Lindsay Monroe quotes from CSI: NY

Lindsay

Hey, but coincidences happen. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, they both died on the same day exactly 50 years after signing the Declaration of Independence.

Mac

Stella.

Stella

I hear you, Mac.

Danny Messer

[during an autopsy of a decapitated man] Mr. Potato Head! The live version.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

More like the bloody, dead version!

Dr. Sid Hammerback

I used to play with Mr. Potato Head as a boy. I would time myself, see how long it took to assemble him. Some would say I was... obsessed!

Danny Messer

You? Obsessed? Nooo!

Hawkes

Honestly, I think what Danny's doing is selfish.

Lindsay

Really? Well, I see it as committed.

Hawkes

Seems to me he has a lot of other things to commit to right now, not to mention it's irresponsible to risk suspension when you are expecting a baby.

Lindsay

Hawkes! You transferred over from the ME's office, which means you are not a sworn NYPD. There was no decision for you to make. You can not say for sure what would you do.

Hawkes

Yes, I can. If I earned a distinction of being a detective, I'd be here whether or not the city can afford to pay me.

Sid

So, how do you feel? It's your last case, right? Then off to Montana.

Lindsay

Feels pretty good.

Sid

I bet it does. No bodies at 3 am. No double shifts with no sleep. A slice of pizza on the run.

Lindsay

Constipation, swelling in the feet. Help getting up from the chair. Constant urination. Wanna switch?

Sid

I already have all that. I just want the time off.

Lindsay

(as she and Danny arrive outside the City Clerk's office) ... Danny.

Danny

Look: I'm tired of being afraid, alright? You and me, we make sense, 'kay? You're everything I've always wanted. I want to be with you, and I can be the guy you want me to be. I know I can, I am that guy.

Lindsay

(close to tears) I know you are.

Danny

Then let's walk through this door together. 'Cmon, let's do it. Let's take that leap. (looks at her hopefully)

Lindsay

(kisses Danny) ... You got a money order?

Danny

(kisses Lindsay and hugs her, smiling, before they enter the clerk's office)

Lindsay

Adam, go get a set of keys to a car, any car. Meet me in the garage in five minutes. My water just broke. (as Adam's looks dumbstruck) I'm about to go into labor and you are taking me to the hospital. Go!

Adam

Okay. (walks off in the wrong direction)

Lindsay

Adam...

Adam

(comes back and goes the right way) Yeah, wrong way, sorry, j... just relax. Everything's going to be okay.

Lindsay

What if some people just aren't cut out to be parents?

Stella

Well, the fact that you already thought about all this tells me that you're gonna do just fine, Linds.

Lindsay

What?

Mac

What are you doing here? Where is Lucy?

Lindsay

She is in ballistics, analysing stria. (They both smile) Look, I have been here exactly 2 hours, I'm leaving in 40 minutes, I just wanted to fill in a few blanks in the case. You are paying me to work part-time, besides this lab would fall apart without me. (They laugh again)

Danny

How's Lucy?

Lindsay

She's great. Her first visit to the lab is a big hit.

Danny

(looking across the hall to where Lucy is surrounded by admirers) What, uh...what's Blake doing right now?

Lindsay

Oh, he's so good with babies. She adores him.

Danny

No, she doesn't adore him. The only man in her life is me. (going over To Blake) Hey, buddy! Don't you have some DNA to look at?

Adam

(as Lindsay chuckles) Watch out, Blake, here comes daddy!

Lindsay

10 percent chance of walking? You told me it was 60.

Danny

I just didn't want to scare you.

Lindsay

You know what scares me, Danny? It's the fact that you think you need to lie to me.

Lindsay

Now don't get too comfortable in that chair.

Danny

Well, it's been a month and I haven't felt a thing. Nothing, no movement, no tingling. Nothing.

Lindsay

Danny, you gotta be patient.

Danny

We gotta start thinking that this might be the way it is, is what we gotta do.

Lindsay

Doctor said there's no permanent damage to your spine. Inflammation from the gunshot wound is causing temporary paralysis.

Danny

Yeah, but how do you forget the words like 'more than likely, best case scenario, 60% chance of recovery'? How do you do that?

Lindsay

Well, for one, I'm an optimist. For another if you don't recover, I'm going to kick your butt.

Lindsay

(rushing into the lab) Sorry I'm late. The sitter was stuck in traffic.

Hawkes

(looking at her t-shirt) Whitesnake, huh?

Lindsay

Baby throw up on everything else.

Lindsay

(as she sees Danny doing pull ups) Danny! What are you doing?

Danny

Processing the vic's phone.

Lindsay

Oh, of course. What was I thinking?

Danny

Flack had the vic's phone pinged. We found it in a dumpster. Waiting on DNA results from the trace I found. I figured I'd get a little pump in.

Lindsay

Don't you have physical therapy today?

Danny

Yeah, yeah, so I'm getting ready for it. (as she just looks at him) What? You see Lucy lately, huh? She's standing up in her crib, cruising along the walls of the apartment. She's gonna walk soon, Lindsay.

Lindsay

Danny, please tell me you're not competing with our ten-month-old daughter.

Danny

No, I'm not competing with our daughter. All right? I'm just sick and tired of being in this chair. I want to run through Central Park with my daughter on my shoulders, okay? I want to chase down boys who try to hit on her. I want to dance with you and her at her wedding. So, if you don't mind... (preparing for another round)

Lindsay

(placing her hands at the sides of his neck, caressing it, and leaning in) I don't mind at all.

Lindsay

What are you thinking?

Danny

(eyes a stained Hawaiian hula-doll on the dashboard) Besides the fact that you and I have never had a honeymoon, I'm thinking that might be blood.

Stella

(entering with a mug in her hands) I just finished my third cup of coffee. Figured you could probably use one.

Lindsay

Oh, thanks, Stella. Thought we weren't supposed to drink in the lab?

Stella

We aren't, but at some point, the human body either requires sleep or massive quantities of caffeine.

Lindsay

God bless you.
