- Aaron Hotchner: Physics magic?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Yes, sir.
- Aaron Hotchner: Reid, we talked about this.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I'm sorry, sir.
- Aaron Hotchner: [smiling] You're really starting to get some distance on these things.
- Derek Morgan: Does he ever take you to his cabin?
- James: What?
- Derek Morgan: Fishing in Wisconsin? Camping? Two things you wished you had a real father for.
- James: Sometimes.
- Derek Morgan: Yeah, he's good like that.
- James: You know about the cabin?
- Derek Morgan: James, I told you I used to be you.
- James: What do you mean?
- Derek Morgan: The first you weren't even sure what was going on. He brushed up against you. You thought it might have just been an accident. But then at the cabin he let you sit and drink with him. You thought that was kinda cool. Made you feel grown. Gave you a glass of wine, maybe a little shot of something harder. And then he took you swimming, only he told you to jump in without your swimsuit on. He did things to you, James, didn't he? He did them to me, too. You do whatever you think you gotta do to keep him happy because he's the closest thing to a father you've got. But what he's doing to you is wrong and you don't have to let it continue, man.
- Derek Morgan: James, you are something, man. You're something right here, right now, without Carl Buford.
- James: Damien always said I should call you.
- Derek Morgan: What? Damien knew?
- James: I didn't think you'd believe me.
- Derek Morgan: James, I got your back forever.
- Carl Buford: Look at you. You'd probably be dead by now.
- Derek Morgan: Yeah, well, it wasn't for free, was it?
- Carl Buford: I pulled you out of the gutter.
- Derek Morgan: I pulled myself out of the gutter! All the way to the FBI! I DID THAT!
- Carl Buford: You saying I had nothing to do with making you who you are?
- Derek Morgan: No, Carl. Actually, I'm saying you have everything to do with making me who I am. Because of you, I'm somebody who gets to spend the rest of his life making sure guys like you go down.
- Carl Buford: Look, Derek, I never hurt you. You could have said no.
- [Gordinski appears behind Buford, overhearing everything]
- Det. Stan Gordinski: You're under arrest, Carl.
- Derek Morgan: [voiceover] "All secrets are deep. All secrets become dark. That's in the nature of secrets." - Writer: Cory Doctorow.
- Derek Morgan: [Morgan has been arrested] You know, you better have a real good reason for doing that in front of my family. Are you gonna tell me the charges now?
- Det. Stan Gordinski: Oh, I bet if you think real hard, you'll be able to figure it out, Derek. Uncuff him.
- Derek Morgan: "Agent Morgan".
- Det. Stan Gordinski: You'll always just be "Derek" to me.
- Derek Morgan: And you'll always be a racist son of a bitch to me.
- Det. Stan Gordinski: Did you get some sleep?
- Derek Morgan: You know I didn't.
- Det. Stan Gordinski: Slept like a baby myself. Didn't even want to get out of bed.
- Derek Morgan: Really? So that wasn't your donut-eating ass on the other side of that glass all night, then, huh?
- Det. Dennison: [entering with a case file] Here you go. You want the other ones?
- Det. Stan Gordinski: No, just this one right now.
- [Dennison leaves, and Morgan laughs to himself]
- Derek Morgan: Come on, man. You gotta be kidding me, right? Pretend you went home and slept. Put an empty box with my name on it on a table right in front of me? The FBI invented this stuff, you simple bastard. We *teach* it.
- Jason Gideon: [about Det. Gordinksi suspecting Morgan is a serial killer] We're dealing with a desperate detective here. Three dead boys, no evidence at all. So he applies a profile directly to someone he already suspected. It's easy to get tunnel vision that way.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: One begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of instead of theories to suit facts. It's one of Sherlock Holmes' favorite quotes.
- Jennifer Jareau: [JJ, Garcia and Reid look at a black film capsule on Reid's desk] Nothing is happening
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [high pitch voice] Sst! Watch!
- Penelope Garcia: [capsule lifts off] Ah!
- Emily Prentiss: [walks in and gets hit by capsule] Oh! Au! What?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I am so sorry, I am
- Emily Prentiss: What was that?
- Penelope Garcia: Don't you recognize a rocket when you see one?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I was merely demonstrating a physics law, I... I didn't mean to...
- Emily Prentiss: Oh, show me!
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Alright, eh, turn around please!
- Emily Prentiss: Turn around?
- Jennifer Jareau: Yeah, he's not going to show you how it's done
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Magician doesn't reveal its secrets
- Emily Prentiss: I thought you said it was physics!
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Physics magic!
- Penelope Garcia: Trust me: it will do not any good to argue with him
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [Prepares the rocket] Alright, alright, turn back and observe
- Jennifer Jareau, Penelope Garcia, Emily Prentiss: Oh!
- Aaron Hotchner: [Picks rocket up which landed just before his feet] Physics magic?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Yes sir!
- Aaron Hotchner: Reid, we talked about this.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I am sorry sir!
- Aaron Hotchner: [Smiles] Well you really start to get some distance on this!
- Emily Prentiss: So he does have a sense of humor?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Sometimes.
- Derek Morgan: [interrogating Derek] Damien Walter. D.O.A.
- [hands over crime scene photos to Derek]
- Derek Morgan: Oh no! Somebody killed him?
- Det. Stan Gordinski: Not somebody
- Derek Morgan: You think I did this?
- Det. Stan Gordinski: Agent Gideon, right?
- Jason Gideon: Yes
- Det. Stan Gordinski: I owe you a big thank you! I had no suspects at all until you looked over my case for me and sent me this profile. Everything in it points to that son of bitch, Derek Morgan
- [hands over profile]
- Jason Gideon: [browses through dossier] I profiled him?
- Det. Stan Gordinski: It's all right there
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Detective, a profile is just a guide
- Det. Stan Gordinski: This one guided me to him
- Emily Prentiss: They're really more useful in the elimination of suspects rather than the inclusion
- Det. Stan Gordinski: That's not the way you presented it to me
- Jason Gideon: If I confused you, I'm sorry
- Det. Stan Gordinski: Ah, I'm not confused at all
- Jason Gideon: Look, whatever it is in here that made you consider agent Morgan a suspect, has to be coincidence. You cannot rely solely on this
- Det. Stan Gordinski: You're right, I'm not
