Mac Taylor quotes from CSI: NY

Detective Mac Taylor

[Danny and Mac are following the coroners to the elevator and see the DA waiting for them on it] [clears his throat] Personal visit from the DA's office?

Detective Danny Messer

What happened? You got lost on your way to a press conference? Or are you just checking up on us?

Mac Taylor

I read your preliminary report. Good job, Danny, you're on the promotion grid.

Danny Messer

I can't wrap my head around it, Mac. I mean you get up, you go to work. You see the people you know. You talk, you laugh. You're livin' your life and suddenly, boom, it's over. Just like that, and you never saw it comin'.

Mac

The place was closed?

11 on the dot.

Danny

Sounds like an inside job.

Mac

Then that's where we'll start.

Stella Bonasera

There's something gooey here.

Mac Taylor

Gooey? There's a good forensic word. Gooey. I'll have to use that more

Mac

Some sort of 'gooey' residue on the top of the piece of paper.

Stella

[smirks] Great choice of words.

Stella

With all this rain, it's not like Mother Nature's playing ball.

Mac

Then it's time to change the game.

Mac

And you're sure this came from Hummel's gun?

Danny

Absolutely. He doesn't deny discharging his weapon.

Mac

But ... ?

Danny

If Marvin's story is true about what happened, and he was shooting at the bad guys -- this bullet discharged from his gun and stopped midair and then turned left and then hit the pillar.

Mac

A paranoid schizophrenic's worst nightmare.

Stella

He doesn't just think we're out to get him. We are.

Danny

With all this cash lying around, you'd think a guy could afford new rounds.

Mac

With all the evidence we've collected, you'd think we could find Charles Langdon.

Det. Mac Taylor

Somebody went to a lot of trouble to file those serial numbers off.

Aiden Burn

And I went to a lot of trouble to acid etch them back on.

Mac

You're a fine CSI, Stella. I can honestly say, I wouldn't do this job without you.

Stella

Yes, you would. You just wouldn't be as good.

Mac

[smiles] Maybe.

Stella

We haven't had a fight like that in a long time. Reminds me of the old Mac Taylor.

Mac

What old Mac Taylor is that?

Stella

The one who let his heart out of his chest every once in a while.

Willie and I just picked any pig cop. An eye for an eye.

Det. Mac Taylor

You shot a New York City police officer. He wasn't just a cop, he was somebody's son. He made somebody proud at home. When you shot him through the back, you shot those people through the heart. [Mac stands up] From where I stand... you're the one that should be put to death. No trial, no jury. Eye for an eye.

I'm telling you, Mac, she killed Rachel Camden.

Mac

What's your rush to put this woman away?

You saw her. What's your rush not to?

Mac

In all my years of doing this, there's one thing I've learned. Sometimes the slam dunks are the most deceiving.

Det. Stella Bonasera

Uh-oh.

Detective Mac Taylor

What?
