(It is stated by Grissom that he lives in a Townhouse and that he does advanced crossword puzzles)
Grissom: Technically it's a townhouse. And the crosswords are advanced, not genius. But you're right, I'm deficient in a lot of ways. But I never screw up one of my cases with personal stuff.

Sara: What do you think, Grissom?
Grissom: I can't answer that question.
Grissom: It's not about that. You all have different opinions but you've taken the same point of view. You've put yourself in the shoes of the passengers, but no-body's put themselves in the shoes of the victim. That's the point.
Sara: I'm sorry. What are you saying?
Grissom: Nobody stopped to ask Candlewell if he was all right. They just assumed, because he was kicking the back of Nate's seat, that he was a jerk --
because he was pushing his call button that he was bothering the Flight
Attendant -- because he was trying to get into the lavatory he was making a
scene -- because he was going back and forth up and down the aisles, he was
posing a threat.
Catherine: He was a threat.
Grissom: No. He turned into a threat. It didn't have to be that way. People make assumptions. That's the problem. You just did. And I think these passengers made the wrong assumption and now this guy's dead.
Warrick: Well, if that's your stance how could it have been prevented?
Grissom: If just one person had stopped and taken the time to look at the guy, to listen to him, to figure out what was wrong with him it might not have happened. It took five people to kill him. It would have only taken one person to save his life.

Father Powell: Even if they're handed down by God?
Grissom: How many crusades were fought in the name of God? How many people died because of someones religion?
Father Powell: Fanaticism, not religion.
Grissom: Semantics. They're still dead.

Grissom: Yes. I find all deviant behavior fascinating in that to understand our human nature we have to understand our aberrations.
Lady Heather: And you think what goes on here is aberrant?
Grissom: I would say that whip marks and ligature contusions on a young woman are aberrant. Wouldn't you?
Lady Heather: Every job has it's peculiar hazards. Rock stars damage their ear drums. Football players ruin their knees. In this business, it's scars. But no one who works for me has ever sustained a serious injury.
Grissom: Mona did. She died.
Lady Heather: Not because she worked here that's your assumption. What happens here isn't about violence. It's about challenging preconceived notions of victorian normalcy. Bringing people's fantasies to life. Making them real and acceptable.
Grissom: Like the theatre.
Lady Heather: It's people who don't come to places like this that I worry about. The ones who don't have an outlet. Say...someone like yourself.

Lady Heather: And your sex life?
Grissom: It doesn't involve going to the theatre.
Lady Heather (smiles): In my experience, Mr. Grissom, some men go to the theater...some men are the theater. Either way, what I offer is a chance for submission or control, whichever required. Sometimes a client doesn't know what he wants until I show him.

(He also shows fierce loyalty and defends his team to his mentor Philip Gerard)

Grissom: Yeah. It's hereditary. I know I wasn't rational.
Doc Robbins: Look, Gil. I'm not gonna preach to you, you came to me. But Doctor to Doctor there's a chance the bone deposits have spread into the inner ear. In which case your hearing loss will eventually be permanent. If I were you, I'd schedule surgery as soon as possible

Marlon: And what would you have me do, huh, man? What?! I mean, I even thought about chemical castration.
Grissom: Medroxyprogesterone is inconclusive. It renders the subject incapable of erection, but it doesn't remove the drive. You would still be capable of sexual assault using other objects.

Grissom: We don't... hang out, Greg.
Greg: No kiddin? I just assumed.

Catherine: Brass spoke to Jill's attorney for next of kin... nonexistent. She's leaving a small fortune to various charities. Sounds to me like estrangement. (Grissom makes a face) Okay, even if that wasn't the exact way that it went down I'll bet you a dollar that the twins deaths are related.
Grissom: Two women found dead on opposite sides of town, if they didn't look alike would you still link them?

Grissom: Okay.
Catherine: Okay, what?
Grissom: I'll take the bet

Catherine: I don't know. This just feels different.
Grissom: It is different. (flashback to crime scene where Grissom takes a camera from Sara and caresses her arm) This girl holds me responsible for the death of Ernie Dell. I took away the only person she ever loved, so she's gonna do the same thing to me. (everyone looks confused)
