- Derek Morgan: You gonna tell me why you missed that flight to Galveston?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I already told you, there was no cell reception.
- Derek Morgan: [skeptically] Right.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What?
- Derek Morgan: Reid, any time you want to come up with a better answer, I'm standing right here.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I guess I needed to see if I could step away.
- Jason Gideon: And...?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I'll never miss another plane again.
- Jason Gideon: [Opening Quote] Robert Kennedy once said, "Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live."
- William LaMontagne Jr.: Now you're leaving! Now how will I survive with a woman like you living so far away?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Well, despite what you may have heard
- [hands her business card over to William]
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: cell phones can be very good for your health!
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: You gotta admit, these guys are making it pretty easy. I wouldn't follow a stranger into an alley no matter how wasted I was.
- William LaMontagne Jr.: Yeah, but you're not a man. Testosterone will follow a woman to Thailand. Barefoot. It's just a fact.
- Coroner: Four layers of fatty tissue sliced through like butter. I only seen that three other times.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You worked this case initially?
- Coroner: Yeah, you don't forget victims like this. It's like they were dissected.
- Emily Prentiss: I can still smell the alcohol on him.
- Coroner: This *is* New Orleans. Dead or alive, it's a smell you get used to.
- Ethan: So how are you?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I'm fine.
- Ethan: You're not fine. I'm a jazz musician in New Orleans. I know what it looks like when someone's not well. This may be the one time I can tell you something, you don't already know. You're surrounded by the best minds in the world. And if I notice...
- [Ethan shakes his hand]
- Ethan: Well... for a genius that's just dumb.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: You always drink while you're still on the clock?
- William LaMontagne Jr.: This is New Orleans, honey. It's a cultural thing.
- William LaMontagne Jr.: Why aren't you married?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: [giggles] Ah that involves the case how exactly?
- William LaMontagne Jr.: It doesn't, I'm just flirting! It's unprofessional; you don't have to answer that
- Aaron Hotchner: The offender we're looking for is friendly, agile, somewhere between 30 and 35.
- Jason Gideon: He'll lure with charm, and kill with rage.
- Emily Prentiss: We believe he's murdering men to reclaim his power. This unsub suffers from low self-esteem, but he probably covers it well. He dresses impeccably to feed the facade. Jack the Ripper himself was an impetuous lust murderer, whereas this offender is organized, calculating. He might even stalk his victims for days before the actual kill.
- Jason Gideon: We believe this killer identifies with Jack the Ripper because he's lost his own identity. Maybe through years of child abuse, or some catastrophic event.
- Aaron Hotchner: Because he overcompensates to hide his insecurities, we believe he may hold a position of authority at work.
- Emily Prentiss: And since we think he's had medical training, consider EMTs, doctors, veterinarians.
- Jason Gideon: Please be careful. To this unsub, the French Quarter's a hunting ground. He's certainly already proven he knows the terrain.
- [about to mutilate a man with a knife]
- Sarah Danlin: You never did explain those "things" you could do to me.
