Reid: I need to stop by a bookstore and get a copy of Empty Planet. I want to reread it before we talk to the author. I haven't read it since I was six.
Morgan: Six? I was still riding my Big Wheel at six years old.
Reid: Do you mind? It will only take ten minutes.
Gideon: To buy it or read it?
Reid: Uh...both, actually. (edit) Garcia: Je suis toujours ici pour toi, mon cher.
Morgan: Drives me crazy when you talk that "voulez coucher" stuff to me.
(edit) Dr. Cooke: A cognitive scientist at MIT once said, "Coincidences seem to be the source for some of our greatest irrationalities." (edit) Gideon: Robespierre wrote, "Crime butchers innocence to secure a prize, and innocence struggles with all its might against the attempts of crime." (edit) JJ: (while playing gin) It's fun beating a genius.
Reid: Genius Doctor Reid let you win. (edit)

When Garcia is conducting a search for Morgan on her computer, the search highlighted "anti-technology" before Morgan even told her to look for it. (edit) Morgan was once with the Bomb Squad, which was revealed in the episode "Won't Get Fooled Again." (edit) Reid read the sci-fi book Empty Planet when he was six years old. (edit)

Kenneth Roberts' use of the novel Empty Planet as a guide for his rampage may have been based on Timothy McVeigh, the mass murderer who planned a series of terrorist acts inspired by the novel The Turner Diaries. (edit) Garcia: Je suis toujours ici pour toi, mon cher.
Morgan: Drives me crazy when you talk that "voulez coucher" stuff to me.

This allusion could refer to Gomez speaking to Morticia in the Addams Family series. (edit) The bomber demanding to have his manifesto published in a newspaper is very similar to what the Unabomber did. Ted Kaczynski sent his manifesto to several major newspapers and said he would stop the bombings if it was published. The publication also led to his capture; his brother Michael recognized Kaczynski's style of writing and contacted the FBI. (edit)
