- [a rat has just climbed out of a murder victim's mouth]
- Captain Jim Brass: Whoa.
- Gil Grissom: I think she just ratted herself out.
- [later, before the victim's autopsy]
- Dr. Al Robbins: Heard about the rat. Hope it didn't have any children.
- Sara Sidle: [looking at a hair sample through a microscope] I got crabs.
- Gil Grissom: [looks up] Excuse me?
- Warrick Brown: Looks like ginkwork. It's the kind of thing speed freaks do when they've been up for 10 days straight and they've already taken apart the radio.
- Sara Sidle: Yeah. I write everything down in shorthand. You couldn't read it.
- Warrick Brown: Shorthand?
- Sara Sidle: Keeps things in order.
- Warrick Brown: You're not a control freak or anything?
- Sara Sidle: [smiles and mumbles] No.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: [about the victim] Somebody wanted her dead.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Supervisor Dr. Gil Grissom: They also wanted her ugly.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Supervisor Dr. Gil Grissom: Hey, Cassie, you know that scarf you gave Tookie?
- Cassie James: Yeah, I know it.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Supervisor Dr. Gil Grissom: Did your sister give that to you or... did you steal it from her?
- Cassie James: I should have stole it because sh-sh-she stole from me.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Supervisor Dr. Gil Grissom: What did she steal from you?
- Cassie James: My life.
- Rod Darling: [to Catherine] Let me tell you something. For every piece of meat, there has to be a butcher.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: So you led her to the slaughter?
