Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Mac Taylor

Might be something in there we can use to ID the customer our vic was wrestling.

Lindsay

Well, let me know if find anything. [Mac gives her a look and smiles] I'll get my boots. [Mac nods]

Mac

[looking down the drain] Are you good with a wrench?

Danny

[chuckling to himself] Am I good with a wrench....

Mac

18-hour shift wasn't enough? Now you're catching bodies on the way home?

Danny

Nah, the bodies are catching me.

Mac

This tooth came right from the shark's mouth. So, the person who owned it caught the fish or knew the person who did.

Lindsay

That could be in Australia for all we know.

Adam

Hmm. My friend Grateloupia turuturu would beg to differ.

Mac

Brown algae?

Adam Ross

Strange case, you know. Bar nuts, shark tooth, tropical fish.

Detective Mac Taylor

Beta Splendon. Or Siamese Fighting Fish, to be exact. The brilliant colors are exclusive to males. Males in the same tank will kill each other.

Adam Ross

Ironic.

Detective Mac Taylor

No. Wild Wild Wet.

Adam Ross

[laughs] Whoa. That's a very hip, very salacious Manhattan club. It just kind of popped in your head like that?

Detective Mac Taylor

And your point?

Adam Ross

[flustered] Well... well I just - just didn't think that you would just...

Detective Mac Taylor

The bar's over on Broadway near Chelsea University, Fighting Fish on every table. It's a short train ride from where Randy Williams was found.

Adam Ross

[impressed] Ah you're the man, you can hang anywhere you want, huh?

Detective Mac Taylor

I was at the scene of a crime, Adam. The bouncers went a little overboard, ended up killing some kid from Staten Island. Shrimp cocktail is fantastic. Get me something more on that tooth.

Mac Taylor

You guys are on the music promoter.

Danny Messer

Like glue. [Mac walks away laughing]

Lindsay Monroe

He doesn't think that's funny. He's humoring you.

Danny

You don't know him like I do.

Danny

[bringing in some of the exotic cuisine] Who's going first?

Stella

You gotta be kidding.

Pass!

Hawkes

Uh-uh.

Lindsay

It's just protein. [takes a bite of fried tarantula and everyone looks on]

Mac

[smiling and holding out hand to Danny] Told you she'd do it.

Danny

[handing five dollars to Mac] All right, all right, here you go.

Mac

Okay! Pizza in my office. [Everyone but Lindsay and Danny leaves]

Lindsay

You bet Mac I wouldn't do it?

Danny

Yeah, what was I thinking? Never bet against a country girl.

Lindsay

[eating more] You know, actually it's not that bad.

Mac Taylor

It sounds to me like you're starting to believe in the superstition.

Lindsay

I believe in the science.

You know what? I don't care that she used me. I loved her. I guess that makes me a chump, right?

Mac

No. [They shake hands]

Mac Taylor

(looking at Lindsay) Put your affinity for bugs to work

Lindsay

(sheepishly) I don't actually have an affinity for bugs.

Mac

The beetles were the first on the scene, we need to know what they know. (points at Lindsay) And no eating.

I heard a rumour you found our intern, Ryan Elliot.

Mac

He's on his way to autopsy now.

Did you, uh, happen to find anything else?

Mac

You wanna gimme a hint as to what exactly you're looking for, Flack?

An igloo cooler with a human liver inside it.

Detective Mac Taylor

Please.

Tony the Midtown Fisherman

[to Danny] You see that? A little politeness goes a long way

Detective Mac Taylor

Now you had something Mr. Beaumont. Something that some of us who recently lost a loved one never had. Time. Time to make the most of what was left. That's what's precious.

You have very beautiful eyes, y'know that?

Thank you, now why don't tell me about the night you got collared.

You got a girlfriend?

Who did you give your gun to, Angie?

I've been here before. Some cop or D.A. gets me to tell 'em what they need to know, makes a lot of promises, and how they're gonna get me out, a week later I'm still here in the same kind of trouble I was in before I said anything.

We'll work something out. Would these eyes lie?

Stella Bonasera

When you were a little kid, did you ever tie a towel around your neck, pretend to be a superhero. A little Mac-man?

Mac Taylor

Seargent Rock. You couldn't get me out of fatigues when I was a kid.

Hawkes

Hey, guys! The stains on the money in Clark's drawer came back as Phenylene diamine, Naptha, Timemethylbenzene and a variety of coloured dyes.

Mac

Consistent with shoe polish.

Stella

You are good!

Mac

Me and Black-49 dye go way back. In the Marines, your shoes had to shine as brightly as your brass.
