Quotes 

• Greg Sanders : [to Grissom]  You know, most dogs have 42 teeth but, as you've discovered, your Cujo only has 41. Woof-woof.

  Gil Grissom : Did you ever hear a dog say "woof-woof," Greg?

  [Greg shrugs] 

  Gil Grissom : I mean, what is the origin of that? And what do we sound like to them, I wonder.

  Greg Sanders : I don't know. Probably blah, blah, blah.

• Gil Grissom : [to Catherine]  What are you doing?

  Catherine Willows : The carnival case. I'm taking it.

  Gil Grissom : The carnival case?

  Catherine Willows : A 6-year-old girl died on a ride at the carnival over on Washington. The paperwork's on your desk.

  [Grissom nods and glances at his office] 

  Gil Grissom : Did you straighten up my office while you were in there?

  Catherine Willows : You think I overstepped?

  [Grissom shakes his head] 

  Catherine Willows : These people come to town, they commit crimes and they leave. I just want to get there before the carnival moves on.

  Gil Grissom : Okay. Take Sara with you.

  Catherine Willows : She's meeting me there.

• Gil Grissom : Like David Crosby said, big fella: "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of my teeth."

• Dr. Susan Hillridge : [about her dog]  What makes you think that Simba had anything to do with that jogger's death?

  Gil Grissom : There have been complaints about your dog in the past.

  Detective Ray O'Riley : Your meter reader's singing soprano.

• Gil Grissom : [to Susan Hillridge]  You said that you were a doctor. May I ask your specialty?

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : Nutrition. My patients are mostly professional athletes.

  Gil Grissom : Do you ever consult with amateur athletes? Like marathoners?

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : You mean like that jogger? What was his name?

  Gil Grissom : Terry Manning.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : Doesn't ring a bell. And I'm very good with names, Mr. Grissom.

• Gil Grissom : Simba's mold's still damp, but you can see it's a perfect match to the bite mark on the jogger.

  Nick Stokes : Does this mean Simba's going to the big dog pound in the sky?

  Gil Grissom : No. We need to build some more evidence.

• Gil Grissom : You're very organized, Dr. Hillridge. I imagine you're upset about your dog, having to put him down if it comes to that.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : I don't hold onto things. I accept the evolution of change. We live, we die, we replenish the earth.

  Gil Grissom : Man's best friend, but not yours, huh?

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : None of us gets out alive. I would think, in your job, you'd know that.

• Dr. Susan Hillridge : Tell me, Mr. Grissom, how does a man choose death as his profession?

  Gil Grissom : It chose me, actually.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : Well, I guess one man's corpse is another man's candy.

• Warrick Brown : [about Susan Hillridge]  She gives me the willies.

  Gil Grissom : We can't arrest her for that.

• Gil Grissom : [to Susan Hillridge]  We found blood in your kitchen blender. The lab has matched it to the dead jogger.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : It had to happen eventually.

  Gil Grissom : Why?

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : You're the scientist. I should have thought you'd figured that out.

  Gil Grissom : I haven't.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : Think of the bugs, Grissom. Cycle of life. Angels versus insects. When we die, the fable we tell ourselves is we go toward a white light and angels. But you and I both know the hard reality is that insects arrive immediately and begin turning us back to earth.

  Gil Grissom : Yes, but the insects haven't killed anyone.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : No. But they'd die if they didn't have bodies to feed off of. And so will I.

  [Grissom looks at Susan] 

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : Porphyria.

  Gil Grissom : The madness of King George.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : Or the Legend of the Vampire. Which makes it a real hard disease to have, but it's real for me.

  Gil Grissom : It's genetic.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : The only thing my father ever gave me. The first time it presented was after a minor sunburn. My lips receded. So did my gums. I increased my glucose intake and I was fine... for a while. I began a drug regimen, but they only treated the symptoms. I had my spleen removed because it absorbed my blood, but nothing helped. Lesions started forming on my face. That's when I bought my first dog. Bullets and poison leave residue in the blood. Dogs kill clean. Imagine what I'd look like by now without them.

  Gil Grissom : You could've tried intravenous hematin.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : Human blood is the richest source of heme.

  Gil Grissom : And so you extracted the organs with the most blood: the liver, the spleen, the heart.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : If you lock me up, I'll go mad.

  Gil Grissom : Unfortunately, a symptom of your condition, but you've been killing people, doctor.

  Dr. Susan Hillridge : I'll die in prison.

  Gil Grissom : Yes, but the people you'd be feeding off of will still be alive. Cycle of life.

• Al Robbins : Whoever removed this guy's organs knew how to handle one.

  Nick Stokes : So a dog killed him, then someone came along and cut him up.

  Gil Grissom : Someone with two legs and a medical degree.
