- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: You alright?
- Derek Morgan: Yeah.
- Emily Prentiss: [shouts] No! Are you out of your mind? You blew out my eardrum!
- Derek Morgan: What did you want me to do? He was coming right at us.
- Emily Prentiss: I told you I had him!
- Derek Morgan: He was shooting at us, Emily.
- Emily Prentiss: Well, you could've given me a heads up!
- Derek Morgan: What, a loaded MP5 and a shooting lunatic wasn't enough? Come on.
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Be careful with those. I don't need broken MP-5s on our budget.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Hey, guys, here's the thing. I don't think I technically have authorization to carry a weapon like that.
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner, Derek Morgan: You don't.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Contrary to popular belief, decapitation is not that easy.
- David Rossi: Hmm. You don't often hear "popular" and "decapitation" in the same sentence.
- Emily Prentiss: [voiceover] A lion's work hours are only when he's hungry. Once he's satisfied, the predator and prey live peacefully together. -Chuck Jones.
- Sheriff Ruiz: [after seeing how quickly Garcia completes a search] If you're looking for a gift to get me, one of her would be greatly appreciated.
- David Rossi: We're pretty sure they broke the mold.
- Emily Prentiss: [Derek just floored a suspect] Nice!
- Derek Morgan: I played a little strong safety in college
- Emily Prentiss: No idea what that means
- Emily Prentiss: Hey, where's Hotch?
- Jennifer Jareau: Budget meeting
- Derek Morgan: Well, maybe he'll get us a raise
- David Rossi: They're cutting, not raising. I just hope they don't take the coffee
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Then I quit
- David Rossi: Oh, yeah. That'll save them like 50 bucks a week
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: [voiceover] Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not obtained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. -Helen Keller.
- Derek Morgan: [getting in Unsub's house trailer] Oh, God. We're definitely in the right place. Guys, just breathe through your nose like normal.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Smell is the weakest sense. In a few more minutes, you won't even notice it.
- Emily Prentiss: What about the taste?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I think that's in our head.
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Try not to shoot that inside the car
- David Rossi: You mean: try not to deafen you?
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Exactly
- Sheriff Ruiz: Every job has a patron saint. Cops have Saint Jude, doctors have Raphael the Archangel. But if you're a drug dealer or a killer, who do you pray to?
- Jennifer Jareau: The saint of death.
- Sheriff Ruiz: I've learned that crossing the desert to get here, you lose track of the ways you can die. So if someone close doesn't make it, sometimes it's easier to blame a superstitious figure.
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Well, Omar doesn't seem like he believes what he's saying.
- Sheriff Ruiz: I didn't say he believes it. I said it's who people are blaming.
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: What people?
- Sheriff Ruiz: Look, Santa Muerte has been coming up more and more. The illegals I send back, the coyotes I arrest. Some of the drug traffickers, they're afraid.
- Jennifer Jareau: Afraid of a saint?
- Sheriff Ruiz: I handled a homicide once where my only witness was this four year old girl. And she told me her mom and dad got killed by a dragon. Turns out the bad guy wore a green rain suit with a pointy hood. To the kid, it looked like a dragon. So when hundreds of people are talking about the same monster, it's a sure bet something's going on. They just don't know what to call it.
- Emily Prentiss: So, what we have is a hundreds of miles of unincorporated desert and an endless supply of anonymous victims crossing the border every day
- Derek Morgan: It's a serial killer's perfect storm
- Sheriff Ruiz: No one will make an official report, but I believe somebody around here has been killing for a long time. Want a laugh? I left Brooklyn North homicide to slow down, I picked the wrong part of the country to semi-retire!
- Sheriff Ruiz: [noticing Boyd had a limp] I didn't know you had a bad leg.
- Deputy Ronald Boyd: [revealing himself to be the UnSub] You didn't know anything about me.
- Sheriff Ruiz: Excuse me?
- Deputy Ronald Boyd: You just came from New York and took over. Sticking your nose in things that were going just fine.
- Sheriff Ruiz: You're talking about the missings?
- Deputy Ronald Boyd: [scoffs] "The missings." Now, how could someone be missing if they ain't supposed to be here in the first damn place?
