German episode title: "Die Bombe tickt", meaning "The Bomb Is Ticking". (edit) Originally titled Bombs. (edit)

Grissom: The Van Gogh effect... in stereo. Both ears gone. (edit) Catherine: Who? Why? Will he do it again? Only time will tell. (edit) Brass (to Sara and Grissom, who are trying to identify the pipe used in the bombings): Don't you love the smell of sulfur in the afternoon? (edit) (Grissom studies the pieces under the scope. There's ticking sounds coming from around him. Suddenly, an alarm rings. Grissom looks up)
Sara: Hey. (the alarm continues to ring annoyingly)
Grissom: Could you find that and turn it off, please? (Sara checks the clocks on the table, then finds it and turns it off. The alarm stops ringing. She picks up another clock)
Sara: Find the clock our guy used?
Grissom (sighs): Not yet.
Sara: This is a good choice. According to the bomb data center which has a record of every component used in any bomb -- from Ted Kaczynski to teenage boys playing with fireworks -- the most recent timing device of choice is made by TimeTell SnoozeWell, $10.99 at any local drugstore. (she hands him the clock)
Grissom: You spoiled all my fun. (Grissom starts to take apart the clock and Warrick walks in)
Warrick: Gris, can I get something clear here?
Grissom: Anything's possible.
Warrick: Catherine gave me this "FP" which was part of the Hansen bomb and I'm supposed to figure out what tool the bomber used to engrave it.
Grissom: You isolate the tool, and then we trace it.
Warrick: Yeah, but he could've used any number of things to initial it. I mean, screwdriver, a drill bit, a box cutter.
Grissom: It's the same as guns-- we eliminate them one at a time.
Warrick: What are you guys doing?
Sara: We're going to go blow up some bombs.
Warrick: Oh, I definitely got the wrong end of this investigation.
Grissom: Alas, poor Warrick. (edit) Grissom: I can't tell whether he's brilliant or nuts.
Brass: Sound familiar? (edit)

Goof: Grissom is blowing up the test bombs, the background is reflected in the glass blast shield in front of Grissom, but not the bomb blasts themselves. (edit) Goof: Warrick says that the engraving tool was purchased by the Las Vegas School District. But there is no Las Vegas School District in Nevada. It's actually called the Clark County School District. (edit) Goof: You might have to rewind the part where Nick is in the morgue seeing Kristi's body. You can clearly see that her throat is moving when she is lying on the table. It looks like she's trying to swallow without making it so obvious. But what can you do if you are playing dead? (edit) Goof: When Grissom hangs up the article at the end of the episode, use the ZOOM function on the DVD remote and you'll notice that the article is repearted three times, word for word. (edit) Goof: When Nick calls Kristy's house to invite her for breakfast, he states, "Hey, are you in the shower? I don't have to work until later, and thought you might like to grab a late breakfast" , at which point he finds Ecklie at her house.

Later, when Nick goes to talk to Grissom, he says, "Hey Nick, I thought this was your day off." (edit)

Grissom: Alas, poor Warrick.

The quote is a play off a line from Shakespeare's "Hamlet." The original quote is: "Alas, poor Yorick." (edit)
