Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Adam Ross

That glass that Dr. Hawkes pulled from our John Doe... it tested positive for Krypton.

Det. Mac Taylor

Krypton?

Adam Ross

Kryptonite was Superman's only weakness.

Det. Stella Bonasera

Well, that explains everything.

Mac Taylor

Tattoo's been removed. Can you lift it?

Sid

I can lift the Titanic if you give me proper tools.

Mac

Stella. Stella. Stella!

Stella Bonasera

(wakes up)...Where's Frankie?

Mac Taylor

Welcome to the house of trinogamy.

Hawkes

Wow, I gotta admit this was not what I expected.

Mac

I'll bite. What were you expecting?

Hawkes

I dunno...lava lamps, weird tapestry, a robo-spanker, maybe a couple of big--

Mac

(cuts him off) All right, all right. I'm sorry I asked.

Stella

Mac, are you seeing this?

Mac

Yeah, a mermaid. Why not?

Lindsay

No throwing this one back.

Mac

This one's a keeper.

Danny

(very upset,charging in) Mac, is this him, the scumbag that killed Aiden?!

Mac

Danny, get out of here.

Danny

Just let me talk to him. Aww. I will get him to crack, I promise you that.

Mac

How?! By tuning him up? Stella's got the case, she knows what to do!

Danny

This is Aiden! She's one of our own, Mac!

Mac

That's why we can't make any mistakes. We do this one by the book, understand?

Danny

(getting calm) All right, I just wanted to help.

Mac

I know. Me too.

Unfortunately, low-lifes know it's Fleet Week also. Servicemen are easy targets because they're easy to spot.

Mac

A uniform isn't a bullseye, it's a badge of honor.

Once a Marine, always a Marine.

Mac

And if you've attacked one of us, you've attacked us all.

How did you know what to do?

Mac Taylor

I've lived through this moment before.

Mac

I'm glad you stayed.

Stella Bonasera

That's what we do; we take care of each other.

Laptops were stolen from an agency car two weeks ago. [Mac scoffs in disbelief] Maybe we could jam the phone somehow, close down the system?

Det. Mac Taylor

It's too late for that; we have a little under ninety minutes. By the time we close down every phone, every radio, every walkie-talkie...

We can close down secure networks.

Det. Mac Taylor

It's not about the networks! Anyone can return a page! There are eight million New Yorkers, six million cell phones, any one of which could trigger the next bomb!

Detective Mac Taylor

So Sam's plan was to propose to someone else on the bridge, then pick up Erica Lancaster to "talk".

Detective Stella Bonasera

Translation: end their relationship.

Detective Mac Taylor

[Shows a picture of Pauline Rayburn] Tell me about Pauline Rayburn.

Don't know her.

Detective Mac Taylor

[Shows a picture of a mummified Pauline Rayburn] Know her now?

[Disgusted] No, I don't. Yo, man, I'm sensitive to graphic material.

I swear to you, I totally forgot about that gun. I wanna make it very clear that I am not a cop killer. It was sincerely intended for anyone else but you, Officer. [pause] That didn't come out right.

Detective Mac Taylor

[Shows a picture of Pauline Rayburn] Tell me about Pauline Rayburn.

Don't know her.

Detective Mac Taylor

[Shows a picture of a mummified Pauline Rayburn] Know her now?

[Disgusted] No, I don't. Yo, man, I'm sensitive to graphic material.

Sid

(during the autopsy) Cause of death was not natural, he was in superb shape, lungs, heart, all the vital organs are near perfect.

Mac

So you're saying... he's actually still alive?

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes

Autopsy results?

Detective Mac Taylor

This is a good one. A runner who somehow has frostbite on his face in 90 degree heat, who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in the middle of Central Park.
