Jo Danville quotes from CSI: NY

Adam Ross

I need your signature on this, boss.

Jo Danville

I told you not to call me that.

Adam Ross

Well, whose signature do I need at the bottom of this report?

Jo Danville

Mine.

Adam Ross

Then you're the boss.

Jo Danville

Interim boss.

Adam Ross

I'm not gonna call you interim boss.

Jo Danville

Well, that's what I am, at least until Sinclair fills Mac's position.

Jo Danville

It never hurts to have a confession.

That shouldn't be too difficult. Those two aren't exactly brain surgeons. They'll give it up. Hardest part might be keeping their names straight. The white guy's name is Mike Black. They call him White Mike. The black guy's name is Mike White. His street name is Black Mike.

Jo Danville

I'll take Black Mike.

Great. I got Mike Black.

The white guy. Don't think about it. But trust me, it's right.

Mac Taylor

I'm just imagining how cluttered that desk of yours must be now, now that you're the boss.

Jo Danville

Oh! Interim boss. It's your desk. Although I wish you could've seen their faces when I moved a few things in there. It was like I had just taken over Joe DiMaggio's locker.

Jo Danville

It was... but we both know I'm just keeping the seat warm for you until you come back.

Mac Taylor

I'm not coming back, Jo.

Mac Taylor

Hey, Jo.

Jo Danville

Yeah?

Mac Taylor

Measure twice, cut once.

Jo Danville

I know. I know. Look at everything again... every report, every crime scene photo. Answer's in there somewhere.

Jo Danville

That ring around the blood spot is called skeletonization.

Why don't they just call it a ring?

Jo Danville

Okay, that's it. Forget it. I give up.

Sorry, it would be much more interesting if you guys used smaller words.

Jo Danville

We've known each other for about a year now, Don. I have never told you this, but I think you're one hell of a detective.

Thanks, Jo.

Jo Danville

You're welcome.

Jury's still out on you, interim boss.

Jo

What was that all about?

Adam

What?

Jo

Sheldon, money.

Adam

Oh. Hawkes had him pegged coming back November 30 or earlier.

Jo

Which means you must have had him coming back after November 30.

Adam

Uh, kind of, yeah.

Jo

What do you mean, kind of?

Adam

Uh, kind of, as in... (Clears throat) ... erm, never.

Jo

You mean you thought Mac Taylor was never coming back to this crime lab? How come you didn't let me in on this bet? I'd have cleaned up on all you fools.

Jo

Hey!

Mac

No Good to see you, Mac? Welcome back to the lab? Nothing?

Jo

(Chuckles) I never thought you were gone in the first place.

Jo

You forgot you broke into your boyfriend's apartment, where he was later murdered while you were conveniently asleep in his back bedroom, is that right?

I was in shock. I... I wasn't thinking straight

Jo

About the break-in or about the murder?

I didn't think you'd believe me. I've gotten in trouble before.

Jo

Shoplifting... fake ID... nothing that forecasts murder. But I could be wrong.

Jo

Tyler, before I hear about the new roommate, what happened to the old one?

I had to kill him. I asked him who his favorite player on the Knicks was, he said Woody Allen.

Jo

See, that's funny. I like him.

You don't trust my judgment.

Jo

I trust you. It's just this Alex... Kirkland person. What's his major, anyway?

(Chuckles) Art. I know. Scary, okay?

Jo

Adam, how many college roommates did you have?

Adam

Uh, whew... okay. Let's see, first, there was Todd, but that ended with the whole atomic cat eye incident.

Jo

Atomic cat eye incident?

Adam

Yeah, you know, when like, someone drinks too much, and they pass out, and you, like, sneak up and...

Jo

I don't really want to know. Just ballpark it for me.

Adam

Uh... 12, I guess.

Jo

12 roommates?! Any of them ever get arrested?

Adam

Todd, and it was for public indecency (Chuckles).

Jo

Tyler's moving in with a new roommate.

Adam

Oh, man! You broke the Mom code and looked him up?

Jo

Well, I didn't get any specifics. The juvie record's sealed.

Adam

(Reading from Jo's computer screen) Trespassing and criminal mischief. Hmm. Looks like you guys got something in common (Smiles teasingly).
