1 thirsty: The adjective "thirsty" describes a desire or need for hydration. For example: I am thirsty, do you have any water? Note that the adjective thirsty is used with the verb "to be", not "to have": I AM thirsty.
2 scissors: "Scissors", or "a pair of scissors" are a common tool used for cutting, slicing or tearing things, such as a paper or scotch tape. In this dialogue, Horatio asks Brian to obtain a pair of scissors, for, you know, cutting things.
3 suburbs: The "suburbs" of a city are the outlying areas of it. In the United States and Great Britain, these areas are generally residential, and contrast with the dense urban areas of a city. Note that as an adjective, "suburban" can describe an area which is green and residential but is still located within the walls of a city.
