[Nick and Sara sifting through rubbish they found near their victim]
Home pregnancy test, negative. Better luck next time.

[after Dr. Robbins has performed an autopsy on a living man, who later passes on]
Alright David, take two.
She's a virgin?! So what are we talking here immaculate conception?
More like the immaculate perception. Pseudocyesis: imagined pregnancy.
It's all in her head? Well, that would explain what she was doing in Dad's bed.
Fantasizing.
Grissom (looking at the eyeball): Well, someone's missing a contact lens.
That's not all they're missing.
You know, ravens, like eagles, have been known to travel 30 miles from roost to feeding ground.
30 miles in every direction. Pi-r-squared. That means that we're looking at a ... 2,800 mile search area.
"Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore."
We're up a tree and you're quoting Poe. Give me something.
Grissom (holding the eyeball): "Quoth the raven: Only this and nothing more."
Hey, I hear David's resurrecting the dead now.
Grissom (chuckles): Yeah, our little miracle worker.
CClyde
Look, everyone tries to get an edge in this business. I use jokes.
Warrick (hangs up the phone): Fred Sterns just passed away. Again.
Dead guy. Not funny.
Sara (at a garbage dump): You know the average Nevadan generates three times more waste than the average American?
Yeah, well that's tourist trash.
Thirteen million pounds per day. I went to the recycling forum in March.
The landfill manager says this is the active cell. Spotter says cell lift moves forward 20 feet a day. That puts the active cell right ... pretty much in front of us.
Man! You find the best evidence in the nastiest places.
You are what you throw away.
It's like peeling an onion in peoples' lives.
Well, this onion is our time line so peel back accordingly.
Heard you got to be superhero today.
I consider myself a superhero every day.
Cans are on private property, it's not trash day, how did you get consent?
I talked to the president of the owner's association.
What'd you threaten her with?
A return visit.
Catherine (about the vic): What kind of identifying characteristics do we have?
Second degree midline episiotomy scar.
Well, that narrows it down to more than half the women in this country who gave birth.
But there might be one other thing. At first I thought appendectomy, but check out her x-ray. She's had surgery. Some kind of implant at the L4-L5 interspace. I'll know more when I open her up.
You're my hero, Al.
An artificial spinal disc. If you can recreate a spine the possibilities are endless.
I thought, uh, disc replacement surgery involved fusing bone to bone.
Eh, typically, but it can limit mobility. With that little disc, your body doesn't know the difference. Matches range of motion, flexibility and an axial rotation of a normal spine. Still in clinical trials. Less than a thousand surgeries have been performed in this country.
Oh, well, I like those odds.
You'll like this even better. Medium endplate, size 12, polyethylene component and a six-degree lordosis angle. Narrowed it down to one. Amy Ennis. Austin, Texas.
Tourist?
Doc Robbins (chuckles): That's for you to find out.
You know it's illegal in the state of Nevada to have venomous snakes?
MMarty
If you handle them correctly, snakes are harmless. I know what I'm doing.
Yeah, that's what we're afraid of.
MMarty
You going to arrest me for blurring the lines?
No. We were leaning towards murder.
Have you ever seen anything like this before?
How it manifested? No. But the cause? (beat) People throw things away every day.
You ever buy a brand-new car, Griss?
Depreciation doesn't make it a logical investment.
It's not about logic. It's about that smell. There's nothing like the smell of a brand-new car.
