- Dr. Al Robbins: What is it about organized sports?
- Gil Grissom: Well, organized sports is the paradigmatic model of a just society... Everyone knows the same language, everyone knows the rules, and there's a specific punishment handed out the moment someone tries to cheat. It's instant morality.
- Gil Grissom: There are three things in life that people like to stare at. A rippling stream, a fire in a fireplace and a zamboni going round and round.
- Sara Sidle: Charlie Brown. 'I love a zamboni'
- [Gil and Catherine are investigating the bedroom of a stockbroker who was killed playing hockey]
- Catherine Willows: It's never a good sign when a guy has more women than chairs.
- Gil Grissom: What's the ratio here?
- Catherine Willows: Judging from these stains, I'd say four women for every piece of furniture including the TV. At least we know what this guy was about - bucks, pucks and... chicks.
- [upon discovering massive amounts of weapons present at a hockey game]
- Gil Grissom: It looks like these guys went to a fight and a hockey game broke out.
- Sara Sidle: You sucked at team sports, huh?
- Greg Sanders: I was captain of the high school chess squad.
- Sara Sidle: [Greg is explaining how he was captain of the high school chess squad] Chess is not a sport, Greg. Sports are physical.
- Greg Sanders: Well, sex is physical. So is that a sport?
- Sara Sidle: Not to me.
