It's kind of like that old saying: 'How a person does one thing is...
... how a person does everything.'

“To Halve and to Hold” · Season 1, Episode 14
In this episode: Gil Grissom (4), Catherine Willows (3), Sara Sidle (1), Greg Sanders (1), Sgt. O'Riley (1)
'Catherine: (alarmed) What are you doing?
Bones are porous. They stick to the tongue (puts piece in mouth again) and this doesn't stick. (puts it back down) It's a piece of rock.
I-I hope you had your hepatitis B shot. (Grissom gets up and starts searching for more bones, Catherine follows) Did you? (Cuts to Grissom and Catherine walking toward a cadet, who may have found a piece of bone)
Could be a piece of wrist bone.
Well, do you want to suck on it? To be sure?
[Referring to a victim's vagina] It DOES tell a monologue.
'Sara: So, ladies of the wedding party, you get a free course in the forensics of sexual intercourse. Secrets of our trade. Lynn, when you had your exam for sexual assault a SART nurse makes a clock like this. (turns around and picks up a piece of chalk to illustrate on the blackboard) This is the vagina. It does tell a monologue. Some bruising is normal when sex occurs. Injuries at 11:00 ... 12:00 or 1:00 indicate consensual sex or what we would call "avid." Injuries around the dinner hour ... five, six, or seven, indicate forced entry. The woman hasn't done anything to help her partner thus sustaining serious bruising.
Sidle, I'm going to be just outside the door.
Skeletal muscle of Mel Bennett. It goes in... contents come out. In 30 seconds.. bioassay. I like saying that word. Bioassay. Sounds nubian.
So, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
How amazing the universe is. Everything made from the same carbon, stars to trees, trucks to human bones.
Uh, no, I was thinking that we have about 100 bone fragments. We could ID this body before the end of the shift.
Hmm.
Stars and trucks?
(About a bone that was found in the desert) Well, it is a leg bone and my guess is that it didn't walk out here by itself.
It could have been a hiker who got lost. It's interesting to me how you always expect the worst.
You see, that way I'm never disappointed. And sometimes I'm nicely surprised. So, is this a crime scene?
Potential crime scene. Did you know there are 206 bones in the human body?
Catherine: Yes professor. I, too, took osteology.
Well, 205 more bones and we have a complete skelton. If we find the rest then we can determine if or if not it was a murder.
Well, I feel it in everyone of my 206 bones that this was a murder.
