Lindsay Monroe quotes from CSI: NY

Lindsay

Dante Gunther and Liza Carpenter have to be connected somehow.

Hawkes

They both died of radioactive thallium poisoning at around the same time. Other than that, I still do not see a connection.

Lindsay

What if they just randomly crossed paths?

Hawkes

Few seconds at a public place, unaware of each other, not knowing that they came into contact with something contaminated? If that's true, how many more people out there have no idea how sick they are?

Lindsay

(about Sid) His condition will get worse if we don't figure this out fast. Radiation can eat through every organ in your body. There's got to be something we can do.

Mac

There is. Let's get back to the lab and try to figure out what took Liza Carpenter's life before it takes his.

Lindsay

Some kind of preservation technique?

Mac

No, no. It's a process used to repair books after water damage.

Danny

Oh, that could be the link between our vics. The mold I pulled from Liza Carpenter's sandal came back as stachybotrys.

Mac

Black toxic mold.

Danny

Right. Thrives on stagnant water, and is mostly found in water-damaged buildings.

Lindsay Monroe

Wow. Okay. How weird was that? There's no way that one of these could replace a real woman!

Oh I don't know, Linds. They're not bad looking. Think of all the money your guy could save on dinner.

Lindsay Monroe

(suddenly upset) A doll?! I mean, I could understand if you dumped me for a real woman but a piece of plastic?! What does she have that I don't have, huh?

(to sidewalk-cafe customers) Forgive my wife. She's not well. (to Lindsay as the walk) Imma get you for that, Monroe. Big-time.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

[Enters Mac's office] Mac. Hey. Remember that wedding in Italy I told you about in March?

Detective Mac Taylor

Girlfriend from college?

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Very good. Well, they decided to postpone. So.

Detective Mac Taylor

You want back on the schedule?

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Yeah.

Detective Mac Taylor

[Suspicious look] No problem.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Thanks.

Mac

So let me get this straight. People take the time to put down their darkest secrets and then they send them to someone they don't even know. Two questions: why and why?

Lindsay

They say confession is good for the soul.

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

(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.

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 Lindsay Monroe

[catching her] Stella! Aren't you the uh... the official safety officer at the lab?

Detective Stella Bonasera

Yes, that is my proud unpaid position. Why?

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Well I've got this umm... friend, she works upon a forensics lab in New Jersey, and... she's pregnant.

Detective Stella Bonasera

Oh, good for her.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Yeah, except she is nervous because you know all the chemicals and the processes that we do you know that could really harm the development of the baby, right?

Detective Stella Bonasera

That's true. But there is also so many different safety protocals in place. Goggles, face shields, fume hoods. I mean, not to meantion all the training and retraining we have to go through. I'm sure she'll be fine.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

[nodding] Seem's like she's in a little over her head.

Detective Stella Bonasera

Well, she's is not alone, right? I mean, the baby has a father?

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Yeah, yeah and he is great. It's just... you know I don't really know how ready he was for any of this so... well it's complicated.

Detective Stella Bonasera

And beautiful. Listen Lindsay, umm... I'm sure if your friends' coworkers are anything like yours, they'll understand the situation and work with her, even be happy for her. It's gonna be okay.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Thanks.

Detective Stella Bonasera

You are welcome. Hey, umm... tell your friend congratulations.

Mac

(seeing the table set with a variety of foods) Tell me this is not one of your weird cravings.

Lindsay

Only for science.

Mac

You were looking for me?

Lindsay

I was hoping to offer you a little a snack.

Mac

Well let me guess. This is another one of your famous reconstructions.

Lindsay

Just put one of these berries in your mouth and swab it around for a couple of seconds.

Mac

Lindsay I'm your boss, not a guinea pig.

Lindsay

Mac, I'm pregnant. Just humour me.

Lindsay

How does a worm from Brazil end up in a bathtub in Brooklyn?

Mac

Worms are like humans. You wanna know exactly where they came from, you can sequence their DNA.

Lindsay

We are talking wormtopsy.
