Best cringe-inducing scenes:
Nick admits he was molested as a child.

(Nick walks out of the lab. Catherine calls after him.)
Catherine: You're racing me, Nick. We're driving the same car.
(Nick doesn't stop walking down the hallway. He doesn't respond to Catherine's question.)
Catherine: Nick!
(Nick still doesn't respond. He keeps walking down the hallway.)
Catherine: Nick, I'll have you removed from the case.
(Nick stops. He turns around as Catherine approaches him.)
Catherine: You're confronting suspects before the evidence is processed. You're flying solo, cutting me out. What's going on?
Nick: (he takes a deep breath) Okay. There are some people you're supposed to be able to trust, you know? I was nine. And she was a last-minute baby-sitter. (Catherine's stunned.) All I can remember doing afterwards is sitting in my room in the dark, staring at the door waiting for my mom to get home. But I've never told anyone before.
Catherine: I'm sorry.
Nick: It's what makes a person, I guess.
Nick: I'm sorry, Catherine.
(He walks away.)


Classic quips:
Grissom to Sheriff (talking about Brass's interruption): Ah, we're in a bowling league together.

Greg: Cheese. Milk. Sweaters. What do these things have in common?
Catherine: Goat cheese, goat milk.
Nick: Goat ... sweaters?
Catherine: Angora.
Greg: Ding, ding, ding. Fibers from the lady shrink, fibers from the boy. Both are angora.
(Greg hands Catherine an opened book.)
Nick: Angora is processed goat hair?
Greg: Mm-hmm.
Catherine: Sheered, washed, spun and dyed. Angora's 100% goat. You didn't know that, Nick?
(Catherine hands the book to Nick and leaves.)
Nick: Must be a chick thing.
(Greg laughs.)

Grissom: Man vs. Gravity. Man Lost.

Aha! moments:
Grissom electrocuting a pickle to demonstrate it can be done without leaving burn marks.


Romantic moments?
Grissom asks for Sara's pickle. When she gives it to him, he says, "Oh, that's a nice one."
