Stella Bonasera quotes from CSI: NY

Danny Messer

It's hot a little bit, eh?

Stella

What the hell are you wearing that jacket for?

Danny

Ah, my mother still dresses me.

I'd say your debutante's been dead about 6 hours.

Stella

Debutante?

I didn't find any lines on her finger to indicate she was wearing an engangement or marriage ring, plus take in her age, dress, time of year, it all equals debutante season.

Stella

Don't tell me. You were an escort?

I attended a debutante ball. [pause] I was waiting tables.

Stella

Do you have a cause of death?

Nope, but I can tell you it wasn't alcohol poisoning, your debutante's BAC was zero.

Hawkes

Debutante?

I didn't find any lines on her fingers to indicate she was wearing engagement or wedding rings, plus age, the dress, time of year, equals debutante season.

Stella

Don't tell me. You were an escort?

I attended a debutante ball. [pause] I was waiting tables.

Stella

I think the Italians got it right. Live to eat, not eat to live.

Danny

That's what I'm talking about.

Mac

I don't believe that for a second.

That's 'cause you're a cop.

Stella Bonasera

No. It's because people lie.

Kia was a winner.

Stella

And her lucky numbers add up to 17 million dollars.

Mac

And 17 million motives.

Goodbye, suicide.

Stella

Hello, murder.

Mac

His belt's undone.

Stella

The woman in heels either knew him or was about to.

Hawkes

I'd say a homeless guy probably living where we found him, in the park.

Stella

Park Avenue, maybe. I've got a really nice pair of pants, a tailor-made shirt, fancy watch, traces of paint and lipstick on the shirt, I'd say he's a very wealthy guy.

Hawkes

Well, he must have found the clothes. The shoes never lie.

Stella

Yeah well, this little watch here is worth four or five grand, quite a find for a homeless guy.

Hawkes

Yeah.

Stella

Let me check missing persons. Someone notices when a guy with money doesn't come home.

Hawkes

The way I see it, homeless people are missing people.

Horatio Caine

Last thing Darius said in Miami, he was coming to New York to make things right.

Stella Bonasera

[Looking at Alexa's body] Think he has?

Mac Taylor

Not even close.

Horatio

That is a stria match.

Stella

The bullets are lining up like the Rockettes at Christmas.

Stella

No girl leaves her house without her cell phone, at least not at that age.

Mac

GPS the phone number.

Stella

[satalite view of a department store] You got it. Tiffany's! Now you're talking my language.

Mac

You can tell from a map?

Stella

Are you kidding, I can tell from the moon. I love those little blue boxes.

Detective Danny Messer

[as he, Lindsay, and Hawkes walks into the crime scene] Got your call. Team's all here.

Det. Stella Bonasera

[sighing] Great, thanks.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

[looking at the brandy glass full of pills on the table] What's with all the pills?

Det. Stella Bonasera

It's a pharm party.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

What's a pharm party?

Det. Stella Bonasera

Pharmaceuticals. Empty your parents medicine cabinet and pop until you drop. Rich kids idea of fun. At first glance I've got Lithium, serdalyne and fluoxatine. Most of these drugs don't even get you high.

Det. Mac Taylor

[walking into the room] Stella and I are going to run with this one. Danny check the service entry area there's an elevator there, secondary exit. Sheldon bag up these bottles get them over to Lindsay she'll be in trace.

Detective Lindsay Monroe

Sir, I've worked big crime scenes before. I've got two hands I'm ready to work.

Det. Mac Taylor

This is a high profile case Lindsay. I want you in the lab and I need your full attention. Remember anything we find here can take us to Darius. Be careful, be thorough.

Lieutenant Horatio Caine

[cuffing him] Vincent Rosetti, you're under arrest for the murder of Lydia Johnson.

Det. Stella Bonasera

And that's just the charge in Florida.

Selling your weapon in Union Square to a stranger, Vincent. That wasn't too bright, was it?

No way I've been in Attaca the last six months on a stolen property bid.

Det. Stella Bonasera

Yeah we know that's where you met up with Henry Darius.

So I was in lockdown with him, big deal.

Lieutenant Horatio Caine

On the contrary, Vincent. It is a big deal.

Det. Stella Bonasera

[about Horatio being served with a notice] Listen, I get named on these things all the time. Our union attorney's great of you want me to give you his number.

Lieutenant Horatio Caine

This is a matter outside the job.

Det. Stella Bonasera

Sorry.

Lieutenant Horatio Caine

I have a number of memories up here and not all are good. So I apologize.
