BURDEN OF PROOF, Nick finds blood in the fridge.
NICK: You leaving your experiments in our refrigerator.
GRISSOM: Well, the lab fridge was full. I put in last night.
NICK: Well ...
GRISSOM: I'm going to test for horizontal motion on bloodstains. Vis-a-vis surface textures.
(NICK looks annoyed. CATHERINE takes a sip of her coffee and discretely tries to ignore the smell. GRISSOM is clueless as he takes out the container of blood
from the fridge and opens it.)
GRISSOM: Hey, any of you guys got any linoleum at home?
(CATHERINE catches a whiff of the open container and this time, she discretely pinches her nose trying to avoid the smell. SARA is quiet.)
NICK: (sits down still annoyed at being ignored) That blood is rank, man.
GRISSOM: I know. That's why the Red Cross gives it to us 'cause it's past its expiration date.
(GRISSOM merrily closes the cap on the container, opens the fridge and puts it back on the top shelf. He shuts the door and stands up.)
:lol: you know how sometimes Grissom is just so immersed in his own little world that he doesn't register the surroundings at all? :lol:
NESTING DOLLS, Grissom breaks the skull in tar
(Grissom stares at the broken skull. He turns and looks at Catherine.)
GRISSOM: Huh.
(Catherine clears her throat.)
(Grissom glances down at his watch.)
GRISSOM: Oh, boy. I gotta get my shift started. Good luck with the case.
CATHERINE: No, no, no. You're not going to just destroy this skull and split.
GRISSOM: You can make a nice mold from the impression.
:lol: He's acting like a giddy kid in this whole scene, it's just too precious.
A lot of my fav "Grissom moments" consists of only a look or an expression. I don't remember where this comes from, but he was in the morgue talking to Doc Robbins, then he turns around and sees David, who becomes so nervous that he starts rattling off his routine autopsy procedures. Grissoms just stares at him deadpan throughout the monologue, and after David finishes, there's a pause, before Grissom gives him a tiny smile and says "Go for it." Boy, that scene cracks me up! Grissom does have the power to make others uneasy. I think the only one who hasn't had some sort of performance anxiety before him is Warrick.
But back on topic: there's also the half-smirk he gives Hodges at the end of their metal ball discussion, and the raised-eyebrow look when Greg says he reads classics when they're about dismembered bodies. Oh, not to forget the way he delivers the line "She hates it when we're apart" in JACKPOT. Hilarious!
EDIT: oops, didn't realize it was so long. Sorry if I gave anybody a headache!
