Quotes 

• Lieutenant Horatio Caine : But that's not what brought the plane down.

  Eric Delko : No... mmm... actually the shoe hit the fan, I found a piece of leather in the N°2 engine.

  Megan Donner : [Megan cuts into their conversation]  Let me guess, red suede $450 a pair, right?

• Megan Donner : Nice thing about hair, it grows at an even rate, about a half an inch a month.

  Tim Speedle : Gives us a nice time line.

  Megan Donner : Yeah, she'd been using antidepressants for the past year, Prozac and Zoloft, six months ago she smoked some pot.

  Tim Speedle : And they say blondes have more fun.

• Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Listen, I am sorry for the way things turned out for you, but I did not ask for this job.

  Megan Donner : I know.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Anytime you want to take it back, let me know.

  Megan Donner : That's not my call, either.

• Megan Donner : [with Speed]  This is a level two biohazard site. We should be taking precautions.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : [cut to him and Calleigh]  All search personnel should have Tyvexx overalls on, double gloves, masks, and decontamination after every shift.

  Megan Donner : Everyone doses up on antibiotics. The water's full of blood-borne pathogens and bacteria from body decomp, not to mention 6,000 pounds of Jet-A fuel.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : No shift should last more than 20 minutes. No food or water on site.

  Megan Donner : They won't be able to eat out there. Spray from the airboat props will cause contamination.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : We're treating this as a crime scene, which means no object too small. Any doubts, bag it and tag it.

• Tim Speedle : [talking to two witnesses]  Fishing, my ass. Did you see the size of that rifle in their boat? .30-06. They were poaching gators.

  Megan Donner : There are panthers out in the Glades. How do you know the rifle's not for protection? How do you know they didn't borrow the boat? Owner left his rifle inside.

  Tim Speedle : I trust my gut. It seems pretty obvious.

  Megan Donner : You sound just like Horatio. The problem with the obvious, Tim, is that it can make you overlook the evidence.

• Megan Donner : You thinking bomb?

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Well, the jury's still out. Welcome back, Megan. Why do you ask?

  Megan Donner : You're the expert.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Well, no gas washing, no pitting, no thinning of metal, no thermal effect. We still have to swab for RDX, PETN, but I think we'll know more when the evidence comes in.

  Megan Donner : NTSB told us to hold off on recovery.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Yeah, but they're not here yet, are they?

  Megan Donner : Horatio, we've been through this before.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : ValuJet in '96; I recall it well.

  Megan Donner : Then I don't need to remind you that feds have jurisdiction over any air crash. They deputize local agencies. We're working for them.

• Lieutenant Horatio Caine : The Everglades is a slow-moving river with a current that travels about four feet per hour.

  Megan Donner : I know. The crash site is degrading while we're standing here. We're losing evidence.

  Lieutenant Horatio Caine : Four feet per hour. We need to start processing right now.

  Megan Donner : That's not your call, or mine.

• Dr. Alexx Woods : She was on Prozac.

  Megan Donner : Who isn't.
