Best Quote:
"A dame was dead, but enough about her. The air was hot and heavy with wrong, making me thirsty. Thirsty for a tall drink of water."

Best Dialog:
Frank Rosetti: "I don't sell bridal diapers for nothing."
Greg: "He was kidding about the diapers, right?"

My Comment:
A very entertaining episode. So damn funny too. Along with "Gum Drops" and "Still Life" one of the best episodes this season. Everything fits together. The case. Greg´s appearance. The jokes. The atmosphere. The colors. Shipperstuff. The guest stars (Veronica Cartwright is such a great actress. Do you know she played the little girl in Hitchcock´s "The Birds"?).

The storyline with Nick´s stolen SUV is pure fun. Angry Nick amused me quite a bit.
I certainly agree with Sara´s opinion on weddings, marriage and love.
Though I don´t like what Greg says about a weeding. "I'm with Vince Vaughn on this one. Dozens of horny, single women with access to an open bar and coupling on their mind." That´s not nice, my boy.
The pissed-off Undersheriff Jeff McKeen made me laugh. Gil was so provocative being calm and honest. The way he handles the sheriff is wonderful.

Gil talks seriously to Greg, Sara and Nick and suddenly rock music sounds as Greg's phone goes off. That look of Grissom. Priceless. Greg seems pretty intimidated. And what were the lyrics of the song playing? I understood "You love making love". Can this be true? Correct me if I´m mistaken. Oh boy!!! What a great moment for me and any other Greg/Grissom shipper out there. Also I love the tone in which Grissom says to Greg "You paged?" in a later scene.

Nick and Sara. They tease each other a lot. She is a skeptic. He is a romantic. Nick even flirts with her and she smiles.

The weeding DVD: Oh nightmare. Poor little bride.

Grissom: Everyone sees the flowers, he sees the bugs. The man is unbelievable. Please Sara, think!!! Who wants to live with such a man. He only loves bugs - and Greg of course. *silly giggling*

The diaper thing. Eeeeh! I´m disgusted.
Greg playing Raymond Chandler. Hilarious.

Grissom and Hodges.
Grissom: "Are you done?"
Hodges: "You know, you and me, we're not the marrying kind. The intricacies of our nature can never be understood by just one woman."
Grissom: "Would you close the door, please?"
Hodges goes to the door and closes it. He's still in the office.
Grissom: "From the other side."
With this pairing I have the fun now I had with Grissom and Greg in earlier seasons. *sigh* Thinking of the good old times.

Greg and Sara. I like it when he teases her by calling her Negative Nelly.

Grissom: "I'm sure our stories are all the same." Ups! Don´t be so sure.
