Brass: Oh, you took his last name. (Sara laughs and shakes her head)

Catherine [to Ray]: I'm learning that when I can't find you, I should look down here.
Ray (is trying to tie organs into a bow using a lathroscope): This is very difficult. It's like attempting to tie a cherry stem in a knot with your tongue.
Catherine: I can do that. ... After a few drinks.
Ray: Our Dr. Jekyll has some remarkable surgicial skills.
Catherine: Dr. Jekyll?
Ray: Who ever mutilated Mr. Biglow.

Ray: No surgeon I ever met.
Catherine: You did get permission from the family to use this body for research?
Ray: Not necessary. Take a look. (Cath lifts the blanket, revealing a pig, she smiles) I'm hosting a luau later.

Catherine: So Jason and whoever killed him were out in the woods blowing up a safe?
Ray: Which suggests that they were planning a good old fashioned robbery.
Catherine: You know that my dad was a casino boss, right? Every few weeks he had to collect the revenue from all of his low-end, low-volume operations. Nickel slots from bars, mini-marts, grocery store keno, that kind of thing. And we're not talking small potatoes, either. A quarter mil, easy, even on a bad month. An armored truck would go around town making the pick-ups. But when they were done, the bank would be closed. So they would drive to Sam's business office, where he kept a big ol' vault in a room all by itself. Sam loved showing it off to me as the sacks of coin and bricks of cash went into it. Anyway, the money would go into the vault and stay there until the next morning when the armored car guys would return and take it to the bank. I think we need to find out if there's a safe on the premises.

Catherine: This looks like an implantable RFID. Radio frequency identification chip?
Doc Robbins: Yeah, I know they're used for tracking inventory at Walmart. And unless the 13th Amendment got repealed while I wasn't looking, (points to a picture of the victim) that's not inventory.
Catherine: Implantable RFID are pretty new. There's some high-end nightclubs that give them to their VIPs to make it easy for them to run up a tab.
Doc Robbins: Oh, yeah. Having a chip surgically implanted in your body is so much more convenient than putting a credit card in your pocket.
Catherine: Well, not everything I wear out has pockets.
Doc Robbins: I'll buy you a purse.

Ray: You tell me.

Officer Finn: That's right.
Brass: Oh, yeah? (plays the dispatch recording of Officer Finn calling Sergeant Johnson a black son of a bitch)
Officer Finn: I don't remember saying that.
Union Rep: I'm advising you not to speak, not until we hear the full recording and the witness statements.
Officer Finn: You think I'm racist? I don't remember, if I said he was black, I was decribing the suspect. I was so focused on what the gun was doing I...
Brass: Did you see his face?
Officer Finn: No, it was dark out.
Brass: Are you telling me, you didn't recognize Scott Johnson? He was a trainee, he rode with you, he was your partner for four months. You spent 8 hours a day in a car together. You saw more of him than you did of your wife.
Union Rep: This was over 5 years ago.
Brass: Are you telling me you didn't recognize a guy who put a formal complaint in your file for racial discrimination? Let me read this to you: (starts reading the complaint) "Frequent and excessive use of racial epithets including the 'N' word."
Officer Finn: First of all, no. I didn't recognize Johnson. And second, yeah, I use street talk with the trainees.
Brass: Come on, you know that doesn't fly anymore.
Officer Finn: But believe me, what they get from me is nothing compared to what they're gonna get from the real gorillas in the jungle.
Union Rep: That's a poor choice of words.
Officer Finn: I am training them for the real world and out of the dozens and dozens of people I have trained, and that is every color of the rainbow, pal. That hard ass was the only one who ever complained. The only one. He's the racist, not me.

Doc Robbins: Coach was struck at least a dozen times.
Nick: A lot of rage here.
Doc Robbins: Agreed. The multiple impacts crushed his skull and drove bone fragments into his brain, causing catastrophic hemorrhaging. It's like when you push your finger into a hard-boiled egg. The shell cracks but the pieces stay in place.
Nick: Thanks for ruining another breakfast for me.
Doc Robbins: It's what I do.

Doc Robbins: C'mon, you're not gonna ask me about the zombie thing?
Nick: Well, you're obviously eager to tell me.
Doc Robbins: Well, damage was predominantly on the right side of the brain to the neo-cortex which controls thought, language and reason. It was almost completely destroyed. But the paleo-cortex which lies beneath it remained intact. The paleo-cotrex controls learned instinct and rituals. Which explains why the victim was able to brush his teeth and eat his breakfast without noticing that he was bleeding.
Nick: They never seem to get that right in zombie movies.

Catherine: That's a lot of computing power for a football coach.
Ray: It's a complex game, two teams, 11 players each play crafted with multiple levels of redundancy and yet most academics and intellectuals prefer baseball. I suppose it's for the poetry.
Catherine: I just like to watch the guy's hit each other and I like their butts.

Nick: I'm from Austin. I grew up playing football.

Ray: I need a couple of volunteers.
Wendy: Okay, I'm in. (she looks towards Hodges who doesn't say anything. Hodges shakes his head) He would love to.
Ray: Thanks.
Hodges: Can I at least hear what I'm volunteering for, considering I've just been drafted.
Ray: Campus police always circled Coach Miller's house, they would've noticed a parked car. I'm thinking the killer approached on foot.
Wendy: And since the killer was most likely associated with the university, that means that he would've walked back to his place on campus--
Hodges: Ditching the murder weapon and blood evidence along the way. It's all very Mission Impossible.
Wendy: What are you talking about? It's a great theory. (to Ray) It's a great theory.
Ray: Thank you. Can we go?
Hodges: I'm eating.
Ray: There's plenty of food where we're going.

Pal: Looks like a fingerprint.
Brass: Yeah, yours. Found on your .38 caliber Smith and Wesson, found in your car with a dead hooker.
Pal: Sounds like you're accusing me of something.
Brass: I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm charging you with vechicular manslaughter and negligent homicide.
Pal: Well, why don't you charge me with the JFK assassination while you're at it?
Brass: Nah, I'll let you slide on that one. But I could add in first degree murder of Coach Miller.
Pal: Now, that's not funny.

TV Show: CSI - Crime Scene Investigation
Pal: You found my Beemer? Good work, boys.
