Emily Prentiss : It never ceases to amaze me how dark obsession can get.
David Rossi : And with a pop star? I mean, I was obsessed with the Rat Pack, but I wouldn't have killed for Frank or Dean.
Aaron Hotchner : No, you just drank whiskey and smoked cigars.
David Rossi : Oh, and this coming from the man whose favorite record is the Beatles' 'White Album'.
Aaron Hotchner : Just because Manson hijacked it doesn't have to ruin it for the rest of us.
Dr. Spencer Reid : That's why I stick to Beethoven. There's no chance of guilt by association.
Emily Prentiss : Well, yeah? Have you ever seen a movie called "A Clockwork Orange"?
Dr. Spencer Reid : [shaking his head] Mm-mmm.
[the rest of the team snickers with laughter]

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : [JJ and Reid are on the phone with Garcia. Reid is working at a glass evidence board. JJ sists in a chair] Penelope?
Penelope Garcia : Are we in yet?
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : All yours.
Penelope Garcia : [sighs] I always feel skeevy going through someone's life like this.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Okay, so everything looks like it's password protected so you might not even be able to... you're in already, aren't you?
Penelope Garcia : Password was "Cullen."
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Of course.
Dr. Spencer Reid : [looks over] "*Colon?*"

Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't know. I never really feel ready, you know?

Dr. Spencer Reid : What's a BFF?
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : [sighs] Best friend forever.

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : So, they've already set up a task force in Los Angeles
David Rossi : This isn't their first serial case
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : You remember detective Owen Kim?

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Yeah, you remember that case, don't you Spence?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I do remember that case
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Yeah, ever talked to, uhm, Lila anymore?

Derek Morgan : All right, so tell us about blood drinkers, Reid
Dr. Spencer Reid : Human blood consumption, or clinical vampirism, is known as Renfield's syndrome. Named after the, eh, insect eating character in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula
Emily Prentiss : Are they sadists?
Dr. Spencer Reid : Not necessarily. Pain to the victim is usually only a byproduct, blood is the focus. Renfield's syndrome is usually accompanied by varying levels of schizophrenia and occasionally more classic cannibalism, if the condition evolves
David Rossi : Classic cannibalism! Lovely job we have
Dr. Spencer Reid : I will say this: true cases are exceedingly rare
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Uh, that's comforting. Sort of

Derek Morgan : Garcia, all these people drink blood?
Penelope Garcia : Au contraire. They mostly just dress up like Prentiss did in high school and they make believe. It's all kinds of delicious
Dr. Spencer Reid : It's not the same thing at all. As a matter of fact, I... I... we should refer to this unsub as vampirist, not a vampire. And they would be attracted to the subculture merely for it's professed worship of blood
