CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Nick: So what's with the ropes, Casanova? Born in 1725, Giacomo Girolamo Casanova failed an attempt at life in the church, and went on to become a world famous lover. He died in 1798 of a urinary tract infection.

Nick: I wish I had selective amnesia. There's a lot in my past I'd like to forget. This is could be references to the Season 2 episodes "Overload" (when Nick admits to being abused by a last-minute babysitter) and "Stalker" (here he came face-to-face with a man who invaded his attic, monitored his every move, and even committed murder in order to "become" more like Nick), and the two-part Season 5 finale " Grave Danger (1) & (2)" (in which he was buried alive).

Memento Mori: Grissom quotes this Latin phrase, citing the practice of photographing the dead as they are laid out as a memorial. However, he mistranslates it as meaning remember the dead. A more accurate translation is remember you are mortal. The customs surrounding memento mori have varied over the years, being expressed in art, music, literature, and, more recently, photography and other contemporary art forms. The interpretation has also varied from celebrating life by living for the moment to living in perpetual fear of death.
