DAVID HODGES: Good thing you didn't have to take a spelling test to work the
field.
(David picks up the jar and shows the label to Greg.)
DAVID HODGES: "Funtain" water?
GREG: My people are Norwegian. That's how we spell it. So, is the "funtain" water in her lungs?
DAVID HODGES: All bodies of water contain unicellular algae.
GREG: Called diatoms. They're unique, like fingerprints. Diatoms from one body of water don't match those from any other.
DAVID HODGES: Well, you're roughly right. Here, take a look.
(He moves aside and lets Greg look through the scope.)
[SCOPE VIEW]
(There are two sets of diatoms.)
DAVID HODGES: The diatoms on the left are from the water found in your victim's
lungs and the diatoms on the right are from the fountain. Not a match.
GREG: Not even close. Which means she didn't drown there.
DAVID HODGES: I'll throw you a bone.
(Hodges turns around to get something from the counter.)
GREG: She blew you off, didn't she?
(Hodges turns back with a test tube.)
DAVID HODGES: The water from the fountain is heavily chlorinated. No, she didn't blow me off. I didn't ask her out. But this sample, found in your vic's lungs, contains polymethylhexalene biguanide ... and anyway, I heard she blew you off first. It's a chlorine alternative. It's less irritating.
GREG: Vanessa Keaton died in a pool.
DAVID HODGES: Or a spa ... and by the way, that's spelled S-P-A in any
language.
