Jamie Lovato quotes from CSI: NY

Jamie Lovato

(After interrogating Epps) Real charmer that one

Probably a Mets fan.

Jamie Lovato

Do you want me to give you a head start like him before I kick your ass? Or would you like to take your chances?

You got to be kidding me.

Jamie Lovato

Welcome home, Yankee. I thought your desk could use some sprucing up.

Jo

I'm sure there's still a lot of people in this neighborhood who'd love to see him dead.

Lindsay

Probably most of all Tommy's parents.

Jo

I'm curious to hear how they'd take the news of his murder.

Jamie Lovato

That's if it's news to them at all.

Jamie Lovato

You like shooting young girls with old guns?

I never shot anybody.

Of course not. You're a good guy. Let's see. Sam Cross, 25 years old. Highlights include: assault, armed robbery and burglary. So, tell me, what made you graduate to murder?

I'm just a stickup guy. I never graduated to nothing.

Jamie Lovato

I can't imagine why.

That's not even my gun... I found the damn thing.

Jamie Lovato

That's the lame-ass story you're gonna go with?

It was just... lying there. Lying.

Jamie Lovato

Lying. That's an interesting word choice.

Yeah, well, you know what? A free piece comes your way and you take it.

Mac Taylor in the lounge with the Glock.

Jamie Lovato

You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

I recognized your number on the vic's caller I.D. I know it was you on the other end of that line. The phone log shows you called the vic 17 times today, all within a few hours of the poor bastard being cut in half.

Jamie Lovato

Look, I didn't do anything wrong.

Convince me.

Benny the Bull. 33 years old. He's got priors for possession, distribution, assault, all kinds of weapons charges. This guy's been in and out of jail since he was 15 years old.

Jamie Lovato

He was one of the subjects on an undercover narco case I was on before I got transferred into homicide.

Mac

What was the assignment?

Jamie Lovato

Infiltrating a crew of local Trinitario gang members, gathering intel for a joint NYPD/DEA task force.

Mac

So, the question is, who did she report to after seeing you?

Let's pick her up and find out.

Jamie Lovato

We can't. I don't know her name.

Mac

But you do know where she was sitting on the bus.

I never would have pegged you as an undercover. I guess that's kind of the point though, isn't it?

Jamie Lovato

Yeah. Kinda.

Jamie Lovato

You know, the view inside wasn't what I expected. After a while, targets stop looking like targets and they started looking like... ordinary people.

Ordinary people who sell drugs to kids and solve their problems with a chain saw.

Jamie Lovato

Boys like that get recruited as young as nine. Now, that's not an excuse for what they grow up to become and things that they do. They join 'cause they want to feel loved, accepted, safe. Things they don't feel at home. Things I didn't feel at home.

You found a better way.

Jamie Lovato

I got lucky.

You want my money... you're gonna have to earn it the hard way.

(Hits him on the crotch) Was that hard enough?
