Serena Matthews quotes from CSI: NY

Serena Matthews

(About her rapist) I know that it's stupid and irrational but I just have this fear that he's going to come after me again.

Serena Matthews

(About her rapist) I came because I need to see it. I need to be in that courtroom and see him in handcuffs being taken off to jail.

Serena Matthews

You know, for a while, I was angry at what you did. It took me some time to get past that and realize how difficult it must have been for you, as a woman, and as a mom, to watch that monster walk away from what he did to me.

Jo

Not about me, Serena. It is about you. It's not fair that your life was turned upside down because of it.

Serena Matthews

My father is an emotional guy. He had no right to force you out of the FBI.

Jo

You know, I'm not so sure I wouldn't have done exactly what your dad did on behalf of one of my own children. I don't regret my actions. I do regret that my actions set John Curtis free and what that did to you and your dad but... I don't, I don't sleep nights any more since he was let go.

Serena Matthews

That girl Lindsay who works with you... I thought she was on our side.

Jo

She had to tell the truth.

Serena Matthews

The truth is that Curtis raped that girl and they just let him go. Again.

I have seen John Curtis walk out of a courtroom, a free man, twice. Both times you were there.

Jo

I'm not involved in this case, Senator, as you know.

And yet, somehow it fell apart.

Serena Matthews

Dad, let's just go.

My daughter already paid her price. Nothing can change that. This is about all the other daughters that had to suffer since you let Curtis go the first time.

Serena Matthews

I'm sorry. It's just I'm so embarrassed.

Jo

There's no reason to be.

Serena Matthews

If I hadn't been drinking when this whole...

Jo

Serena, listen to me. This is not your fault.
