Quotes 

• David Hodges : It's hard to believe that anybody could do something like this to such a beautiful little girl.

  Catherine Willows : So, if she had been plain or homely, it'd be easy for you to accept?

  David Hodges : No, but, maybe it's just me, when something like this happens to a kid with a face like that, it just seems a little more tragic.

  Catherine Willows : Maybe that will work in our favor.

  [Catherine walks away] 

  David Hodges : [to Grissom]  Did I just piss her off?

  Gil Grissom : Yeah, but she was heading that way when she came in.

• Catherine Willows : [to Leo Finley]  What are you doing here?

  Leo Finley : I was waiting for you.

  Catherine Willows : How did you get in here?

  Leo Finley : Can't we talk about something interesting? Me for instance. I'm interesting.

  Catherine Willows : Yeah, let's do that. Let's talk about you.

  Leo Finley : For starters, Norah left me. Actually, she threw my stuff out onto the street, got a restraining order on me, notified the neighbors and called my boss. "Hey, Scumbag. Don't bother coming in, we'll mail you your last check." So in one fell swoop, as it were, I lost my girlfriend, my livelihood and my place to live. I thought it was going to be different this time. Frankly, I blame you.

  Catherine Willows : I didn't create the circumstances of your life, Leo.

  Leo Finley : You grind up the innocent with the guilty.

  Catherine Willows : Just take it easy. I was just doing my job.

  Leo Finley : [mockingly]  I was just doing my job.

  Catherine Willows : Yeah, I was just doing my job.

  Leo Finley : I was just doing my job. I was just following orders. Blonde Nazi bitch! You get in there with your big boots and you kick it all apart and you don't care who you hurt. Whose life you destroy in the process.

  Catherine Willows : Calm down.

  Leo Finley : No! It's not fair.

  Catherine Willows : Calm down!

  Leo Finley : Don't tell me to calm down!

  Catherine Willows : [draws her gun]  Just stay back and calm down!

  Leo Finley : You going to shoot me? Would that help you figure out how completely you screwed my life up? Would you sleep better at night? Maybe I should just save you the trouble and blow my own brains out. What do you think?

  Catherine Willows : I think you need to talk to somebody.

  Leo Finley : I am talking to somebody. I'm talking to you. So how about this, if I do decide to kill myself, I'm going to come over to your house and blow my brains out right on your front lawn. As a gift to you and everything you stand for. How does that work for you?
