Quotes 

• Sara Sidle : There was another guy in that room. That's, that's great. The defense has us moving so fast we can't make sense of our own evidence.

  Gil Grissom : That's what they want.

• Sara Sidle : [to Grissom]  I've looked at everything in that hotel room. Nothing matches that pattern.

  Gil Grissom : What about the booking photos of Tom? Were you able to make comparisons off those?

  Sara Sidle : I told Brass that I needed them; he hasn't sent me anything yet.

  Gil Grissom : This case is a moving target. I'll get ahold of Brass.

  [notices Sara is dressed for her court appearance] 

  Gil Grissom : You look nice.

  Sara Sidle : Thanks. Wish me luck.

  [turns to leave] 

  Gil Grissom : Sara? Whatever happens in court, it's not because you're seeing this guy. You deserve to have a life.

• Atty. Marjorie Westcott : [to Sara]  You date... you and Hank. You share a subtle communication. Did he move the bra to where you might have wanted it?

  Sara Sidle : I didn't want it anywhere. I collect evidence without emotion.

  Atty. Marjorie Westcott : You do get emotionally involved, though with the men on your cases. Hank Peddigrew isn't the first time.

  Sara Sidle : Excuse me?

  Atty. Marjorie Westcott : A murder investigation at the residence of one Charles Renteria. Eyewitness stated he saw you and your supervisor Gil Grissom standing alone outside and you were touching him in a romantic gesture.

  Sara Sidle : I brushed chalk from his face.

  Atty. Marjorie Westcott : Is that what they're calling it now?

  Prosecutor for CSI : Objection, your honor.

  Sara Sidle : Drywall dust. We were looking for a body.

  Atty. Marjorie Westcott : It's a fair question, your honor. Just how far will Ms. Sidle go on the evidence to please her boss, Gil Grissom, whether he returns her attentions or not?

• Gil Grissom : Tom Haviland's attorneys are not waiving time.

  Nick Stokes : Are you serious?

  Sara Sidle : They're actually exercising their right to a speedy trial?

  Gil Grissom : No requests for continuances, no stall tactics. They're pushing for their day in court.

  Warrick Brown : Good defense attorney always does the last thing you expect.

  Catherine Willows : Yeah. What typically drags on for months has now been put on the fast track and the prelim is less than 72 hours.

  Greg Sanders : I'm only done processing half the evidence.

  Catherine Willows : You're going to have to call in help, because if the judge thinks that our evidence isn't strong enough to go to trial, he's going to dismiss the charges on Tom.

  Sara Sidle : Can't the D.A. drop the charges and we'll refile when we get our evidence together?

  Catherine Willows : Sure, but the odds are that Tom will relocate to Europe and pull a Polanski.

  Greg Sanders : And what's a Polanski?

  Gil Grissom : Get-out-of-jail-free card. One more thing: Westcott just added a forensic scientist to their roster. She wants him to examine every piece of evidence we have against Haviland.

  Nick Stokes : As soon as it's processed they'll get a copy of our report.

  Gil Grissom : They're entitled to see it as it's processed.

  Nick Stokes : I've never done a case where the defendant took advantage of that rule of discovery.

  Gil Grissom : Well, when you can't attack the evidence itself, you attack the method of gathering the evidence.

  Sara Sidle : So who's their guy?

  Gil Grissom : Dr. Phillip Gerard.

  Sara Sidle : Phillip Gerard? Your mentor is their forensic scientist?

  Gil Grissom : Yeah. Marjorie Westcott's a smart lawyer.

• Sara Sidle : Vic didn't sustain any trauma that would've caused a medium velocity spatter.

  Sara Sidle : She wouldn't have. I think her throat was slashed, to shut her up. She was collateral damage. My guess... these blood patterns mean that Tonya's dead. And I bet she was the first to die. Rage killing.

• Catherine Willows : So, I've checked every plumbing fixture in this place. There's no blood.

  Sara Sidle : Grissom said he found blood under Movie Boy's nailbeds.

  Catherine Willows : And that sheet looks like a butcher's apron. Movie Boy had to wash his hands someplace.
