As a good friend of mine said, "Every ending is also a beginning. We just don't know it at the time." I'd like to believe she's right.

Morgan

Reid, are you good with this? We've got a woman who's only got a few hours left to live, an incomplete profile and a Unit Chief on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Gideon

[Gideon comes in from behind him] They don't call them nervous breakdowns anymore.

Reid

It's called a "Major Depressive Episode."

Morgan

I know, Reid.

Gideon

"Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

Reid

Samuel Beckett.

Morgan

"Try not. Do or do not."

Reid

Yoda.

Garcia

You've reached Penelope Garcia in the FBI's Office of Supreme Genius.

Morgan

Hey it's Morgan. Need you to work me some magic here. I got a program called Deadbolt Defense and a girl with only a couple hours to live. So what do you know?

Garcia

Then you got a problem. Deadbolt's the number one password crack resistant software out there. You're going to have to get inside this guy's head to get the password.

Morgan

I thought I was calling the Office of Supreme Genius.

Garcia

Well, gorgeous, you've been rerouted to the Office of Too Friggin' Bad.

Morgan

Alright, I'm an insomniac who listens to Metallica to go to sleep at night. What song could possibly speak to me?

Reid

Enter Sandman.

Garcia

Okay, you know how on Star Trek when Captain Kirk asked McCoy to do something totally impossible and McCoy says, "Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker!"?

Morgan

Hey, what are you telling me? Not to expect a miracle?

Garcia

No, I'm saying I'm not a doctor.

Morgan

[laughs] That's my girl.
