Roland Carson quotes from CSI: NY

Should I?

Mac Taylor

They're the men who broke into your apartment last night. They're also former clients of yours. You care to explain that?

I've defended a lot of criminals, Detective. It's my job.

Mac Taylor

That's not an answer.

I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe you should ask one of them.

Mac Taylor

They're a little bit dead right now. Killed with a handgun registered to you.

Mac Taylor

Already preparing your defense theory? A little fanciful, even for you.

You think I set up the robbery? Hired former clients to have my own apartment broken into, my bodyguard shot and millions stolen from another client, then murdered my former clients with a gun that's easily traced back to me? That's what I call fanciful.

Mac Taylor

I'm not hearing a denial.

So why would I risk my life for a few bucks? I charge more an hour than you make in a week.

Mac Taylor

As an errand boy for drug dealers and thieves.

Can I have the gems back now? My client would like to take possession.

What the hell am I supposed to tell my client?

Mac Taylor

Well, you're a persuasive guy. Persuade them not to kill you.

Wait... where's the ring? Diamonds, emeralds. It's an heirloom. It's worth a million at least, Detective.

Mac Taylor

What you see is what we found in the trunk of Belson's car.

Can't be. Maybe Belson kept it with him somehow.

Mac Taylor

Ah, they usually check prisoners for heirlooms at Rikers.

It's the most important piece here.

Mac Taylor

Mr. Carson, these gems have been all over the city, in and out of many hands. The ring could've gotten lost anywhere.

That's not good enough, Detective.

Mac Taylor

Sue me.
