Quotes
-
David Rossi : Go back to when she gave it to you. Go there right now.
Roslyn Jareau : [flashback] I want you to have it.
Young Jennifer Jareau : But you love this necklace. Are you sure?
Roslyn Jareau : I'm sure. Because no matter what happens, I'll always love you, JJ. And besides, this necklace will help ward off the Tall Man.
Young Jennifer Jareau : That's a stupid made-up story.
Roslyn Jareau : The story's made up, but some monsters are real. And if a real monster ever sees you wearing this, he'll know not to mess with Jennifer Jareau, 'cause she's a total badass.
Young Jennifer Jareau : You think I'm a badass?
Roslyn Jareau : I think you're the baddest of asses. And that came out wrong.
-
Roslyn Jareau : What are you doing?
Young Jennifer Jareau : Nothing.
Roslyn Jareau : Don't say "nothing". My necklace is missing. You stole it again, didn't you? How many times do I have to say stay out of my room?
[JJ hands the necklace back]
Roslyn Jareau : Why do you even like this so much?
Young Jennifer Jareau : Because it's yours.
Roslyn Jareau : [putting it around JJ's neck] Then I want you to have it.
Young Jennifer Jareau : Really?
Roslyn Jareau : Yeah.
Young Jennifer Jareau : Are you sure?
Roslyn Jareau : I'm sure. Because no matter what happens, I'll always love you, JJ.

David Rossi : Did she ever let on that she was hurting?
Jennifer Jareau : Yeah. It got really bad right before she was gone.
Young Jennifer Jareau : [flashback] It's dinnertime, mom says.
Roslyn Jareau : JJ, not now.
Young Jennifer Jareau : You have to come eat because you haven't eaten in three days.
Roslyn Jareau : [throwing her necklace at her] Get out!
Young Jennifer Jareau : Why are you like this? Is it Tom?
Roslyn Jareau : No. I broke up with Tom months ago. Will you just go away, please?
Jennifer Jareau : [return to present] No, that's not right. Weeks earlier, she and my father were fighting.
[flashback to Roslyn and Mr. Jareau's argument]
Jennifer Jareau : If she had already broken up with Tom, who was she talking about?
David Rossi : The unsub. He recognized a girl in pain, parents divorcing, vulnerable, so he took advantage of that.
Jennifer Jareau : She was already in such a bad place. And now she's heartbroken. She thought there was only one way out.
David Rossi : But there's that nagging question, isn't there?
Jennifer Jareau : [fingering her necklace] Why did you give this to me, Roz?
