Robert Joy: Sid Hammerback

Quotes 

• [Jo is trying to determine why Sid has been acting suspiciously] 

  Sid Hammerback : It's the Hammerback Sleeper.

  [flashback to Sid asking Mac to test the prototype] 

  Sid Hammerback : I give you... the Hammerback Sleeper.

  Mac Taylor : "You'll sleep like a corpse"?

  Sid Hammerback : It's an experimental pillow I've developed after years of working in the M.E.'s Office.

  [back to Autopsy] 

  Jo Danville : I've heard about it. What's the problem?

  Sid Hammerback : I just sold the patent this morning.

  Jo Danville : Well, congratulations. That's good, isn't it?

  Sid Hammerback : Oh, yeah. Um, it was purchased by a Japanese firm. Apparently, they're going to market it as an anti-snoring pillow.

  Jo Danville : Anti-snoring, huh? God, I could have used that with my ex-husband. I would've paid dearly for that.

  Sid Hammerback : [choking up]  Yep. That's pretty much what they did.

  Jo Danville : Sid, are you okay?

  Sid Hammerback : [still emotional]  Uh... actually, no. I'm, um... incredible. Jo, they bought my patent... for $27 million.

  Jo Danville : What?

  Sid Hammerback : I'm a very rich man, and-and I have no idea what to do about it.
