Danny Messer quotes from CSI: NY

Danny

(holding an empty box) Where are the shoes that were in this box?

Amber Stanton

They're gone. I threw them away.

Lindsay

You threw away a pair of four-hundred dollars shoes?

Amber Stanton

Is that against the law? Why do you bother? Mitchell Bentley was a piece of garbage.

Lindsay

You just don't get it, do you? It doesn't matter who the victim is. It's the killer we're after.

Danny

So these guys are mailing the money somewhere.

Sheldon

Smart move. Not keeping the cash on them or in the apartment.

Angell

If you raise the ink from the pouch, maybe we can get an address.

Danny

Oh, what? You doing science now?

Adam

(walks into the room to see Danny smiling) What are you so happy about?

Danny

I figured out what killed my groom.

Adam

Was it the mother-in-law?

Danny

Hahaha, no! It was a missing wedding gift.

Danny

(holding the iPod) So, this is what was used to hijack the train. He attached an MP3 player to the control panel. The sick bastard.

Stella

Ya, well that sick bastard is Mac's stalker.

Mac

Thought I told you to take some time off?

Danny

Oh, yeah, you did. I just don't wanna go home. 'Cause when I go walking down that hallway now, I'm...not gonna hear the kid laughing on the other side of the walls, you know. Crying when he doesn't wanna go to bed. I'm just afraid I'm gonna miss him

Danny

(about Ruben) I saw him. I saw him. He was fine. I saw him. He rode the bike right away from me. I shouldn't have stopped. I shouldn't have stopped. Why did I stop!? I should've made sure the kid got home safe.

Mac

Ruben was a block and a half from your apartment building. There was a man down bleeding. Justin Scott needed your help. You acted on instinct, Danny.

Danny

Oh, man, I wish I hadn't. I wish I hadn't. Oh, I wish I hadn't! He just got his bicycle blessed this morning.

Rikki Sandoval

He's been up since 5:30.

Detective Danny Messer

I got in at 5:30

Rikki Sandoval

He's been up since 5:30.

Detective Danny Messer

(whispers) Yeah, I went to bed at 5:30.

Look, it's all kept under the radar. Invites are small. We each get a book with text numbers. Tell us when and where we're supposed to be. And the party begins. And Foxy, man, makes the game real. Turns Manhattan into Neverland.

Danny Messer

Except nobody dies in Neverland

This party is invitation only.

Danny Messer

(holding up his police badge) I left mine at home.

Mac

(looking at his face) Where'd you get that bruise?

(almost laughing) Oh, this. Few nights ago. Mad party. Mad.

Danny

Apparently the party's, uh, going on 24/7 in your head.

I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir, because I'm not myself, you see.

Mac Taylor

Yeah, well, whoever you are, you have the right to remain silent.

Mac

During the Black Plague, perfumed flowers were stuffed in the pockets of those who perished, to mask the smell of death.

Danny

So that would make this… pocketful of posies, ashes, ashes.

Mac

We all fall down.

Danny

You know what? You should mind your own business.

You're my friend, Danny. It makes it my business.

(outside the bail-bonds buidling) Nice place to play hooky. Personally, I would a gone with the batting cages.

Danny

It's closed for maintenance.

Ollie Barnes is not worth screwing up your career, Danny.

Danny

I give a crap about that cockroach.

Oh, yeah? Then why am I here?

Rikki Sandoval

(about Ollie) If he hadn't robbed that store, Ruben would still be alive.

Danny

I know you think that but if I would a stayed with Ruben, and made sure he got home, he'd be alive. That's all I had to do, was stay with him.
