Criminal Minds

Reid: People tell me their secrets all the time. I think it's because they know I don't have anyone to betray them to. Except my mother. I tell her pretty much everything.

Diana Reid: You know I'm terrified of flying.
Reid: I know, mom, I'm sorry.
Diana Reid: Then why did you have those fascists arrest me?
Reid: Mom, they're not fascists and you were not arrested. I'm trying to protect you.
Diana Reid: By forcing me to do the one thing that frightens me more than anything else?

Randall Garner: If you want the grail, you must ask the question.
Reid: She's not a grail. She's your daughter. Her name's Rebecca.
Randall Garner: My daughters died in a fire and my son and my wife.
Reid: Rebecca lived.
Randall Garner: No. Your mother, she explained it all to me.
Reid: My mother is a paranoid schizophrenic who'd forget to eat if she wasn't properly medicated and supervised.
Randall Garner: She made me realize none of it was real. I didn't lose Rebecca. She... she never existed in the first place.

Reid: Mom, we found her. Rebecca's safe. You helped us save her life.
Diana Reid: Is it time for lunch yet?
Reid: What?
Diana Reid: I'm giving a lecture to everyone on Tristan and Isolde. They're all gathering in my room after lunch.
Reid: Can I attend the lecture too?
Diana Reid: Have you read any of the material?
Reid: I've had them read to me.
Diana Reid: Wonderful. That's the best way, isn't it?
Reid: Yes, ma'am, by far.

Randall Garner: Ask the question, I'll be healed and you may take the grail. Just ask the question, Sir Knight.
Reid: I can't.
Randall Garner: Heal me.
Reid: Mr. Garner, a fisher king wound cannot be healed by somebody else. It's... it's not a wound of the body. It's a wound of the memory, a wound of the mind. It's... it's a wound that only you can find, and a wound that only you can heal.
Randall Garner: Just ask the question.
Reid: There's only one question that matters, Mr. Garner. There's only one really important question. Can you forgive yourself?

Hotchner: What the hell was that?
Reid: He had a bomb.
Morgan: You didn't think we needed to know that?
Reid: I told you to go downstairs.
Morgan: Well, you didn't say "bomb." You left that part out.

Hotchner: (discussing the unsub) He's delusional. He thinks he's a mythological king.
Gideon: But delusion and this level of organization are almost mutually exclusive.

Reid: It's never night in Las Vegas.
Garcia: Excuse me?

Reid: (discussing a Chaucer poem) Fowles! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Chaucer! My... my mom use to read me that. It's widely considered as the first valentine's poem
Garcia: Your mom read you valentine's poems? Hello, therapy.

Reid: "It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone." Rose Kennedy
