- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: Lieutenant Caine, do you really think the CSI that's responsible for destroying the original evidence should be assigned to the case?
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: I don't remember asking for your opinion, Rick.
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: Well, the commander suggested IAB should check into this, find out how this accident occurred and which employee maybe involved in undermining a major murder investigation, not to mention compromising countless other cases. It is Delko, right?
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: Eric, would you give us a minute, please?
- Eric Delko: Sure H.
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: 'H'. You see, that could be interpreted as a lack of respect for a superior.
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: You know, I am willing to take that chance.
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: So as his superior, did Delko screw up?
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: No, if any body did, I did.
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: You did, you weren't even in the building at the time. Yelina says you were at the PD.
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: My lab, my oversight.
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: You cover a lot of people's screw-ups, don't you? Delko in evidence, your brother and that girl. What's her name? Susie right?
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: Rick, That is a private matter.
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: Well, you see, I see a pattern of you withholding critical information and I've opened a file on you.
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: Walk away.
- [after it's proven Delko didn't deliberately try to destroy evidence]
- Eric Delko: H, I'll be in the layout room.
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: Okay, Eric.
- [Eric leaves]
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: I suppose I owe you an apology.
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: The man you need to apologize to, Rick, just left the room.
- IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler: It isn't my job to be liked.
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: Mission accomplished.
- Marc Snowden: [Attorney representing pornography producer] My client is a prominent businessman with strong ties to the community. He has a family and three little girls.
- Lieutenant Horatio Caine: Will they be appearing in your films, Mr. Jeffers, when they grow up... just out of curiosity?
