Quotes 

• Sara Sidle : [Sara and Grissom sit facing each other. The light from the setting sun filters through the darkening room]  It's funny... the things that you remember and the things that you don't, you know. There was a smell of iron in the air. Cast-off on the bedroom wall. There was this young cop puking his guts. I remember the woman who took me to foster care. I can't remember her name, which is strange, you know, 'cause I couldn't let go of her hand.

  Grissom : Well... the mind has its filters.

  Sara Sidle : I do remember the looks. I became the girl whose father was stabbed to death. Do you think there's a murder gene?

  Grissom : I don't believe that genes are a predictor of violent behavior.

  Sara Sidle : You wouldn't know that in my house. The fights, the yelling, the trips to the hospital. I thought it was the way that everybody lived. When my mother killed my father, I found out that it wasn't.

  [Sara starts to cry. Grissom reaches out and holds her hand] 

• Catherine Willows : You know, every time we get a case with a hint of domestic violence or abuse, you go off the deep end. What is your problem?

  Sara Sidle : Yeah, I probably do, and you let your sexuality cloud your judgment about men, and I'm gonna go over your head.

• Sara Sidle : [to Ecklie]  The only reason this is your lab is because Grissom doesn't kiss ass. You couldn't hack it in the field, so you fail your way up, you break up our team, and now you just hang out in the hallways waiting for one of us to screw up.

• [Grissom comes to Sara's residence] 

  Sara Sidle : Well, if you're here, it can't be good... Can I get you anything?

  Grissom : Sure. An explanation.
