Re: Gil & Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do W/O H
To Nesting Dolls already?
* --she's so cute when she's in charge--
CATH: Okay. (to the drivers) Gentlemen! Start your shovels!
* --PureJoy at its finest--
GRISSOM: Hey! They told me you dug up two bodies covered in tar? .............. So. How you going to separate them?
CATH: I'm not sure yet. Obviously I can't saw through without potentially destroying evidence, so ... if the tar were harder, I could chisel it. If it were softer, we could peel it off.
GRISSOM: I have an idea.
CATH: Of course you do, but last I checked, the backlog on grave was about ... mmm ... a hundred cases?
GRISSOM: You've been spending too much time with Ecklie. I'm off the clock. I came in early for this.
- - -
She knows that since she's not around to help him, that he's extremely backlogged!!
* --Gil did a boo boo--
GRISSOM: Huh...... Oh, boy. I gotta get my shift started. Good luck with the case.
CATH: No, no, no. You're not going to just destroy this skull and split.
GRISSOM: You can make a nice mold from the impression.
CATH: I'm short-handed as it is.
GRISSOM: I think Sara just wrapped a case. If you need her, she's yours.
*sigh* sorry, I was drooling at the PureJoy memory.
* --presentable Greg?--
SARA: Wow. Look at you, Mr. Straightedge. I did not know that your hair could do that.
GREG: I look like a dork.
SARA: No, no. No, you look like a pro, which is what you are. Let me guess - a prelim for Sherlock?
GREG: Yep.
SARA: Uh-huh. Who's your judge?
GREG: Uh ... Dudley ... Anderson?
SARA: Yeah. Well, not the sharpest tool in the shed.... Speak slowly. Use simple terms. You're gonna nail it.
CATH: Sara. You're mine tonight.
* -- Sara/Cath interrogating the husband--
too long to post the convo, but I'm really surprised that Cath let the interview continue the way it did and not interrupt the way she normally does.
* --the blowup--
SARA: Look, all I am asking is to have a black-and-white do regular welfare checks.
CATH: Did the wife ask for help?
SARA: Well, that's kind of hard to do when you don't speak English and you're a sex slave. I'm sure she doesn't know her rights.
CATH: You can't arrest someone for marrying the wrong person.
SARA: You would know.
CATH: If the guy's an abuser, if he killed his first wife, we will build a case and we will nail him.
SARA: And in the meantime, he can just keep using her as a punching bag.
CATH: Sara, I was there -- there wasn't a mark on her.
SARA: Not that we could see, Catherine.
CATH: You know ... every time we get a case with a hint of domestic violence or abuse, you go off the deep end. What is your problem?
SARA: Yeah, I probably do, and you let your sexuality cloud your judgment about men, and I'm gonna go over your head.
ECKLIE: Sidle....Get in my office. Now.
I like the way they did this. For Cath's part of the conversation, she was keeping her voice low and conversational, trying for a meaningful discussion. Sara was the one who started yelling, ultimately causing the scene to come to Ecklie's attention.
Also liked the beginning of the next scene, where Warrick asks Cath what's going on. Cath could have said something derogatory about Sara, but chose to keep the incident to herself.
* --Sara's apartment--
I liked this scene where Sara opens up. I know there's no way they could have done it because of the storyline they wanted, but I kind of wish it had been Catherine that went to Sara's and they could have sat down & calmly discussed things and had a friendship bonding type of scene. I always hate it when the girls fight. Plus, we never do see Cath/Sara ever come to terms with the "incident". Maybe it's just the "thong" shipper in me wanting some resolve.
* --dating is simple?--
WARRICK: Find anything you like, buddy?
CATHERINE: So, you can't sell your kids, but you can buy their mother.
NICK: "I looking for kindest, noble man." Well, I got news for you, sugar pants. Buying women ain't that noble.
WARRICK: Well, life is short. Dating's complicated. This makes it much simpler, doesn't it?
CATH: It's not supposed to be simple. Complicated is the whole point.
WARRICK: It is?
CATH: Yeah.
NICK: Hey, wait a minute. You're not telling me you're into this stuff?
WARRICK: Me? No. But you know, for a guy who's over 40, lonely, tired of the bar scene, got a little cash, wants to buy himself a sweet honey, be his companion ...
NICK: He needs a translator, 'cause you're not even speaking the same language.
WARRICK: That's the best part.
CATHERINE: (groans) Ugh ... !
NICK: Best part of what?
Ah! Clueless Nick is so cute!
* --Sara was right?--
CATH: Do you believe this?
WARRICK: What, that the guy locks up his food?
CATH: Locks his wife out.
WARRICK: You think he's trying to protect his investment? Weight goes up. Value goes down.
CATH: Control her food, control her destiny, I don't know.
WARRICK: Look at this.....She can't even call out for pizza.
CATH: Or help.
As I said...Sara was right! (shhhhh! you didn't hear me say that!)
* --taking "her" side Gil?--
CATH: (to Ecklie) Okay, here's what I wanted to show you. The facts just don't match up.
GRISSOM: You wanted to talk to me about Sara?
CONRAD: I haven't received her disciplinary action. What's the holdup?
GRISSOM: Well, I'm not firing her.
CATH: What action are you taking?
GRISSOM: I've taken it.
CONRAD: I thought I was clear.
GRISSOM: You were. Now let me be clear. Sara's behavior is a direct result of my management.
CONRAD: So I should fire you.
GRISSOM: But you won't.
CONRAD: Look, Gil ... I've been there. We're human. We get attached to people, we try to fix their problems. It doesn't work.
GRISSOM: She's a great criminalist, Conrad. And I need her.
CONRAD: I'm sure you do. You know what? She's a loose
cannon with a gun. And she's all yours.
I know Catherine didn't expect Gil to actually fire Sara, just let her have some time off. Her comment seemed a bit puzzling to me.
* --the looks--
Oh, somebody PLEASE bring the pictures!
