Ray Langston quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Ray

Look, when I had a gun pulled on me, I didn't check for skin color before I pulled the trigger. Finn's motives are not what we're after, just the evidence that's gonna tell us about his actions.

Ray

Sometimes, when God closes a door, Satan opens a window.

Ray

It's always very difficult to accept the truth about people. Especially about people that we love. Denying it doesn't make it go away.

Ray

[to prisoners] Listen up! I want your sneakers! I want your jumps! I want your DNA! I want to see your hands! I want to see your eyes! This man you killed was a cop! So there will be consequences! Prison will not protect you!

Ray

You know, when a man lets his wife down, loses her, sometimes he can lose himself. When your marriage fails, what no one tells us is that it makes us feel like we've failed somehow.

Ray

Some people just can't ask for help. They don't know how.

Ray

Hey, it's Ray. I know you're working. I didn't expect you to answer, but, uh, you're the only one I can talk to. The only person who I think will truly understand this. At least, I hope you'll understand when I've done what I have to do. You know, we all make choices, live with the consequences. The only person I have ever loved is dead. And now, there's only one thing left for me to do. Good-bye, Al.

Langston

If you're going to waste our time on playing games and phony remorse, I'll pull the plug right now!

Okay, honesty it is then. I didn't like your book. Too technical and too depressing.

Robbins

I was just about to dissect his trachea. Care to do the honors?

Langston

It's been a while since I cut.

Robbins

It's like destroying a bicycle. Come on.

Ray

Wealthy art dealer comes out for a late night swim. Somebody's there who shouldn't be...

Wendy

That is a whole lot of face-smashing. You think it was a crime of passion?

Ray

That is what it takes to make great art.

Ray

I found bloodstains on Miss Farrell's party dress.

Brass

Oh.

Ray

It's been washed.

I look great in that dress. I wanted to wear it out tonight, so I had to clean it. It was dirty.

Brass

Those incriminating DNA stains can be so hard to get out.

Ray

I need side-arm clearance and I've got to take a look at the tactical manual again, these codes are very, very confusing.

Nick

Ah, the most important signal's a code 4.

Ray

Situation secure. Code 4.

Greg

Second most important: 4-82.

Ray

I know this, 4-82 is... What is it?

Greg

Lunch!

Shouldn't you be out catching bad guys?

Ray

Shouldn't you be working on your thesis?

What a lonely place to die.

Ray

What place isn't, my friend? What place isn't?

Ray

so all you had was an eyewitness who was a half a mile away, testimony from Jeremy Ken't ex-cellmate and a single fingerprint from a rock?

Catherine

Back then it was enough.

Got it figured out? Legal just put this on my desk. [Hands Catherine an envelope.]

Catherine

I've been subpoenaed by Jeremy Kent. He's requesting a pre-trial conference.

Nick

Yeah, he probably wants to talk to you about how he got life based on a rock.
