Goof: In the scene where Speed and Delko are in the lab looking at the broken bottle, Speed puts on red glasses and shuts off the light. When he is done, he takes off the glasses turns on the light and the glasses are suddenly on his face again (and he takes them off again).
Speed: If Veronica's so innocent, why did she try to dump the body?
Eric: If the evidence is equivocal, we've got to go with the only witness. Speed: Yeah, the other one's dead, that helps.
Speed: Amnesia huh? That's pretty convenient... maybe she's got an evil twin we can interrogate. Eric: Look she has a concussion, memory loss is common. Speed: It'll all come back to her once she gets an attorney.
(Frank and Calleigh reenact the concert shooting) Calleigh: Can you be my bodyguard? Det. Tripp: Only if I can call you Whitney.
10 Large: (checking Calleigh out) Damn! Nice cakes! Calleigh: Oh!... charming.
(One of the bodies in morgue freezer comes back to live) Alexx: It's Alexx, are there any Rescue units in the building? I need a crew in the autopsy theater immediately, I've got a live one.
(Horatio and Det. Tripp question a suspect) Horatio: How did you get your name? Thugg-G: Thugg-G? Horatio: Yes Thugg-G: Yeah, you know I did some major dirt back in the day, but it's in the past you know, I did my time. Horatio: And you're about to do some more. Det. Tripp: I'm pretty sure you're aware "10 Large" has a restraining order against you Mr. G, and you violated it. Horatio: Welcome home.
(Speed and Eric discuss a rap magazine) Eric: ...Yeah, but he's just talking trash, in the business it's all about the streets. Speed: Right, you've got to keep your pimp hand strong.
(Speed and Eric are collecting the crowd's cell phones) Crowd Girl: Don't you need a warrant of something? Speed: Yeah, if you want it locked in evidence for 3 years. Eric: Or you can just give it to us for 3 hours, your choice. (the girls hands over her phone) Crowd Girl: Ok, but what am I supposed to do for 3 hours? Speed: I don't know, stop talking?
Horatio: I notice there's mmm... blood on your jacket. Bodyguard: It's a busy afternoon. Det. Tripp: Yeah, your client got shot, nice work.
(A shooting has occurred at a rap concert) Alexx: You know rap? Horatio: No, but I know wrap sheets, and Dwayne (the rapper's name) has a criminal past. Alexx: He assured me that he was fine, refuses treatment. Horatio: Interesting... Frank, any witnesses? Det. Tripp: What's left of the audience, we're holding on to them, but a couple dozen people fled the scene. Horatio: Flying bullets will tend to do that, won't they? Is Mr. Large (the rapper's artistic name) talking? Det. Tripp: Not to the cops. Horatio: Ok, but the press is fine. Det. Tripp: Yeah, no doubt this little incident will push his release to number one. Horatio: Yes, number one... with a bullet.
Horatio: Dispatch said there were two victims… Alexx: More if you count the guy's ego.
Horatio: Craig, fingerprints are like old habits… they die hard!
The tree the body is impaled on is located in a small park at the end of the Marine Stadium in Long Beach, CA. This is the same park the jet crashes in in the episode "Money Plane".
