I have a daughter who's so starved to my attention she is storming right to Fremont Street to see her grandfather, the last person I want her around, I mean that's not so much better with my mother who sees Lyndsey much more than I do.

  C.S.I. Night Shift Supervisor Dr. Gil Grissom : I do. Which is why I already sent in your AP, I gave you a 100 percent I've put it in a good word to the director. The rest is up to you. And, I hope you get it.

  C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows : Thank you
