“Epilogue” quotes from CSI: NY

Lindsay

10 percent chance of walking? You told me it was 60.

Danny

I just didn't want to scare you.

Lindsay

You know what scares me, Danny? It's the fact that you think you need to lie to me.

Lindsay

Now don't get too comfortable in that chair.

Danny

Well, it's been a month and I haven't felt a thing. Nothing, no movement, no tingling. Nothing.

Lindsay

Danny, you gotta be patient.

Danny

We gotta start thinking that this might be the way it is, is what we gotta do.

Lindsay

Doctor said there's no permanent damage to your spine. Inflammation from the gunshot wound is causing temporary paralysis.

Danny

Yeah, but how do you forget the words like 'more than likely, best case scenario, 60% chance of recovery'? How do you do that?

Lindsay

Well, for one, I'm an optimist. For another if you don't recover, I'm going to kick your butt.

It was all just talk, at first. Then Wilson came up with this idea. What if we made the city work for us? You know? He used the word ransom. I thought he was joking. But they kept talking about it. Doing something, again and again and again, and having the city pay us to stop.

Mac

Why, Jake? To what end?

Dave said because we could. Just... because we could.

Mac

Because you could? Is that what I should tell the family of the bartender who died or all the people who were injured!? Is that what I should tell my detective who's sitting in a wheelchair!?

Mac

These guys aren't looking to kill, they're looking to scare.

Danny

Yeah, well, then why don't they use something other than guns?

Mac

No, think about it. All that gunfire, there's been one fatality. And at both the scene last night and the restaurant, most of the damage was to the awning and the top of the building. Their weapon of choice? Style SPP auto-machine pistol, small weapon, high-recoil, certainly not known for accuracy.

Stella

So these thugs are in the business of fear. They want the entire city to be at their mercy.
