- Dr. Spencer Reid: [closing quotation, voiceover] Oscar Wilde said "I can resist anything, except temptation."
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [opening, voiceover] Barbara Grizzuti Harrison once said, "All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination."
- David Rossi: Anything?
- Derek Morgan: Well, these women practically lived online. Their posts went up 5, 6 times an hour
- Derek Morgan: [Reads a post] "Brian used his own toilet for the first time today"
- Alex Blake: Ah, cut her some slack, she's excited her son is potty trained!
- David Rossi: Brian is her Cocker Spaniel!
- Detective Paul Boseman: According to neighbors, somebody noticed an open window early this morning and alerted authorities.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Nothing violates one's sense of security more than being attacked in their own home.
- Jennifer Jareau: Okay, it takes a lot of strength to rip out someone's tongue. It's one of the strongest muscles in the body.
- Aaron Hotchner: The M.E. is still trying to determine whether it was done ante or postmortem.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: According to Chinese mythology, one of the most dreadful punishments in the 18 levels of hell involves having one's tongue ripped out. It's considered to be one of the most horrific forms of torture.
- Alex Blake: It's also symbolic, used to punish liars and anti-regime activists.
- Aaron Hotchner: Reid, I just finished the case file. I talked to Morgan and JJ and I wanted to talk to you about what happened.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The hostage was clear and I made a tactical decision to tell the UnSub the truth about his condition.
- Aaron Hotchner: And what did you think that would accomplish?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Well, Hotch, I thought the last time I was in a situation like this, I did exactly what I was supposed to. I told a perfect lie and that didn't work, so this time, in the hopes of saving someone's life, I tried something different.
- Aaron Hotchner: And this didn't work.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Sadly, no.
- Aaron Hotchner: To me, this is very clearly about Maeve.
- David Rossi: Well, that's new, isn't it?
- M.E. Marvi Hatcher: She was the only one with this type of bruising. I'm still doing tissue samples. All three women had copious amounts of blood in both their lungs and their stomachs.
- David Rossi: They were still alive when their tongues were cut out.
- Coffee Shop Staff: Medium latte, light foam, extra soy.
- Penelope Garcia: That's you.
- Sam: Good memory.
- Penelope Garcia: Listen, we should catch up.
- Sam: We should.
- Penelope Garcia: Perfect.
- Sam: Nice to meet you, Kenneth.
- Kevin Lynch: Kevin.
- [Sam walks away]
- Kevin Lynch: Did you know that soy milk contains high levels of phytoestrogen, which mimics the functions of estrogen inside humans? I'm just saying he's gonna have moobs.
- Penelope Garcia: What are moobs?
- Kevin Lynch: Man boobs.
- Jennifer Jareau: Peter, I know he betrayed your trust. Just put the knife down and we can talk about this.
- Peter Harper: You don't know what it's like... the thoughts and the images that won't go away. This is my only option.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Peter, that's not true. Listen, I know exactly what it's like. Right now is the part where I'm supposed to lie to you, tell you that everything's gonna be okay and that we can somehow help you, but the fact of the matter is, Peter, I don't know if we can. There might not be any form of therapy that ever takes these urges away.
- Jennifer Jareau: Spence, what are you doing?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: But that doesn't mean you stop trying. Peter, no matter what happens, you have to keep trying. I know it's not what you want to hear, but at least it's the truth.
- Peter Harper: I appreciate your honesty.
- [cuts his throat]
- Peter Harper: Why did you stop? Come on, I want feedback.
- Mark Jackson: I'll have notes next week, Peter.
- Peter Harper: Oh, come on, Mark. Now is not the time to be shy.
- Mark Jackson: I'd rather not.
- Peter Harper: What is it you'd like to say? Speak and be heard. So, please continue.
- Mark Jackson: Is something wrong?
- Peter Harper: You plagiarized my work. That's what's wrong. For three months I confided in you. I told you everything.
- Mark Jackson: Listen to me.
- Peter Harper: You told me that if I wrote about my fantasies, they would go away. Instead, you just took them from me.
- Mark Jackson: I said that it would help suppress...
- Peter Harper: No. No. All you really wanted was to take what was in my head for yourself.
- Mark Jackson: Excuse me? Let's get one thing straight. You are weak. What I did, you could never do yourself.
- Peter Harper: Was she going to be next?
- Mark Jackson: Who?
- Peter Harper: Tammy. Was she next? Answer me. I can't let you have her. That one's special. She was gonna meet with me, you know.
- Mark Jackson: Peter...
- Peter Harper: She makes me feel normal. We have a real connection. And now you want to take her away from me?
- Mark Jackson: You should be honored that I chose your stories. I did everything that you described, down to the smallest detail.
- Peter Harper: I see. And that's where you're wrong.
- Mark Jackson: What are you talking about?
- Peter Harper: There's one detail you got wrong. I never cared about the tongue. That was you.
- Tammy: Who are you? What am I doing here?
- Peter Harper: God, you're even more beautiful up close.
- Tammy: Don't touch me. Who are you?
- Peter Harper: It's me, Peter.
- Tammy: Oh, my God. Why are you doing this?
- Peter Harper: I need your help with something I've been struggling with for a while now.
- Tammy: What is it?
- Peter Harper: I need you to convince me not to kill you.
- Penelope Garcia: Oh, Laurel! She had a blog that make "Fifty Shades of Grey" read like a children's book!
- Kevin Lynch: It's just... well, I never knew you were taking ukulele lessons
- Penelope Garcia: Yeah, it's number 32 on my "I don't want to call it a bucket list"-bucket list
- Mark Jackson: Let her go, John.
- John Butler: Who the hell are you? Get off me.
- Mark Jackson: You got two choices. You can leave or I can beat the hell out of you right now.
- John Butler: Okay, okay! You know what? You're not worth it. You want her so bad, you can have her.
- Mark Jackson: Walk away, John.
- Nicole Francis: Thank you.
- Mark Jackson: You all right?
- Nicole Francis: I'm fine. I just want to go home.
- Mark Jackson: You shouldn't have to put up with that.
- Nicole Francis: He's not normally like this. He just... had too much to drink.
- Mark Jackson: It's nice to finally meet you, Nicole.
- Nicole Francis: How do you know my name? What are you doing? Stop it!
- Derek Morgan: Any witnesses?
- Penelope Garcia: Yeah, sort of. Nicole was last seen at the restaurant with her boyfriend, John Butler. They had some sort of icky spat
- David Rossi: Then he's on the short list!
- Penelope Garcia: No, he isn't. He actually has a solid alibi, uh... liquid. He was drinking at the bar all night
