TV show quotes
I just got served. Movie star's lawyer wants the shirt that I wore to the crime scene.
So give it to him.
I had to throw it out.
Why?
It was covered in the blood from the accident victim.
Well, you have to find it; otherwise, it'll look like you've got something to hide.
Oh, CSI's on trial now?
CSI's always on trial, Warrick; you know this. Burden of proof is on us.
[as he and Dr. Gerard are reviewing video surveillance] Looks like Raymond was disposing of the bodies for your client. You think he ran out of time before he could move Kim's out?
Or Ray was disposing of them for himself. You've just supplied Tom Haviland with reasonable doubt.
No. What I showed you on video is Ray in the casino during the time the murders were committed.
His zeal is clouding his judgment. It's not what did happen; it's what the jury will believe could have happened.
[to Dr. Gerard] What happened to you? You were a pioneer in forensic science. How many bad guys did you put away in Hennepin County?
My share. How many innocent men have been locked away since then because of sloppy investigating shortcut forensics?
You look for mistakes in any lab, you'll find them.
I shouldn't be able to, Gil.
Humans are fallible.
Not this fallible: compromised blood, sweetheart deals...
No, no, no, no. You're subverting good evidence. These are good people.
The accused is entitled to the best defense possible.
The accused is entitled, yeah. He's a movie star, that's why he's entitled. He's killed two women. You know it. But you're willing to decimate these CSIs so that you can spoon-feed a jury into letting him walk.
A jury believes me because of my reputation just like they do you.
The difference is, Philip, I get the same paycheck regardless of what I testify to.
I'm saying this as a friend. For the reputation of CSI, tell the D.A. to drop this, re-file down the road.
What about the victims' families? Who's their friend? [Dr. Gerard doesn't answer] My guys will see you in court.
There was another guy in that room. That's, that's great. The defense has us moving so fast we can't make sense of our own evidence.
That's what they want.
[when Tonya's body is found] Did, uh, Tom Haviland ever play a boxer? Girl's face looks like hamburger meat.
Looks like uncontrollable rage to me.
Grissom, you might want to come down here.
Just say it, Nick.
Beans and franks. Tonya's a man.
Looks like that old Hollywood saying: "Never get caught with a dead girl or a live boy." So, let's see Tom's in bed with what he thinks are two girls. He reaches down on one, becomes very confused. Most guys would have just cleared the room and gargled with whiskey. But Movie Boy, who brags about doing his own stunts, couldn't take the thought of having a man in his bed, so he freaked out.
[to Grissom] You're not running evidence. Or have you changed your mind? [Grissom doesn't say anything] By the way, tell your mother I say 'Hello' next time you talk. I was so impressed that night we all had dinner. The sign language... how you interpreted for her. Fluid, didn't miss a beat.
What'd you do, subpoena my doctor?
Knowing your genetic predisposition for hearing loss?
You've become a bottom feeder, Philip.
Your work is dependent upon your five senses. The fact that you're losing one of yours wouldn't bode well for any evidence you introduced.
You know, all those years I worked for you, you never got to know me at all, did you?
[to Nick] Remember, if you get stuck just maintain the same posture. If there's any adjustments, you're seen as squirming. It's going to make you look shifty.
Thanks, Cath. You know, I've done this before.
Well, I've done it longer.
[Catherine waits outside the courtroom on the bench and Nick comes out]
Damn!
What?
Damn, damn, damn. I forgot to put case identifiers on my dice photos.
Date, time and file number?
Yeah. [Catherine doesn't say anything] Don't look at me that way, okay? I wrote it down on the evidence envelope. I had to move fast. The casino manager wanted us out of there.
The dice places Tom at the murder. Victim's blood mixed with his saliva.
I was sweating bullets looking at those photos.
Did the judge exclude the dice?
No. No, just my credibility.
Damn! Why didn't I see that coming? Gambling?
Hey, we're all in Nevada. It's legal; don't worry about it.
Legal doesn't matter in there. You know the judge is going to throw out our blood evidence, right?
Truth is, it is compromised, Warrick.
The blood is fine. It's their methods that are dirty.
Your guys didn't get any extended body photos?
Chest, hands, arms right there.
I need lower extremities for comparison.
Hey, Marjorie Westcott blew in here and shut us down. She said if we wanted full body shots we were going to have to get a court order. So the D.A.'s working on it.
When, between testimony?
No kidding. Meanwhile, we're presenting half a case to a judge.
[to Sara] You date... you and Hank. You share a subtle communication. Did he move the bra to where you might have wanted it?
I didn't want it anywhere. I collect evidence without emotion.
You do get emotionally involved, though with the men on your cases. Hank Peddigrew isn't the first time.
Excuse me?
A murder investigation at the residence of one Charles Renteria. Eyewitness stated he saw you and your supervisor Gil Grissom standing alone outside and you were touching him in a romantic gesture.
I brushed chalk from his face.
Is that what they're calling it now?
Objection, your honor.
Drywall dust. We were looking for a body.
It's a fair question, your honor. Just how far will Ms. Sidle go on the evidence to please her boss, Gil Grissom, whether he returns her attentions or not?
Grissom... they're beating our heads in. Judge is going to dismiss... you can feel it.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
I'm not ahead of myself. I'm up there front and center taking hits along with the rest of CSI. You know, you've turned into a really lousy leader. I need your help, and you're on the sidelines.
Marjorie Westcott [to Catherine]: You took your clothes off for a living.
Catherine: For a very good living.
Gil, good work.
My team did it, Philip. I got good CSI's. [signs to Gerard] Oh, and, uh, my mother says "hello."
