A.J. Cook: Jennifer Jareau

Quotes 

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : [closing quote, voiceover]  Susan B. Anthony said "A woman must not depend on the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself."

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : [Reads sheet of paper, takes a deep breath, calls someone]  Hey, it's me! Got a minute? Yeah, fine, fine. Eh, we just really need to talk... I'm pregnant!

• Emily Prentiss : What was that?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Bureaucratic red tape. Every case we take, I have to explain why, in terms of cost and size relative to the BAU. They don't always think it's worth it.

  Emily Prentiss : They do have four agents doing the work that locals should.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Just because there isn't a dead body doesn't mean we shouldn't take the case.

  Emily Prentiss : Hey, I... the fact that law enforcement, including the FBI, can't help someone until they've been injured is appalling. All I'm saying is it is a drain on the system.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Emily. Last year in Denver, a woman was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend. Cops knew who we was, but they couldn't arrest him. We didn't take that case. She was finally granted a restraining order three days after he threw acid in her face. Right now, I don't... I don't care about limited resources. I cannot make that same mistake again.

• Keri Derzmond : Will you help me?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : I am presenting this case to the team this morning. I'll let you know what they decide

  Keri Derzmond : [Starts writing]  Lou Evans, Ed Derzmond and Ryan Scott

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Excuse me?

  Keri Derzmond : Those are the people who you will be calling when you find me dead
