Quotes

Ryan: You and Natalia. Is everything good now?
Eric: What's up, Wolfe?
Ryan: I went to a party at her house the other night, you weren't there, I was the last one to leave, so, uh, I was wondering.
Eric: Wondering what?
Ryan: Uh...you and Natalia...you guys...still doing your thing?
Eric: No. No, we backed off.
Ryan: Really.
Eric: Yeah, really.
Ryan: Because we were talking, and um, I got the feeling that she was interested...
Eric: Yeah, interested in what?
Ryan: Me.
Eric: (laughing) She's interested in you?
Ryan: Yeah, it's just a vibe she was throwing me.
Eric: Vibe, huh?
Ryan: Yeah! And before I did anything, before it went any further, I just wanted to clear it with you.
Eric: You wanted to clear it with me?
Ryan: Yeah, I wanted to...I wanted to get the green light.
Eric: You get to go, man. Cleared for landing.
(edit)
Eric: Heard you had a party.
Natalia: Oh it wasn't really a "party" party. I just had some people over.
Eric: My phone didn't ring.
Natalia: Because I thought you were working!
Eric: I would've known if you'd called.
Natalia: You know, I thought we both decided that we were moving too fast. So I guess I was putting up some boundaries.
Eric: Mission accomplished.
(edit)
Ryan: Um...what do you think about Mexican wrestling?
Natalia: Is that a trick question?
Ryan: No, my friend got two tickets at the Miami Olympic Arena. It's nothing I'm really into but it's hilarious, and they wear masks and I thought you and I could go and we could get a laugh out of it together, so what do you say?
Natalia: Well um, wait a minute, are you (approaching him and dropping her voice) are you asking me out?
Ryan: Yeah, yeah, I guess I am.
Natalia: Well yeah, because uh, well, you know I'm seeing someone, right?
Ryan: No. I heard that was over.
Natalia: From who?
Ryan: The uh, the person you're seeing.
Natalia: Really?
Ryan: Yeah, he gave me the go ahead, in fact.
Natalia: The go..I mean, he actually said the go ahead?! He said that?!
Ryan: Um, I think what he said was that you were "cleared for landing."
Natalia: Wow! Wow, so I'm like locker room talk, then.
Ryan: No, no, no. We were just sitting there, comparing notes.
Natalia: Comparing notes.
Ryan: Uhhhh, you know what? Forget I asked, I'm sorry.
Natalia: No, actually if you want to go to a boxing match, that's good, I'm good.
Ryan: Really?
Natalia: Uh huh.
Ryan: Great, it's Mexican wrestling, and I thought we'd go out to dinner first.
Natalia: I'm in!
Ryan: Great! (leaves)
Natalia: Yeah. Great. (roughly opens lab door)
(edit)
Eric: I heard Wolfe asked you out.
Natalia: I heard you gave him the go ahead.
Eric: The way I understood it was the other way around.
Natalia: Right.
Eric: So, what are you guys going to do, dring Midori cocktails, watch movies on the couch?
Natalia: No, as a matter of fact, we are gonna go out in public, because Ryan actually made plans.
Eric: Well, have fun at the ballet.
Natalia: Whoa whoa wait a minute! You pimped me out to your friend, and it's my fault?
Eric: Pimped you out?
Natalia: Yeah, I'm "cleared for landing?"
Eric: It wasn't like that.
Natalia: But you said it, right? Okay, here is what I know. You and I actually had a chance, and you blew it.
(edit)
Frank: Give it up, or you buy the whole enchilada! (edit)
(Marisol wants to stop her chemotherapy treatment since the side effects may make her unable to conceive a child )
Marisol: I just don't want to take that chance.
Horatio: I understand that, but... If we lose you then nothing can happen. (edit)
Tripp: Scare her?! We call that felony stupid. (edit)
Delko: (referring to the broken glass door) It doesn't take rocket science to figure out the point of entry. (edit)
(Talking to patrol officer about kidnapping)
Horatio: She's dead or dying. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When the kidnap victim calls Chelsea, the phone says No Sim Card inserted.
So no calls could have been made. (edit)
The cellular phone where the distress call was received from the kidnapped woman did not have a SIM card inserted, therefore it could not receive calls (only make emergency calls). Even if the phone was fully operational the phone screen shows that the ringer was turned off (crossed musical note) so it could not have rung. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Delko calls Kelly Olive Oyl, referring to the wife of Popeye, who always spoke through teeth clenched around a pipe, because her boyfriend's jaw was wired shut and he would not have been able to speak clearly. (edit)
