Quotes 

• Gil Grissom : Male cat urine. To us: smelly. To female cat, it must be like aftershave.

  Catherine Willows : Me-ow.

• Greg Sanders : [Grissom and Catherine walk into Greg's lab to see him rocking out to blaring rock and roll music]  I could have been a rock star.

  Gil Grissom : There's still time, Greg. Tell us about the foreign substance we found in the vic's wound track.

  Greg Sanders : Uh, well, I like to rub it all over a lady's body. Even better... I, uh... like it when she rubs it all over me. And it's also used as a stool softner.

  Catherine Willows : It's also the only open lead in our case. Spit it out, Greg.

  Greg Sanders : Mineral oil.

  Gil Grissom : Possibly used as a preservative to prevent rusting of high-carbon steel.

  Catherine Willows : Like the blades of knives.

  Greg Sanders : Old knives. New ones are made from stainless steel. Yeah, I'm like a sponge. I just absorb information.

  Gil Grissom : I thought that was my line.

  Greg Sanders : Yeah, and I absorbed it.

  Catherine Willows : Okay, so... knives, screwdrivers, ice pick, letter opener. We're looking for a weapon with a splash of mineral oil. I'll grab the ALS.

  Greg Sanders : An ALS. For mineral oil?

  Gil Grissom : Mineral oil fluoresces at 525 nanometers when filtered through a kv590. A little more absorbing... a little less rock and roll.

• Catherine Willows : Well... an old lady wears flats or slippers. I can't imagine that this vic entertained.

  Gil Grissom : You got to be careful with isolation. It can escalate. Before you know it, you're the crazy cat lady living in the rundown house.

• Catherine Willows : My name's Catherine. What is your name again?

  Jessica Rachel Trent : Jessica Rachel Trent. I'm 8 and a half.

  Catherine Willows : Oh, 8 and a half. So, I bet you're in the third grade?

  Jessica Rachel Trent : Yeah. My teacher's Mrs. Armstrong. She's really nice. Except I hate multiplication especially the eights.

  Catherine Willows : You know, I have a daughter. She hates the eights. too.
