Danny Messer quotes from CSI: NY

Detective Danny Messer

[Enters Mac's office] Yo, Boss.

Detective Mac Taylor

Danny, what's up?

Detective Danny Messer

I put in for that vacation next month.

Detective Mac Taylor

That's right, the, uh, trip to Costa Rica.

Detective Danny Messer

Yeah, Costa Rica. Well it fell through, so you can put me back on the schedule, alright?

Detective Mac Taylor

Alright, I'll do that. Just let me know when you wanna take the time.

Detective Danny Messer

All right, thanks.

Detective Danny Messer

What's the deal with your funny money?

Dr. Sheldon Hawkes

The value of the fake dollar just went up

Detective Stella Bonasera

You remember yesterday when you asked me if I wanted to break some rules? I do now.

Detective Danny Messer

You want to break some rules?

Detective Lindsay Monroe

[fed up] Come on! You gotta be kidding me! [putting her head in her hands as Messer and Flack enter] Whose stupid idea was this?

Detective Danny Messer

Yours!

Danny

Maybe this time they broke in to dump a car.

Mac Taylor

And a few spare body parts.

Danny

(as she comes out of the bathroom) You okay?... You alright?

Lindsay

... I'm pregnant.

Danny

(Sighs) You sure?

Lindsay

(she hands him a picture of the sonogram)

Danny

How long have you known?

Lindsay

A few weeks.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Danny, I know you.

Detective Danny Messer

What's that supposed to mean?

Detective Lindsay Monroe

I just mean that I'm not expecting anything.

Detective Danny Messer

[following her into the locker room] Lindsay.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Danny, hey... I can't talk right now.

Detective Danny Messer

What's going on?

Detective Lindsay Monroe

What do you mean?

Detective Danny Messer

Come on. I saw you today at the health center. Are you sick?

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Danny, you should go back to work.

Detective Danny Messer

[placing his hands on her shoulders] No, no. No. You should talk to me.

Danny

Thought I saw you runnin' for the exit.

Lindsay

(tearing into the doughnut) Starving. My OB says I should pay attention to my cravings, no matter how inconvenient they are.

Danny

Yeah. Let me ask you something. You have any hereditary disease in your family?

Lindsay

(almost laughing) No. Do you?

Danny

No, no. No. Mental illness?

Lindsay

No.

Danny

No. How about addictive tendencies? Extra fingers, extra toes?

Lindsay

No.

Danny

No. Natural delivery or, uh, drugs?

Lindsay

Either.

Danny

Want a boy or a girl?

Lindsay

Healthy.

Danny

... Will you marry me?

Lindsay

(looks thoughtfully at him) ... No.

Mac

We may be guilty of creating an uban legend, but there's no way this building is guilty of murder.

Danny

Alright. Well if the Empire State Building didn't do it, what did?

Danny

So, you wanna - you wanna tell me why you won't marry me?

Lindsay

I didn't mean I won't. I just think it's the wrong time.

Danny

Wrong time. Wrong time or the wrong guy?

Lindsay

(sighs) Danny. I know I have thrown a lot at you, and we are both feeling really overwhelmed, but whatever we do next, I want it to be for the right reason. Wouldn't you rather walk down the aisle than be pushed?

Danny

Of course.

Lindsay

Okay, 'cause listen, I'm not going anywhere, and I know you're not going anywhere either, okay, but this is not just about you and I anymore. So let's just take baby steps, okay?

Danny

Okay. So, look, before we go inside, I wanna just tell you one more thing, okay. (Holds Lindsay) I just want you to know, that I love you.

Lindsay

I love you too, Danny.

Detective Danny Messer

[standing atop the Empire State Building] I thought the view from Liberty was nice!

Detective Mac Taylor

She's about eleven-hundred feet below us.

Sid

Danny?

Danny

Hey, Sid.

Sid

I got a message from Stella to hold off on the accident report on Laurel Downs, the vic from the bridal store. So I did a little more investigating on the body.

Danny

Find something?

Sid

Well, the cuts on her hand, they were fresh. So, I thought perhaps she fell when she was running, but I didn't find any trace of gravel, grass, or dirt. Also ruled out bite marks and nails, anything that would indicate, uh, you know, a chick fight.

Danny

Right. What about the pictures I sent over from the dress?

Sid

Right. Tried to match the cuts from the ornamentation. Again, no match. So, being a little preoccupied th-the inexplicable, I did some lunchtime OT, and I got a DNA report back.

Danny

Eleanor Ravelle's blood was in the cuts of Laurel Downs' hand?

Sid

Any way Laurel could have killed Eleanor, dumped her in the bathtub, then jogged over to the wedding dress sale?

Danny

No, I mean, the crime scenes are on the opposite ends of town. The T.O.D's are much too close together. Okay… how is this possible?

Sid

Stranger things have been known to happen. Mark Twain was born on the day Halley's Comet first appeared. He died on its next appearance, 75 years later.

Danny

Wow. You've been hanging out with Lindsay, Sid?

Sid

Hmm? What?

Danny

Coincidence. First of all, we find out that Laurel Downs was raped eight years ago by the same guy who killed and raped Eleanor Ravelle and now. I don't know why, Sid, but, I mean, these vics have gotta be connected.

Mac

Det. Angell is working this case until IA is finished with their enquiry.

Danny

Enquiry? Is that what they're calling it?

Stella

They can't possibly think that Flack's responsible for Todd Fleming's death. I mean, he is so by the book. He doesn't even swear.

Danny

Kill a man, and then chop him up into pieces.

Sid

Maybe the killer thought little pieces will be easier to dispose of. There is a certain logic
