CSI: NY quotes

New York City Police Department's the best in the country. You've had your war, son. Take the job.

Mac

Dad...

Claire's from New York, huh? She has family there. You're gonna need their help when... babies start coming.

Mac

(almost laughing) Whoa, Dad. We just got married. And I was thinking that maybe I'd... if I do retire, maybe I'd move back to Chicago for a while.

No, son. There's no need for you to be here. I've had a good life. You need to live yours.

Mac

Dad...

You've served... your country, Mac. Pick up the phone. Make the call. Take the job. Promise me... you'll make the call.

Mac

I promise.

Do you know where I am? Do you even know which way to look?

Lindsay

(as she sees Danny doing pull ups) Danny! What are you doing?

Danny

Processing the vic's phone.

Lindsay

Oh, of course. What was I thinking?

Danny

Flack had the vic's phone pinged. We found it in a dumpster. Waiting on DNA results from the trace I found. I figured I'd get a little pump in.

Lindsay

Don't you have physical therapy today?

Danny

Yeah, yeah, so I'm getting ready for it. (as she just looks at him) What? You see Lucy lately, huh? She's standing up in her crib, cruising along the walls of the apartment. She's gonna walk soon, Lindsay.

Lindsay

Danny, please tell me you're not competing with our ten-month-old daughter.

Danny

No, I'm not competing with our daughter. All right? I'm just sick and tired of being in this chair. I want to run through Central Park with my daughter on my shoulders, okay? I want to chase down boys who try to hit on her. I want to dance with you and her at her wedding. So, if you don't mind... (preparing for another round)

Lindsay

(placing her hands at the sides of his neck, caressing it, and leaning in) I don't mind at all.

Mac

(to his team) We're going to work night and day to figure out exactly why this killer chose his victims, and were going to use that connection to catch him before the press gets wind of it and panics the whole damn city over some kind of compass killer. Or worse... before he adds another victim to the map.

Mac

Is he still here?

Sid

Who?

Mac

The husband, the man who I.D.'d her body.

Sid

He left. He was so upset. I hope he went home...

Mac

Where exactly was he standing?

Sid

That table right over there. Here (flips the lights on as Mac picks up the compass) Oh, no. The killer was here.

Mac

And I don't know where the hell he's going next.

Can you see me? Do you even know which way to look?

If you could go back to that moment, just you and him in that apartment, would you do it again? Would you stick the knife in his chest?

(reliving the stabbing & not caring) All 17 times. Regret's a waste of time, Detective.

Right. You can't change the past. Stand up, turn around. No matter how okay you think you are, when you close your eyes at night, it's gonna haunt you. (as he cuffs her)

Hawkes

(after seeing Danny conclude his therapy early) So what was that?

Danny

What?

Hawkes

Danny, you gotta try way harder if you're gonna get up out of this chair.

Danny

Doc, you know what? I got a policy, buddy. I don't take advice unless I ask for it.

Hawkes

I got a policy, too. I'm always up-front with my friends. And with an injury like yours, you should have been up out of that chair weeks ago. You're not pushing yourself.

Danny

Are you kidding me?! I'd like to give you five minutes of the pain I feel every time I take a step.

Hawkes

Danny, I treated hundreds of trauma patients that would trade places with you in a minute.

Danny

(trying to apologize to his rehab therapist) I'm done whining. I came here so you can help me get out of this wheelchair and I'm going to do whatever it takes to make that happen. I've got a few precious things I need to pay for.

Mac

Don. Everything okay with you?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Mac

I'm not convinced.

Why do you need to be? Did I do something wrong?

Mac

It's what you didn't do. It could have got you killed.

Am I being second-guessed for not killing someone? I thought that was a good thing.

Mac

It is, if it was a choice. People are concerned about you, Don.

Tell people I said thanks, but I can take care of myself.

Mac

I wish that was true. If it wasn't for Lindsay saving your ass today, we might be having this conversation in an emergency room, or maybe not at all.

Unless you want to make that official, I got nothing else to say.

Stella

Jesse performed under the stage name 'Mechanicx'. This particular competition is known as 'Battle Step'.

Mac

I thought this type of dancing went out with Ms. Pac-Man and the Rubik's Cube.

Stella

Definitely went underground and advanced, only to resurface with a new name. It's now called street-dancing, and it's gone pro.

Mac

Something's off, though. Based on the complaint of the first robbery, Jesse stared right at the guy. Why'd the I.D. go south?

Stella

Well, you know how unreliable eyewitnesses can be, especially when they're staring down the barrel of a gun.

I just can't believe it was Nick under that mask. He was our friend. He came to visit me in the hospital.

Stella

He was going to go to the police to confess, but before he did, he wanted to see you to try to explain, to apologize as best he could. But when he walked into your hospital room,...

He realized I didn't remember anything.

Stella

He thought the whole thing would just go away.

(sighs) Jesse didn't need to do any of this. I loved him for who he was. God... he could make me smile.

Adam

(sees Danny slowly walking down the hallway with the a cane) Race you to the end of the hallway. Oh, hey! Just a little humor there.

Danny

Yeah, well, uh, where are we at on this hotel-room murder?

Adam

Well, behind door number one, we have a silver vase, champagne bottle and all the matching stemware. Behind door number two, we have a wool ski-mask, presumably worn by the killer. So, what's it going to be, Messer?

Danny

It's going to be door number one.

Adam

Ah. Feeling lucky about getting some prints, huh?

Danny

No, it's just a little closer.

Mac Taylor

Do you know this man?

Yeah, that's Jesse Lewis. Why, did he do something wrong?

Yeah. He stepped in front of a gun while somebody else was pulling the trigger.
