Bug Hall: Ben Foster

Quotes 

• Ben Foster : The only way you can help me is if you kill me.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Ben, that's not true. Listen, the only way we can help you...

  [Reid's image shimmers, indicating that the next thing Ben hears is in his head and not actually Reid's own words] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : ... is if you take that knife, and you stab me in the neck with it.

  Ben Foster : Are you sure that'll work?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [In Ben's hallucination]  Oh, I'm absolutely sure, Ben.

  [as himself] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Put that knife down, okay?

  [In Ben's hallucination] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Take that knife, jam me in the neck with it, and all your problems will go away! Okay?

• Derek Morgan : Did this guy and Karen interact?

  Ben Foster : [in Paul's flashback]  I have a hypothetical for you.

  Paul Jones : He said something to her, but she blew him off.

  Derek Morgan : Just put her head down and said something dismissive back?

  Paul Jones : Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

  Derek Morgan : We tend to do that when strange people talk to us. Unfortunately, it can backfire.
