Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Mac

You're not a doctor, you're a murderer with a medical degree.

Mac

I used to sit like this with my wife. Her name was Claire. She died, on 9/11. Nobody saw it coming. I was cleaning out the closet the other day and I found this beach ball. And I remembered it was my wife who blew it up. I never told anybody this, but I got rid of everything that reminded me of Claire; too painful. The one thing I couldn't throw away . . . was that beach ball. Her breath is still in there.

Mac Taylor

[to Stella] Use your head, not your heart.

Mac Taylor

If this is a joke, I'm not laughing. These bones are real.

Mac

Reality rarely lives up to expectation. Especially if you're a teenager.

Mac Taylor

We've got the best forensics tool money can't buy. Snow.

Mac

Let me tell you something about the Mob. Back in their heyday, these old timers, they dealt in death and violence because of one thing: business. Not sport. They were smart. You punks are idiots.

Mac

[to Stella] I love the smell of a cover-up in the afternoon, don't you?

Mac

When the Towers fell and Claire died, it was the clearest definition of what is unjust and unfair in this world, and I was powerless to do anything about it.

Mac Taylor

[to Stella] That's what I like about you; you always get the details right.

Det. Mac Taylor

Once Steve came out of the bathroom, it all would have gone down as you planned it. Except something happened: I walked in. You may be an expert on the manipulation of bistable colorstaric crystals, but you wouldn't know a police officer if one walked right by you. Clark made me the second I walked in.

Mac

It never ceases to amaze me how men of higher education can commit such...stupid crimes.

Det. Mac Taylor

[about a little girl's teddy bear] So did Franklin help out or did he lawyer up?

Det. Mac Taylor

This whole thing was an insurance scam.

Mac

[to Flack] Hey, you're sneezing on my crime scene.
