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