Mandy quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Sara

Any good news, Mandy?

Mandy

A little bit. Male DB at the bunker matched your partial from the kitchen door. So far he's the only one with a record. Matthew Dickens, 19, bust for petty theft.

Sara

College student

Mandy

Yeah, very impressionable. When I start my religion, that's where I'm gonna recruit.

Mandy

12-year-old killer, huh?

Nick

Starting to look that way, yeah.

Mandy

I bet that Grand Theft Auto had something to do with it.

Nick

Mmm, I don't know, I don't think Hannah is really the video game type.

Mandy

You never know. Between you and me, I actually think it's a ton of fun.

Hodges

Four crime scene miniatures. Four murder victims. And one diabolical killer with an obsessive streak who still remains at large. I don't know if any of you have noticed how distracted Grissom's been lately, but it's these keeping him up at night.

Archie

You know the combination?

Hodges

Of course. Grissom could use some fresh eyes on the case and that's why I've asked you here. Obviously, this could be perceived as insulting to the CSIs who formerly worked the case, so secrecy is of the utmost importance. Double down low.

Mandy

[in a British accent] Oh James, it's Monnypenny. M needs you back at HQ.

Archie

Shoe phone was get smart, girl.

Mandy

Oh, that's right.

Henry

Ninety-nine was so hot.

Archie

Yeah.

Hodges

Four people are dead, the killer's still out there, and you're mocking?

Mandy

We're mocking you.

Hodges

You in or out?

Henry

I don't really know anything about these cases.

Hodges

We'll review.

Henry

I don't know, I have a lot of work to do.

Hodges

And by work, you mean IMing your Icelandic penpal who thinks that you look like Warrick Brown, because that's the picture you posted.

Henry

How?

Hodges

I just know. Archie? In?

Archie

What the hell? But I gotta leave early. I've got a surfing trip in Santa Barbra this weekend.

Hodges

Miss Mockery?

Mandy

Well, we can't leave the lab. We can't talk to suspects. What exactly does Grissom want us to do?

Hodges

It's not always what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

Henry

That's Thoreau.

Hodges

Oh, is it?

Archie

Okay, professor, and your point would be?

Hodges

The answers lie in these. We're lab techs. We think differently than field guys. They deal with people, we deal with things. Maybe we can't find the killer, but I think we can find the thing that links all four murders. This is an opportunity. We have one shift to show Grissom what we're made of. Tonight we could be heroes.

Mandy

All right, all right. I'm in.

Hodges

It's time to think outside the box.

Mandy

So, I got a hit off of the print on the motel's 'Do Not Disturb' sign. [hands her paper]

Catherine

Drug dealer with priors for assault. Nice.

Mandy

Well, don't get too excited because I got another hit off of the telephone. Pedophile. [hands her another paper] And I got one off of the dress, a rapist. [hands her another paper] And another off the bed frame. A prostitute, a pimp, and another prostitute. [hands her more papers]

Catherine

Is that it?

Mandy

For felonies, yes. Do you want misdemeanors too?

Hodges

[About a tortoise with a suspect's fingerprint on it] I wonder if he's a rare species, because I read that African tortoises can be worth as much as $10,000.

Mandy

Please hurry, okay? Because he's been traumatized enough already.

Hodges

He's a material witness in a homicide investigation.

Mandy

I meant traumatized by you.
