Eric Delko quotes from CSI: Miami

Eric

Yeah. I didn't want to ask for anybody's help. I ended up making a few mistakes. But every day, it gets a little better. And it'll get better for you, too. Your friends and your family, they just want to be there for you. You're going to be okay, Jolene.

I guess I'll have to be. Somebody stole my other option.

Eric

Calleigh, I wanted to thank you. For taking care of that girl today.

Calleigh

It's no problem. You would have done the same thing for me.

Eric

Yeah. It's just that, uh...you've helped me out a lot this year.

Calleigh

Well, I appreciate you for appreciating me. [She kisses his cheek]

Eric

Who was that, Jake?

Calleigh

Um, yeah, I told him that if people would stop killing each other, we could have a proper meal.

Eric

You're late, pal. What, did you get, uh, stuck in the makeup chair?

Ryan

That's very funny.

Natalia

[About Cole Telford.] Doesn't he work on Jason Billings' boat?

Eric

I guess, when he's not smuggling drugs from Cuba.

Calleigh

Hey, Eric.

Eric

Nice tan.

Calleigh

[Smiles.] Five days in Antigua. First vacation I've had in a long time.

Eric

Yeah? I saw Jake outside. Got the same tan.

Okay, I heard about it on the news. This guy, Julio, who was leading the parade, he was yelling something about paying two million to whoever could bust him out.

Delko

And you just happened to be in the area?

For two million, you bet I was.

What am I supposed to do with a bag of pure heroin?

Delko

Go to jail. Eight to twelve.

Calleigh

Hey, Coop.

Cooper

Hey, what are you guys doing here?

Calleigh

I think that we would like to ask you the same question.

Eric

Let me see your wallet.

Calleigh

Show him your wallet, Dan.

Cooper

[Takes out his wallet.] I don't know what's going on...

Eric

Your name is not Tim Speedle.

Cooper

Eric. Listen to me, OK? It's not what you think.

Eric

[Angry.] Your name is not Tim Speedle! [Eric throws the wallet and credit card on the table and walks away.]

Calleigh

You know what? I would ask you for an explanation, but I just don't think I'd get one.

Cooper

You know I want to be a CSI. And you guys, you speak so highly of the guy. I just thought I'd check Speedle's locker, see what he's all about. And... saw the credit card and it's... not like he'd miss it.

Calleigh

[Confused.] Why'd you use it?

Cooper

There was two hundred dollars credit on there...

Calleigh

Dan!

Cooper

It was free money.

Calleigh

[Getting angry.] You've charged over twenty-three hundred dollars.

Cooper

I... I know, it... it got out of hand.

Calleigh

It's fraud.

Cooper

It was a mistake, Calleigh, it was a big mistake. It won't happen again.

Calleigh

I know. It's over.

Cooper

What are you saying? The Lab, they gave Ryan another chance.

Calleigh

Ryan broke protocol. You have broken the law!

Cooper

Calleigh... Speedle's dead. I mean... no one got hurt.

Calleigh

[Upset.] You don't think Eric got hurt? You don't think I'm hurt? What about the people that Speedle gave his life for?

Calleigh

You have until tomorrow morning to turn yourself in, after that I'm going to put out a warrant for your arrest.

Delko

Tim, it was you this morning [Speed shakes his head yes] It's been a long time.

Yes it has.

Delko

Why are you here?

Well I figured you could use my help. I mean you always did, right?

Delko

[laughs] Alright then help, what am I missing?

What's the first thing you learn on the job?

Delko

How to pad your time card.

The second thing.

Delko

Every person who enters a crime scene brings something in and takes something away.

Even before we call it a scene.

Delko

What are you saying someone took evidence before we even arrived? [Speedle gives him a look] Then how do I find something that's not even here?

Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there.

Eric

The hotel manager tells us that you're each assigned a distinct shape, so the hotel knows who's punching what tag.

Yeah, for accountability.

Horatio

So account for yourself, Luis.

Why would I kill someone?

Horatio

Because you live in Cobra Familia territory.

I'm not in a gang.

Horatio

Maybe this was your ticket in.

Calleigh

I don't know what happened, I was just at a brunch, down the street.

Delko

Are you going to be O.K?

Calleigh

There was a women in that building.

Calleigh

An innocent women.

Delko

Listen Calleigh I gotta ask you something, but I don't want you to take it the wrong way. I know you're off duty, but have you been drinking?

Calleigh

You know the paramedic asked me that question. I had 2 mimosas, but it doesn't have anything to do with what happened, it's my day off.

Delko

You don't have to explain it to me I understand, I believe you. It's just not me you gotta worry about.

Calleigh, you needed to see me.

Calleigh

Yes, I was wondering if you could take those four cans of glass that we got from the crime scene and run them through DNA.

Every piece?

Calleigh

Yeah.

Delko

Yeah, we're gonna need it ASAP, okay?

Sure, and while I'm at it I'll find a way to end global warming and finish that proof of the unified field theory I've been working on.

Alexx

Wait a minute, so the bride went to the bachelor party at a strip club?

Delko

Gentleman's club.

Alexx

What's the difference?

Delko

The difference? I can afford to get into a strip club.

Eric Delko

[pounding on the door; door breaks open] Where is she?

Dan Cooper

I don't know!

Eric Delko

What the hell are you doing, huh? What are you doing, Cooper? [Eric shoves Cooper to the ground]

Dan Cooper

I was just having a little bit of fun, man, all right? Little Miss Perfect needed to be taken down a notch or two. So I videotaped her. So what?

Eric Delko

Videotape? You've been harassing her on the website, and now she's missing.

Dan Cooper

Well, Calleigh's a big girl, she can take care of herself.

Eric Delko

She can take care of herself? You posted her new number on the website!

Dan Cooper

It's not against the law.

Eric Delko

Yeah? What if some felon, what if some felon calls her out to a location, huh? You think about that? [Dan is silent] Yeah, that's what I thought. If something happens to her, Cooper, I'm going to come back here and kill you.
