Danny Messer quotes from CSI: NY

Lindsay Monroe

Can you imagine finding your kid like this?

Danny Messer

No, no, and I don't even want to think about it.

Danny Messer

You're liking the voice mail caller for both Craig's murder and Jeremy's disappearance?

Mac Taylor

At this point, yes.

Sheldon Hawkes

That doesn't bode well for Jeremy.

Mac Taylor

Well, being kidnapped by a psychopath seldom does.

Sheldon Hawkes

The reptile remains we found in the basement were consistent with Bungarus Fasciatus, also known as the Banded Krait.

Mac Taylor

Where did they come from?

Sheldon Hawkes

My guess: Chinatown, black market. 15 minutes on the Internet, anybody can learn how to extract the venom. It's neurotoxic and fast-acting, causing near-instant muscle paralysis in humans. The lucky ones die fast.

Danny Messer

And the unlucky ones?

Sheldon Hawkes

Slow and excruciating respiratory failure. As the diaphragm becomes paralyzed, the victim suffocates. Death can take days.

Danny Messer

So these guys were literally trapped inside their bodies. I mean, unable to move, unable to talk.

Mac Taylor

Allison Scott knew exactly what she was doing. She wanted them to suffer.

Sheldon Hawkes

His vitals look good. He's a little dazed and confused but I think he's gonna be okay.

Jo Danville

If it weren't for these he would be blind right now.

Danny Messer

What the hell happened?

Sheldon Hawkes

Well, he was retrieving the slug from our second sniper vic and all of a sudden, her head just... exploded.

Danny Messer

Exploded?

Sheldon Hawkes

Yeah.

Danny Messer

How's he doing?

Sheldon Hawkes

Well, doctor says he's fine. In fact, I hear he's already back at the office. They told him to take the rest of the week off, but you know Sid.

Danny Messer

Right, right. I mean, he's not happy unless he's looking at dead things.

Danny Messer

It's hard to tell in this place but I am seeing indications of a struggle. And if he took himself out, where's the gun?

Could be under his body.

Danny Messer

(checks) No. No gun here.

Well, I'm no expert but I've seen enough guns in my time to know that they don't just grow legs and walk away.

Danny Messer

No, he didn't commit suicide. Michael Reynolds was murdered. What a life. He gets kidnapped, kept for three years, escapes... only to be murdered 12 years later.

Ah... That better not be poison ivy.

Danny Messer

I'd laugh my ass off.

Danny Messer

Can you believe this? In the middle of the night, and now we have to deal with coyotes.

What is that all about? They've been attacking people in broad daylight too. Between them and the spiders...

Danny Messer

You afraid of spiders?

What? Northern Black Widow spiders, the female's poison, lay you out in two minutes.

Danny Messer

You scaredy cat.

That could be the cause of her death.

Danny Messer

you're a science guy now? Black widow bite would cause vomiting, chest pain, maybe some bad muscle cramps, but is not fatal. Besides, our girl died of suffocation. Not of a little itty bitty scary spider.

[slightly annoyed] Just bag the evidence.

Danny Messer

Yo Mac.

Mac Taylor

Let me guess, she gave you a full confession, our job is done.

Wouldn't that be nice. No, she still won't say a word.

Danny Messer

But, something I found at the crime scene is speaking volumes. Piece of glass from one of those window lamps, actually had human flesh burnt into its surface. Had a hit in Codis to a Pascal Denton. Now, he is the StoneFields window display designer.

Turns out, before he was a designer, he was a regular at Rikers. Did six months for assaulting a police officer.

Mac Taylor

Any connection to the victim?

Danny Messer

Well we found his prints on a rode iron branch used as the murder weapon, and on top of that Groseman fired him a week ago.

Mac Taylor

gives him motive. Still doesn't explain how Elena fits in.

No, but this will. She and Pascal got engaged six months ago.

Mac Taylor

so all this time we thought she was there alone with Groseman, maybe her fiance was there too.

Danny Messer

[After talking about evidence] ok... one more thing, do you wear sneakers inside clown shoes?

Mac Taylor

Are you seriously asking me that question?

Danny Messer

What, no good? What the hell do I know about clowns?

Mac Taylor

Look, I'm a bright man Danny, but I'm afraid I can help you with that one.

Jo Danville

Hey.

Danny Messer

Jo, do you wear sneakers inside clown shoes?

Jo Danville

I don't know, I don't own any.

Danny Messer

Clown shoes?

Jo Danville

Sneakers.

Mac Taylor

Danny, get out of here.

Danny Messer

Inhaling your alcohol... I think I saw this in an episode of The Jetsons.

I'm not a doctor, but that can't be good for you.

Danny Messer

The vapor or the girl?

Yeah...

Danny Messer

I have to say, whoever these women are, I admire their determination.

Jo Danville

You think they did the right thing?

Danny Messer

Eh... I mean, no. But, I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing in their position.

Lindsay Monroe

This is possibly... a leaf.

Danny Messer

Yeah, you better hope is that given where we found it.

Lindsay Monroe

You're gross.

Danny Messer

Huh, you wanted the coat.

Lindsay Monroe

Is that an ass print?

Danny Messer

Honey, what?

Lindsay Monroe

Look.

Danny Messer

Yeah, that does look like an ass print.
