Criminal Minds

Gideon: We all have bad dreams. Everyone on the plane. Who wouldn't? We hunt the worst of humanity we see the depths of depravity, we dream of monsters.
Reid: In my dream there's a baby in the middle of a circle and there's someone on the other side. And I can't get to her before...
Gideon: Every night I look at Deborah. Helps me...helps me to go to sleep thinking of the victims we've saved. We don't always beat the monsters to the babies, but we do enough to make the job worth it to keep the nightmares bearable.

Brandy: Do you think God is vengeful?
Gideon: I don't know.
Brandy: You don't think he punishes us?
Gideon: After Hurricane Katrina I read some essays by religious scholars. One writer said God was punishing America for its immorality; New Orleans was a wicked city, like Sodom and Gomorrah. Another one, a priest from New Orleans, he thought the hurricane was proof of God's love. Those levees didn't break until after the storm was over; if they'd broken sooner, thousands would have died. So... I guess the answer to your question depends on whether or not you think you have something to be punished for.

Sheriff Bridges: If there was a secret group, I'd probably know about it.
Reid: That's an inherent contradiction.

Reid: What happened?
Morgan: Him bringing us down here was way too much of a coincidence.
Reid: Well, I got that. But did you have to tackle us both?
Morgan: (shaking his head) You're welcome, Reid.

Reid: Melted wax?
JJ: Candle wax?
Reid: Candles are used in rituals.
Gideon: They're also used on birthday cakes.
Reid: Actually, they were originally used to protect the birthday celebrant from demons for the coming year. As a matter of fact, down to the fourth century, Christianity rejected the birthday celebration as a pagan ritual.
Sheriff Bridges: What kind of a doctor are you?

Morgan: (watching Reid dump lots of sugar into his coffee) Easy there, tough guy. Have some coffee with your sugar.
Reid: I need something to wake me up.
Morgan: Ooh, late night?
Reid: Very.
Morgan: My man!
Reid: Not that kind of late night.

Morgan: So tell me, what does keep young Dr. Reid awake at night? Wait, let me guess. Memorizing some obscure textbook? No, no, no. Working on cold fusion? No, I got it, I got it, I got it. Watching Star Trek and laughing at all the physics mistakes?
Reid: Actually, there aren't that many scientific errors in Star Trek. Especially considering how long ago it was made. There are certain improbabilities, but not that many outright errors.
Morgan: Right.
