- Dr. Spencer Reid: What do you think of Ryan?
- Aaron Hotchner: He hasn't changed much.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I think we can learn a lot from him.
- Aaron Hotchner: What could you possibly learn that you don't already know?
- Elle Greenaway: You know he has no one, no family.
- Aaron Hotchner: Who's that?
- Elle Greenaway: Ryan. I mean, technically he's retired, but he hasn't seen his kids in years.
- Aaron Hotchner: Divorce is not uncommon in the BAU.
- Elle Greenaway: You know, the other night when you called - Saturday night - did you think it was weird that we all just... were able to drop everything and go to the office, that we're all available to you anytime you call, day or night?
- Aaron Hotchner: No, not really.
- Elle Greenaway: How do you do it? How do you do this job and still have... a wife and a baby?
- Aaron Hotchner: Well, when I'm with them, I try to focus a hundred percent of my attention there. And when I'm with you guys, I try to do the same thing. I mean, it's about priorities, Elle. It's about setting them and keeping them.
- Elle Greenaway: I'm just so scared I'm gonna turn into that guy over there. Look up and see that my life has passed me by while I was chasing monsters.
- Aaron Hotchner: It's hard. This job will eat you up if you let it.
- Elle Greenaway: So what do I do?
- Aaron Hotchner: Find a way not to let it.
- Derek Morgan: Well, that's gotta be a first: a killer actually leading us to another killer.
- Jason Gideon: Oh, come on. We all know they make the best profilers. They admire each other's work.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Guys, we are about to meet Max Ryan, the guy responsible for catching the Boise Child Killer. Have you ever talked to him before?
- Aaron Hotchner: He's pretty intense. Brusque, not much of a bedside manner.
- Elle Greenaway: Sound like anyone else we know?
- Derek Morgan: I heard he was forced into early retirement.
- Aaron Hotchner: No, he chose to retire.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: He's written a new book on the Keystone Killer case.
- Aaron Hotchner: He moved to Philadelphia to be closer to the crime scenes.
- Elle Greenaway: That's retirement?
- Derek Morgan: BAU style.
- Max Ryan: [reading a letter from the Keystone Killer] "Isn't Scott Harbin an inelegant creature? A monster. There is no light with him. No balance. He is pure evil. Balance is what gives one mercy. You'll be reminded of my brand of mercy tomorrow, Max."
- Derek Morgan: What does that mean?
- Jason Gideon: Scott Harbin's a predator, just not the one we're looking for.
- Max Ryan: Is there anything worse than cop shop coffee?
- Jason Gideon: Day-old cop shop donuts.
- Max Ryan: You know, at home I actually have to make the coffee bad now to enjoy it.
- Jason Gideon: Yeah, I've had what you make. Are you saying you did that to me on purpose?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What do you think of Ryan?
- Aaron Hotchner: He hasn't changed much.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I think we can learn a lot from him.
- Aaron Hotchner: What could you possibly learn that you don't already know?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Hotch, repetitive thinking is the death nail for the brain. For complete brain usage, diverse stimulation is the key.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: He strangled 7 women in the 1980's, stopped for 18 years and began again, suffocating. 10% of all violent crime are caused by strangulation. It only takes 11 pounds of pressure to fully incapacitate your victim and if you hang on for at least 50 seconds they will never recover
- Derek Morgan: I need a list, sweetness.
- Penelope Garcia: Aw, sugar, you're in luck. Lists are my specialty. Go.
- Derek Morgan: All, right. Philadelphia, 1988. I need all car accidents resulting in injuries.
- Penelope Garcia: Wow, there's a lot of them. I guess friends let friends drive drunk back then. Okay, I got injuries - thirty-six in a twelve month period.
- Derek Morgan: How many were American-made cars?
- Penelope Garcia: Almost all of them. Except only five were serious enough to send the drivers to the hospital. Let's hear it for Americian-made safety.
- Elle Greenaway: [last lines] Abraham Lincoln once said, "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years."
- Jason Gideon: Norman Maclean wrote "It is those we live with and love, and should know, who elude us."
- Max Ryan: Did Jason ever tell you about the time that he found the Director's itinerary in a bomber's car?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What? What?
- Jason Gideon: Max, come on.
- Derek Morgan: No, no, he never said anything.
- Max Ryan: Well, let me fill you in, then. We had this bomber case; it was one of Jason's first. So we had him go over and search the bomber's car, which was in the Quantico garage. Except for me and the guys had planted this piece of paper that had all these times and locations of where the FBI Director was gonna be over the next forty-eight hours. Anyway, Jason takes one look at this piece of paper, and before we could stop him, he takes off, runs up twenty-five flights of stairs to the Director's office, barges in.
- Derek Morgan: [laughing] Get out of here!
- Max Ryan: Interrupting a meeting with the Attorney General himself.
- Derek Morgan: [slapping Gideon's knee] Yeah!
- Jason Gideon: The Director didn't find it very funny.
- Max Ryan: He was the only one who didn't.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Guys, I have a name!
- Elle Greenaway: [tries to read what Reid has circled] Nibrahs... that's a name? From which country?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: It's backwards
- Jason Gideon: You look comfortable up there. Why don't you come back to the BAU for a guest lecture?
- Jason Gideon: I am retired, remember?
- Max Ryan: Hell of way to relax: 323 pages on the one that got away
- Max Ryan: He hasn't gotten away and you didn't count that 8 page prologue
- Max Ryan: [reading a note] "In order for the light to shine so brightly, darkness must be present"
- Jason Gideon: It's quoting Sir Francis Bacon now
- Max Ryan: I used this specific quote...
- Dr. Spencer Reid: In your book on page 184. I, eh, read it on the plane
- Max Ryan: And you remembered the page number on that quote?
- Derek Morgan: Don't ask!
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Accidents? In America someone is involved in a car accident once every 10 seconds!
