Quotes

add »
Warrick: Did you touch or move the body in any way?
Blinky: Uh, no way. No. I watch those murder shows, you know? I know to just keep my hands to myself, and, uh, call the cops.
Sofia: What is with the robe? (Warrick looks to the officer standing nearby)
Warrick: Did you pat him down?
Officer: He's packing a small, friendly weapon.
Warrick: Would you mind standing up for us, sir?
Blinky: Nah, bro, I-I-I ... kind of got the angle of the dangle going. The boing, boing, boing.
Sofia: Stand up. (Blinky stands up, uncomfortably)
Blinky: I, uh, took a Prevalis on the plane over. I been pitching a tent for, like, eight hours. Yeah, I-I think I need to consult a physician.
Sofia: It's called a priapism. Just in case you were wondering.
Warrick: What else you on, man?
Blinky: Oh, uh, nothing. I mean, uh, I smoked a little herb at the club, but that's it.
Warrick: What about Julian?
Blinky: Oh, Jules? Oh, no, he, uh ... he won't even take aspirin. You know, he's organic. You know, treats his body like a temple.
Sofia: Well, we're gonna need a list of everyone who was here worshipping the temple. (edit)
Warrick (seeing Hodges looking through a microscope): Hodges, do you have the results on the fibers that we dropped off to ... ? (Warrick notices that Hodges is sleeping) Hodges? (Hodges doesn't move. Warrick looks at Nick) Dude, he's sleeping. (they both laugh)
Nick (loud): Lemme guess! ... (Hodges startles awake) ... The fibers are wool. Are you baggin' Z's right now, man?
Hodges: I was just having the greatest dream.
Warrick: You were out.
Hodges: It was the 80's and I had this Don Johnson beard, you know, the Miami Vice stubble. It just gave me this air of danger. My lady loved it. (edit)
(On the phone, as Grissom's walking some where)
Catherine: Catherine.
Grissom: It's Gil. How you doing?
Catherine: I'm busy. You checkin' up on me?
Grissom: Now, why would I need to do that?
Catherine: I don't know, you tell me.
Grissom: Look, I know you tend to get a little territorial about your crime scenes and I don't want there to be any tension between us so I'm giving you fair warning. (he walks up to her crime scene)
Catherine (annoyed): Fair warning for what?
Grissom: Hi. (Catherine looks up and sees him and he waves and smiles at her) (edit)
(They are walking up behind Greg who is in the DNA lab)
Nick: I thought Greg was in the field, is he back in the lab?
Warrick: I don't know.
Nick: We gotta clear this up, it's like he's confused. Lab, field, field, lab. We have a lab on wheels.
Greg: Would you guys just shut up? I'm doing this as a favor to Ecklie, it's a one time thing. He's still interviewing lab techs.
Warrick: Are you making overtime?
Greg: I'm taking one for the team. (edit)
Sara: Noy had a life insurance policy issued through his union worth 10 grand.
Catherine (sighs): Life's getting cheaper. (edit)

Trivia

add »
River Phoenix, whom Warrick mentioned in this episode, was Joaquin Phoenix's older brother. River overdosed on heroin and cocaine on Halloween morning at age 23, at a night club owned by Johnny Depp. (edit)
Dr Robbins apparently collects photos of celebrities who died in Las Vegas: Tupac Shakur and John Entwistle, the celebrities he mentioned when he took a picture of Julian Harper, both died in Las Vegas. (Entwistle of a cocaine-induced heart attack, and Tupac shot to death.) (edit)

Allusions

add »
Warrick: Yeah. Now he's the next River Phoenix.

They presume that Julian Harper died of a drug overdose, as did River Phoenix. Phoenix died at the age of 23 from an overdose of cocaine and heroin. (edit)
Grissom: Well, that's not lost in translation.

Could be a reference to the Bill Murray movie, Lost in Translation (edit)
Hodges mentions Don Johnson and Miami Vice in this episode.

Miami Vice was a hit police drama in the 80's starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas. (edit)
