Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Mac

(To himself) Now, this, I missed (Raises voice and calls out) Adam!

Adam

Hey, boss! Welcome back.

He does have just over 12 grand in a savings account.

Mac

Where does a college kid like him get money like that?

I could think of a few ways, none of which are legal.

Hawkes

Hey, Mac... results on the smudge Sid collected from the victim's face.

Mac

(Reading from the screen) Ink, glass cleaner, mineral oil... auto degreaser.

Hawkes

Yeah. I'm not sure what it means, either.

Mac

You get the name of the tattoo parlor this lotion came from?

Hawkes

Mac... you haven't been gone so long that we've forgotten how to do this.

Lindsay

Mac, what would you say if I told you I could quadruple your money?

Mac

You trying to talk me back into retirement?

Mac

I'd say, it sounds too good be true, not to mention illegal.

Lindsay

Oh, it's definitely illegal. You got five bucks on you?

Mac

Five bucks? (Retrieving his wallet) This better be good.

Mac

The apartment search turn up anything?

Adam

Yep... auto greaser, ink jet printer, scanner, glass cleaner, hair dryer... everything you need for printing counterfeit money.

Mac

Well, the problem is, everything you just listed is also a regular household item, easily explained away.

Adam

Everything but the scanned image of the $20 bill.

Jo

I always tell my kids that the only reason evil exists is so that good can triumph over it.

Mac

If it didn't, we'd be out of a job.

Danny

Wow. I can, uh... return to normal duty.

Mac

You're not relieved.

Danny

Of... I mean, of course I am. I am. But I can't stop thinking, Mac, how I treated these cops like they were my family, and they didn't think twice about throwing me to the wolves. I've been doing this job way too long (Sighs) I got to work with people I can trust.

Danny

Can't believe this, Mac. You know, I figured I could be a good boss, to guide these cops, help them avoid the mistakes I made.

Mac

The last time you dealt with Internal Affairs, I called you into my office. You remember?

Danny

(Sighs) Yeah, I remember. They decided not to investigate me on the shooting in the subway, thanks to you. You brought me into your office, you ripped me a new one for my recklessness... which I deserved.

Mac

You're not the same cop as then. You've grown. You're an excellent boss, Danny. If you were my sergeant, I'd follow you anywhere, and that's what I intend to tell Adler when he walks in here.

Lindsay

I just found out they're putting Danny on modified assignment.

Mac

It's part of procedure, Lindsay. It doesn't mean anything.

Lindsay

But there's going to be a hearing, and maybe even criminal charges. This is like a natural disaster, Mac. You see it coming, and you can't do anything to stop it.

Mac

Yeah, I know it feels like that now, but there's a long road to go before anything's decided here.

Lindsay

Danny's career is on the line, and I don't even know why. He didn't do anything wrong.

Mac

I know.

Mac

You weren't shot this morning. You were shot two nights ago. After your involvement in a brawl outside Rattigans. A cop was shot at that night.

You can talk to us now, or we can have you transferred to the medical ward at Rikers. Where I guarantee you the nurses are not as cute.

On my way to the subway this morning, out of nowhere, someone shoots me. Must have been a stray.

Mac

Didn't call 911?

I only live a couple blocks away.

So what, you hopped here?

Mac

Pete Miller didn't fire the gun. He was standing next to the guy who did.

Lauren Cooper

It was an accident. I was aiming for the shooter. It was a good shoot.

Don't say anything else.

If it was a good shoot, you wouldn't have lied about how it went down.

Lauren Cooper

I wanted to tell the truth.

Mac

Then why didn't you?

Lauren Cooper

I was told not to.

Mac

By who?

Lauren Cooper

It wasn't his fault. He was trying to protect me.

Mac

Who told you to lie?

Lauren Cooper

Sergeant Messer.

Jo

Maybe our suspect is still running around with the green fairy.

Mac

We're talking about a suspect who walked up to a random stranger and blew him away.

Jo

Well, guy's not playing with a full deck.

Mac

But he's got a loaded gun.

Mac

So, there were two guns. Pete Miller used one of them. Friends must have taken it when they fled.

Hawkes

Flack's trying to track 'em down, but all he has is the cops' descriptions to go by. No luck so far.

Mac

There's one thing I bet the friends didn't take when they ran.

Hawkes

Hmm?

Mac

The bullet Pete fired.
