But if you go to this website it is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? edit » - Kira's dorm was number 807. This episode was Season 8, Episode 7 (8x07). edit »
- Sara: I know that you killed Kira Dellinger. I just can't prove it.
Hannah: That must be frustrating for you.
Sara: Hannah, Marlon's dead.
Hannah: Wow. That's a really sad and desperate ploy, Sara. It's beneath you. (Sara shows Hannah the photo of Marlon hanging at the windowsill)
Sara: He was doing well here, wasn't he? Making friends, joining a band, falling in love. But you're still a freak, just like high school.
Hannah: You're lying. No. This is a lie.
Sara: His world got bigger, and yours stayed the same, and you killed Kira so you could keep him all to yourself, didn't you? edit » - Marlon: I need to know ... what I did to deserve this.
Hannah: You killed Kira.
Marlon: We both know I didn't do that. edit » - Marlon: I asked Hannah to teach me how to make GHB, and how to get it into Kira. I just wanted to mess her up a bit. I snuck it into Kira's room a few days ago; I still had a key. Hannah must've made a copy.
Sara: I believe you, Marlon. I really do. But the only thing that a jury's going to see is your prints on the lube, your prints on the windowsill, and another dead girl.
Marlon: Why is Hannah doing this to me?
Sara: I don't know. All I know is ... you don't deserve to take the fall for this. And the question is ... are you going to let your sister get away with this and spend the rest of your life in jail?
Marlon: If Hannah wants me in jail, that's where I'm going to be. There's nothing I can do about it. edit » - Sara (about Mrs. Jimenez): What happened? Her husband attack her again?
Ronnie: No. She came involuntarily. It took some convincing, but she's agreed to go to a shelter.
Sara: She won't stay.
Ronnie: Maybe not. But at least now she has a chance. Look, I did it all on my own time, no OT. I know it's not the way you do things, but I think it's part of the job. At least, that's how I want it to be. For me. edit » - Grissom: Hey.
Sara: What are you doing here?
Grissom (walks towards Sara but she backs away): I was going to ask you the same question. Listen, I'm worried about you.
Sara: That just makes this worse. I-I can't talk about this right now. I can't. edit » - Hannah: You don't expect me to confess to something I didn't do?
Sara: I am just putting you on notice. You are not fooling me anymore.
Hannah: I think I know why you're so angry, Sara. I did some research. I read about what that serial killer did to you out in the desert, under that car ...
Sara: We're talking about you, Hannah.
Hannah: It must've been so terrible being trapped like that all alone. Did your life flash in front of your eyes?
Sara: That is none of your business.
Hannah: You must've been so sad knowing that you were gonna lose everyone who mattered to you.
Sara: Stop it, Hannah.
Hannah: Look, I know how it feels. One moment my parents were alive, and the next they were gone.
Sara: Answer the question!
Hannah: My life changed in that moment. All that I have left is Marlon. Why would I do anything to hurt him?
Sara (stands up and hits the table): Stop playing games with me! (leaves the room)
Hannah: You're the one who's playing games. edit » - Hannah: When will Marlon be able to leave?
Sara: Well, we're going to keep him here as long as we possibly can.
Hannah: At least that's honest. It also seems a little vindictive.
Sara: Given your brother's history, I think it's pretty sensible.
Hannah: What's wrong, Sara? You're different than you used to be. You're
angry. And a little sad, too. Why?
Sara: If you want to spend more time with your brother, I recommend you invest in a good lawyer, Hannah. edit » - Marlon: I'm telling you, I didn't kill Kira. I've never lied to you. Not once. You just never believe me. When I'm guilty, you want me to be innocent. When I'm innocent, you want me to be guilty.
Nick: Hey, you know what, Marlon? You can save it, 'cause unlike most people, you're not going to get me to underestimate you. I already know you're every bit as smart as your sister, especially when it comes to creating confusion. edit » - Sara: Marlon West has killed before.
Brass: Not according to a jury of his peers.
Sara: Did you have fun talking to Kira Dellinger's parents?
Brass: Excuse me?
Sara: Must've been a lot of screaming and crying and despair.
Brass: Yeah, there usually is. What's your point, Sara?
Sara: My point is, if we had done our job right the first time, Marlon West
would be in jail, and Kira Dellinger would still be alive. edit » - Brass: We're here to talk to you about Kira Dellinger.
Marlon: Kira committed suicide.
Sara: Actually, she was murdered.
