“Living Doll” quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Brass

You lose your interest in dead bodies?

Grissom

I found a thriving miniature hobbyist community on-line. Sites where people meet, chat, exchange building tips, list stores they shop in.

Nick

[looking at the miniature of Grissom's office] So that's why you built this thing? I mean... other then to creep us all out?

Catherine

A grown man who sticks his hand up the back of a doll, and speaks like a girl. Sounds healthy.

Catherine

Okay... we're in a David Lynch movie. Where's the dwarf?

Grissom

My God. She was at the crime scene.

Nick

So she salvages the car, and somehow gets it out to the desert, and grabs Sara, and puts her under it?

Warrick

I don't get it. What does Sara have to do with bleach?

Catherine

I don't know. This just feels different.

Grissom

It is different. [flashback to crime scene where Grissom takes a camera from Sara and caresses her arm] This girl holds me responsible for the death of Ernie Dell. I took away the only person she ever loved, so she's gonna do the same thing to me [everyone looks confused]

Brass

I don't want to waste time screwing around with this nut case. I'm going to get some bleach, and drip it on her until she gives up the location. I mean they can't accuse us of police brutality for that.

Grissom

Hi Natalie. My name's Gil. It's so nice to finally meet you. I-um, probably shouldn't say this, but... I'm a huge fan. I've been a crime scene investigator for 22 years, I've worked over 2,000 homicides, and you are by far... the best I've ever seen. I mean, you're such a great artist. And to be so young, and so talented, and... so pretty. I've thought about you every night for the last nine months. I even tried to do what you do. I built my own miniature.

Grissom

You saw it? How'd I do?

Grissom

Do you play chess?

Grissom

I play. As hobby. Quiets my mind, you know? Soothes me. At one point I became so consumed by it, that whenever I closed my eyes I could see the chess pieces moving all around the board. I was obsessed with correcting all my bad moves. I wondered if a game could ever be played without a mistake. I'd love to play you sometime. I'm so impressed by the way you embrace your passion. You'd make a great CSI. This last one was brilliant. You studied our crime scene so well, tracking the car to the junkyard, and then towing it all the way out to the desert where you knew we wouldn't find it. And then, the way you killed Sara.

[shaking her head] I didn't kill her.

Grissom

You didn't?

This is about her. Her, her, her. It's always about her.

Grissom

No, it isn't Natalie. It's about you.

It's always about her.

Oh sad was the day for the little bisque doll, for they cut all her stitches away, and found the seat of the terrible ache. T'was a delicate task...

Grissom

[not cut, for it was all in her imagination] Natalie listen to me. Tell me where she is.

For none of the doctor's had ever before...

Grissom

Natalie.

...performed on a dolly's inside...

Grissom

Please tell me where Sara is.

...They tried to re-stuff her, but didn't know how, and this was her wail as she died...

Grissom

[yelling] Stop it! Just stop this!

Grissom

Tell me where Sara is!

...I've got a pain in my sawdust. That's what's the matter with me.

Something is wrong with my little inside. I'm just as sick as can be. Don't let me faint, someone get mr a fan.

Someone please run for the medicine man. Everyone hurry as fast as you can, 'cause I've got a pain in my sawdust.
