S2Ep07 - Caged
It's Oh no, Nicky time! Just like in S1Ep17 Face Life, when Greg tells Nick he had been handling radioactive uranium, Greg discovers something scary about Nick's crimescene... ! It's not all doom and gloom though; our boys are also talking about porn in the lab. Yeah, baby. *g*


01.
GREG: You ever see the attack of the killer tomatoes?

02.
GREG: 'Cause there's something in the victim's blood that looks like one of those heirlooms.

03.
NICK: Well, it's not pulling a spectra. It's not a chemical.

04.
GREG: No, it's a large, ugly, globular mass.

05.
GREG: You know, it's probably a protein 'cause it's the largest mass of anything in the body-- *snorts at self* except organs, of course.
{He's babbling, it's adorable;)}

06.
NICK: But it's foreign. How did it get in there?

07.
GREG: Cart before the horse, Nick.

08.
GREG: First you identify it, then you figure out where it came from.

09.
NICK: I always thought you kept your porn in there.

10.
GREG: I move it around.

11.
:-) {Right. Moving on...}

12.
GREG: Okay, now, this is a 66-kilodalton globular protein,...

13.
GREG: ...composed of two disulfide-linked sub-units, a and B.

14.
NICK: Very impressive.

15.
GREG: I know what you all think of me -- I'm just another pretty face who got to where I am by sleeping with Catherine.

16.
...

17.
*wiggles eyebrows*

18.
GREG: But seriously ... Phi Beta Kappa, Stanford. Can I help it if I'm hip?

19.
NICK: Yeah, yeah, which one of your relatives got you in?

20.
GREG: Full ride. Hey!

21.
GREG: Eyes forward!

22.
GREG: A and B chains link together to form a large three-dimensional structure of these beta sheets and helices.

23.
{Heh. Nick's not really paying attention to what Greg is saying, although he clearly enjoys the babbling;)}

24.
NICK: Translation...?
{Told you he wasn't listening;0)}

25.
GREG: Wait!

26.
NICK: You just drew the molecular structure of a foreign protein. A Plant?

27.
GREG: Correct. But, more specifically, a lectin.

28.
*Greg gasps*

29.
GREG: ...This is nastier than I thought.

30.
GREG: It's ricin, a biotoxin.

31.
NICK: Biotoxin?

32.
GREG: Yeah. "B chain binds to glycoside residues which trigger endocytotic uptake of the protein which internalizes the toxin and begins the irreversible effects ... "

33.
NICK: Whoa, whoa, whoa,...

34.
NICK: ...stop now.

35.
NICK: Biotoxin, as in anthrax, smallpox?

36.
NICK: I was at that crime scene for eight hours, man.

37.
GREG: Relax, man.*

38.
GREG: It takes, like, two hours for ricin symptoms to show...

39.
GREG: ...and, like, 48 more to kill you.


40.
NICK: What kind of symptoms are we talking about, here?

41.
GREG: Um ... sweats?

42.
*Nick shakes head

43.
GREG: Cramps?

44.
NICK: No.

45.
GREG: Convulsions?

46.
NICK: Mm-mm. {Translation: No.}

47.
GREG: Then you're fine!

48.
:-)

49.
:-/

50.
{Next scene: Nick back at the crime scene, all wrapped up in protective clothing;)}

{We know it's supposed to be scary, but nervous Nick makes us giggle;) Oh, Greg, way to reassure someone...}


Greg winding up Nick is the best thing ever. Although credit to Nick for trying to get to Greg with the porn remark, but Greg didn't miss a beat in replying to that;) Heehee. Much teasing back and forth. Squee in the comments! Suggested subjects: Greg's hair! Nick's old ring! Greg's shirt! Nick's secret smiles! ALL THE THINGS \o/


Your Mods,

BeeLikeJ, Sillie and SlashxYouxUp

*Man, Greg repeating Nick's speech pattern reminds us of a moment in S3Ep19 A Night At The Movies where Nick is doing the same with Greg. Very cute:)

Oh god, I totally forgot about that scene until now. They're so adorable! ♥

I miss geeky, totally badass awesome Greg, though he's resurfaced recently which makes me a happy camper :)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I adore smart Greg, he is the coolest:) "Can I help it if I'm hip". :-D

[cali-cowgirl08.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, the good old days :D
Pic #25 -- lack of personal space! #33 -- Nick's hand on Greg's shoulder!! I miss the days of our boys being all casually touchy-feely just because they could. Le sigh.

Plus what you can't see: in #47 Greg is reassuring Nick by putting a hand on his shoulder! I too miss the days in the lab (confined space;) *sighs with you*

Am I the only one that sees frame 32 to be almost a booty check? :D
I love it when Greg babbles, it makes him so much more of a nerd, but a very adorable nerd! :)

Oh man, old school CSI. Look at how young they both look! I love this scene (I actually drew it once). Boys! *smishes them*
