Quotes 

• Kevin Lynch : Agent Rossi? We need to talk, about Penelope, man to man

  David Rossi : Man to man

  [both walk away] 

  Derek Morgan : What about Penelope?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't know

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : [singing]  Garcia and Kevin sitting in a tree...

  [turns around and walks away] 

  Derek Morgan : Get out of here! Are you serious?

  [joins JJ] 

  Emily Prentiss : Just when I thought nothing scandalous was every gonna happen around here

  Dr. Spencer Reid : What? What does that mean?

  Emily Prentiss : Didn't you hear JJ?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : That song meant something? No! No I missed it

  Emily Prentiss : It... it... You know what, never mind

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [looks around bewildered]  What?

• Derek Morgan : I can't believe people actually pay good money to play these fixed games

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Men

  Derek Morgan : Excuse me?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : It's not people, it's men

  Derek Morgan : Is that a fact?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Only a man would waste $50 trying to win back that $3 stuffed animal

• David Rossi : This isn't even a BAU case

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Maybe not yet, but I can make anything a BAU case, if I want to. It's about paperwork and I know the paperwork

• David Rossi : I was here on a serial rapist in '88. It was pretty short work. The guy wasn't gonna win any IQ contests. The day after we, uh, collared him, a local detective was driving me to the airport, and, um, he hears a call on his walkie of kids screaming in a house not far from where we were. He asks if I mind taking the job in with him. We were first on the scene. Inside we found...

  Derek Morgan : [placing the case file on the table]  Found this.

  David Rossi : The ax had been left behind, but it had been wiped clean. It turns out it belonged to the family. The, uh, oldest daughter, Connie, told me her father bought it on Christmas Eve a few months earlier, to cut down the Christmas tree. Now I, uh, always associate the whole thing with Christmas. Never been able to put a tree up myself again.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : So he... he never hurt the kids at all?

  David Rossi : Not physically.

  Derek Morgan : But he would have known that the kids were in the house.

  David Rossi : He only hurt the parents and then left.

  Emily Prentiss : Okay, so using a weapon he found at the scene and not eliminating all of the potential witnesses, that makes him disorganized.

  Derek Morgan : But he left no evidence, which suggests he's organized.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : There was a fingerprint.

  David Rossi : But it was behind the bedroom door. I don't even think he knew it was there. There should have been prints in other places, but they were wiped clean. An open back door, a... a drinking glass left in the kitchen. And that one good print... was not a match anywhere. I've been over this a million times. I... I keep thinking if there was just one more piece, one more thing to go on. The answer was right in front of me.

  Emily Prentiss : He might be dead.

  David Rossi : I have to be sure.

  Derek Morgan : Rossi, if he's dead, you may never really know.

  David Rossi : When we arrived on the scene... before any of the other units got there, I could hear them... before I even got out of the car. It was a warm morning and the, um, the windows were open in the upstairs bedroom. And their voices... floated out into the street. They were crying and calling for their mommy and daddy. Three terrified children screaming for their murdered parents. I've seen so much death and pain, but that sound... it's been twenty years and I can still hear them screaming every night... crying. If I can't tell them for sure that whoever's responsible will never do it again... that screaming might never stop.

• Penelope Garcia : [Rushes into JJ's office]  I might be in big trouble

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Come on in

  [keeps on reading her papers] 

  Penelope Garcia : I can't believe he showed up at my apartment

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : It's not like I am doing anything in here

  Penelope Garcia : We just had a seminar on fraternization last week, but

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : I really have a lot of work to do, Garcia

  Penelope Garcia : So you don't want to hear how agent Rossi showed up at my door in the middle of the night while I was enjoying post-coital shower with fellow FBI technical analyst Kevin Lynch?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : [closes file, turns chair]  Sit. So you were in the shower with Kevin Lynch?

  Penelope Garcia : Come on JJ, I am being serious I need your help

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : With what?

  Penelope Garcia : Agent Rossi! We're not supposed to date fellow bureau employees

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : From what I hear, Rossi is the reason most of these fraternization rules even exist, okay? He's not going tell anyone. Just relax. Wait, what was Rossi doing in your apartment?

  Penelope Garcia : That's a good... I am not supposed to tell anyone

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Why?

  Penelope Garcia : I didn't press the issue. I was all naked and all drippy

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Doesn't showering with someone always seem like a better idea before you're actually doing it?

  Penelope Garcia : [laughs]  Yes, it's a bit of a workout

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : And there comes a point where a girl just got to wash her hair alone, you know

• Emily Prentiss : You're buyin', I'm drinkin'.

  Derek Morgan : I don't think any of us could afford this place otherwise.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Yeah, I know I can't.

  David Rossi : Go home.

  Emily Prentiss : We thought you might need some help.

  David Rossi : You're wrong.

  Derek Morgan : Come on, now, Rossi. Bounce some theories off us. Fresh eyes can't hurt.

  David Rossi : This isn't even a BAU case.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Maybe not yet, but I can make anything a BAU case if I want to. It's about paperwork, and I know the paperwork.
