A.J. Cook: Jennifer Jareau

Quotes 

• Emily Prentiss : [Prentiss has bid on a house for sale]  I can't believe I'm doing it. I mean, it's probably not gonna work out anyway, right? There are five other sealed bids, and I offered way below what the owners are asking.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Uh huh. Sounds to me like someone's hoping they don't get it.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Orthophobia: fear of owning personal property.

  Emily Prentiss : No, I don't have a fear of owning stuff. Turn me loose in a shoe store, I'll prove that. My fear is personal property that weighs three hundred tons.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Actually, depending on materials used, square footage, and horizontal versus vertical construction, the average house only weighs about sixty tons.

  Emily Prentiss : [sarcastically]  Well, thanks for that, Reid. I feel light as a bird already.

• Derek Morgan : What do we got, baby girl?

  Penelope Garcia : Thank you, sir. We have a killing in Enid, Oklahoma, and not the capital punishment one you are thinking of right now. I'm talking about a woman named Cara Smith, who was murdered in her apartment minutes after the execution of Rodney Garrett.

  Aaron Hotchner : A neighbor saw her front door open and discovered the body.

  David Rossi : Look familiar?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Young, pretty, short blonde hair.

  David Rossi : And stabbed directly through the heart.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : That's exactly the way Garrett killed his victims.

  Derek Morgan : So are we looking at a copycat?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Or someone creating doubt the right person was executed.

  David Rossi : In Garrett's case, there was no doubt. His guilt was the slam dunk of all slam dunks. Prints, DNA, a confession.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He even led police to where he buried two of his victims.

  Emily Prentiss : Garrett killed twenty-five women before he was caught. If this new unsub is a copycat, body count's just started.

• Emily Prentiss : Hotch, I think I found her.

  Aaron Hotchner : You're on speaker, Prentiss.

  Emily Prentiss : The unsub must have circled back. He dumped her just outside the perimeter of the abduction site.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Same M.O.?

  Emily Prentiss : No, she's got stab wounds all over her torso. It's bad., and, Hotch, this time he removed her scalp.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Overkill. He must be enraged he wasn't able to carry the murder out as planned.

  David Rossi : So now we might have another problem. If our unsub's blueprint is out the window, this may transition him into a spree killer.

• Emily Prentiss : There was definitely something a little strange about her.

  Aaron Hotchner : It's curious, one woman at the center of two serial killers.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Yeah, what are the odds of that?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Astronomical. By removing from the calculations serial killer groupies...

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Sorry I asked.

  Derek Morgan : You know, whether she knew it or not, maybe Helen Garrett did give Dylan something. I mean, someone once said that every seed, even malignant ones, they won't grow unless they get water from someplace.

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : [Investigating the latest victim]  Hey, Spence, look at this.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : What is it?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : I mean, this... this girl obviously cares about her a-appearance. I mean, she's fit and her nails are perfectly done, but look at her hair. It's uneven.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Could it maybe be a fashion statement? You know, bad on purpose?

• [the last words from executed serial killer Rod Garrett were quotes from "The Thousand and One Nights"] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : The book is all about how Scheherazade forestalled her own death at the hands of the king by regaling him night after night with stories.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : But in the end she won him over, right? The king found love and he decided not to execute her.

  David Rossi : Not a strategy likely to work with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
