Quotes 

• Dr. Phillip Gerard : [to Grissom]  You're not running evidence. Or have you changed your mind?

  [Grissom doesn't say anything] 

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : By the way, tell your mother I say 'Hello' next time you talk. I was so impressed that night we all had dinner. The sign language... how you interpreted for her. Fluid, didn't miss a beat.

  Gil Grissom : What'd you do, subpoena my doctor?

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : Knowing your genetic predisposition for hearing loss?

  Gil Grissom : You've become a bottom feeder, Philip.

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : Your work is dependent upon your five senses. The fact that you're losing one of yours wouldn't bode well for any evidence you introduced.

  Gil Grissom : You know, all those years I worked for you, you never got to know me at all, did you?

• Dr. Phillip Gerard : Gil, good work.

  Gil Grissom : My team did it, Philip. I got good CSI's.

  [signs to Gerard] 

  Gil Grissom : Oh, and, uh, my mother says hello.

• Nick Stokes : [as they are reviewing video surveillance]  Looks like Raymond was disposing of the bodies for your client. You think he ran out of time before he could move Kim's out?

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : Or Ray was disposing of them for himself. You've just supplied Tom Haviland with reasonable doubt.

  Nick Stokes : No. What I showed you on video is Ray in the casino during the time the murders were committed.

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : His zeal is clouding his judgment. It's not what did happen; it's what the jury will believe could have happened.

• Gil Grissom : [to Gerard]  What happened to you? You were a pioneer in forensic science. How many bad guys did you put away in Hennepin County?

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : My share. How many innocent men have been locked away since then because of sloppy investigating shortcut forensics?

  Gil Grissom : You look for mistakes in any lab, you'll find them.

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : I shouldn't be able to, Gil.

  Gil Grissom : Humans are fallible.

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : Not this fallible: compromised blood, sweetheart deals...

  Gil Grissom : No, no, no, no. You're subverting good evidence. These are good people.

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : The accused is entitled to the best defense possible.

  Gil Grissom : The accused is entitled, yeah. He's a movie star, that's why he's entitled. He's killed two women. You know it. But you're willing to decimate these CSIs so that you can spoon-feed a jury into letting him walk.

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : A jury believes me because of my reputation just like they do you.

  Gil Grissom : The difference is, Philip, I get the same paycheck regardless of what I testify to.

  Dr. Phillip Gerard : I'm saying this as a friend. For the reputation of CSI, tell the D.A. to drop this, re-file down the road.

  Gil Grissom : What about the victims' families? Who's their friend?

  [Gerard doesn't answer] 

  Gil Grissom : My guys will see you in court.
