CSI: Crime Scene Investigation2000

Nick Stokes:
Two pieces of duct tape, both have been swabbed for DNA and fingerprinted.

[Hodges is looking around for someone]

Nick Stokes:
Grissom wants you to compare adhesives. He's looking for a match.

[Nick glances for whom Hodges is casting about]

Hodges:
Ok. That'll take a laser ablation test. That's good.

Nick Stokes:
Why's that good?

Hodges:
Well, laser ablation is both visual *and* dramatic.

Nick Stokes:
Are you looking for the video crew right now?

Hodges:
[scoffs] I would think they would be looking for *me*.

Nick Stokes:
Relax, man, their show is only an hour long; laser ablation takes, like, six.

Hodges:
Yeah, but when they cut it together, it'll only take 30 seconds.

[Nick smiles, amused, and leaves]

[30-second montage of laser ablation preparation and FX]

Hodges:
[to Grissom:] Ran laser ablation on the duct tape samples. Not a match.
