Grissom: By the way Sam is here. He's one of the people who left the room during the time of the murder.
Catherine: Well I should say hi to dear old dad.

Sara: If she has a vault why keep money under the floor?
Greg: No more room under the mattress?

Lois O'Neill: (to Grissom) The boys that want me dead have been at this longer than you. I need you to catch up fast. Remember when you tummy starts to rumble, I tried to help.

Greg: Well, I don't see homicide anywhere on the schedule.

Catherine: (to her father Sam on the murder) Thing is I don't. It never occurred to me this is something you wouldn't do.

Grissom: Vanity, thy name is Hodges.

Lois O'Neill: (To a messy, tweaked-out L'il Cherry, a would-be starlet in the vein of Brittany, et al) For years, I did two shows a night, partied with the boys 'til all hours, got a little sleep, played a little tennis, gave interviews, got on stage, and did it all over again. *That's* talent. You've got to look. Pace yourself honey....
