Quotes 

• Alex Blake : [opening quote]  "Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet" - Vietnamese proverb

• David Rossi : Hey? You're sure you're okay?

  Alex Blake : Oh yeah! It's nothing.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : A couple of inches to your right and he could have hit your brachial artery. All things considered you were extraordinarily lucky.

  Alex Blake : Yeah, luck had nothing to do with it, I'm practically bullet proof.

  David Rossi : Yeah, I heard that about you.

• Aaron Hotchner : Everything alright?

  Alex Blake : Ehm, yeah, sorry, just, I'm distracted.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Perfectly understandable. Familiar sounds, visual cues, even olfactory inputs can trigger memories and emotions we thought were long gone; happens to me every time I go home too.

  Aaron Hotchner : When was the last time you were back?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It's been like 422 days.

  Aaron Hotchner : I was talking to Blake.

  Alex Blake : Ah, it's been about five years.

  Aaron Hotchner : It's a long time.

  Alex Blake : Yeah, once I got out of Kansas City I pretty much wanted to stay out.

• Alex Blake : [closing quote]  "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much" - Helen Keller

• Detective Scott Miller : Hello?

  Damon Miller : You're late.

  Alex Blake : Like... what... five minutes.

  Damon Miller : You're still late.

  Detective Scott Miller : Hey Pop.

  Damon Miller : How's the melon?

  Detective Scott Miller : It's all right. It's fine.

  Damon Miller : Uh, you two made up, didn't you? Yeah, I figured... been doing that since you were kids. Fight like cats and dogs, then forget about it 10 minutes later. Used to drive your mother crazy. Then she'd drive me crazy.

  Detective Scott Miller : Hey, Pop, you know she got shot?

  Alex Blake : Oh, that's great.

  Detective Scott Miller : Well...

  Damon Miller : Yeah, I heard.

  Alex Blake : You heard?

  Penelope Garcia : Mr. Miller? We need more ice.

  Damon Miller : Help yourself.

  Penelope Garcia : Hey, what's up?... You must be Scott. I'm Penelope.

  Detective Scott Miller : Hi.

  Alex Blake : What are you doing here?

  Damon Miller : I invited them.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. It's only a two-and-a-half-hour flight. When I hear Kansas City barbecue, I come a runnin', for the sides and the fixings. I'm a vegetarian.

  Alex Blake : What do you mean, them?

  [comes out to the garden] 

  Alex Blake : Oh, you're all here. My words are colliding.

  Aaron Hotchner : And your dad promised ribs.

  Derek Morgan : And your pops is no joke on this grill.

  Damon Miller : Can't celebrate unless the whole family's here.

  Alex Blake : I can't argue with that.

• Detective Scott Miller : And I don't know why you made me so mad.

  Alex Blake : Because I'm your sister. It's normal for siblings to resent each other.

  Detective Scott Miller : Okay, what is that? What, is that your profile of me? Resent?... Look, I don't resent you, Alex. I miss you.

  Alex Blake : You sure have a funny way of showing it.

  Detective Scott Miller : ...You know, after Danny died, you just left. And then with mom, it's like you just stopped coming around altogether. It's like here you are, my big sister, and you just bailed.

  Alex Blake : I couldn't stay here, Scott.

  Detective Scott Miller : I know. You know what? Trust me, I get it, I figured it out. But the funny thing is, here you are this hotshot linguist... and you can never say anything. You never call, you never write... nothing.

• Ronald James Underwood : He should have stopped it.

  Alex Blake : We know why you're doing this, Ronald. What happened to Riley wasn't your fault.

  Ronald James Underwood : ...Nobody stopped it... Nobody did anything.

  Alex Blake : You did.

  Ronald James Underwood : You're damn right. And they got what they deserved.

  Alex Blake : But nobody else needs to die. You've got to leave the past in the past.

• Alex Blake : Look at his posture... He's too agitated... There is something odd about his syntax I can't... that I can't explain.

  Detective Scott Miller : And why is that? Because that profile's too complicated for me?

  Alex Blake : Really?... Really?... Right now?... Please, Scott, for once, just go with me here.
