Charles Ross quotes from CSI: NY

Charles Ross

(To Adam) You are such a disappointment! Always have been, always will be. A good-for-nothing! Trying to put me away, huh? Trying to hurt me. I haven't seen you for years, and this is when you show up? This is how you repay me?

Adam

You know that kid?

Charles Ross

I thought maybe it was my son. I don't know why. He never visits. I wouldn't either, I guess. Place is disgusting. You're a good brother, Brian.

Adam

I'm...

Charles Ross

No one else visits me, just you.

Charles Ross

You're behind this, aren't you, Adam? I should have known! Always trying to ruin things for me!

Adam

You know who I am?

Charles Ross

Of course I do.

Adam

Look, I got a call from the cops saying they found you. I'm just gonna take you home.

Charles Ross

That's where I was trying to go before you had me hauled off. You did this!

Adam

I didn't do anything!

Charles Ross

You know, you remind me of my boy? Sweet. But, uh... a little soft. I try to toughen him up. Yeah.

Adam

Who am I?

Charles Ross

What kind of question is that?

Adam

It's so frustrating, how I... I have you for five minutes, and then I lose you again. Who am I? Say my name.

Charles Ross

Brian.

Charles Ross

There was Dad. Oh, man, was he pissed. Remember that? He was some new shade of red I'd never seen before. And it wasn't the belt. Or the spoon. Not that time. Man, he was pissed.

Adam

He broke your arm?

Charles Ross

Yeah.

Adam

Why did you let him hurt you?

Charles Ross

What were we, like 15? What choice did I have?

Adam

I mean... did... did he do it to you often?

Charles Ross

Oh, come on. You don't want to relive that stuff.

Adam

I relive it every day. I tried for so long to forget about everything you did to me. Don't you remember?

Charles Ross

No, I... that was Dad, that wasn't me.

Adam

You are my dad. You kicked the crap out of me. Look at me. You look at me. You tell me you remember.

Charles Ross

No, you must have me confused with someone else.
