David: That's why I always do.
Greg: It's the law, even in limos. (edit)
Drops' Attorney: Captain Brass, I've seen the ballistics report. The shots fired from inside the limo were fired second. That's textbook self-defense.

Sofia (looking at a paper shaped rose): Looks like a bar napkin.

Grissom: Well then that must be his brain on drugs.

Brass: I promise to get them on Channel 8 news.

Channel 8 is the CBS station in Las Vegas. (edit)
Brass: Running of the Bulls, Las Vegas style.

The running of the bulls takes place in Pamplona every year during the week of July 6-14 Every morning, six bulls are released into the streets and hundreds of locals and tourists alike run through the streets to avoid the lumbering beasts. (edit)
Hodges: I had to catch up on my Perez Hilton.

Perez Hilton, real name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. is an American celebrity gossip blogger. His blog has become tremendously popular since its inception. (edit)
