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 Ted even went on their bodacious adventures so really they should have just called it Bill and Ted's Excellent Rip-off. At least then they would've made-

Prentiss: I knew you were watching me.
Doyle: What's the expression? Keep your friends close, your enemies under surveillance.
Prentiss: I've been here for two hours. You should know better than to keep a lady waiting.
Doyle: Seems hypocritical, seeing as I had to wait seven years.
Prentiss: Hello, Ian.
Doyle: Hello, Lauren. Oh wait, Lauren Reynolds died in a car accident, didn't she?
Prentiss: What do you want?
Doyle: You. Oh, not today, don't worry about that. But soon.
Prentiss: I've got a Glock leveled at your crotch. What's to stop me from taking you and the little ones out, right now?
Doyle: You'd never make it back to your car, and you know it. Tell me, does the lovely Penelope know the truth about you? Or is she too busy watching movies with Derek to care? Here you are, all alone, while Aaron sits at home with his son. And why didn't Dave and Ashley invite you to their game night? Maybe they thought you'd be on the Metro with Dr. Reid. (laughs) Well, that one does have some quirks.
Prentiss: Come near my team, and I will end you.
Doyle: I don't have a quarrel with them. How long that remains the case, depends entirely on you. They're innocent, you're not.
Prentiss: I was doing my job.

Reid: Yeah a few, but none of them have been able to figure it out.
Prentiss: Oh, I'm sorry. Does anyone know?
Reid: You.
Prentiss: I won't tell anyone.

Garcia: [In a message to Emily via phone] Hotch told me to try all your numbers and I have this as an old listing, and you probably don't even use it anymore, but if it is you and you're out there: come home, please. God, Emily, what did you think? That we would just let you walk out of our lives? I am so furious at you right now! [Emily starts crying] Then I think about how scared you must be, hiding in some dark place all alone. But you're not alone, okay? You are not alone. We are in that dark place with you, we are waving flashlights and calling your name. So, if you can see us, come home. But if you can't then...then... you stay alive. Because we're coming.
