Quotes 

• [Before leaving with Alex, Erin has brief eye contact with David] 

  Erin Strauss : So I'll see everyone on the jet tomorrow

  [turns and walks away] 

  Jennifer Jareau : Could you be any more obvious?

  David Rossi : I think I preferred you before you were a profiler.

• David Rossi : Ecstasy is frequently used as a date rape drug, but I've never seen it cause bleeding like this.

  Erin Strauss : Could it be a bad batch?

  Penelope Garcia : Well, according to the M.E., the victims had so much MDMA in their systems that it caused their internal body temperature to go out of control. They boiled from the inside out.

• Thane Parks : Look, I think I'd like my phone call now.

  Erin Strauss : You could do that, sure.

  David Rossi : Or, we could play a little game called "Let's Make a Deal."

  Liz Leonte : I don't want to make any deals without my lawyer.

  Alex Blake : Yeah, this one you do. See, this is what somebody did to your boss.

  David Rossi : You see, Thane, whoever it is that's out there, he managed to get to Jim Peters outside of his apartment.

  Jennifer Jareau : The person who did that isn't very happy right now, and he is waiting, just waiting to get his hands on someone else connected to your club's operation. And you know what we're gonna do?

  Erin Strauss : We're gonna let you go.

  Thane Parks : You're what?

  David Rossi : What makes you think that if he was able to get to the big boss, he'd have any trouble getting his hands on you?

  Alex Blake : So, like I said, we're gonna let you walk right out of here...

  Liz Leonte : All right. I'll tell you what you want to know. Just...

  Thane Parks : You have to protect me.

• Aaron Hotchner : How does a guy who has everything going for him make one self-destructive choice after another, and then when it seems like he's gonna get his act together, it all falls apart again?

  David Rossi : Were you two ever close?

  Aaron Hotchner : He was in first grade when I was sent off to boarding school. I was the screw-up making bad choices, but at a certain point, I realized I could either continue to do that or I could get my act together, but this doesn't seem to occur to Sean.

  David Rossi : I know he didn't show up for Haley's funeral.

  Aaron Hotchner : Right. And at that point, I decided I couldn't make him a priority anymore. I was done.

• David Rossi : You're coming, aren't you?

  Erin Strauss : Just as a precaution. This team tends to go rogue when loved ones are involved.

• David Rossi : Ecstasy isn't exactly an appetizer.
