Marc Vann: Conrad Ecklie

Quotes 

• Conrad Ecklie : I thought I was clear.

  Grissom : You were. Now let me be clear. Sara's behavior is a direct result of my management.

  Conrad Ecklie : So I should fire you.

  Grissom : But you won't.

• [last lines] 

  Grissom : [about Sara]  She's a great criminalist, Conrad. And I need her.

  Conrad Ecklie : I'm sure you do. You know what? She's a loose cannon with a gun. And she's all yours.

• Conrad Ecklie : You are a law enforcement officer, and a representative of this city, that means I expect you to conduct yourself in an appropriate manner in and away from this lab.

  Catherine Willows : You know what, if this is gonna be one of your "for the good of the lab" speeches, don't bother. I've heard them.

  Conrad Ecklie : Just, take a seat.

  [Sara doesn't sit] 

  Conrad Ecklie : Willows is a supervisor which means you treat her with respect, insulting her in front of coworkers...

  Catherine Willows : She's not my supervisor.

  Conrad Ecklie : ...Alright, your superior. Sara, you berate witnesses, you disrespect the people you work with, you luck your way out of a DUI take a look! You've got a half a dozen complaints in your jacket. And if Grissom *really* documented your performance there'd probably be a dozen more. That's not the kind of person I want in my lab!

  Catherine Willows : The only reason this is "your" lab is because Grissom doesn't kiss ass. You couldn't hack it in the field so you fail your way up, you break up our team, and now you just hang out in the hallways waiting for one of us to screw up!

  Conrad Ecklie : Sidle, you're on one week's suspension without pay.

  Catherine Willows : Great.

  Conrad Ecklie : And when you get back you're apologizing to Catherine.

  Catherine Willows : [frankly and with a smile]  No I'm not.
