Thomas Gibson: Aaron Hotchner

Quotes 

• Jennifer Jareau : You know what? This is my favorite part. This is where you hang yourself with your own tongue, so, please keep talking.

  Malcolm Ford : What are you doing here? You got a baby at home being raised by a man you're not married to. What are you doing here?

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, it's work, but we make it work. Where's Cindi?

  Malcolm Ford : Work. I know all about work. Negotiating who does the dishes, fighting over who folds the laundry. Except Cindi and I never fight. She knows her role.

  Emily Prentiss : After you beat her into signing a contract.

  Malcolm Ford : What we have is a bond you know nothing about, but I'll tell you about it... if you ask permission.

  Emily Prentiss : Come on.

  Malcolm Ford : [to JJ]  You're curious, aren't you? You want to know our secret.

  [Prentiss and JJ leave the room] 

  Jennifer Jareau : Please let me go back in there.

  Aaron Hotchner : No.

  Jennifer Jareau : His guard is down. He thinks he can manipulate me.

  Aaron Hotchner : We can't give him what he wants. We need to keep him off balance.

• Derek Morgan : I'm telling you, that's not the woman I know. She wouldn't do that.

  David Rossi : Then, what is it, Derek? Why would she behave this way?

  Derek Morgan : She said she needed to cook dinner for him.

  [holding a can of ravioli] 

  Derek Morgan : Is that what you cook for your husband? Would you make that for Will?

  Jennifer Jareau : No. I might for Henry, though.

  Derek Morgan : Exactly. When I was growing up, this is what Cindi and I ate. This exact brand. Hotch, what did your mom make you for breakfast?

  Aaron Hotchner : Oatmeal and orange juice.

  Derek Morgan : What do you make for Jack?

  Aaron Hotchner : Oatmeal and orange juice.

  Derek Morgan : Same brand?

  Aaron Hotchner : Uh-huh.

  Derek Morgan : She might have been cooking dinner, but it was not for Malcolm Ford.

  Emily Prentiss : You think they have a child?

  Derek Morgan : Yes, I do.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : We didn't profile that. There's no evidence of one in the home or in their lives.

  Jennifer Jareau : Unless Ford keeps the child from her to keep her in line. I mean, that fits the profile.

  David Rossi : It's a stretch.

  Derek Morgan : It's the only theory that would explain her behavior.

  Aaron Hotchner : All right, Morgan. Prove it.

• Derek Morgan : I need to come clean about something. I lied about someone being dead.

  Aaron Hotchner : I'm sorry?

  Derek Morgan : Last year, that fisherman unsub that was dumping the bodies in the Atlantic, he claimed that my cousin was one of his victims.

  Aaron Hotchner : Falsely. You deduced he'd never met her.

  Derek Morgan : I told my family it was him. Cindi had been missing for eight years, and my aunt needed closure. And even though I kept looking, I lied, Hotch. I lied because I wanted my family to move on, but now there's evidence she's alive.

  [Hotch doesn't say anything] 

  Derek Morgan : You still there?

  Aaron Hotchner : We're on our way.
