Quotes

(After finding a body in the ground)
Warrick: What do you think, Grissom? Been down here at least 3 years? (Grissom sniffs, around it)
Grissom: It's probably more than 3 years.
Brass: You're kiddin' me, right?
Grissom: Rule of thumb is if the skull smells bad it's usually under 3 years. But this one smells like dirt. (edit)
(A little after he was attacked by a suspect)
Catherine: You okay?
Grissom: I'm fine. (she turns his head to the right to see his neck injury)
Catherine: Nasty. Kinda looks like a hickey. (Grissom makes a face and pushes her hand away from his face) You wanna tell me what got this party started?
Grissom: I scraped his nails.
Catherine: That's it? (edit)
Brass: It's not as bad as it looks.
Sheriff Atwater: It never looks good when a suspect dies in custody. (edit)
Brass (to a Suspect): That stare doesn't work on me. But save it, cause they're gonna love it in prison. (edit)
Doc Robbins: How many teeth did you find at the crime scene?
Grissom: Two.
Doc Robbins: He's missing six. (edit)

The title is a direct reference to the song Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. (edit)
The Bates Motel
Catherine refers to the motel where the skeleton was discovered as the Bates Motel. This is an allusion to the Bates Motel in the 1960 Hitchcock classic Psycho (edit)
Grissom: The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones.
Grissom is quoting Shakespeare again. This time Mark Antony from Julius Caesar. This speech is more well known for its opening... Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. (edit)
