crime based on the different witness testimonies]

Now Lou said that he was the peacemaker.

Peacemaker, my ass. [Shows three empty mini-bottles of whiskey] He's got three empties in the pouch, the seat reeks of whiskey; the guy probably spilled Lou's drink.

Very good.

I was boss at CSI once, for a reason. So, Lou gets up and takes a swing at the guy. Well, after knocking three back at 30,000 feet, you know, he probably misses, so what does he get for his troubles?

Warrick

A CD swipe across the chops.

So, then he falls back–oh, maybe that's when he fell back and spilled his own drink.

Now, by this time, Candelewell's got to be out of his seat, right?

You know, if I'm Max, I want no part of this. Plus, I don't have an aisle seat.

Yeah, but you're lucky: your wife's going to make sure you get into the playing field.

Warrick

Yeah, go ahead, honey. Save my life.

So Max gets up, goes across Marlene,[to Warrick] Excuse me, buttercup...

I don't care what you say. I could never take a life.

Warrick

It was between him or me, I could. What about you, Nick?

I don't know.

[walks in with Grissom] Wow, looks deathly serious in here.

[smiling sweetly] Oh, we were just talking about murder and whether or not we would commit it. I couldn't, Warrick could, and Nick's on the ropes. We're taking an exit poll.

Catherine, you're a mother. You and Lindsey are on that plane. How far do you go?

All the way.

(surprised) You didn't even hesitate.

That's right. If it involves the protection of my child I fight to the death.

Warrick

See? We have four people here, all with different opinions. Think of how the passengers must have felt.

What do you think, Grissom?

(beat) I can't answer that question.

That's a cop-out. It's a simple question. What would you have done if you had been one of those passengers?

It's not about that. You all have different opinions but you've taken the same point of view. You've put yourself in the shoes of the passengers, but nobody's put themselves in the shoes of the victim. That's the point.

I'm sorry. What are you saying?

Nobody stopped to ask Candlewell if he was all right. They just assumed, because he was kicking the back of Nate's seat, that he was a jerk. Because he was pushing his call button, that he was bothering the Flight Attendant. Because he was trying to get into the lavatory, he was making a scene. Because he was going back and forth up and down the aisles, he was posing a threat.

He was a threat.

No. He turned into a threat. It didn't have to be that way. People make assumptions. That's the problem. You just did. And I think these passengers made the wrong assumption and now this guy's dead.

Warrick

Well, if that's your stance how could it have been prevented?

If just one person had stopped and taken the time to look at the guy to listen to him, to figure out what was wrong with him, it might not have happened. It took five people to kill him. It would have only taken one person to save his life.

Hey.

Warrick

Hey.

Nicky, how's it going?

Warrick

What's up?

Good, good. (he looks at the painting) Are you putting one of Lindsey's drawings into evidence? (Cath and Warrick laugh)

If only her artwork brought in this kind of dough I wouldn't need to worry about her college tuition.

Yeah, I heard your missing person was a "painting".

Warrick

(scoffs) At least we solved our case.

Oh! (Nick puts a hand to his chest as if wounded)

Keep walking. (Nick laughs and leaves the room)

Grissom reinstated you.

Warrick

And you have a problem with that.

Let me guess. Grissom gets you to dime yourself off and now you both feel better? You're supposed to be in court. Instead, you're placing bets for a cheap thrill to satisfy nothing.

Warrick

Hey! This has nothing to do with you. So are we going to work together...or not?

I'm already working.

What's that?

You...at the Monaco Casino.

Warrick

What? I don't believe this. Now you're pulling up film on me?

Casinos tape everyone who walks through their door, Warrick, you know that. I thought we had a deal.

Warrick

We do.

Look, what you do on your time is nobody's business. What you do on my time is my business. [Warrick sighs and sits down]

Warrick

I was at the casino. But I wasn't gambling. [Grissom sits and listens to what he has to say, screen cuts to a different scene]

Warrick

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

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?

The prisoner plea. Brass told me about the video.

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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)

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

Warrick

You ever worry about professional suicide?

Not while I'm commiting it, no.
