- Dr. Al Robbins: [after David has performed an autopsy on a living man, who later passes on] All right David, take two.
- Gil Grissom: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.
- Catherine Willows: We're up a tree and you're quoting Poe? Give me something else.
- Gil Grissom: Quoth the Raven, only this and nothing more.
- Nick Stokes: [in the lab, looking at an object from the landfill] Found a pregnancy test. Better luck next time.
- [sets it aside]
- Sara Sidle: You know the average Nevadan generates more waste more than three times waste than the average American?
- Nick Stokes: Yeah, well, that's tourist trash.
- Sara Sidle: Thirteen million pounds per day. I went to the recycling forum in March.
- Nick Stokes: Man! You find the best evidence in the nastiest places.
- Catherine Willows: You are what you throw away.
- Sara Sidle: It's like peeling an onion into peoples' lives.
- Catherine Willows: Well, this onion is our time line, so peel back accordingly.
- Warrick Brown: I hear David's resurrecting the dead now.
- Gil Grissom: [chuckles] Yeah, our little miracle worker.
- Clyde Hinton: You know the definition of "kismet," Mr. Grissom?
- Gil Grissom: Do you know the definition of "attempted murder", Mr. Hinton?
- Catherine Willows: [to Daniel Easton] Want to mulligan on your first story? "Divorced"?
- Daniel Easton: What the hell was I supposed to say? My wife went out to get her hair done and never came home.
- Catherine Willows: Well, maybe you gave her a reason to leave. Spousal abuse, cheating...
- Daniel Easton: Aww, you people. You know, you were here 5 years ago with your grid searches, your dogs, your cadets. You came up empty. You give me a good reason why my wife left me, I'd love to hear it because I tried the truth. I didn't know what happened. You know what I got for it? They all think I killed my wife. Her parents sued me for custody. I lost my job, my friends. Only thing I got left are those kids and this house.
- Catherine Willows: Okay, you didn't kill her. At least back then.
- Sara Sidle: [to Catherine about Nora Easton] She's a virgin? What are we talking about, an immaculate conception?
- Catherine Willows: More like the immaculate perception.
- Catherine Willows: [to Nora about murdering her mother] And then you put your mother in the freezer and you waited until trash day.
- Nora Easton: That's a horrible story.
- Catherine Willows: It's not a story. It's what the evidence tells us really happened.
- Nora Easton: What kind of a mother would do that? I'm helpful. I do what needs to be done.
- Catherine Willows: I know. You take care of things.
- Nora Easton: [crying] I never ask for anything!
- Catherine Willows: And all you wanted was the one thing that you couldn't have.
- Nora Easton: It's not my fault. I'm innocent.
- Catherine Willows: You were innocent, Nora. You're not anymore.
- Jim Brass: [to Catherine] Have you ever seen anything like this before?
- Catherine Willows: How it manifested? No. But the cause? People throw things away every day.
