Robert Monroe quotes from CSI: NY

(To Lindsay) I just want to protect you, is all. That's all any father wants. Boy, I tried but you can't protect your daughter from everything. Eventually, the day comes when you have to pick her up off the ground after she skins her knee and tell her everything's going to be all right. Or wipe away the tears after some boy breaks her heart. Find the words to tell her her mother's gone. But that's life.

Rooster tail, huh?

Lindsay

Worked when I was a kid. I'm guessing the trout haven't wised up any.

Any chance I can convince you to keep what you catch? You know, pan-seared with a little garlic...

Lindsay

No.

Lindsay

What do you mean, accomplish?

The way you feel about him. The things you got going on inside of you. You're still going to feel those same things tomorrow.

I couldn't teach you everything, and you wouldn't even let me. You have your own way of doing things, but...

Lindsay

I'm not that little girl anymore, dad. I haven't been for a long time. And I know you're proud of me, but I know that you wish I didn't do what I do. Or see the things I see. That innocence was gone a long time ago. And I don't regret the choices that I've made, and I don't regret seeing the things I've seen.

You're an impressive young woman, Lindsay. But you grew up so fast. What I'm trying to say is, haven't you seen enough?

You know where I stand on this, but... you're my daughter and I love you. If you want me to go with you... I'll go with you.

Lindsay

I love you, too, Dad. I gotta do this on my own.
