- Wendy Simms: You know, if you're still having trouble coming to terms with the fact that this isn't your lab, I suggest counseling.
- Greg Sanders: I would like you to run these, please?
- Wendy Simms: M'kay.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: [to Sofia] I hear soda water works better.
- Sofia Curtis: What'd work better is if I took it out and shot it.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: So long as I don't see it on the 11:00 news.
- [Sofia chuckles]
- Sofia Curtis: Gold Square Bar, gold wad of tissue in her purse. Figured it was worth checking out. Looks like a bar napkin.
- Catherine Willows: Yeah, that's been shaped, rolled and twisted. Las Vegas origami. Pretty corny.
- Sofia Curtis: Probably work on me.
- [she and Catherine chuckle]
- Catherine Willows: That bad, huh?
- Catherine Willows: [to Hodges] Don't tell me you're tired of the field already.
- Hodges: No, I had to catch up on my Perez Hilton.
- Catherine Willows: I take it you're not going to pull a Sanders, then?
- Hodges: Let's see: clean friendly lab, bullet strewn-urine soaked street? That's a tough call.
- Gil Grissom: [looking at a bullet casing] Fifty caliber. Casing looks new. I bet it's from a Desert Eagle.
- Hodges: Or a coffee shop. I could drink an espresso out of that thing.
- Hodges: I was right. This is a lot like garbage collecting.
- Greg Sanders: You're not helping, Hodges.
- Hodges: I have no intention to. Field rotation for the lab techs was Ecklie's idea. He was very explicit that I was only allowed to observe.
- Greg Sanders: This neighborhood rains lead.
- Gil Grissom: Yeah, and we have to process every last drop of it.
- Greg Sanders: We're going to make Bobby Dawson's boat payment this month.
- Greg Sanders: Open champagne bottle, white powder residue. Think it's coke?
- Gil Grissom: [shining his flashlight on brain matter and skull fragments] Well, then that must be his brain on drugs.
- Greg Sanders: Party till you drop.
- Gil Grissom: Or get shot. Which ever comes first.
- Drops: [to Nick] Now, come on, Crime Lab, I thought we was old buddies.
- Nick Stokes: The only thing we have in common, Kellen, are the dead bodies that seem to keep piling up around you.
- Nick Stokes: [to Drops] Okay, now, I need you to remove all of your clothing, including your shoes.
- [gives Drops some orange scrubs for him to wear]
- Nick Stokes: You can put these on for now and I'll come back to get them when you're done.
- Drops: No, thanks. Uh, I got one of my queens bringing me a suit. I will not be throwing on these nasty ass scrubs.
- Nick Stokes: You are covered in blood. Your clothes are evidence now and I'm going to come back in here and I'm going to get them. If not, you're just going to be standing here in your underwear.
- Drops: What underwear? I don't wear drawers.
- Nick Stokes: This is not a compromise, Kellen.
- [grabs his kit and things off the table and heads for the door; to Officer Mitchell]
- Nick Stokes: You might want to close your eyes or turn around or something.
- Henry Andrews: There were no drugs or alcohol in the limo driver's system.
- Greg Sanders: Really? What about Drops?
- Henry Andrews: Also clean. As was your head shot vic. Club scene's getting really tame these days.
- Gil Grissom: This image was captured on a cell phone at the scene. We believe that that is Aaron James.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: That fuzzy blob?
- Greg Sanders: We also found evidence of Aaron James inside the limo.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: Well, I hope it's better than this photo.
- Greg Sanders: It's DNA, along with traces of cocaine on a rolled-up $100 bill.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: Which doesn't place him in the limo. That bill could have been brought in there by anyone.
- Gil Grissom: We found a pattern in the blood on the seat next to the vic's. It doesn't match the clothes from the limo driver or Drops, so there was at least one other passenger in that limo and we need to question Aaron James.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: [to Greg] This city just paid Aaron James and his mother $2.5 million because you ran his brother over. Are you trying to find a way to give them more money?
- Greg Sanders: I'm just trying to do my job.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: You want to talk to Aaron James, give me more than snot on a bill and a dot on a crummy photo. This is a PR nightmare in the making.
- Greg Sanders: We still don't have a murder weapon. Aaron James could be destroying evidence right now.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: [to Greg] All right, first of all, stop talking. You're off the case.
- [to Grissom]
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: Everything he touched gets reprocessed.
- Greg Sanders: There's nothing wrong with my work.
- Gil Grissom: Okay. I know that. It's just standard procedure.
- Greg Sanders: Oh, procedure.
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: Open your mouth one more time and you're on suspension. I'm trying to avoid a harassment suit here. This is cover-our-ass time. Keep me apprised.
- [turns to leave]
- Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen: This would have been so much easier if you had been the black guy.
- Catherine Willows: Hey, Carey, there's blood in your car.
- Carey Corville: Yeah, it's, uh, my boy, Scotty. He had a nosebleed.
- Sofia Curtis: Scotty who?
- Carey Corville: Scotty Brittington.
- Catherine Willows: Well, it's a hell of a lot of blood for a nosebleed. Looks more consistent with the body of a bloody girl.
- Marla James: [to Greg] Taking one of my boys wasn't good enough for you, was it? Now you've got to take both? What did we ever do to you?
- Greg Sanders: Mrs. James, I don't have anything against you or your family.
- Marla James: Then what is it? Is it about the money? Then take it! I just want my boy back!
- Sara Sidle: Mrs. James, you need to calm down...
- Marla James: [to Sara] I'm not talking to you!
- Sara Sidle: Well, you're going to get yourself into trouble here.
- Officer: [to Marla] Ma'am, you're going to have to leave.
- Marla James: [scoffs] Protecting the nice white boy from the mean black lady.
- [the officer leads Marla back out to reception]
- Marla James: You've got to help me. You owe me. You owe me!
- Greg Sanders: [the officer escorts Marla back to reception; Greg turns the hallway and follows her] What do I owe you?
- Marla James: Yeah, like you don't know.
- Greg Sanders: I'll tell you what I know: I know that Demetrius was a killer. And Aaron... Aaron made the decision to hang out with Drops. He made the decision to do drugs, and to bring that girl into the limo. That's not on me. It's on him and you.
- Marla James: [turns and looks at Greg] Aaron is all I have left.
- [turns and walks away]
- Gil Grissom: [to Greg about Aaron James getting a suspended sentence] If the kid's brother hadn't died, would you have done the same?
- Greg Sanders: [shrugs] I don't know. I just, uh... you think it's wrong?
- Gil Grissom: Doesn't matter what I think.
- [after Mrs. James throws wine on her]
- Sofia Curtis: That could be considered assaulting an officer. Let's not make this harder than it has to be.
