Sheldon Hawkes

Sheldon Hawkes:Apart from the fact of it not being attached to a person, there's nothing wrong with this finger.

Hawkes explains something about brains out of the head being fried.]
Stella: Guess this'll be a no-brainer for you.
Sheldon Hawkes: She did not just say that.
Don Flack and Mac: She did.

Don Flack

Jason (second vic's boyfriend): I never saw that house. I swear on my grandmother.
Don Flack: Let me arrest him for swearing on his grandmother

Don Flack: So let me get this straight. A crapsicle killed this guy?

[Flack is holding up the cake topper bride's head in a evidence bag]
Don Flack: Do you, Stella, take Veronica as a crazy with a motive?
Stella Bonasera: I do.

Stella Bonasera

Stella: Tiffany's..now you're talking my language.
Mac: You can tell from a map?
Stella: Are you kidding? I can tell from the moon. Love those little blue boxes.

[Stella has just won a bet that she and Mac made on the outcome of the dog show]
Mac Taylor: You're going to make me pay?
Stella: Yeah, I'm going to make you pay.
Mac: I thought you were kidding.
Stella: Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.

Stella Bonasera: What do you do when you can't sleep?
Mac Taylor: Work.
Stella: What do normal people do when they can't sleep?

Stella Bonasera: Let's pimp this ride.

Horatio: That is a stria match.
Stella: The bullets are lining up like the Rockettes at Christmas.

Stella Bonasera: There's something gooey here.
Mac Taylor: Gooey? There's a good forensic word. Gooey. I'll have to use that more

Mac Taylor

Mac Taylor: We've got the best forensics tool money can't buy. Snow.

Mac: You're not a doctor, you're a murderer with a medical degree.

Mac: It never ceases to amaze me how men of higher education can commit such stupid crimes

Mac Taylor: (to Stella) Use your head, not your heart.

Mac: Reality rarely lives up to expectation. Especially if you're a teenager

[to Darius in holding cell]
Mac: Me, I don't pity you Darius. There's a lot of people with worse stories than yours. They never hurt anyone. You killed twelve people in two states over the last seventy-two hours and you want me to feel sorry for you because your daddy didn't kiss you when you were a baby? You asked for my help. I did help you. You're where you belong. You rot in hell, you son of a bitch.

Mac Taylor: Don't quote me on this, Lindsay, but sometimes not everything's connected. (Lifts the head of the vic off the body)

Danny Messer and Lindsay Monroe

Lindsay Monroe: As soon as Hammerback's finished with you, I get to take the beetles back to the lab with me.
Danny Messer: Don't eat 'em. (walks away)
Lindsay: You're a little late on that one.
Danny: (turns to look at her) Doesn't mean it's not funny

Danny Messer: Look you promised me drinks for this, but I think I'm going to need some dinner too.
Lindsay Monroe: I'm not going to give you anything if you don't get going. Make tracks, cowboy.

Lindsay Monroe: You bet Mac I wouldn't do it?
Danny Messer: Yeah. What was I thinkin'? Shouldn't bet against a country girl.

[Lindsay walks into the crime scene dressed in formal wear. Mac is already there in formal wear, having been to the mayor's party]
