TV show quotes
(sees Sasha sitting in amongst trees) Sasha! (as she looks at him he says quietly as in not to scare her) Sasha? (he walks up to her) My name is Horatio!
(frowning at the weird name) Horatio?
(nods) Yeah! That's a weird name isn't it? My mother named me after a famous writer named Horatio Alger!
Is your badge real?
Yeah! It's real!
Educated guess: Beautification. She was injected with pig botulism. Botox ... the ultimate wrinkle cream.
How did it get into her bloodstream?
Bad doctor. Missed the muscle. Shot directly into her supratrochlear vein.
Amazing the advances we make in science and the primitive uses we find for them.
Looks like gink work. It's the kind of thing speed freaks do when they've been up for 10 days straight...and they've already taken apart the radio.
(Throws magazine onto roof of car) Hey
Ooooh, Pretty girl
I wired the target to the car's alarm system. Gotta make sure we hear it.
Always thinking there, Nicky, aren't ya?
[They get into their cars and buckle up]
Okay, remember full out the fifth then hit the nitrous and hang on.
You just try to keep up.
Tony Del Nagro: Jace killed my mom. Everybody knew it. Everybody knew it, and nobody came forward. It was a street race. Jace's car just slammed right into us. Killed my mom instantly. He just plowed right into us. Kept going.
Catherine Willows: You were in the car. Why didn't you just tell the police?
Tony Del Nagro: Because I didn't know it was Jace. I found out later on that it was a street racer.
Nick Stokes: And you weren't?
Tony Del Nagro: Not at the time, no. So I went to a couple of events and hooked into the world. I found out within one hour who killed her.
Nick Stokes: So, let me get this straight. You decide to become one of them. You buy a car with your mother's death benefit, toss your hat in the ring, and wait for your shot.
Catherine Willows: Revenge is best served cold.
Psst, Grissom. [whispering] We got a development. I went over those swatches that Sara gave me from the bed sheet.
Are you whispering?
I don't want that Gerard guy to hear me.
Well, he's not here, so stop it.
(Looking at his beeper before going to the lab across the hall) You beeped me from across the hall
Uh yeah, I waved, you didn't look up.
[on television] Aside from the fact that the other woman in this case also known as Tonya is still at large and is still a likely suspect in this murder the evidence Las Vegas CSI did collect the evidence they're using to railroad my client, Tom Haviland, has been completely and irretrievably compromised. I'm holding in my hand compromised, contaminated evidence, ladies and gentlemen. CSI should be ashamed; and you, as citizens, should be outraged. This is not how we do things in America.
Warrick [to Grissom]: You don't recognize that guy, do you? It's Tom Haviland, movie star.
Clark Gable was a movie star.
I get one phone call, right?
Sure. Just like in the movies.
D.A. just got the call. Tom's manager hired Marjorie Westcott to defend him.
"Soundbite" Westcott?
Guilty, rich client, high-profile case it's right up her alley. Publicity for her new cable show.
Forget about who's involved. We do this like we do any other case.
Can the casino do anything to hurry this up, Mr. Stokes?
I'm processing as fast as I can, sir. It would help if I had the dice used at this table.
We replace the dice every hour.
I've got my work cut out for me then, don't I?
Tom Haviland's attorneys are not waiving time.
Are you serious?
They're actually exercising their right to a speedy trial?
No requests for continuances, no stall tactics. They're pushing for their day in court.
Good defense attorney always does the last thing you expect.
Yeah. What typically drags on for months has now been put on the fast track and the prelim is less than 72 hours.
I'm only done processing half the evidence.
You're going to have to call in help, because if the judge thinks that our evidence isn't strong enough to go to trial, he's going to dismiss the charges on Tom.
Can't the D.A. drop the charges and we'll refile when we get our evidence together?
Sure, but the odds are that Tom will relocate to Europe and pull a Polanski.
And what's a Polanski?
Get-out-of-jail-free card. One more thing: Westcott just added a forensic scientist to their roster. She wants him to examine every piece of evidence we have against Haviland.
As soon as it's processed they'll get a copy of our report.
They're entitled to see it as it's processed.
I've never done a case where the defendant took advantage of that rule of discovery.
Well, when you can't attack the evidence itself, you attack the method of gathering the evidence.
So who's their guy?
Dr. Phillip Gerard.
Phillip Gerard? Your mentor is their forensic scientist?
Yeah. Marjorie Westcott's a smart lawyer.
Marjorie's requesting copies of CSI's proficiency test records, by midnight.
So relax. If any of us had failed the yearly proficiency test, we wouldn't be here.
You completely forget, don't you? My test is on appeal.
Oh, right.
Board said I was wrong on one question. I said the question was ambiguous. They're going to rule my way, but not before the prelim. [sighs] Just trying to rattle me.
Is it working?
Maybe I should just take a page out of your book. If I don't collect or analyze anything, I don't have to testify. Of course, it helps to be boss. Very politic. Ecklie must be rubbing off on you.
Yeah, that's it. Ecklie.
