Anyone interested in the wedding DVD?

GNGreg, Nick & Sara

Yeah.

Courtsey of Frank Rosetti. Owner of Cupid's Kiss. [(puts the DVD in)] All right, where do you wanna start?

GNGreg, Nick & Sara

The toast.

[Catherine puts on the toast, and they watch]

Dianne Chase [On DVD]: Everyone, everyone, I wanna thank you for coming. You know, the Bible says love is strong as death and as mother of the groom a wedding is bitter sweet. You are giving up as much as you are gaining. In some cases you are giving up much more. [loses her speech as she starts to get tipsy] To hell with it, I'll wing it. My Adam. He studied at Oxford, he went to Harvard school of business and of all the intelligent, wonderful, beautiful women he met along the way he ended up with Jill, plain little Jill. There's nothing wrong with her, but what's right with her, haha, even her name is boring. [turns to Adam] It's all right to take a lover, you just don't have to end up marrying her.. I mean, do you really wanna shallow our gene pool like this? [Adam tries to get her to leave] I wanna thank you all so much for coming, oh I love you Adam. [Catherine pauses the DVD after the toast is done]

Justifiable homicide?

So, you took the perimeter of the scene, right?

Nick

Yeah.

Well, I saw this guy in the shadows, Archie blew it up, looks more like a suspect than a guest. (shows Nick the pictures) That face look familiar?

Nick

Yeah, yeah, I caught that guy sleepin' one off in the bushes. It's the groom's old man.

Wow, I thought my wedding was bad.

(After Wendy tells them the DNA results)

We could compare them to the bucal swabs that we collected...if we still had them.

Well we'll just have to recollect them.

All 200 of them?

Yeah. And since we can't leave...someone else is...gonna have to recollect them.

Nick

This is crap. I've been waiting on IAB for 14 hours. I'm tired. And I kinda smell. And I don't have a friggen car.

Did you know the original role of the bridesmaid was to act as a human shield against the bride's enemies?

Women would dress similar to the bride in an effort to confuse and outsmart evil spirits that might try to overtake her on her wedding day.

Nick

Wow, for somebody who's anti-wedding you sure know a lot about it.

I'm not anti-wedding, I'm just anti-stupid. You know, people who do things for the sake of tradition with no clue as to why...

Grissom (gives her a look): Anyway...

I think I found a toupee, our vic may be bald.

Nick

Thanks that will help me distinguish it from the other severed heads I find out here.

Nick

Are you checking out my waist?

I'm a, I'm a 32 incher myself... same as in college.

Nick

Oh, congratulations.

You know, women aren't the only ones who feel the pressure to look good. Time was, having a rotund belly was a sign of prosperity and success... now, it just means you're a lazy glutton not getting any.

Pig and the piglets are in the pigpen.

About time. Finally some good news.

Did you know that Pig, a.k.a Cole Tritt, was the only adult? The rest of 'em were all under 18. One was 14.

Are you kidding? Who raises these kids?

I mean, they weren't all delinquents. Demetrius James was a college student.

Nick

Hangin' out with the wrong crowd in the wrong town. I'm tellin' ya, a fake I.D in Las Vegas is like havin' a--a free ticket on the hell train. Sex, drugs, gambling, no adult supervision, 24/7, by the time they're 21 they've done and seen it all.

Make me slit my wrists why don't ya? I'm raising a teenager here.

Ah, you're doin' a great job, Linds is gonna turn out to be a beautiful young woman. Besides, I grew up in Vegas, I didn't turn out so bad, did I?

Nick

Yeah. That was pre-Mirage. Back when you were a little squirt goin' to the casino, playin' the arcade games. Nah, Vegas is a different animal now.

Yeah, these kids need to beat people up in the street to be entertained. They need some good discipline, they need their grandmother whuppin' their ass like I had.

Nick

Yeah, a good slap.

You know, it kinda sounds like you guys are blaming everybody but these kids. I mean, you don't get a bye just because you grew up here or your parents are on drugs or--- those kids were perfectly capable of telling the difference between a wild night out and beating somebody to death.

The truth is, a moral compass can only point you in the right direction, it can't make you go there. Our culture preaches that you shouldn't be ashamed of anything you do anymore. And unfortunately this city is built on the principle that there's no such thing as guilt. "Do whatever you want, we won't tell." So without a conscience, there's nothing to stop you from killing someone. And evidently you don't even have to feel bad about it.

Well, I got a phone, and keys but no purse.

Nick

Mugging?

Take the purse, leave the Lexus?

Nick

Yeah, that's not real savvy, is it?

Nick

Sabbatical's usually a euphemism for sayonara. I don't think Grissom's coming back.

Why wouldn't he?

Nick

I don't know. He shaved his beard, lost a little weight, he's been leaving when shift is over, I think he even took a day off last week.

Maybe he's got himself a girlfriend.

Nick

That's what I'm saying. You know I thought you were going to leave a few months ago.

Why, because I shaved my beard?

ANAdam Novak

Why the hell's this department tailing my client?

Nick

Concern for his safety?

ANAdam Novak

That's cute. Jay Finch was acquitted of his mother's murder; he deserves all the rights of a free man.

Nick

With all due respect, Mr. Novak, no laws have been broken here.

ANAdam Novak

You can't try Finch twice for the same crime.

Nick

No, but you can for a different crime.

ANAdam Novak

Oh, I see this is a personal vendetta by CSI Willows.

Nick

Personal, to who?

ANAdam Novak

Me! She's a man-hater. No surprise, but how long do we have to pay for the sins of her father?

Nick

Y'know Catherine and I get along just great, maybe it's you.

I found a thriving miniature hobbyist community on-line. Sites where people meet, chat, exchange building tips, list stores they shop in.

Nick

[looking at the miniature of Grissom's office] So that's why you built this thing? I mean... other then to creep us all out?

My God. She was at the crime scene.

Nick

So she salvages the car, and somehow gets it out to the desert, and grabs Sara, and puts her under it?

I don't get it. What does Sara have to do with bleach?

I don't know. This just feels different.

It is different. [flashback to crime scene where Grissom takes a camera from Sara and caresses her arm] This girl holds me responsible for the death of Ernie Dell. I took away the only person she ever loved, so she's gonna do the same thing to me [everyone looks confused]

Nick

[talking about go karts] You know, when I was a kid we used to make these things out of lunch trays and old lawn mower engines.

When I was a kid, I used to make bombs.

Nick

[looks at Greg]

[holds his fingers up to indicate "small"] Little bombs.

[while searching Rhode's apartment] You know, if I had to gauge it by his apartment, I'd have to say that Alistair Rhodes is just a regular guy.

Nick

Yeah, I'm sure that's what he wants everyone to think too.
