Ray Langston quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Doc Robbins

A racist gets stabbed before he can drown. A lot of people would call that justice.

Ray

We still have to call it murder.

Greg

Sounds like Shawn was really trying to change his life.

Catherine

Probably what got him killed.

Ray

It's always easier to , uh, embrace hatred than it is to leave it behind.

David

When a man is dead, a man is dead. Why keep killing him?

Ray

Either you're very angry or you're having too much fun to stop.

Ray

You know, Doc, I'm against the death penalty, except when it comes to people who kill children.

Doc Robbins

I think they should be tortured first and then guillotined.

Ray

You're suspending me?

Catherine

No, I'm diagnosing you. You got the whatever virus. Take a sick day.

Ray

[cutting Margot's stitches] I'm sorry. Your cuts are evidence.

Don't you doctors and police ever talk to one another? Wouldn't it have been a lot easier if that cute young resident hadn't stitched me up at all?

Ray

Well, he was just doing his job, and I'm doing mine. What's the matter, I'm not cute?

Not right now.

David

Hey, did you know that coyotes won't eat the flesh of crystal meth users?

Ray

Really?

David

It's true. I read it. They can sense that the stuff is poison.

Ray

Well, that places them at a higher evolutionary mark than a good deal of human beings.

Ray

Anything printed on the keychain?

David

[joking] If found eaten by animals, please call...

Ray

David.

David

Sorry.

Nick

What is the code for suspicious ooze?

Ray

6-6-6. Well, at least the primordial variety, the stuff of creation, Heaven and Hell.

Ray

[about the burned body] Gonna be hard to burrito him like that.

David

I could put him in the passenger seat of the van. Then we could use the car pool lane.

Ray

Always looking for the silver lining, eh, David?

David

Yeah. That's me.

Greg

Instead of coming back for her stuff, she comes back for revenge.

Ray

Well, revenge is one thing, but, uh, shoving his dead wife's ashes down his throat and slicing him up, that's a monster.

Well, you heard that expert - he's not responsible for his actions. Besides, the love of a good woman can change any man.

Ray

Well, why don't you tell that to the seven women that we found buried under his floorboards?

Brass

[sarcastic] I see you've met the Brides of Haskell.

Knowledge demands its payment.

Ray

It's always nice when somebody picks up the bill for you, though.

Ray

You know what I believe? I believe that people that bring suffering and pain into this world should have it repaid to them tenfold, either in this world or the next one.

Doc Robbins

Careful. Evil has a way of making friends with the good and dragging them into the darkness.

I had to get her out of there. I mean, it was for her own good!

Ray

Usually, when people say they're doing something for the good of others, it usually means they're doing it for themselves.
