This episode is the final episode of a truncated season, due to an extended Hollywood writers' strike which affected virtually all major network scripted tv shows for the 2007-2008 season. Almost all shows went on a "new show hiatus" in late 2007 and many either stopped there that season or, in some cases, released a few extra episodes in the following spring once the dispute was settled in mid February. Very few shows released a typical "full" season of episodes (20-24) for this year.

Nick: Crime scene at a funeral. Can't get much deader than this.

Nick: Let's get a beer.
Warrick: Oh, no.
Nick: Come on. You're a free man now.
Warrick: Well, this free man needs a free shower. And I think you need to take a hot one with that red-head.
Nick: I think I might just do that. Hey, I'm really glad that you're okay.
Warrick: Thanks.

Nick: Ah, turkey bacon is not gonna make the food any better here.
Grissom: Yeah, well, unfortunatly we don't come here for the food.
Catherine: No.
Warrick: Well, as far as I'm concerned there's no place that I'd rather be.

Warrick: Thanks, Jim.
Brass: Don't ever forget how lucky you are.

Undersheriff McKeen: So, it's all on Pritchard. Is this gonna hold up in court?
Grissom: It will.
I.A. Officer Wagenbach: You know what the defense is gonna say, right? Who better than a CSI to make a murder look like a frame.
Grissom: He was framed, and I'll prove it.

I.A. Officer Wagenbach: Do you remember hiring Lenny Harper to investigate Lou Gedda in violation of direct orders.
Warrick: Yeah.
I.A. Officer Wagenbach: You think Gedda was responsible?
Warrick: I'd bet on it.
I.A. Officer Wagenbach: I heard that about you. Is that why you went to Pigalle?
Warrick: I went to Pigalle because Lou Gedda called me.

Grissom: What if the killer used the victim's car to transport the body?
Nick: He drives the victim's own car back to the funeral home, stuffs the body in a double-decker coffin, hits a car wash, comes back cleans the office, then leaves us the keys. That's pretty considerite.
Grissom: Or very smart.

Nick: We'll pay for a new casket.
Grissom: We will?

The newspaper at Warrick's house has a headline about a stripper being killed, but the text of the article is about politics.
