Favorite Criminal Minds Quotations (starting to gather them)
Reid: A sexual sadist can’t feel love.
Hotch: Well, define love.

Prentiss: Chocolate. I love chocolate.
Reid: Peas too! I-I-It’s also found in peas!
Prentiss: Peas?
Hotch: Reid..
Reid: Indeed! Some really comparable levels-

No Way Out, 02x13
JJ: Why is he still afraid of the dark?
Morgan: Yeah, Reid. Why are you still afraid of the dark?
Reid: Because of the inherent absence of light!
The Boogeyman, 02x06
Reid: I was able to differentiate between two distinct voices, two authors. I found various idiosyncratic words, phrases, punctuation and orthography within the blog.. entries consistent with each separate person, words like soda and pop. One guy uses dashes while the other guy uses ellipses (chuckles).
Detective Linden: …Where’d you find this kid?
Rossi: He was left in a basket on the steps of the FBI.
Soul Mates, 04x12
Gideon: Hey, Hotch.
Hotch: Yeah?
Gideon: Did you send flowers to that tech room girl, Garcia and.. say they were from me?
Hotch: Yeah.
Gideon: ..Why?
Hotch: Jason, people need to know they’re important, and sometimes, you forget that.
Gideon: Well I already sent her a gift. An MP3 player. It lasts longer.. unless you drop it or the battery dies. Whichever comes first.
Hotch: So she got two gifts.
Gideon: What if she thinks I’m sweet on her?
Elle: …
What Fresh Hell?, 01x12
Morgan: You know, Emily, you really need to trust people.
Prentiss: I trust people..
Morgan: No you don’t. You don’t because you can’t. And I get it. Every time you try to count on someone they let you down, so you go at it alone. You’ll never admit that because you’re just too damn stubborn. It’s alright, it doesn’t really matter. But I’ll tell you what does matter. That you can trust me, Emily. With anything. I’m serious. No matter how awful you think it is, I promise you; you are not alone. I just wish you believed that.
Prentiss: I do. (pause) you profile me again, you wish you hadn’t.
Valhalla, 06x17
Seaver: ..Is that the one where they fly around in the phone booth?
Reid: First of all, it’s a police box. Not a phone booth. Second of all, Doctor Who started a quarter of a century before Bill and Teddy even went on their bodacious adventures so really they should’ve just called it Bill and Ted’s Excellent Rip Off. I mean at least then they would’ve made-
Seaver: I’m really sorry.
Reid: For what?
Seaver: Asking.
Coda, 06x16
Prentiss: Thank you.
Reid: For what?
Prentiss: For being you.
Reid: Aw, thanks. I don’t know who to be anyone else.
Prentiss: Yeah. That’s what I love about you.
Sense Memory, 06x14
Morgan: Hey, Reid (calls him over).
Reid: What’s up?
Morgan: Our man here was a prolific journaler.
Prentiss: With teeny tiny hand writing.
Reid: He probably had counseling at some point where journaling was part of his therapy.
Prentiss: That’s what we were thinking.
Reid: …and?
Morgan: And, well.. you know the two of us it would take us like three days to read all of this stuff.
Reid: You guys owe me.
A Thousand Words, 05x20
Prentiss: I can walk.
Morgan: Sit. I like pushing you around.
Retaliation, 05x11
Garcia: This call for you from Sean McCallister came to my phone accidentally. He sounded very hot, and very important.
Prentiss: Did he leave a message?
Garcia: No, but it’s from Paris. A Scottish guy calling from Paris. Know this, Emily. Even if he is ugly, Scottish guys are hot. It’s the accent.
Prentiss: I’ll keep that in mind.
Garcia: So what’s this guy? Is he an ex? International bootycall?
The Thirteenth Step, 06x13
Hotch: Woah. That is definitely not Spider-Man.
Jack: He’s not a real superhero.
Hotch: He’s not? Okay.. I give up. Who are you supposed to be?
Jack: I’m you, Daddy.
