William Petersen: CSI Dr. Gil Grissom

Quotes 

• Gil Grissom : Hello, David.

  David Phillips : Hello, Grissom.

  Gil Grissom : David Phillips, everyone. Our excellent assistant coroner and baseball trivia expert.

• Gil Grissom : Part of being a CSI is learning to work in the absence of absolute certainty. Each and every case brings us a new opportunity to learn something. For instance, in the case of Donna Basset, we can see that there is no such thing as an insignificant detail.

  [points to Rebecca McGill] 

  Gil Grissom : Here, the evidence itself can bear witness. Don't just look for what you think you're going to find.

  [points to Jack Day] 

  Gil Grissom : And this one, never impose logic on an illogical act.

  [points to Ray and Lou] 

  Gil Grissom : And finally, if the evidence changes, your theory must change as well. Questions?

  Male student : [raises his hand]  How do you deal with the smell?

  Gil Grissom : You get used to it.

• Male student : I'm not sure I can do this.

  Gil Grissom : Well, not everyone can.

  Smart Girl : Why do you do it?

  Gil Grissom : Because the dead can't speak for themselves.
