Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Dr. Sid Hammerback

Mac, been meaning to ask. I'd like you to consider coming to our house for Thanksgiving this year. My daughter's coming in, cousins from Philly. We do a really nice job. I use a Collins scalpel to carve the bird, it gets the meat paper-thin.

Detective Mac Taylor

I appreciate the offer, Sid.

Dr. Sid Hammerback

Now you can't spend the holidays alone again. I'll drag you if I have to.

Detective Mac Taylor

You're gonna have to add some meat to that skinny frame of yours if you're gonna be making threats, and I was about to say I do have plans this year, thank you.

Dr. Sid Hammerback

[pause] Oh. I'm intrigued.

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes

You never went home last night, huh?

Detective Mac Taylor

Looks like you didn't, either.

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes

Hey, I've got two miles of bandages to go through. What's your excuse?

Mac

And what was the kid's name?

[Shrugs] Kid.

Mac

What's the kid's name?

[Shrugs] Kid.

Hawkes

You want Gina to participate in the reconstruction? That would mean taking her home, back to the crime scene.

Mac

Gina heard every detail of that crime scene through her body, which makes her our best witness.

[in sign language] You helped me. And I wish I could help you now.

Detective Mac Taylor

[normally] What... makes you think something's wrong?

[in sign language] I speak with my hands. You speak with your eyes.

Detective Mac Taylor

Your husband is a lawyer. Did he have any enemies, or recent problems at work?

[translating for Gina] My husband didn't kill Allison.

Detective Mac Taylor

That wasn't my question.

[translating] You speak with your eyes.

You think I'd marry her? She's deaf.

Mac

You're a real piece of work.

What Detective Taylor meant to say is you're a scumbag with an $80 haircut who killed his girlfriend because she decided to have his baby.

Stella Bonasera

So we're possibly looking at New York City's best-dressed kidnapper.

Mac Taylor

And our kidnap victim is missing.

Mac Taylor

What was he doing during these four hours?

I don´t know. Once a month he tells me to block out four or five hours like that, I never ask. I figured he´s seeing a shrink or something?

Do I have to answer that? I mean, I really don't like talking badly about dead people.

Mac

(enters his office to see Stella and Lindsay waiting for him) Something wrong?

Stella

Lindsay's gonna take off for a little while.

Mac

When?

Lindsay

I leave tomorrow for Montana. A couple of months ago I got a call from the Bozeman's prosecutors office. They apprehend a suspect who was wanted in a multiple homicide ten years ago. Four girls. They were uh... they were friends of mine. I was the only witness.

Mac

And the only survivor as I remember.

Stella

They want her to testify.

Lindsay

I still see their faces. My friends faces. The mothers' faces... I don't know what I'm more scared of. Standing in front of the monster who did this... or seeing those faces. (she gets up as Stella gives her a hug)

Stella

Hey, you take care of youself, kiddo.

Lindsay

Thanks.

Mac

(gives Lindsay a hug) You're tough, Lindsay. You'll pull through this.

Some of those boards are crucial collector's items!

Detective Mac Taylor

And we're collecting them.

Mac Taylor

I think we just found our prime suspect.

I love this job.

Reed

(sadly) I'd like to know where my mom's buried.

Mac

She wasn't. Her body was never found. No trace at all. But they're . . . we're still looking.

Mac

(thinking) Will you walk into my parlor?

Hawkes

Said the spider to the fly.
