Dr. Gilbert: I'm severely deaf, and I can communicate fine. I'd appreciate it if you'd look at me when you speak to me. I wear a hearing aid and I can read lips. You could have asked if I needed an interpreter.
Dr. Gilbert: How can you solve a crime without understanding the victim?
Gil: You don't need to hear or speak to communicate. Or ... commit murder.
Sara: So, you going to tell us how you learned to sign?
Gil: No.
Gil: No.
Sara: Well, the president of the college is a real whack job.
Gil: Sara, you see deafness as a pathology. For Dr. Gilbert, her deafness is not her handicap -- it's her way of life.
Sara: You know, I think you might be siding with her.
Gil: As long as you see this as us versus them, you're going to have problems on this case.

Gil: I forgot. I'm so sorry.
Catherine: Make sure to submit the paperwork by the end of the day.
Gil: I thought you said that it was too late.
Catherine: Well, I knew you'd forget so I upped the deadline -- gave you a buffer. Don't forget again.

Dr. Gilbert: Is that the coward who killed Brian? What happened? He scare you? Talk a little funny? Make a lot of noises? Screamed? Or maybe he just looked at you the wrong way?
Gil: (to Mark Rucker) You want to know why Brian Clemonds ran away from you? It was dark, you were shouting at him and he didn't understand what you were saying. Brian Clemonds was deaf. He was afraid of you. But you were more afraid of him ... weren't you?
Dr. Gilbert: Who taught you to sign?

Dr. Gilbert: Tell me about her. And use your hands. You're a little rusty.
Gil: My mother.

Episode Title: Sounds of Silence
The title is the reference to the title of a song by Simon & Garfunkel, and nominally juxtaposes the clash of ideas inherent when dealing with the absence of sound vs. sounds -- is "silence" a sound, like "zero" is a number?
