JJ: Everyone is so much younger than I remember being.
Prentiss: It's a weird age. You want to be treated like an adult, but you're still used to someone else solving your problems for you.
JJ: All I remember is trying to figure out who I was.
Prentiss: You move around enough, you get used to being whoever people want you to be.
Erin Strauss: Give me your badge.
Hotchner: Ma'am?
Erin Strauss: You're suspended for two weeks without pay pending an investigation of your conduct. And, Agent Hotchner, if it was solely up to me? You would never get these credentials back.
Hotchner: Always a pleasure.
Prentiss: (about the unsub) I'll sleep when he confesses.
JJ: We all will.
Gideon: How long can you hold that lawyer off?
Hotchner: Are you kidding? I was a prosecutor; I can hold him off for days.
Morgan: (about the unsub's guilt) What do you think, Gideon?
Gideon: I think only a guilty man can lay his head down and sleep when he's facing three murder charges. It's physically exhausting - killing, secrets, evading the police. It's almost a relief when you don't have to hide any more.
Morgan: …I also know that Richard Jewell fit the profile of the Olympic Bomber to a "T"…
During the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, a security guard named Richard Jewell noticed a suspicious backpack in Centennial Olympic Park. Jewell notified authorities and helped evacuate the park, ultimately saving many lives. A bomb inside the backpack went off, killing one person and injuring over one hundred. A story appeared in a local paper the next day, identifying Jewell as a suspect in the investigation, and, for the next four months the FBI subjected Jewell to a botched investigation, and the national press made Jewell's life miserable. He was formally cleared of all charges in October, 1996, but the damage to his reputation had already been done.
Gideon: How long can you hold that lawyer off?
Hotchner: Are you kidding? I was a prosecutor; I can hold him off for days.
This exchange was included to pay homage to SSA Jim Clemente, who is a former prosecutor, and is the only former prosecutor in the BAU.
Reid: Could be more like a groupie. After Kenneth Bianchi was arrested, he actually convinced a woman he hardly knew to attempt a murder…
Kenneth Bianchi and his cousin, Angelo Buono, were the team of killers known as The Hillside Strangler. The two were sexual predators who killed at least 10 women in the Los Angeles area in late 1977 to early 1978, often exposing their dead bodies on the hillsides around town. After being convicted, Bianchi began corresponding with Veronica Crompton, who he convinced to commit a "copycat" crime resembling Bianchi's previous crimes in order to prove to the authorities that the real killer was still at large. Crompton failed, and she was convicted and imprisoned herself.
