- Sara Sidle: Technically, that makes you a cannibal.
- Sara Sidle: [pause] Grissom would be proud.
- Greg Sanders: Grissom would've tasted it on purpose.
- Warrick Brown: You know, what happened to Nick - it just got me thinking. Life is so short, you know? It's almost... it's almost shorter than we wanna ever believe.
- Catherine Willows: "Live for the day."
- Warrick Brown: Exactly. So, I, ah, I've been heading to ask this young lady I've been seeing, Tina, to marry me.

- Gil Grissom: Get used to it, pal.

- Randy Swansiger: I was watching TV!

- Gil Grissom: I'm not a pervert.
- Walter Gordon: [voice on tape, taunting] Hi, CSI guy. You're wondering why you're here? Because you followed the evidence... So, breathe quick, breathe slow. Put your gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. Any way you like, you're gonna die here.
- [Catherine and Warrick arrive at the crime scene and are met by officer Michaels, who was present when Nick was abducted in the previous episode]
