Quotes from CSI - Miami
Apart from the cliche-ish OS they use, and the database searches which always seem to come up with a "99.32% match", what bad could you say about our little CSI-themed action soap?
Reply not, for that's not the topic of the thread... in fact, it is about the good parts of the show. For me, it's the quotes, and the good part is you can read them on wikiquote, so you'll sacrifice less than 2 minutes per episode.
I'll provide my personal biased Top-30, each with a little heading I made up (they don't match the episode titles, so I'll provide Season/Episode too). Here it goes...
#30 - Good Cop, Bad Actor (S5E17)
Anna: You really do believe all that protect and serve stuff, don't you?
Horatio: It's the only thing...the only thing that I know how to do.
#29 - File Extension, Screw Driver, Kill Switch (S4E20)
Mr. Suero: My structural engineer says if I file for an extension now, I won't be cutting ribbon in eleven months.
Tripp: Hm, I'm crying inside, Mr. Suero.
#28 - Too much traffic for 200? (S4E18)
Eric: You got an excuse for going 150 miles per hour?
Hayden Cruise: Too much caffeine?
#27 - PAWNED! (S4E17)
Calleigh: Pawn-shop guy said he wiped it down before he planned to move it. You know, no one wants to buy a dirty gun.
Eric: Well, there's pawn-shop clean and then there's CSI-clean.
#26 - Honest (S4E14)
Norman: I'm a movie producer. I glorify violence, I don't engage in it.
#25 - Shut-the-uck-fup (S2E22)
(Speed and Eric are collecting the crowd's cell phones.)
Crowd Girl: Don't you need a warrant or something?
Speed: Yeah, if you want it locked in evidence for 3 years.
Eric: Or you can just give it to us for 3 hours, your choice.
(The girls hands over her phone.)
Crowd Girl: OK, but what am I supposed to do for 3 hours?
Speed: I don't know, stop talking?
#24 Dying to get there in time (S3E21)
Eric: This guy, he took the expressway--16 stories down.
In the next one, we have an unusual encounter.
In the red corner, "Bullet Girl."
And in the blue corner, "Corpse Bride."
#23 - BITE! (S1E11)
Calleigh: Leech saliva...
Alexx: Medical marvel, you know. It contains enzymes that expand your blood vessels.

#22 - You're Owned (S1E9)

Horatio: And that's why you're just a patrol cop.
#20 - An heroin (S2E19)

Calleigh: Reality TV, can I watch?
Eric: Yeah, have a seat.
Calleigh: Tell me when I have to look away.
Eric: That's the thing, you never have to.

#17 - What the Duck (S5E17)

Speed: Well, that's different.

Disclaimer: The next one is not really the "best" quote of the show. But it does showcase the script writers skills. Read at your own risk -- I take NO responsibility for brain damage. Highlight the line to read it, or copy and paste.
