- David Rossi: [opening quotation] "Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive." - Josephine Hart.
- David Rossi: JJ, Roberta isn't there to kill Lynch. She's there to die with him.
- Jennifer Jareau: [seeing Reid following the tac team] Spence, stop!
- David Rossi: Forget the unsub. What do you want?
- Jason Gideon: I want you to ask yourself that fundamental question that's been nagging at you this whole time.
- David Rossi: I already answered it.
- Jason Gideon: I'm the unsub. Why didn't I kill you when I had the chance?
- David Rossi: [flashing back to his struggle with Lynch] You kill me, you killed a federal agent, and that brings down...
- Jason Gideon: [imitating a buzzer] EHH! That's the wrong answer. You'd never been in that situation before. He had you on the ground, knife to your face. You resigned yourself to the thought of dying.
- Jason Gideon: You know why you lasted longer in this job than I ever did? You never really let the unsub get inside your head.
- David Rossi: Is that your way of saying you were better than me, Jason?
- Jason Gideon: You tell me. I'm inside your head.
- [pointing to a composite sketch of Lynch]
- Jason Gideon: I'm the unsub. What do I want?
- David Rossi: You know, I never liked your games.
- Jason Gideon: I know. Remember? You and me? My yin to your yang? We were like Martin and Lewis.
- Jason Gideon: Everett Lynch didn't kill you because he looked in your eyes and saw something, of his father.
- David Rossi: Sons kill their fathers, Jason.
- Jason Gideon: Sure, they do, but not typically if they still have issues to work out.
- David Rossi: Lynch's dad is dead. His name was Douglas Moore. He was an insurance man. Lynch's mother was trying to grift him and got careless and got pregnant. The guy drowned in a boating accident.
- Jason Gideon: Drowned, huh? Kind of like how Lynch would describe Grace drowning.
- David Rossi: Oh, look, the Moore story checked out.
- [a thought strikes him]
- David Rossi: Unless... Roberta lied to me. And if she lied to me, she probably lied to her son, and if he found out, he'd want to find his father, don't you think?
- [turning around, he sees Gideon is gone]
- Emily Prentiss: So, I wanted you to be the first to know that, uh, my name is on a short list of candidates being considered to fill the Director's chair.
- Jennifer Jareau: Emily, that's incredible. Oh, my... god. You're gonna be the next Director of the FBI.
- Emily Prentiss: That still remains a definite "maybe". But I do know that I want the job. But I would feel much better if my first directive as Director was to appoint you Unit Chief of the BAU.
- Jennifer Jareau: And I... I told you before, that really does mean a lot.
- Emily Prentiss: Enough to turn down being Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans field office?
- Jennifer Jareau: Um... I'm not sure.
- Emily Prentiss: Now I feel like I'm-I'm pressuring you into staying, and that's not what I...
- Jennifer Jareau: Oh, no, no, no, see, and I'm feeling like if I do go to New Orleans, you might not decide to make history as the first female head of the FBI.
- Emily Prentiss: Oh, no, it's... don't worry. If given the chance, I'm making history.
- Penelope Garcia: An opportunity has presented itself to me, and it is in the Silicon Valley. Global Strategem Development. They're a private research group that's expanding their strategem to include combating global environmental change.
- Luke Alvez: Wow. That-that sounds perfect for you. You get to do all the good work you do at the BAU without the gore.
- Penelope Garcia: Yeah, right. Wait... are you trying to get rid of me?
- Luke Alvez: No. I don't want anybody going anywhere.
- Penelope Garcia: Right, and I don't wanna go anywhere. I love... I mean, this is... this my home. Not this room, but, you know, the BAU is, and... come on. We're family.
- Luke Alvez: Yeah. We're family, and our relationship to each other is not bound by wherever we show up to go to work.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: If you have the opportunity to do something you love, Penelope, you should absolutely explore it.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: It's been a year since we first encountered Lynch
- David Rossi: Yeah, I'll probably forget my wedding anniversary, but I'll never forget that day
- Penelope Garcia: I have uncovered an alias linked to a wireless payment to a PI who was retained to conduct searches for men we know were associated in a... eh... naked way with Lynch's mother, Roberta
