Quotes 

• Wendy Simms : What do you think turned it green?

  Hodges : It might be sulfur.

  Wendy Simms : Sulfur is a naturally occurring component of blood.

  Hodges : But in massive doses, it tends to turn blood a blackish, avocado green. When the sulfur atom attaches to the hemoglobin molecule, it turns green. Which is why First Officer Spock's blood is green in Star Trek.

  Wendy Simms : No, it's not.

  Hodges : Yes, it is. Trust me, I'm an expert.

  Wendy Simms : Well, apparently not, because otherwise you would surely know that the oxidizing agent in Vulcan blood is copper and that is why his blood is green. I mean that and the fact that he had a Vulcan father since his mother was actually human. And furthermore, he was promoted to Captain just prior to Star Trek II and then he retired as a civilian ambassador.

  Hodges : You're like a geeky, nerdy guy trapped in a woman's body.

  Wendy Simms : So are you.

• Hodges : Anytime you need a sniffer to detect it, my nose has the cyanide gene.

  Gil Grissom : What gene turned your nose brown?

• Catherine Willows : [Referring to a burned spot on the floor]  Now, get down and sniff the rug.

  Hodges : That's all they ever want.

• Gil Grissom : Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

  Hodges : Winston Churchill.

  Gil Grissom : Ian Fleming.
