- Grissom: Oh, and Sara? Sara: Hm? Grissom: Last hotel room nearest the stairwell-- easy entry and egress for an intruder and if the victim fights back, fifty percent less chance of being heard. Sara: Rooms only on one side. Murder Central. (Grissom nods his head and leaves the room. The door closes behind him) Nick (smiling): You are so busted.

- (In the vic's hotel room) Sara: The average American hotel room is covered with stains invisible to the naked eye. Grissom: Yeah, but they're not all biological. Some are soda stains, food stains, whiskey stains, you know. Sara: No matter how clean or expensive the room seems that why I always travel with nonoxynol-9. Grissom: You sound like you're making a commercial.

- (Grissom walks toward room 2927. In front of them is the door to the stairs. Nick, Sara and Cath follow. They all stop in front of the closed room door) Grisson: Mr. Fairmont was staying in Murder Central. Catherine (agrees): Mmm. Nick: "Murder Central"? Sara: You never heard that phrase? Nick (exasperated): Well, if I did, would I have asked the question? (Sara looks smug as she got a reaction from Nick) Grissom: Sara, you're with me in here. (to Catherine and Nick) You guys get the elevator. Catherine: All yours, girl. Sara: Thanks. (Grissom unlocks the hotel room door. He and Sara enter. Cath and Nick walk back down the hallway) Nick (disgruntled): Sara doesn't know what Murder Central means any more than I do. Catherine (puts a hand on Nick's shoulder): Oh, Nick, give it up. We got a death imminent to worry about.

- Greg: Sara! I was just looking for you. Still up for break? Sara: Sorry, Greggo, hot case. I'm going to go look at Nick's champagne bottle. How you doing with our DNA? Greg: Uh ... inside-outside we're still looking for a reference for comparison but the epidermals are looking promising. Sara: Nice. (walks away) Grissom: You want to clue me in? Greg: Sara and I were just going out for dinner. Grissom: On the case, "Greggo."

- Grissom: It's impossible to redress an unconscious person to make it look like they dressed themselves. You notice anything about the suit coat? Brass: Well, unless he's going to court or to church, there's no way he buttons all three buttons. Grissom: Very good, Jim. (to Sara) Why do they think they can fool us?

- Grissom: Star light, Star bright, first star I see tonight. This is part of a late 19th century American nursery song called "Star Light Star Bright" and the lyrics allude to the fantasy that you can wish upon a star.

- Grissom: Well, that's as fake as a Chappaquiddick neck-brace. In describing the staging of a victim's body, Grissom refers to the 1969 controversy involving Ted Kennedy. Driving from a party in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts, Kennedy drove off a bridge. The only apparent injury Kennedy sustained was to his neck while his passenger (and Senator Robert F. Kennedy's secretary) Mary Jo Kopechne, was killed. Kennedy abandoned the scene of the accident and did not report it until eight hours after the car had sunk to the bottom of the river. Kennedy always claimed that he didn't report the accident right away because he had been in a state of shock, yet some people believe he hesitated in order to avoid speculation of an extramarital affair.
