Quotes 

• Sara Sidle : [to Grissom]  You told me a few weeks ago that nothing is personal. No victim should be special. Everyone follows your lead.

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : Everyone didn't find that baby. I did, and that little boy is dead because someone lost their temper or screwed up, or God knows what. So, excuse me, but this victim is special.

• CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : Nick.

  Nick Stokes : [turns around]  Yo.

  [sees the soda bottles] 

  Nick Stokes : No, thanks, I'm an iced tea man.

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : It's not a refreshment. It's an experiment. Take this to the lab in a controlled space, 72 degrees Fahrenheit and open it. Keep this in the same room-temp space.

  Nick Stokes : Okay, then what?

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : Process, Nick. Process.

• CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : [to Greg]  I hear you're backlogged.

  Greg Sanders : Twenty "unknowns" from some drug shoot-out. FBI special request. Sheriff told me to clear it off my counter before I do anything else.

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : These?

  Greg Sanders : Yeah. You can almost smell Quantico, you know?

  [Grissom grabs the paperwork in front of Greg and puts it aside on the cart with all the other samples on it; he pushes the cart out of the door and into the hallway where it stops when it hits the wall, attracting the attention of some people, including Nick] 

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : There. Now they're off your counter.

  [Greg nods his head; Grissom takes out a file folder and the samples] 

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : Zachary Anderson, DOB 01-23-01. Date of death, three hours ago. Until we find out how and why...

  [puts a tray full of blood samples in front of Greg] 

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : This is the only case you work on.

  Greg Sanders : Yes, sir.

• CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : [to the media]  Let me tell you something. People are presumed innocent... . innocent until a court of law can examine all the evidence and prove otherwise. Until then everything else is gossip.

• Captain Jim Brass : Why didn't you just tell the truth?

  Steven Anderson : We wanted to protect Robbie. We didn't want him to grow up with the stigma of "the boy who killed his brother."

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : He's three. He's clinically unaware of his actions. No court would hold him accountable for that.

  Steven Anderson : But everybody else would know. It would follow him the rest of his life and my wife would rather go to prison than to have anybody know what Robbie did.

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : Mr. Anderson, we won't let that happen.

• Al Robbins : [to Grissom about baby Zachary]  I can't give you exact time of death, but I do know cause of death was asphyxiation.

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : He was smothered.

  Al Robbins : [nods]  The retinal hemorrhages are the result of intercranial pressure from an edema. The edema was caused by an acute lack of oxygen.

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : Smothered how? Did you find hand marks? Trauma around the mouth or nose?

  Al Robbins : No.

  CSI Dr. Gil Grissom : He was in a blanket when I found him... wrapped pretty tight.

  Al Robbins : Positional asphyxiation? Maybe. Abductor might've tried to protect him from the cold. Suffocated him by mistake. I'm going to run tests on a microscopic fiber I found in his throat. But I don't think his death was benign, Gil or accidental. Sternum was cracked. X rays say the fracture is fresh. Manhandled and suffocated. This little guy didn't have a chance.
