Horatio Caine quotes from CSI: Miami

Horatio

But, Eric, as a rule of thumb, off-duty relationships, no matter how well intended, can be seen as a conflict of interest in court. You understand?

Eric

Yeah. But uh...how do you suggest I walk that line?

Horatio

Carefully.

You've never made a mistake, Lieutenant?

Horatio

Not one I was forced to bury.

Hey, I did that guy a favor! He was a retard!

Horatio

Okay, Eugene might have a few things to overcome, I'll give you that, but you know what, Pete? You know what? At the end of the day, he just put you away for life.

Horatio

So you're saying that you left her alone, running for her life?

Yeah.

Horatio

And they say that chivalry is dead.

I'm still one big hurdle ahead of you.

Horatio

What would that be?

The jury. I'm a star, kimosabe, I can convince 12 people of anything.

Horatio

You haven't convinced me, my friend, and that's not a good start.

Celebrity's part of the job, that's the difference between a patrol officer and a glorified trash collector.

Horatio

Is it part of your job tampering with a crime scene?

Horatio

What else did you take?

I took a hat, but that's it.

Horatio

I need that hat.

Hey, it's just a hat.

Horatio

And that's why you're just a patrol cop.

The guy who called this in?

Horatio

Yep. Our Good Samaritan just became a murderer.

Horatio

That's an interesting shovel you have there, did you do some digging lately?

I planted a tree, Detective.

Horatio

Did you use a dead body as fertilizer, Steve?

Calleigh

And we're very good at giving testimony.

Horatio

So Joe, two words: Murder...One.

Hey! So what happens to me?

Horatio

20 years to life.

20 years for stealing counterfeit cash? The money isn't even real.

Horatio

Killing somebody was.

This is all he left behind. [Points to a machine gun.]

Horatio

Because his hands were filled with 3.2 million dollars.

So why would a guy who just robbed an armored truck be parked like a sitting duck?

Horatio

Maybe because I put two in his gas tank.

Horatio...I told you, just because I slept with your brother, does not make us your problem.

Horatio

No, but it makes you my family.

Alexx

His name is Avi Golan, Israeli citizen and look what's listed under occupation.

Horatio

"Import/Export," how organized crime.
