Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : How are you doing?

  Derek Morgan : Well, I gave out all my flyers.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : How many phone numbers did you get?

  Derek Morgan : None. I'm working a case here, kid.

  [Reid gives him a look] 

  Derek Morgan : Okay, four were offered, but I didn't take any of them.

  [Reid gives him another look] 

  Derek Morgan : All right, look, let me school you a little bit. What you have to do with these ladies, just take control of the conversation. When you're talking what makes you feel like an expert?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Uh, statistics.

  Derek Morgan : No, trust me. No. Something else.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Well, when I do magic.

  Derek Morgan : See, that's perfect. Chicks dig magic.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : I gave the profile to one woman and she asked if *I* was the unsub.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : I think I might just... stay home and, uh, man the tipline tonight. Clubs aren't really my thing.

  Derek Morgan : Not a chance, kid; I need a wingman. Come on.

  David Rossi : Actually, there is another angle we need to pursue.

  Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : We still don't know what made the unsub change his victimology. What made him stop killing prostitutes and move into the clubs.

  David Rossi : The answer might be something in Viper's class. But to figure that out we need to profile the teacher.

  Derek Morgan : You need to bait him, then, with somebody he sees as a challenge.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : We need to study his style up close and personal. It's gonna take someone he's already attracted to.

  Emily Prentiss : Ugh. Ugh, this is really gonna suck.

• Austin : [of the unsub]  So what do I do if I see him?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : You should call us. Even if you just think you see him, you should definitely call us.

  Austin : And if I don't see him?

  [Reid looks confused] 

  Austin : Can I still call you?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [nods, obviously surprised]  Yeah! Yeah, you can call me!

  Austin : Okay, cool.

  [Reid turns to leave] 

  Austin : Wait! I don't have your number.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Oh, um, it's behind your barrette.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : One classic routine the Viper promotes is called the "push-pull." He'll insert himself between two women and, immediately after complimenting one, he'll deliver a subtle insult and then pay attention to the other.

  [to Jordan] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Those are... they're really nice earrings. I like those.

  Jordan Todd : [flattered and embarrassed]  Thanks.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : My grandmother wears a lot of fake jewelry also. Looks nice.

  [the others laugh] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Ignoring the one woman puts her in direct competition with her friend and causes the other to pursue you more aggressively.

  [to Jordan] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I was just demonstrating, sorry.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : What is a pickup? It's basically just a profile.

  Derek Morgan : Decoding cues of interest and recoding similar ones.

  Emily Prentiss : If you're too obvious you turn off your target. If you're oblivious, your target moves on to a better profiler.
