Catherine: And nobody saw anything?
Grissom: They were watching the movie. Dark room. Loud music. Four exits. Everybody looking the other way.
Catherine: Professional killer?
Grissom: Or a movie buff. (edit) Warrick: Venus and Serena. Perfect Match. (edit) (After she went to go get popcorn during an old noir movie)
Catherine: Hi, what'd I miss?
Grissom: Murder, seduction, deceit. The usual.
Catherine: Mmm. This one of your favorites?
Grissom: Actually, I'm not a big fan of noir.
Catherine: Okay...Well, what do you like?
Grissom: I like silent movies. (Catherine stops and turns to look at Grissom. With a small smile on his face, Grissom glances at Catherine, then turns to look at the screen) (edit) (To Grissom and Doc Robbins who are discussing movies)
Catherine: Mr Siskel. Mr Ebert. May I have a cause of death? (edit) (Arriving at the crimescene)
Catherine: Ooh. Theatres are like night clubs... you should always keep the lights off.
Grissom: This is the last art house left in Vegas. I saw Baraka here, on a double bill with Koyaanisqatsi.
Catherine: Was there anyone else here?
Grissom: Sure.
Catherine: With you?
Grissom: No. (edit)

Grissom: No. (edit)
At the beginning of the episode, we see the people watching the film. From the back, two of the heads look like Grissom and Catherine.
(edit)
Warrick: Venus and Serena. Perfect match.
This alludes to the tennis players, and sisters Venus and Serena Williams. They both are ranked very high in the world and have both won many grand slam tournments. They often both reach the finals of these tournaments and end up facing each other. (edit) In the Hitchcock classic Strangers on a Train which this episode references, Robert Walker's character is named Bruno Anthony and Farley Granger's character is named Guy Haines. The name Anthony Haines is obviously a reference to these two characters. (edit) The title A Night At The Movies references the film of the same name from 1937 starring Robert Benchley as a man who is trying to enjoy a movie with his wife, but faces some difficulties. (edit) The older brother states his friends and little brother are big fans of the "Don't try this at home shows." This may reference The MTV stunt series Jackass. (edit) Catherine: Ooh. Theatres are like night clubs... you should always keep the lights off.
Grissom: This is the last art house left in Vegas. I saw Baraka here, on a double bill with Koyaanisqatsi.
Catherine: Was there anyone else here?
Grissom: Sure.
Catherine: With you?
Grissom: No.
This is a repeat of a joke in "Pledging Mr. Johnson" where Catherine asks him the same thing, different venue. (edit)
