- Gil Grissom: I thought you'd want to know what happened to Wendy.
- Mimosa: I appreciate your telling me. Killed by someone in our own community. As if we don't have enough enemies. Her parents never understood her, but still I think they should know. What do I say?
- Gil Grissom: Show them an oyster.
- Mimosa: I'm sorry?
- Gil Grissom: There are two types of male oysters, and one of them can change genders at will. And before man crawled out of the muck, maybe he had the same option. Maybe originally we were supposed to be able to switch genders, and being born with just one sex... is a mutation.
- Warrick Brown: One, two, three, four jars of depilatory cream?
- Sara Sidle: That's a lot of bikini wax. Some girls hate the nether-stubble.
- Warrick Brown: Nether-stubble?
- Gil Grissom: Beauty is a societal construction.
- Mimosa: So is gender. People find out you're MTF and they think you're psycho. Michael Caine with a bad wig and a pair of sunglasses stabbing Angie Dickinson in "Dressed to Kill."
- Catherine Willows: Women in convertibles are low-hanging fruit.
- Gil Grissom: And it was a top-down night.
- David Phillips: You'd be surprised how many women I get on this table with fake parts.
- Catherine Willows: Plastic lasts longer.
- Gil Grissom: Aborigines say they dance naked to make the gods happy.
- Catherine Willows: The gods would be happy in Vegas.
- Jim Brass: Lepidro. What kind of name is that?
- Gil Grissom: It's from Lepidoptera, meaning "butterfly." Walter Clancy started out a gender-dysmorphic caterpillar and turned into a bloody butterfly.
- Jim Brass: Love hurts.
- Nick Stokes: [after the body of a deceased woman is found in a storage unit] Catherine.
- Catherine Willows: Yeah?
- Nick Stokes: What do you think went on here?
- Catherine Willows: Someone outsourced their health care to the wrong provider.
- Al Robbins: Piano wires. They're used to mobilize the lower part of the abdominal skin and anchor the neo-vagina, so it can heal in place.
- Catherine Willows: I can only imagine those cramps.
- Dr. Mona Lavelle: I attended Vern's surgery. He was... terrified. I tried to calm him.
- Jim Brass: Can't get any calmer than dead.
