[Jo is trying to determine why Sid has been acting suspiciously]
Sid Hammerback: It's the Hammerback Sleeper.
[flashback to Sid asking Mac to test the prototype]
Sid Hammerback: I give you... the Hammerback Sleeper.
Mac Taylor: "You'll sleep like a corpse"?
Sid Hammerback: It's an experimental pillow I've developed after years of working in the M.E.'s Office.
[back to Autopsy]
Jo Danville: I've heard about it. What's the problem?
Sid Hammerback: I just sold the patent this morning.
Jo Danville: Well, congratulations. That's good, isn't it?
Sid Hammerback: Oh, yeah. Um, it was purchased by a Japanese firm. Apparently, they're going to market it as an anti-snoring pillow.
Jo Danville: Anti-snoring, huh? God, I could have used that with my ex-husband. I would've paid dearly for that.
Sid Hammerback: [choking up] Yep. That's pretty much what they did.
Jo Danville: Sid, are you okay?
Sid Hammerback: [still emotional] Uh... actually, no. I'm, um... incredible. Jo, they bought my patent... for $27 million.
Jo Danville: What?
Sid Hammerback: I'm a very rich man, and-and I have no idea what to do about it.
