CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Season 10

Wendy:
What is up with Ecklie?

Hodges:
Excuse me?

Wendy:
He said he's not gonna let anybody else pull a Sanders. I don't get to go out in the field. And the thing that really pisses me off about this, I have recommendation letters from Grissom, Catherine and Nick in my file. It didn't make any difference to him. I mean, it's ridiculous, this is supposed to be a meritocracy.

Hodges:
Since when?

Wendy:
Et tu, Hodges?

Hodges:
It's a bureaucracy. Just keeping it real. You want me to talk to Conrad for you?

Wendy:
Yeah, no, I can talk to him myself.

Hodges:
You sure? We're in book club together and Conrad respects my opinion. At least where Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is concerned.

Wendy:
I thought you were against me going from lab rat to field mouse?

Hodges:
I just want you to be happy.
