CSI: NY2004

[Jo is trying to determine why Sid has been acting suspiciously]

Sid Hammerback:
It's the Hammerback Sleeper.

[flashback to Sid asking Mac to test the prototype]

Sid Hammerback:
I give you... the Hammerback Sleeper.

Mac Taylor:
"You'll sleep like a corpse"?

Sid Hammerback:
It's an experimental pillow I've developed after years of working in the M.E.'s Office.

[back to Autopsy]

Jo Danville:
I've heard about it. What's the problem?

Sid Hammerback:
I just sold the patent this morning.

Jo Danville:
Well, congratulations. That's good, isn't it?

Sid Hammerback:
Oh, yeah. Um, it was purchased by a Japanese firm. Apparently, they're going to market it as an anti-snoring pillow.

Jo Danville:
Anti-snoring, huh? God, I could have used that with my ex-husband. I would've paid dearly for that.

Sid Hammerback:
[choking up] Yep. That's pretty much what they did.

Jo Danville:
Sid, are you okay?

Sid Hammerback:
[still emotional] Uh... actually, no. I'm, um... incredible. Jo, they bought my patent... for $27 million.

Jo Danville:
What?

Sid Hammerback:
I'm a very rich man, and-and I have no idea what to do about it.
