• Penelope Garcia : Okay, out with it. Where's your head at presently?

  Derek Morgan : Honestly, I'm trying to figure out why I'm not back at that police station trying to break this son of a bitch.

  Penelope Garcia : Ohhhh...

  Derek Morgan : What are you doing? What was that for?

  Penelope Garcia : For thinking that this is about you.

  Derek Morgan : Penelope, it IS about me. He called me out by name!

  Penelope Garcia : [shouts]  Ohhh !

  Derek Morgan : Will you stop doing that?

  Penelope Garcia : What? Seriously? Derek, seriously, in... You know, in the entire time I have known you, you are like the glistening hero in the movie of life, and now, just because some guy, some ass-hat guy decides to call you out by name, you... you think you have the right to get all weird and decide "this time it's personal?" Really? Derek, did you ever stop to think that said ass-hat is exhibiting this behavior just to get under your skin?

  Derek Morgan : As a matter of fact, I have.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay, you know, well, a real hero would roll with that instead of tripping over his gigantic ego. And as a wise black man once told me, "Baby girl, you be trippin';" so, I tell you what, why don't you call me back once you've gotten off the self-absorption train and decide to be a real hero - the kind that Cindi is waiting for? I am hanging up on you!

• Derek Morgan : [voiceover]  "Worse than telling a lie is spending your whole life staying true to a lie." - Robert Brault

• 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.

• Derek Morgan : [on the phone]  Hey.

  Penelope Garcia : Hey. Um... I... I sent you the case file Chicago PD sent me.

  Derek Morgan : I got 'em.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. So there's that. Bad, huh?

  Derek Morgan : [soft laugh]  Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty bad. Penelope, can you just talk to me?

  Penelope Garcia : Uh-huh. Yeah, what about?

  Derek Morgan : I don't care. Just... just talk.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay, uhm...

  [nervous laugh] 

  Penelope Garcia : uhm...

  Derek Morgan : What?

  Penelope Garcia : I... I, j'ah, this is the first time in my life I don't have anything to say, except that I'm... I'm here for you. Okay, Derek, I'm right here.

  Derek Morgan : Yeah, I know you are.

• [the BAU team believes Cindi is suffering an extreme form of Stockholm syndrome] 

  Yvonne Burns : Like that girl from the '70s, Hearst.

  Derek Morgan : Patty Hearst. That's right.

  Yvonne Burns : So is Cindi gonna start robbing banks now?

  Derek Morgan : No. He's done something a lot worse.
