Catherine Willows quotes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Catherine

Autopsy report. Cause of death, cardiac arrest.

Nick

That's coroner speak for "I can't explain what killed her."

Catherine

No organ damage, no disease, no trauma, this was a perfectly healthy young woman.

Nick

Yeah, 'til she dropped dead without dropping.

Riley

[while searching the victim's apartment] The naughty drawer.

Catherine

What?

Riley

[picks up a bag of weed that's in the drawer and sniffs it] Hydroponic, medical grade, put-you-on-your-ass, send-you-to-dreamy-land weed. Nurses always got the good stuff. [smells the weed again]

Catherine

Uh, I take it you're aware of the lab's random drug testing policy?

Riley

Oh yeah, I got a bottle of clean urine in my locker just in case. I'm kidding.

Catherine

[laughs awkwardly] Good one. Here, I'll bag it. [Catherine smells it before she bags it]

Catherine

Lividity says the victims died in the positions in which they were discovered.

Riley

So, what does that mean? That the killer's using some sort of gas chamber?

Grissom

I think so. He lures someone back to his place, slips them a sedative, then re-dresses and positions the bodies inside a sealed container, waits for the carbon monoxide to go to work. Once the bodies are in full rigor, he's got about ten hours to place them and have them discovered.

Nick

Now that we know the recipe, let's find the cook.

Hodges

My shoes are ruined. Why didn't you tell me to wear boots? Or better yet, hire some more CSIs.

Catherine

Trust me, you were my last choice.

Hodges

Thank you.

Henry

Ran tox on hamburger head, lows levels of THC and alcohol. For what it's worth I don't think he was injecting weed or beer into his nipples. Although, this, uh, one time Hodges and I were growing botox and he goes and he injects it...

Catherine

It's okay Henry, I don't need to know anymore.

Catherine

You're a doctor, is that normal?

Robbins

Grissom being socially awkward? Yeah, that's normal.

Catherine

So this guy gets out of jail and under the running time of The Godfather, he's dead.

Riley

Well, a lot of people die at the end of Godfather.

One of my video analysts caught news of your double in Koreatown and recognized the male vic while scanning one of our video feeds from a unrelated shoplifting investigation.

Brass

Wow.

Catherine

Video analyst?

Yeah, why what do you call 'em?

Catherine

Wow. You've got some really great cameras.

As good as any on the strip. In fact our crime lab is better equipped than most in the country.

Catherine

Now, that's a crime.

Catherine

Our girl's done time. Three months for prostitution.

Greg

Three months, that's pretty harsh for Vegas.

Catherine

Prostitution with HIV.

Greg

Oh, that's like pointing a gun and pulling the trigger.

Hodges

Was treated hardwood and white ash; known for its durable bending quality and hardness. Not unlike me.

Catherine

You didn't learn anything in sensitivity training, did you?

Hodges

I took what I needed and I left the rest.

Catherine

Nicky, for God's sake, are you trying to break your arm?

Nick

Don't sweat it, I tried it on the dummy first. Didn't break his arm, it's not gonna break mine.

Hodges

It became clear during our experiments that it would take something far more massive than an aluminum mailbox to generate the force necessary to cause the fracture in the victims arm.

Nick

We're thinking telephone pole, sign post, I'm gonna go back to the crime scene and check it out.

Catherine

Then why are you guys still in here smashing mailboxes?

Hodges

Because it's fun. My turn!

Grissom

So, let's assume that 'shoe print' was involved in all four murders. It's possible he knew, Gerald, right? Is it also possible that he was an accomplice of D.J.K.?

Greg

That would explain the 9 post-mortem stab wounds in Ian Wallace. It's a continuation of the master's work.

Catherine

But if he was D.J.K.'s helper, back in the day, why go quiet for 10 years and then suddenly start killing again?

Greg

Maybe he was doing time?

Grissom

Maybe that's what brought the old thrill back. Once these guys get a taste, it never seems to go away.

Ray

so all you had was an eyewitness who was a half a mile away, testimony from Jeremy Ken't ex-cellmate and a single fingerprint from a rock?

Catherine

Back then it was enough.

Got it figured out? Legal just put this on my desk. [Hands Catherine an envelope.]

Catherine

I've been subpoenaed by Jeremy Kent. He's requesting a pre-trial conference.

Nick

Yeah, he probably wants to talk to you about how he got life based on a rock.
