Grissom: Hey, Jim! Did you know that Charles Manson is only five foot two?
Brass: Yeah, little guys tend to overcompensate. (edit) Grissom: (about the surveillance camera): Just because it shows nothing doesn't mean it's seeing everything. (edit) Brass: Fromansky's getting a commendation, what do you think?
Grissom: 2 dead felons, 2 dead civilians, 1 dead policeman, I don't know what to think. (edit) Warrick: You know Hodges already analyzed trace on the bullet.
Grissom: Yeah, well I wanted to take a look for myself.
Warrick: He'll take it personal.
Grissom: Good. (edit) Officer Fromansky: Before this goes any deeper I wanna hear it from you, are you gonna try and screw me on this? (Grissom doesn't say anything) Well?
Grissom: Well, I guess that depends on whether or not I get stuck in traffic on the way to your hearing. (edit)

Goof: When Grissom first arrives at the crime scene and is taking pictures, in the first photo he takes you can see the victims eyelids flutter. (edit) Dr. Robbins mentions the title; "Paper Or Plastic". (edit)

Grissom: Well, I guess that depends on whether or not I get stuck in traffic on the way to your hearing.

This is an allusion to Fromansky's thinly veiled threat to Grissom at the end of "All For Our Country". (edit) Visual: Camera Office

The guy who runs the cameras is watching an episode of Dexter's Laboratory when Nick talks to him. (edit)
