Quotes 

• Warrick Brown : You don't recognize that guy, do you? It's Tom Haviland, movie star.

  Gil Grissom : Clark Gable was a movie star.

• Warrick Brown : Damn! Why didn't I see that coming? Gambling?

  Nick Stokes : Hey, we're all in Nevada. It's legal; don't worry about it.

  Warrick Brown : Legal doesn't matter in there. You know the judge is going to throw out our blood evidence, right?

  Nick Stokes : Truth is, it is compromised, Warrick.

  Warrick Brown : The blood is fine. It's their methods that are dirty.

• Gil Grissom : Tom Haviland's attorneys are not waiving time.

  Nick Stokes : Are you serious?

  Sara Sidle : They're actually exercising their right to a speedy trial?

  Gil Grissom : No requests for continuances, no stall tactics. They're pushing for their day in court.

  Warrick Brown : Good defense attorney always does the last thing you expect.

  Catherine Willows : Yeah. What typically drags on for months has now been put on the fast track and the prelim is less than 72 hours.

  Greg Sanders : I'm only done processing half the evidence.

  Catherine Willows : You're going to have to call in help, because if the judge thinks that our evidence isn't strong enough to go to trial, he's going to dismiss the charges on Tom.

  Sara Sidle : Can't the D.A. drop the charges and we'll refile when we get our evidence together?

  Catherine Willows : Sure, but the odds are that Tom will relocate to Europe and pull a Polanski.

  Greg Sanders : And what's a Polanski?

  Gil Grissom : Get-out-of-jail-free card. One more thing: Westcott just added a forensic scientist to their roster. She wants him to examine every piece of evidence we have against Haviland.

  Nick Stokes : As soon as it's processed they'll get a copy of our report.

  Gil Grissom : They're entitled to see it as it's processed.

  Nick Stokes : I've never done a case where the defendant took advantage of that rule of discovery.

  Gil Grissom : Well, when you can't attack the evidence itself, you attack the method of gathering the evidence.

  Sara Sidle : So who's their guy?

  Gil Grissom : Dr. Phillip Gerard.

  Sara Sidle : Phillip Gerard? Your mentor is their forensic scientist?

  Gil Grissom : Yeah. Marjorie Westcott's a smart lawyer.

• Warrick Brown : I just got served. Movie star's lawyer wants the shirt that I wore to the crime scene.

  Gil Grissom : So give it to him.

  Gil Grissom : I had to throw it out.

  Gil Grissom : Why?

  Warrick Brown : It was covered in the blood from the accident victim.

  Gil Grissom : Well, you have to find it; otherwise, it'll look like you've got something to hide.

  Warrick Brown : Oh, CSI's on trial now?

  Gil Grissom : CSI's always on trial, Warrick; you know this. Burden of proof is on us.
