TV show quotes
Everything in our experience tells us they're dead.. all four of them.
Doesn't mean we just give up.
No one's giving up. It's just that... you're acting like you're gonna rescue a person, not recover a body. And on this job that's not usually the case.
I was rescued.
It was not your day to die. When it's your day, it's your day. You know?
I don't think it was Cassie's day.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure, what's up?
I-I think I need to talk about what happened at the station.
Oh, yeah.
I'm slightly concerned about its effect on the case, but more than that, I'm concerned about the case's effect on you, Nick, and I'm absolutely sure that, six months ago, you wouldn't have lost it like that.
I know, I'm sorry. I apologize for that.
Well, it's always good to know what you don't know.
So I understand that you're going up against Mark Thayer? The guy's an ass.
Used to be a competent scientist. We actually co-authored a paper together ten years ago. I believe greed has gotten in his way.
Well, I've seen him on the stand. He manipulates evidence.
He manipulates people. The public assumes that scientists are ethical. But many of us are no better than politicians, evidently.
Excuse me Dr. Thayer.
What the hell do you want?
Well, to inform you that you have the right to remain silent. DA is filing charges for perjury and obstruction of justice. We won't be accepting a plea.
This is all your fault.
I hope so.
[After they got done putting red rods into a police car, indicating where the bullets hit it]
Looks like porcupine.
There's not enough room between rods for a human being to fit.
I know. [sighs] Bell and Adams must've been really swervin' and weavin'.
78 bullet holes. And Bell wasn't hit until he got out of the car.
And I heard Bell was a rookie, barely off training. It was just his time I guess.
And what do I get to do? Go back to the lab and wait for a phone call?
This is a running gun battle that started twenty blocks back, you get that.
That's got to be like, a mile, who's with me?
A bunch of pissed off locals with shot-up cars.
[At a community meeting, in a church]
Hello. My name is Doctor Gil Grissom. I'm the night shift supervisor of the Las Vegas Police Department's crime lab. I'm not a police officer, I'm a scientist.
You work for the cops, that makes you a cop. You're not on our side.
Actually, I'm a forensics expert. My job is to collect physical evidence from a crime scene to determine who did what to whom and how did they do it. I've been asked to come here today by the Mayor and Sheriff Berdic to present our analysis of the evidence in this case to your community.
Why here? Why should we believe your evidence?
Physical evidence cannot be wrong; it doesn't lie. It's not influenced by emotion or prejudice, it's not confused by the excitement of the moment. I'm here [looks up] in God's house to explain to you the truth about exactly what happened the other day.
Wow, you had the baby and got your figure back in one day.
No, that's impossible, believe me I know, my wife's had five kids.
Do you ever want to be a cop?
Every time I get a speeding ticket, yeah.
All the hairs lifted off the victim's clothes were consistent with each other. There's a sample under the scope. The root is shaped like a spade which is indicitative of canine. The scale pattern is consistent with a golden retriever.
Oh, yeah the victims have a golden retriever.
Well if you cracked that mystery at the scene, you would have saved me a lot of time. [sighs] I've been working like a dog.
You know studies have found that pet owners have lower stress levels, you should, you should check that out.
Well, I had a hamster when I was growing up. My mother hated them she said they stank out my room. But I just loved to watch them spinning on their little wheels. One day I came home and they were gone. Somehow they'd gotten out of their cage.
How much did your mother hate them?
They ran away.
Edith car in a Lexus neighborhood.
We ran the plates, our girl doesn't live here, we're tracking her down.
Bitch on wheels, can't wait to meet her.
How many hot dogs did he eat?
Approximately twenty.
God. Ugh, do you think we might be able to ID the makers of the hot dog from the ingredients?
No, believe it or not most hot dog companies are very proprietary over their recipes.
Well how about through the girdle marks?
Oh yeah sure, I'll just run it through the Hot Dog Appliance database.
What's a 4-5-0?
That would be sex with a dead body.
You know, Gil, we're all intrigued by our nightmares when we watch freak shows, but basically we're all thinking the same thing.
Yeah, I'm glad they're not looking at me.
