Quotes 

• Dr. Valerie Dino : I don't see what you hope to accomplish. These patients are criminals with severe mental disorders. They're not going to give you a straight answer.

  Captain Jim Brass : No one ever does.

• Captain Jim Brass : Who's this guy knitting an imaginary sweater? How's he know when it's finished?

  Gil Grissom : His brain tells him that what he's doing is real. He has no reason to doubt it.

  Captain Jim Brass : Or any desire to.

• Captain Jim Brass : [to Earl Simmonds]  So what do you do at night?

  Earl Simmonds : Day, night. It don't make no difference. I think.

  Captain Jim Brass : About what?

  Earl Simmonds : Bitches.

• Captain Jim Brass : News flash from the loony bin. Two reported deaths in the last three years from "complications due to restraint procedures."

  Gil Grissom : And how many have gone unreported?

  Captain Jim Brass : The hospital just got off probation. One more death by restraint brings the Feds in.

  Gil Grissom : Good incentive to keep it quiet.

  Captain Jim Brass : Or make it look like someone else did it.

  Gil Grissom : Yeah. Somebody who's crazy.

• Sara Sidle : [to Joanne McKay]  You were lying about giving Robbie lipstick. You have seven out of 13 alleles in common with your patient, Adam Trent.

  Captain Jim Brass : [holds up a bag of letters]  Your "Dearest Angel."

  [Joanne doesn't say anything] 

  Captain Jim Brass : Okay. Joanne McKay, registered nurse. Licensed by the Nevada board of Nursing 1978. Married Howard Trent 1980. The board requires you to get a new certificate when you get married. I guess you never complied.

  Nurse Joanne McKay : I've always gone by my maiden name.

  Captain Jim Brass : I guess that makes it less embarrassing to check into the motel with your son.

  [Joanne glares at him] 

  Captain Jim Brass : Oh, I'm sorry. You checked into a psycho ward instead.
