Christine Whitney quotes from CSI: NY

Why didn't you share this with me, Mac? Never mind. I asked a question I already know the answer to. You know, one of the most endearing things about you is your pride. But it's also your weakness. And I... I have to decide if I can live with that.

I never saw you as the social-networking type.

Mac

Actually, it wasn't my decision to set that up. That was some colleagues of mine having a little fun.

That explains the blankest profile page in the history of the Internet.

Mac

How do you know that I wasn't trying to be mysterious?

Because you're one of the most transparent people I know.

(About Claire's death) I'm sorry.

Mac

There's no need to be sorry. I'm thankful for the time that we had together.

(answering the phone) Hello, Mac Taylor.

Mac

Christine, did I get you at a bad time?

No, perfect, actually. How do I murder a produce guy and get away with it?

Mac

Well, you could always hit him over the head with a coconut, but you'd be better off using that for a piña colada.

Yeah. Point very well taken. Besides, overpriced coconuts probably warrant something closer to a misdemeanour rather than a full-blown felony, right?

Oh, um, that anniversary party for my parents tomorrow night, uh, you agreed to endure...don't worry about it.

Mac

Whoa, you're dumping me?

No. I just don't want you to feel obligated with all that's going on. I mean, my whole family would love to see you, but, well, you know how they can be.

Mac

I'm sure I can handle it. I'll be here.

Okay. I gave you an out. You've been warned.

Mac

You make it sound dangerous (Both smile).

Nice and slow. One step at a time. You okay? You need to take a break?

Mac

I can't remember what happened. The thing. I... I can't picture it in my head. At all.

Mac

You don't have to do this, you know. Come here every day.

(Holding his arm as he walks down the hospital hall) Nice and slow, one step at a time.

Mac

I hate you seeing me like this.

Well, you better get used to it 'cause I'm not going anywhere.

Hey, I know it's been a rough couple of weeks and I don't want to sound selfish but I'm having withdrawals. For six months I'm with you practically 16 hours a day,and now, lately, it'd be easier to get an audience with the pope.

Mac

Yeah, but the pope isn't taking you to your favorite place for dinner.

What are these for?

Mac

I don't think I ever officially thanked you for taking care of me. There is no gift or words that could ever come close to saying how much it meant having you there by my side through those six months. Every single day your smile and your love just pushed me to work harder, and you... you lifted my spirits. So... two dozen roses: one for every week you took care of me.

All right, enough of the mushy stuff. Let's go and eat. I'm starving. You know I have favorite places all over the city. Which one are we going to?

Mac

(Struggling to remember the name of the restaurant) Well, you know, the one with the, uh, the dish that you like.

Oh, let's see, that narrows it down to about 50 places?

Mac

You know... th... the one with the, uh, stuff. The one with the chef who, uh, you always ask him what the recipe is and he always leaves out one ingredient.

Oh, Piccolo! The truffle rigatoni with vegetable and sausage!

Mac

Yes.

Mac

Well, I think it's hanging off your arm.

Jo

I'm just a little concerned about Mac.

What do you mean?

Jo

I think he's struggling with some stuff.

What makes you say that?

Jo

Well, he's been avoiding certain situations at work, particularly things where he has to provide specific details.

Like what?

Jo

I've watched him a bunch of times struggle to name or identify an object, and he covers pretty well, but... Lord, I feel like I'm telling on him. I'm just worried about him. Have you noticed anything like that?

No. Not really. I mean, he doesn't know where he left his keys half the time but that's just a man thing, you know. They're a forgetful bunch.

Do you trust me, Mac?

Mac

You even have to ask me that?

I think I do. Um, I had coffee with Jo earlier. She's worried about you, and I am, too.

Mac

Well, I'll tell you what I told her... I'm fine.

That's what I said, 'cause our relationship is based on trust, and if you had a problem, you would have come to me and we would have worked it out together, right?

Mac

That's right.

I just want you to look me in the eye and tell me nothing's wrong.

Mac

What the hell is this, Christine?

It's really simple. Just look me in the eye and tell me.

Mac

I don't appreciate my integrity being called into question.

I didn't come here to question your integrity. I came here because I care about you.

I'm sorry I didn't... I didn't return your calls. I didn't know what to say.

Mac

I understand why you're angry with me, Christine.

I'm not angry. Um... hurt, uh, confused... a little embarrassed. I realized I'd been acting like a teenage girl, you know? Butterflies in my stomach 'cause I'm so excited to see you, fighting the urge to text message every minute... making a lot more of this than... than what it is, so I'm going to take a step back.

Mac

No, I don't want you to do that.

Why don't you tell me what's wrong? Why are you shutting me out of whatever it is that you're going through?

Mac

That's not what I'm doing. This isn't... about us.

Oh. Oh, okay. I get it. It's none of my business.

Mac

That's not what I'm saying.

Mac, the problem is that you are not saying anything.
