Grace Chandler quotes from CSI: NY

I have to ask. Two years nurturing someone back to health, getting to know them, watching them grow. How do you rationalize killing them?

They're a cancer. Living in the street like dogs. Begging for change.

Grace Chandler

Leaving their feces and stench in boxes in doorways.

How long do you think they would have lasted before you or some other cop found them dead? We took them off the street. We gave them two more good years.

Grace Chandler

Two years living in a Park Avenue apartment building. Wearing the best designer clothes and expensive jewelry. We gave them things, things they never could have imagined. Having a life they were never supposed to live. We gave them two more years. Two years they would have never had.

And the payment for that was their lives?

Mac

You chose people who were vulnerable and broken. People you knew had nobody to question your motives. What's it like to live without a conscience?

Grace Chandler

It's like being rich. Something you probably know nothing about.

Mac

Putting people like you away for the rest of your life, doing good... that makes me rich. Something you probably know nothing about.

Grace Chandler

I know you think I had something to do with this.

Mac

Most of the people who sit in this chair... they lie. Each time that happens we get a little bit better at knowing who's telling the truth and who's not.

Grace Chandler

And how about me, Detective. Am I a liar?

Mac

I'll let you know.
