Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Detective Mac Taylor

[to the suspects] Two crimes, five victims; Emily Miller and Judge Riverton lost their lives, Madison lost her father, and you two lost your future

Mac Taylor

Houston, we have a problem.

Mac Taylor

How do you kill a woman from a prison cell?

Mac

Make no mistake. This woman will be armed and very dangerous. She's a shooter. Killing is nothing more than an instinct. During our last pursuit, I saw her cut down an unarmed civilian without blinkin' an eye, so she will not think twice about putting a bullet in you. Play it smart.

Mac

(to Joe) You're under arrest for the murder of Derek James, Lauren Salinas, kidnapping and attempted murder of a crime scene investigator, armed robbery, grand theft auto, assault and battery. But most of all, for pissing me off.

Detective Mac Taylor

I sense a demonstration coming.

Mac

(to Gillian Whitmore) Inspector, we're both very busy, so simply put, if you tracked me down to ask me to remove myself from the Mac Taylor murder investigation, I'm afraid you gotta endure this mediocre cup of coffee for nothing.

Mac

(about the human traffickers) They get them high, then later depress them, make them passive so they can't fight back, suppress their appetites so they don't have to feed them much. The ecstasy makes them thirsty they want more water which probably laced with yet another drug.

Mac Taylor

You know what they say: keep your friends close, enemies closer, and if that doesn't work, kill 'em.

Mac

Revenge. And the guy who killed him just might have saved your life.

Mac

When one of our own is taken from us, we always get our man.

Mac

(to his team) We're going to work night and day to figure out exactly why this killer chose his victims, and were going to use that connection to catch him before the press gets wind of it and panics the whole damn city over some kind of compass killer. Or worse... before he adds another victim to the map.

Mac

I've got a spare room. (smiling) And it's not up for negotiation.

Mac

(to John Cook) You might be a badass on your neighborhood block, but when you get on the cell block, you'll be just another punk who shot a little kid in the back.

Mac Taylor

Mrs. Travers, did someone in your family do this to you?

Mac Taylor

[to an officer)] Give me that picture over there. Right there. Come on. Come on. Mrs. Travers, I need you to listen very carefully... [pointing to Billy Travers] Is this the person who did this to you?

Mac Taylor

Is this your son? Did your son do this to you?

Mac Taylor

We got to find this kid right away.
