Quotes 

• Derek Morgan : You've never been to New York?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : We've never had an unsub there.

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : [to Gideon]  I thought you were going to talk to Reid about taking some vacation time.

  Jason Gideon : What's vacation time?

• [closing quotes - 2] 

  Jason Gideon : Ghandi said, "Better to be violent if there's violence in our hearts than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence.

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : Ghandi also said, "I object to violence because when it appears to do good the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent."

• Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : So, you know there was a big hole in the profile you presented back there.

  Jason Gideon : Can you pass the moo shoo, please?

  Jennifer Jareau : Uh, what's the hole?

  Jason Gideon : I left out the possibility our unsub might be a cop.

• Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : [Garcia has found the connection between all the victims]  You're a genius.

  Penelope Garcia : You're just saying that 'cause it's true.

• Derek Morgan : [searching for a clue to indicate the unsub's next target]  You know, this is a lot of boxes. How are we supposed to narrow it down?

  Jason Gideon : Check and see if it ended in acquittal. If it didn't, toss it aside.

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : It has to be a capital case. He's escalating. The more brutal, the better.

  Elle Greenaway : Why not go by most recent?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Judging by his elaborate filing system, Doyle obviously has obsessive-compulsive disorder. People with OCD often finish tasks, and then go back to the beginning and start over.

  Derek Morgan : So he continually goes through the transcripts and the first one to trigger him becomes his next victim.

  Elle Greenaway : Here's one. This is a liquor store owner who was shot with his own gun.

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : Flip to when they present the defense. Did the defendant testify?

  Elle Greenaway : No.

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : Stick with the ones where the accused took the stand. This is personal. He hears their voices.

  Jason Gideon : Doyle's victims all claimed to be a type of victim themselves. The first two threw themselves on the mercy of the court, pleading alcohol and drug dependency. The priest said he was a victim, victim of recent hysteria.

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : Look for key phrases: victim, mercy, anything that signifies they thought their crime wasn't their fault.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I think I might have one, guys: Ted Elmore. He shot and killed both his parents after claiming self-defense for years of physical abuse.

  Jason Gideon : Doyle lost his own parents. Hearing someone get away with killing their own, that would haunt him.

• Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : If this guy's who we think he is, we're talking terror like New York hasn't seen since Son of Sam.

• Jason Gideon : If the victim was blindfolded first, the blood would have flowed over the blindfold. He puts it on after he kills them.

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : All three charged with a felony, all three found innocent.

  Elle Greenaway : And that didn't show up on your men's radar?

  Det. Nora Bennett : Acquittals? No. Why is it important?

  Jason Gideon : Because we have a new profile.

• Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : Ever crossed your mind?

  Jason Gideon : Taking the law into my own hands?

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : Not the law, justice.

  Jason Gideon : What's this about? The boys in Iowa?

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : It's just a question.

  Jason Gideon : I guess I think if I ever let my mind go there, then the unsubs would be getting into my head instead of me getting into theirs. That wouldn't be a good idea, now, would it?

• Penelope Garcia : Fount of All Knowledge. Check my flow.

  Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : I need you to check all the victims and see if any were ever charged with a crime.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay. You wanna time me, or should I just dazzle you off the clock?
