Father Powell quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Grissom

We both have jobs that begin after the crime.

Father Powell

After the sin.

Grissom

Some people would call that a career in futility.

Father Powell

Some people call it a vocation.

Father Powell

You don't believe?

Grissom

In religion. I believe in God, in science, in Sunday supper. I don't believe in rules that tell me how I should live.

Father Powell

Even if they're handed down by God?

Grissom

How many crusades were fought in the name of God? How many people died because of someone's religion?

Father Powell

Fanaticism, not religion.

Grissom

Semantics. They're still dead.

Father Powell

He needs spiritual guidance.

Grissom

Yeah, I imagine he does.

Father Powell

Ah. Then you'd have no problem with my talking to him.

Grissom

It's the 11th hour. I wouldn't expect anything less.

Father Powell

Eleventh hour?

Grissom

When the reality of their actions sets in, they usually turn to religion.

Father Powell

Can you think of a better time?
