- Kate Murphy: Curtis tells me you have a bone fracture?
- Megan Hunt: Of the distal metacarpals, first and second finger.
- Kate Murphy: Are you asking me or telling me?
- Megan Hunt: You're the bone specialist.
- Detective Bud Morris: Am I missing something?
- Megan Hunt: Kate has a new boyfriend.
- Detective Bud Morris: Oh.
- Megan Hunt: My ex-husband
- Detective Bud Morris: Oh!
- Ethan Gross: And I just got off the phone with Peter.
- Detective Bud Morris: How is he?
- Ethan Gross: This guy goes into a burning house, the ceiling collapses on him, and all he gets is a bruised shoulder. I mean, it's like he made of adamantium.
- [Bud frowns]
- Ethan Gross: Like Wolverine, from the X-Men.
- [Bud shakes no]
- Ethan Gross: You gotta go to the movies.
- Curtis Brumfield: You know, relationships are hard, especially when it involves three people and two of 'em have history.
- Megan Hunt: And suddenly we're not talking about the Applebees anymore. What is on your mind, Curtis?
- Curtis Brumfield: I want you to know that 99.9% of the time, when it comes to you, I'm gonnae side wit Kate. But on her decision to date your ex, I think she is wrong. Like, Michael Jordan playing baseball kind of wrong.
- Megan Hunt: Wow. We actually agree on something... 0.1% of the time.
- Curtis Brumfield: So keep that in mind when I say this. As Deputy Chief Medical Examiner, you two need to work it out.
- Megan Hunt: I am being professional.
- Curtis Brumfield: Mm-hum.
- Mike Applebee: [in interrogation room] Will you please let me go? I need to see Jenna.
- Detective Bud Morris: Sorry Mike. We're not in habit of reuniting victims with their attackers.
- Ethan Gross: So, Megan's ex? Really?
- Kate Murphy: Not gonna happen, Ethan. Dr. Hunt.
- Megan Hunt: [walks in] Dr. Murphy. Did you finish your rapid touch prep yet?
- Ethan Gross: You know what? I think I left something in a place that isn't here, so...
- Kate Murphy: It's fine, Ethan. And, no, the John Doe's bone tissue needs to decalcify for another half-hour. Did you find anything that could be our blunt force trauma weapon?
- Megan Hunt: Maybe, but believe it or not, Ray Easton is still processing the scene. That man is a pain in my ass.
- Kate Murphy: Hmm. A lot of people say the same thing about you.
- [walks away]
- Ethan Gross: So, is it going to be like this from now on?
- Megan Hunt: Why do you ask me? She's the one who decided to date my ex-husband. Ask her.
- Megan Hunt: What's going on with you?
- Peter Dunlop: I know what it's like to wonder about your birth parents, because I wondered about mine for years.
- Megan Hunt: Excuse me? You're adopted?
- Peter Dunlop: Before my dad died, he gave me a sealed envelope. Inside was information about my birth parents. All I had to do was look, but I... I couldn't. So I put it in his coffin, and I said goodbye. You know, I thought that after I'd buried my father, that all those questions were behind me: who I was, where I came from, and...
- Megan Hunt: Take it from me. Just because you bury your father, the questions don't get buried with him.
- [Peter nods no]
- Megan Hunt: Hey, you're not the only one who gets to make annoying personal observations.
- Peter Dunlop: I guess not.
