"What? Oh no. You've got that 'plotting' look."
"How does Nick know about your fear of the dark?"
"... I hate you back now."
"I KNEW IT!"
"Knew what?"
"We kinda have an office pool going on as to whether or not you two are gay together."
"WHAT!"
"Yeah! You and he flirt all the time! Only Hodges thinks you're not, but that's because he has a crush on you..."
"Nick and I are not- Wait, what? Hodges has a crush on me?"
"Um, duh. It's only obvious."
"Oh." ((grins)) "That's a little flattering. But, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not gay with Nick. I'm not gay at all."
"... but then how does he know-?"
"Well... it's a little embarrassing..."
"What?"
((mutters))
"What was that?"
"Me and Nick... got stuck in this closet last week."
((stares)) "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Shut up! That's how I knew the door was jammed and that no one would come around here till midnight. That's when we got out. And that's how he knows that I'm afraid of the dark."
"Who, hahaha! found you? Hahahaha!"
"Grissom and Brass. Brass was grinning like and idiot - stop laughing! - I assume we just confirmed his suspections about which team we bat for."
"No wonder he doubled his bet last week! He's gonna be so pissed that you're not! Haha!"
"... thanks for your support."
"I'm sorry! It's funny!"
"Yeah, sure, hilarious. The people I work with think I'm gay. Not to fuel your fire by the use of this word, but that's just fabulous."
"At least you didn't do the gay voice."
"True. Still, how would you like it if everyone thought you and... Catherine were sleeping together?"
"I wouldn't mind it. Catherine is an attractive woman. And they can think all they want about me."
"You wouldn't be upset?"
"No."
"Not at all?"
"Not at all. Greg, sexual orientation doesn't bug women like it bugs men."
"It doesn't bug me. Who says it bugs me?"
"You were freaking out about you and Nick!"
"Yeah, but I also said I was flattered that Hodges had a crush on me. Even if it is Hodges." ((cringe)) "Why do you think that Hodges is gay, anyway? Has he told you?"
"Well, no. But he never looks at women, and he's always in your lab. And I have excellent gaydar."
((snort)) "Oh, now I get it."
"Get what?"
"You think he's gay because he doesn't flirt with you."
"What! Why would I want Hodges to flirt with me! Ewe! That's just, ewe!"
"Think about it, Sara. Every other guy in the lab flirts with you like crazy. Archie, Bobby, David, Nick, sometimes even Warrick does. Hodges doesn't. That must drive you nuts!"
"It does not!"
((dramatic))"So nuts that you created awful, awful rumors about poor poor Hodges!"
"Shut up! I don't create rumors!"
"And then spread them around to all of your awful, horrible little friends!"
"Little friends? My little friend Warrick could kick your ass!"
"Point very much taken. Shutting up."
