Quotes 

• Dr. Al Robbins : [to Catherine]  Kids don't belong in the coroner's office unless they're in a drawer. You should've found a different way to deal with your daughter's rebellion.

  Catherine Willows : Well, with due respect, Doc, this doesn't concern you.

  Dr. Al Robbins : Ever notice how childhood keeps getting shorter and shorter? Whose fault is that?

  Catherine Willows : I honestly don't know!

• Catherine Willows : [to Lindsey]  Mouthing off to teachers, slipping grades, and now hitchhiking. I mean what's next, Lindsey?

  Lindsey Willows : Stripping.

  Catherine Willows : What did you just say? Okay, no phone, no friends, no nothing.

  Lindsey Willows : For how long?

  Catherine Willows : A month.

  Lindsey Willows : Whatever.

  Catherine Willows : Hey, you want to make it two?

  Lindsey Willows : Dad always said you were a drama queen.

  Catherine Willows : Well, what do you expect, Lindsey, since he was always high.

  Lindsey Willows : I'd take Dad high over you any day! Nana's coming to pick me up. I'll be out front.

• Catherine Willows : [to Gil]  Have you been to bed?

  Gil Grissom : Yes.

  Catherine Willows : Did you sleep?

  [pauses] 

  Catherine Willows : Me neither. She was the same age as Lindsey. She was trying to hitchhike.

  Gil Grissom : Where was she going?

  Catherine Willows : Fremont Street.

  Gil Grissom : Was she buying drugs?

  Catherine Willows : No! She's twelve. She's... just so angry. She doesn't talk to me.

  Gil Grissom : Well, if enough people knew what was out there hunting them, they'd never leave their house. I think you need to sit her down.

  Catherine Willows : Well, I don't want to scare her. I don't want my daughter to be this... frightened, paranoid kid who's always looking over her shoulder.

  Gil Grissom : Catherine, there's a big difference between scaring her and preparing her. And all the reasons why you should are in that room.

• Sybil Perez : [to Catherine about Alicia]  You have no idea what it's like.

  Catherine Willows : I saw her medical records. I looked at her x-rays. I know what that little girl suffered, what you put her through.

  Sybil Perez : So you would let your child die and do nothing. Never. No, you'd talk to doctors and research. And then you'd find out that the national bone marrow registry can't help you 'cause your son is mixed race. And even if he wasn't, there aren't enough donors. Out of four million, only 205,000 are Latino. I did what I had to do.

  Catherine Willows : You put one child over another.

  Sybil Perez : [scoffs]  I don't expect you to understand. You don't have kids.

  Catherine Willows : Uh, I have a daughter.

  Sybil Perez : So, what kind of mother are you? When do you see her? You work nights. You probably don't even know where she is half the time. Alicia's life may not have been simple, but at least I knew her. Can you say the same?
