simply the coolest investigator in miami, horatio caine is more than a man, he is a way of life with five basic rules:

1. stand with hands on hips
2. place sungl-sses on for dramatic effect, then remove them, and repeat (applicable inside as well as out)
3. never fully address people by looking them in the eye, you’re too cool for that.
4. have a dramatic pause in your speech.
5. shoot first/45 degree turn/walk out of camera frame.

this is taken from the fact that in every episode of csi miami, horatio will do most of these things, and is a bad-ss at being cool. it all works by combining the first four in the first few minutes of csi miami, in which horatio will give a witty one-liner about a dead body. afterwhich abruptly comes in the who “we don’t get fooled again”‘s scream of yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

honourable mentions:

1. horatio gets in bomb-armed suv, and with four minutes to spare, drives to the beach, takes off his sungl-sses. steps out and, slowly, walks away from the suv. as he places his sungl-sses on, the suv explodes into a m-ssive ball of fire and rubble. and horatio says, “burn, baby, burn.”

2. horatio steps out from an ambulance, as three hitmen has been sent to kill him, as he emerges from behind the ambulance, he shoots two hitmen before they can open fire, the third runs away. as one lays in agony he tries to raise his gun.

horatio calmly instructs, “stay down…”
the guy doesn’t listen.
horatio, repeats, “stay down.”
the guy doesn’t listen.

and without even looking at the guy, horatio shoots him, while continuing his walk.

3. in the season 5 premier, rio, in slow motion and to the song “we don’t get fooled again” by the who (also the shows theme but extended for this version) horatio shanks riaz, in cold blood. coolest. murder. ever.
