Re: Gil <3 Cath #21: he's UP in bed while she's shaking he
I guess we’re moving quickly --Harvest – Not one of my favorites:
* --the pre-teen rebel--
CATH: I'm Catherine Willows. What's the trouble?
OFFICER: With the Amber Alert, we've been keeping an eye out. Found your daughter up on Boulder Highway trying to hitch a ride downtown. (Catherine glares at Lindsay who rolls her eyes at her mom.) Now, kids this age, they need a firm hand at home, and ...
CATH: Thank you, Officer. I appreciate everything you've done. Let's go.
- - - -
CATH: Okay, what or who is on Fremont Street that you would risk your life to get to? Mouthing off to teachers, slipping grades and now hitchhiking. I mean, what is next, Lindsey?
LINDSEY: Stripping.
CATH: What did you just say? …………..Okay, no phone, no friends, no nothing.
LINDSEY: For how long?
CATH: A month.
LINDSEY: Whatever.
CATH: Hey, you want to make it two?
LINDSEY: Dad always said you were a drama queen.
CATH: Well, what do you expect, Lindsay, since he was always high.
LINDSEY: I'd take dad high over you any day! Nana's coming to pick me up. I'll be out front.
* --Mia’s introduction--
GREG: Mia Dickerson, Warrick Brown.
WARRICK: Welcome.
MIA: Look, I already know you have a running bet with another CSI over how long the new hire lasts, so let's skip it. You got something for DNA?
WARRICK: The mother's bloody t-shirt.
MIA: Exemplar?
WARRICK: It's on its way.
MIA: Thank you.
* --a lot of perverts?--
NICK: This is a map of all registered sex offenders in the state, the county, and the neighborhood.
WARRICK: Phew! That's a lot of perverts.
NICK: Get out of jail, come to Vegas. They're listed in tiers of projected recidivism, zero through three. Three being the most dangerous.
* --the Papa Gil scene--
as already mentioned. It’s interesting to note that Catherine actually did what he suggested.
* --Mia’s just a bit paranoid?—
GREG: So would you like to grab a bite later? I know a diner down the street that serves a mean liver and onions.
MIA: I don't eat out.
GREG: Never ever?
MIA: I don't like expectorant.
GREG: Really?
MIA: Kitchen staff talk while they prepare your food and then the wait staff repeats your order over the plate, and by the time you get your meal, there are several DNA samples coating it.
GREG: Wow.
MIA: Yeah. No, thank you…….. I don't eat birthday cake either.
GREG: Oh, blowing out the candles.
MIA: Ugh. Don't get me started.
* --Cath vs the mother--
CATH: And, uh ... where did Alicia fit in, except for what she could give to your son?
SYBIL PEREZ: You have no idea what it's like.
CATH: I saw her medical records. I looked at her x-rays. I know what that little girl suffered, what you put her through.
SYBIL: So you would let your child die and do nothing. Never. No, you'd talk to doctors and research. And then you'd find out that the national bone marrow registry can't help you 'cause your son is mixed race. And even if he wasn't, there aren't enough donors. Out of four million, only 205,000 are Latino. I did what I had to do.
CATH: You put one child over another.
SYBIL: I don't expect you to understand. You don't have kids. (Sybil stands up.)
CATH: Uh, I have a daughter.
SYBIL: So, what kind of mother are you? When do you see her? You work nights. You probably don't even know where she half the time. Alicia's life may not have been simple, but at least I knew her. Can you say the same?
OUCH!
* --Cath/Lindsey part 2--
LINDSEY: I already told you, mom, I heard you. Can we go now?
CATH: No. You need to see for yourself why you can't ever hitchhike or go downtown or be careless with your safety. Are you ready?
LINDSEY: Just do it. I'm not scared.
CATH: She was waiting for a bus downtown when she was attacked. She's was 23. She was taller and stronger than you, Lindsay. She fought back and didn't win. Someone's gonna have to tell her family. Her parents are gonna have to see her like this. Do you get it now?
DOC: Kids don't belong in the coroner's office unless they're in a drawer. You should've found a different way to deal with your daughter's rebellion.
CATH: Well, with due respect, Doc, this doesn't concern you.
DOC: Ever notice how childhood keeps getting shorter and shorter? Whose fault is that?
CATH: I honestly don't know!
* --Gil/the brother in church—
DANIEL PEREZ: I didn't realize until ... today ... how lucky I am. I know pretty much ... how and when I'm gonna die. Most people don't. It's what they're afraid of.
GIL: Was your sister afraid?
DANIEL: Never….. I'm 11 years older than her, and she took care of me. She was my best friend, and I miss her….As much pain as ... I caused her ... and she wouldn't give up, and she ... she wouldn't let me, either. That's why ... during the last relapse, I made my parents swear that it was the very last time.
GIL: But then your kidneys failed, and they broke their word, huh?
DANIEL: They told me they ... swore not to fight the cancer, so this didn't count. I wasn't gonna lose this fight. …I couldn't watch her suffer anymore.
GIL: This wasn't a mercy killing, Daniel. This was an execution. Bone marrow, transfusions ... that's her blood in your veins….. It dripped out of your nose onto the blanket while you were killing her. If you cared so much for Alicia, why didn't you take your own life instead of hers?
DANIEL: Suicide isn't an option. It's an unforgivable sin in the eyes of God.
GIL: But you believe your God forgives murder? If that's your defense, it won't keep you out of jail. DANIEL: But my death will. See, I've got about six more months. I'll be dead before there's even a trial….. I-I do want to thank you, though.
GIL: For what?
DANIEL: For speaking for Alicia. You're probably the first person in her life to think only of her. You know, you may not believe in God, sir, but you do his work.
Crow's Feet already too?
OK, not a play-by-play for this one. Just want to say:
Great Cath-centric episode. Marg did an excellent job.
Best scene:
NICK: Do you think these supplements really do any good?
CATH: Why are you asking me?
NICK: I'm just asking a question, Catherine.
CATH: Scientifically, there's not a whole lot of evidence.
NICK: More lotions and potions.
CATH: You gonna ask me if this stuff works, too?
NICK: No. I'm gonna process the bathroom.
(HA! Good answer, Nick!)
ETA:
And breezing right along with Swap Meet:
The only scene that matters (the only scene I REMEMBER from this!)
CATHERINE: I know that you got the memo, I'm not sure that you read it. Eckley is being promoted to Assistant Director. They are taking applications for his supervisor spot on days. I want it..... What? You want the day spot for yourself? You're worried about giving me a good A.P. score and breaking up the team? Or maybe you just think that I'm incapable of the position? Not worthy of the promotion? Is that it?..... I'm just always, always, always defending myself to you...... I'm unbelievable. I have a daughter who is so starved for my attention, she is thumbing rides to Fremont Street to see her grandfather. The last person I want her around. I mean, not that it's much better with my mother, who sees Lindsay much more often than I do. ..... I am missing out on my daughter's life. I have no life of my own. Would you just stop me and say something here?
GIL: You want the job because you're worried about Lindsay?
CATH: That's part of it, but ...
GIL: The position calls for leadership, Catherine. You have to inspire others, solve problems, which means you have to leave your own problems at home.
CATH: I want the job because I can do it. I'm qualified, I'm motivated and I'm ready, Gil. You know that I am.
GIL: I do. Which is why I already sent in your A.P. I gave you 100%. I even put in a good word with the Director. The rest is up to you. And ... I hope you get it.
CATH: Thank you.
Classic PureJoy scene. That's all I can say.
