- Detective Lindsay Monroe: How do we find one valuable, antique volume in Manhattan that's been soaked in water much less thallium?
- Detective Mac Taylor: With a little reading on the subject.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: [walking into the room] How are you doing?
- Dr. Sid Hammerback: Let's just say I know how a microwave burrito feels. But I should also say thank you. I owe a great deal of my recovery to you.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: Aw, come on. That was nothing. You would do the same for me.
- Dr. Sheldon Hawkes: As a matter of fact, I would.
- Detective Mac Taylor: If you get tired of that Journal, I thought you might enjoy a little light reading.
- [hands him a new edition of the Tibetan Book of the Dead]
- Dr. Sid Hammerback: Oh yeah. A clean copy, I presume?
