Quote:CATHERINE: So, what do you have for me? I could use a rush.
GRISSOM: Well, this qualifies: 4-26. But I can't give you the case.
CATHERINE: Because?
GRISSOM: Conflict of interest. The alleged rape victim is an exotic dancer.
CATHERINE: (offended) Because I used to be one, I'll be biased?
GRISSOM: No. Suspect's your ex-husband. (beat) He's asking for you, but you can't take it.
CATHERINE: Just let me do the prelim.
GRISSOM: All right. (He gives her the assignment sheet.) Do what you can. But after the preliminary, you pass it off, okay?
Quote:(CATHERINE moves to stand in front of him. She looks at him expectantly. GRISSOM glances at NICK.)
GRISSOM: Uh, Nick, weren't you going to go and do the, uh...

NICK: Yeah. Yeah, okay, I'll do that.
(NICK leaves the break room. GRISSOM turns to look at CATHERINE.)
CATHERINE: So I saw Eddie. He actually... seemed scared.
GRISSOM: Did that make you happy?
CATHERINE: Um ... no. I'm not really sure what I ... feel.
GRISSOM: You're not still in love with Eddie? (She sighs.) Catherine, you have to hand off the case. Warrick can just double up.
(CATHERINE doesn't say anything.)

GRISSOM: (puzzled) Vigorous?
(From the other side of the shelf, )
WARRICK: She's trying to tell you Eddie likes it rough.
CATHERINE: Thank you, Warrick. Eddie said that she was into it.
GRISSOM: "He said. She said?" It's about the evidence, Catherine.
(GRISSOM steps back and heads toward the door. He turns to look at CATHERINE.)
GRISSOM: And you may not like where it takes you.