Marlon: Somebody I know ends up dead and I'm automatically a suspect?
Brass: History has a way of repeating itself, Marlon. edit » - Sara: I want this case.
Grissom: The one that got away?
Sara: We're not supposed to let them get away, right?
Grissom: Okay. I'll see if I can clear it with Ecklie. Catherine has to supervise, though. You report to her. edit » - Catherine (about Hannah): Oh, yes, I remember this case. A high school senior at age 12.
Sara: She's a prodigy.
Nick: She's a pint-size Machiavelli. She manipulated events, fabricated evidence, and in the end ... edit » - Ronnie (about the Jimenez's) How are we going to handle this?
Sara: Well, the guy's under arrest.
Ronnie: He'll be free by tomorrow. Her husband is obviously abusing her. (sighs) There's got to be something we can do.
Sara We'll be back for her body next month. Or his. Or both. There is nothing you can do about this, Ronnie. Don't kid yourself. edit » - Catherine: Such a scary thing, sending your kid off to college.
Doc Robbins: Is Lindsey looking already?
Catherine: Yeah. In fact, we looked at WLVU last month.
Doc Robbins: Well, at least she'd be close to home.
Catherine: She's free on campus, might as well be a thousand miles away. edit » - Ronnie: Mrs. Jimenez, are you okay?
Mrs. Jimenez: Bad back. (Ronnie looks at Mrs. Jimenez's back and finds a knife sticking out of it)
Ronnie: Sara, she's got a very bad back. edit » - David: It's the third jumper on campus this year. Maybe it's contagious.
Catherine: I saw this documentary once on suicides off the Golden Gate Bridge, and they interviewed a survivor and he said the moment that he let go of the railing, he realized that all of his problems were fixable, except for having jumped. edit » - Marlon: Please, after all I've done for you, after everything we've done for each other, at least tell me why!
Hannah: Because I love you.
Marlon: And I love you, too.
Hannah: No, you don't. But you will. I promise, I'll visit you every week. edit » - Greg: Looks like our vic was in a goth band. You know, I used to be goth.
Nick: Mh-hmm.
Greg. Yeah, the goth-thing was just an act. Chicks dug it.
Nick: How does that work?
Greg: You act depressed to get chicks - you get depressed chicks. edit » - Greg (to Nick): Kinda hard to tell the difference between a struggle and a typical college dorm room. edit »
- Sara (about Hannah): This kid is spinning me in circles again.
Grissom: You know, Sara, some cases, some suspects, can get under your skin. Like this tooth. But you can't let 'em make you feel bad. edit » - Nick (refering to Kira Dellinger's body, up in her dorm): Hey, Catherine, do you see any wounds on the body inconsistent with the fall?
Catherine (on the walkie-talkie below): Hang on.
David (showing a cut): Well there's this.
Catherine (on the walkie-talkie): Yeah, there's a long perimortem abrasion on her lower back.
Nick (up in the dorm): I think I know how it got there. Drag and drop. edit » - Sara (voiceover): Gil, You know I love you. I feel I've loved you forever. Lately, I haven't been feeling very well. Truth be told, I'm tired. Out in the desert, under that car that night, I realized something, and I haven't been able to shake it. Since my father died, I've spent almost my entire life with ghosts. We've been like close friends, and out there in the desert, it occurred to me that it was time for me to bury them. I can't do that here. I'm so sorry. No matter how hard I try to fight it off, I'm left with the feeling that I have to go. I have no idea where I'm going, but I know I have to do this. If I don't, I'm afraid I'll self destruct, and worse, you'll be there to see it happen. Be safe. Know that I tried very hard to stay. Know that you're my one and only. I will miss you with every beat of my heart. Our life together was the only home I've ever really had. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love you. I always will. Good bye. edit »
- Sara: Hannah, what makes you think that I would believe anything you say?
Hannah (sickly sweet smile): I guess I'm just an optimist. edit » - Grissom (about Hannah): You keeping tabs on her?
Sara: Not recently. edit » - Sara: "Zopidem"? That's good stuff.
Warrick: Yeah, it's to help me sleep. I've been having the hardest time lately.
Sara: Me, too.
Warrick: Well, just coming off of grave after all these years, you know, takes a while to adjust. (he rubs her shoulder) You're a tough cookie. I'm not worried about you. Take care of yourself, huh?
Sara: Thanks.
Warrick: Yeah.
Sara (as Warrick leaves the locker room): Sweet dreams.
Warrick: Thank you. edit »
