Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Danny

Our buddy Frankie... he never met a piece of paper he didn't like.

Hawkes

I guess they didn't teach organization at Quantico, huh?

Mac

This isn't just sloppiness. It's obsession.

Lindsay

It's pink ivory. It's one of the three rarest varieties on the planet. It's grown almost entirely in Southern Africa and it's the sovereign tree of the Zulu Nation.

Mac

Should I put a BOLO out on the Zulu royal family?

Lindsay

The traditional weapon from Southern Africa is called a knob kerrie. It's a cross between a club and a walking stick.

Mac

Similar to the Shillelagh in Ireland, considered a gentleman's weapon.

Mac

How much did you pay her?

I'm a United States Senator!

Mac

How much did you pay her to frame John Curtis for rape?

Yes, add that to my... my list of felonies. I'm going to ask you to leave now.

Mac

And I'll come back with a warrant.

What would you do, Detective? If your daughter was violated the way mine was. He was gonna rape again, unless someone took the initiative.

Mac

And so you hired Ali to trap him.

Oh, God, I should've just gunned him down myself.

(At the crime scene of a burnt body) Hope you skipped breakfast.

Mac

That bad?

Worse. Our vic is Ryan Richards, 25 years old.

Mac

How do we know?

That's his melted driver's license right there.

Mac

I've seen a few matches. That's a brutal sport.

It's an excuse for two grown men to legally beat the bloody pulp out of each other.

Mac

So you're not a fan?

I didn't say that.

Large French roast, black, paired with a blueberry scone. That is how you like your coffee, right?

Mac

I gave up coffee a year ago and I'm severely allergic to blueberries.

Of course you are. Seems your buddy Flack is quite the practical joker.

My name's Jennifer Walsh. I'm a freelancer with the Journal. I'm writing next month's cover story.

Mac

Uh, interview requests are made through the Public lnformation Office.

Truth is, I'm not a big fan of the rules. They seem to get in the way of what I want.

Mac

Did Flack tell you to tell me that, too? 'Cause I am a big fan of the rules.

All I'm asking is for five minutes of your time. You owe me that at least, considering I did try to poison you with blueberries.

Mac

Fair enough. What's your article about?

The NYPD's inability to police themselves. Specifically in matters of officer misconduct.

Mac

Ms. Walsh... (Chuckles) I have no official comment about that.

Some people say that your rigid adherence to department policy is more pliable than you let on. That you've been known to look the other way and be creative with those policies on more than one occasion.

Mac

They're entitled to their opinion.

And so are you. I came to hear your side of the story.

Mac

There is no story. I do my job to the best of my ability and I expect the same from all the officers under my command.

Mac

Ryan Richards was struck in the head, shot in the back, then lit on fire

Sid

That's what I call overkill.

Yeah, the VIP pass was mine. But I was too busy last night in the cage to be using it.

Mac

Then who'd you give that pass to?

I don't remember. All right. Fine. I sold it to some guy in the parking lot.

Jo

What did he look like?

Looked like he was eager enough to give me 300 bucks for it.

Mac

How did you get up here?

I took your advice and called the Public lnformation Office. They were surprisingly accommodating when I dropped your name.

Mac

The flowers are beautiful but I can't accept them.

Well, I'm sure whoever sent them will be devastated.

Mac

You didn't send these?

(Chuckles) Flowers aren't my style. If I was gonna bribe you, I'd offer a tub of popcorn and court side Knicks tickets.

In case you're wondering, I am free for dinner later tonight.

Mac

I wasn't.
