Sara: What's that?

Grissom: Excuse me, Stephanie? Is this your uniform? (holds up a bag with shirt in it)
Chef Lola: Don't have to answer that, Steph. They don't have a warrant.
Grissom (to Catherine): I thought you said the mafia left town. (Cath laughs) (edit)
Brass: Ever wonder what's in that hot dog? Human body in a meat grinder. Shop foreman found an arm. The rest of him is prime grade a sirloin.
Catherine: Body in a meat grinder. Sounds kind of "mob-ish" except they left town in the '80s. (edit)
Warrick: Did someone move her?
Hank: She was propped up when we got here. I checked for vitals.
Warrick: You sure with all your life-saving efforts you didn't move her?
