VELASQUEZ: "suit up: hazmat" LOTTIE: "why is all this necesasry?" VELASQUEZ: "you'll see. we don't want to contaminate the crime scene. Also there's a biological perspective. Lotta question marks"

VELASQUEZ: "Loose end: an auto theft"
LOTTIE: "must have been kids I guess!"
To GRACE:
LOTTIE: "what's the protocol for making sure no investigators leave the site with these materials?"
GRACE: "I'm just a professor... are you saying there's something you want me to be doing?" LOTTIE: "I'd love if we started bag-checking your students before they leave the site" GRACE: "we're happy to follow any protocol, but also we're professionals and know that leaving with evidence would be illegal" LOTTIE: "yeah we're gonna do searches" STUDENTS: "what the hell!?" LOTTIE: "this seems like a really tight ship actually, excited to take this off your hands at noon"
LOTTIE: "by the way, who's been giving you the most trouble?"

It seems so personal!" LOTTIE: "I have a pet theory: I'm really suspicious of that guy with the gross mustache." VELASQUEZ: "you mean that county guy COSTA? you have reason to suspect him? he's a buffoon, for sure, but why would he be involved in this?"
