the dead don't bleed

from csi episode 2-23, the hunger artist:

GRISSOM: I'm sorry about your sister, Cassie.

CASSIE JAMES: The dead don't bleed.

GRISSOM: True. Death does have some advantages. Would you like me to help you get in a shelter?

CASSIE JAMES: No, I would need a shelter from a shelter. No, no, no. Out here, I can hunt and I can range and I can find the things that I need out here. I mean, you never know what you need until you find it.

GRISSOM: Or until you lose it.

CASSIE JAMES: I mean, all we are is what we try to get rid of. Fat and newspapers and loneliness and cat food cans. And there are going-away people and there are left-behind people but, you know, everybody's secrets ... everybody's secrets are the same.

GRISSOM: Were your and your sister's secrets the same?

CASSIE JAMES: My sister didn't have secrets. Her secrets had her. That ... I told you I didn't ... I don't know. I mean, you know, y-y-you-you can pick through a million lives and never have one of your own.

GRISSOM: Looking for things, analyzing them ... trying to figure out the world -- that's a life.

CASSIE JAMES: You never know what you need until you find it. And the next thing I find it might be the thing that changes everything.

GRISSOM: What will you do when you find it?

CASSIE JAMES: Sleep ... the most perfect sleep.

indeed.
