Adam Ross quotes from CSI: NY

Danny

Hey, get your head in the game, kid. You're better than that.

Adam

Are you kidding me? Who just got nailed in the corner over there, all right? Get the puck along the boards!

Danny

Just keep your skates up against the post. You learn that in peewee league.

Hey, hey, hey, shut up, the two of you. We are not losing this game. We got two minutes left. Danny, I need you strong on the forecheck. Adam, nothing gets past you. Focus, baby. Focus. Let's go, boys.

Jo

Adam, you've been at this how long?

Adam

Oh, I'd say about, uh, three, four years now (Chuckles)

Jo

Well, he has to be in the crowd. Arsonists are sick people. They disregard risk to thumb their nose at authority, and they love to watch their work.

Adam

Maybe he doesn't. I mean, look at Johnny Depp. He doesn't watch any of his movies.

Adam

You ever run away from home?

Hawkes

No. You?

Adam

Few times. Yeah. I even, uh... I even ran away to be with this girl once. Yeah. Uh, except she, um... she only lived across town, and, uh, these two other guys showed up. Yeah. Ugh. It was crowded.

Adam

If he was able to get onto Hamilton's boat to steal it, why not just lie in wait and shoot him there? Why wait six months?

Mac

Nerve. You've got to talk yourself into it. Then there's the planning. You don't want to mess up. Or maybe the public event. The publicity is something he's after.

Adam

And then there's the elephant in the room.

Mac

The irony that a man could be shot with his own stolen gun.

[as Adam is recalling the story in a police station] Wait. Are you kidding me? I thought you said this story was about a princess, not some cops chasing some dude.

Adam

It is. I'm just setting it up. Okay? See? It's called backstory.

Well, how about getting to the front story?

Drain the pond? How long is this gonna take?

Adam

Uh, well, not nearly as long as a lineup takes. Your mom's gonna be... at least another hour, and I don't see anybody rushing over here to take my report, so I think we're stuck.

If you're a cop, why can't you report your stolen car to yourself?

Adam

Well, 'cause I'm not a cop. No, I mean, I work with cops. Yeah, I do cop stuff, but I'm a... I'm a Crime Scene Investigator.

Adam

I found particles combined of nickel, iron and olivine.

Mac

Space dust.

Adam

That's right, M.T. okay? This is not of this earth.

Nuh-uh.

Adam

Uh-huh.

Nuh-uh.

Adam

Uh-huh.

So did the prince do it or not?

Even if he did the crime, he won't be doing the time.

Adam

Whoa, my story, my moral.

You heard aliens talking?

Adam

You know, who knows? I don't even know if they have mouths. All I know for sure is that it's some form of communication. Sounds waves from the middle of the spaceship. Which means I've discovered first contact. Boo-yah.

So the princess and the prince get killed?

Adam

No, he wasn't killed. He just was in no shape to talk

Adam

(About the piece of spaceship) Do you know what this could do?

Sid

Uh, protect a tabletop from a wet drink.

Adam

Launch an industry, okay? Graphic novels, tv series, movie, theme parks, restaurants. I already got a name for it. Area 52. The A and the R are capitalized, because...

Sid

Oh, Adam Ross.

Adam

What up?
