“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

Sameen Shaw

I’ve been shot. A lot.

Root

Truth is a vast thing.

Root

[to her doctor] The truth is that you fantasize on online forums about having sex with some of your patients. But not me, yet. I guess I'm not your type.

There are always a few who take issue with what we do, but these days, people know, you can't fight the technology. And let's be honest, those crying the loudest about privacy are probably the ones trying to hide something.

John Reese

Want to go to a party?

Sameen Shaw

Only if you wear something pretty.

Harold Finch

Have you learned anything?

John Reese

Just that Kruger's got a lot of friends, appears to be happily married, and Shaw likes truffled quail eggs.

Sameen Shaw

You can't expect me to shoot somebody on an empty stomach.

John Reese

You doubt [Shaw's] ability to be discreet?

Harold Finch

I doubt her ability to keep from shooting someone.

Shaw

Our guy just went from blue blood to hipster faster than you can say 'ironic facial hair'.

Finch

I don't understand anything you just said.

Root

So, you see, sadly, I need to be moving on.

Okay. So, um, you're going to escape? Hmm. And how do you plan on doing that?

Root

First the phone on your desk will ring. She'll be letting me know it's time. Then I'll punch you in the carotid artery. It'll hurt, Ronald, but it won't kill you. Then I'll take your car keys.

And the guards, how how will you manage them?

Root

I won't have to. They'll be incapacitated from the desflurane in the ventilation system. It vaporizes at 75 degrees. Which the building climate control has been programmed to reach ten minutes ago.

Okay, this voice that you hear, she is she's gonna do all this?

Root

Of course not. She sees everything, but there's very little she can do about it herself. That's where I come in. She tells me what to do and I do it. Well, she did help me a little with stealing the desflurane from the automatic dispensing system. Don't worry. I closed the vents in your office two days ago. It should have cleared out by now. Do you hear how quiet it is out there? Must be almost time. Are you as excited about this as I am?

John Reese

You framed your own wife for murder. You deceived me to kill your own husband. I'm in the business of stopping bad things from happening. I'm not so sure what's about to happen is a bad thing.

John Reese

What's a former prosecutor planning to do with a kilogram of cocaine?

Sameen Shaw

Something illegal?

Joss Carter

I'm playing by different rules now.

John Reese

You're not gonna believe this, Finch. Shaw just got made by a ten-year-old.

John Reese

Armies fall... one soldier at a time.

[to Shaw] It's not that you don't have feelings. It's just like the volume is turned way down, like the sound of an old tape. The voices are there, you just have to listen.
