CSI: NY Season 7 Episode 10

(About the winter wonderland display)
Jo: Wow, isn't it amazing?
Howie: It's pretty impressive.
Jo: I wasn't talking to you.
(A dead body appears in one of the turn-around windows)
Howie: Whoa.
Mac: You see why I hate shopping?

Flack: So, it turns out our victim was the store's general manager, guy named Richard Grossman. But from what I'm hearing, his employees like to call him other names.
Danny: Why?
Flack: Lot of belt-tightening going on around here lately. Apparently, he liked to crack a whip along with it.
Jo: Makes our boss look pretty good.
Danny: (Quietly) I wouldn't go that far.
Mac: Hey, I heard that.
(Danny and Flack chuckle)

Jo: Ready to go shopping?
Danny: For what?
Jo: Our killer.

Jo: Did you see anyone or anything suspicious at your counter this evening?
Danny: Maybe somebody in a hurry, maybe hurt.
Tracy Parker: (Laughs) Are you kidding? Everyone's in a hurry this time of year. And as for hurt, Mr. Grossman probably could have died right in front of me and I wouldn't have noticed.
Jo: Why is that?
Tracy Parker: We were giving away free body beauty kits.
Danny: Body whatties?
Tracy Parker: These. Each one contains ultra gel, uv moisturizer and a pore-cleansing astringent.
Jo: For free?
Tracy Parker: It was all part of our big winter windows promotion, and we got totally mobbed.

Tracy Parker: Everyone loves to get something for nothing.

Tracy Parker: (To Jo) And... you can have one of these, too, if you want.
Jo: Ah.
(Tracy hands to beauty kit to Jo but Danny grabs it faster)
Danny: That's cool. Thank you.
(Jo gives him a look)
Danny: I mean, it's free. I can take it home to the girls.

Flack: Took at look at your résumé, Howie. You did three bids for theft. Is that right?
Mac: Getting caught that much makes me think you're in the wrong line of work.

Howie: You got no right to hold me.
Flack: What, are you some kind of lawyer?
Howie: Hmm, I know enough. I mean, you got no stolen items, no evidence I committed a crime.
Mac: Well, that's where you're wrong. I witnessed you stealing that woman's wallet. That's evidence enough for grand larceny.
Howie: Well, I guess it's your word against mine, then, huh?
Mac: Well, those are odds I'm willing to take.

Flack: (To Howie) Come on, you know so much about the law. You never heard about felony murder?
Mac: It means if there is a homicide during the commission of another crime, everyone involved in that crime can be charged with murder.

(About Alena Maybrook)
Flack: According to her background, she's a regular girl scout... model employee, pays her bills on time, never jaywalks.
Jo: I'm sensing a "but" here.
Flack: Well, she may not have seemed to be in too much of a hurry to skip town when you found her in that park, but, two weeks ago she emptied her bank account, cashed out her 401k, and bought a one-way ticket to Aruba... departure date: tomorrow. In my book that's no vacation. It's an escape plan.

Adam: You know what they say. Sticks and stones may break your bones.
Hawkes: Looks like this one was used as our murder weapon.

Danny: Yo, Mac.
Mac: Let me guess. She gave you a full confession and our job is done.
Flack: Wouldn't that be nice? No, she still won't say a word.
Danny: But something I found at the crime scene is speaking volumes.

Pascal Denton: I didn't do anything.
Flack: $2.5. (Clashes his knuckles with Danny's) Pow. My partner and I... we give each other a hundred imaginary bucks every time a crook says he didn't do anything. Thanks to you, $2.5 million.

Pascal Denton: I don't like cops.
Danny: Oh, yeah? That why you broke an officer's collarbone ten years ago?

Pascal Denton: I was heavy into the street art scene.
Flack: Commonly known as vandalism.

Sid: That victim you're standing over was also an attacker.
Jo: How so?
Sid: Take a look at these wounds. First we have the scratches on the face and neck. Then there's the bite marks on his left hand. Not to mention contusions and inflammation in the groin area. And put all that together with the defensive wounds you found on Alena, and I don't have to tell you how this looks.
Mac: He had 60 pounds and four inches on her. So maybe she didn't have a choice.
Jo: Meaning Alena Maybrook is guilty of nothing but self-defense.

Jo: You know, Alena, I was always taught to respect the dead, but I got to tell you. Guys like Richard Grossman make it tough.

Jo: (To Alena) Tell me what is going on. Talk to me. I really can feel your pain. I just wish I could read your mind.

Mac: Given the science supporting self-defense and the lack of evidence for any premeditation, he's unwilling to press charges.
Flack: Did you explain to him that he's a dumb-ass?
Mac: You know the game, Don. She's been in custody for 24 hours.
Flack: Yeah, I know. I'll process her and get her out of here. But, Mac, let me ask you this. What if we crack this puzzle and she's already used that ticket to Aruba?
Mac: We'll cross that bridge if we have to.

Mac: Did Alena file one of the harassment reports against him?
Lindsay: No, but she was a documented witness to some of his sexual misconduct with a sales clerk named Tracy Parker.
Danny: That's our girl from behind the makeup counter.
Jo: Looks like she fought to have him fired and brought up on charges. But the complaint was ultimately dismissed, and Grossman got to keep his job.
Lindsay: Store manager... one, assistant manager... zero. Makes your blood boil.

Tracy Parker: (About Richard Grossman) He said if I didn't go out with him, he would cut back my hours. I was barely putting food on the table as it was.
Jo: So you agreed to date him?
Tracy Parker: I'm a single mom with two young children. What choice did I have?
Jo: Well, I certainly wasn't judging you, Tracy. I think what that man did was inexcusable.
Tracy Paker: No, I was judging myself. I should have been stronger. I should have stood up for myself, but I was too scared, too embarrassed.

Jo: So, did you get the video camera working?
Adam: God himself couldn't get this video camera to work. Sewage water and electronics just don't mix.
Jo: So we're not able to see what was recorded on it?
Adam: I didn't say that.

Mac: As an assistant manager, Alena would have overseen a lot of those registers.
Jo: Yes. 112, to be exact.
Mac: So if she pocketed an average of seven dollars per register, twice a day for six months...
Jo: ... she would have stolen over a quarter of a million dollars right out from under their noses.

Jo: You still had a fighting chance.
Alena Maybrook: A chance at what? Languishing in some hospital bed? Torturing my body day in and day out just to prolong the inevitable? No, thanks.
Jo: If it was me, I would want to live as long as I possibly could.
Alena Maybrook: That's what I thought at first. But in the end, I decided that, for me, quality was much more important than quantity.

(After Alena tells her she was blackmailed into a sexual intercourse)
Jo: That's enough to give you motive. Honestly, that's enough to give anyone motive.

Alena Maybrook: I thought it would be a one-time thing. But not for him. After that, I couldn't live with myself. Day by day, I was losing my life, and he was trying to rob me of my humanity. Enough was enough.

Alena Maybrook: Gotta love the irony. I'm in the middle of dying and I wind up killing a guy.

Alena Maybrook: There's something so poetic about snowfall. Snowflakes don't have a long life span, but... they leave such an unforgettable mark.

Alena Maybrook: When you realize you're going to die soon... a part of you wants to make sure there was a reason why you lived.
