Kirsten Vangsness: Penelope Garcia

Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : [the team reminisces about Strauss]  Do you guys remember that one time that she called me, but I thought that it was somebody else?

  [indicates Morgan] 

  Derek Morgan : Oh, no.

  Jennifer Jareau : That... that was funny.

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, maybe to you. I was mortified.

  Alex Blake : What did you say?

  Penelope Garcia : [laughing]  I said "Talk dirty to me."

  Derek Morgan : Yes, she did.

  Alex Blake : [open-mouthed surprise]  Are you kidding?

• Penelope Garcia : I am all over the DOJ names including support staff. I have Kevin pulling files and photos. System is down, so it's hard to track entire career paths, but there were two agents in New York in 2001. Scratch that, Lehman died in October, that leaves Curtis.

  Alex Blake : Wait a second. John Curtis?

  Penelope Garcia : You know him?

  Alex Blake : I haven't seen him in a long time. He was a nice guy. We were first office agents together, but I thought he left the Bureau after Amerithrax case.

  Aaron Hotchner : Could it be him? Does he fit the profile?

  Alex Blake : He was quiet and a loner, but brilliant. He specialized in a lot of fields, but his passion was biochemistry.

• Penelope Garcia : He inherited a family compound in rural Virginia. Coordinates are on your phone.

  Alex Blake : What else do you have on Curtis?

  Penelope Garcia : Just like you thought. John Curtis was demoted in the FBI after the Amerithrax case. He was slated to take over the coveted New York field office, but then was shipped to the not coveted Kansas City one. He worked there for many years quietly before he was able to weasel his way back into the nation's capital. On paper, he is a rock star. He immediately transferred to the Department of Justice, the Intelligence Oversight section. He's a genius on multiple levels.

  Aaron Hotchner : What's his background?

  Penelope Garcia : Only child, parents died when he was 18. Never married. Total loner, just like Blake said.

  Aaron Hotchner : And all he's ever had to care about is his work.

  Derek Morgan : And when he lost that, he snapped.
