“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

Peter

Olivia? Are you okay? What is it?

Olivia

You know what Barrett said? He said that he looked in her eyes and he knew that it wasn't her.

Peter

Olivia...

Olivia

I understand the facts. I know that she had reams of information about me; about my life and about people who were close to me. And I understand if she slipped up, that she would have a completely reasonable explanation for it. And I guess to expect you to have seen past that, is perhaps asking a little bit too much. But when I was over there, I thought about you. And you were just a figment of my imagination...but I held on to you. And it wasn't reasonable, and it wasn't logical, but I did it. So, why didn't you? She wasn’t me. How could you not see that? Now she’s everywhere. She’s in my house, my job, my bed, and I don’t want to wear my clothes anymore, and I don’t want to live in my apartment, and I don’t want to be with you. She’s taken everything.

Peter

[quietly] I'm sorry.

Peter

I just want to try to explain the book.

Olivia

You don't have to.

Peter

She asked me what my favorite book was. I understand that she probably wanted to just gather information about me, but I also know that I am not the easiest guy get to know. It was always easier for me to keep people in arms length. That's actually something that we both have in common. Book wasn't meant for her. It was meant for Olivia Dunham that I spent the last couple of my years with. Because I wanted you to read it. You're the person I wanted to share it with.

Olivia

You know, I feel like Rip Van Winkle. Everything is different. Even you opening up to me is different. And this book is just a reminder of all the things that I have missed, conversations we didn't have...

The Observer

When the time comes, give him the keys and save the girl.

The Observer

It must be very difficult.

Peter

What?

The Observer

Being a father.

Walter

Every time the Observer shows up, it has something to do with you. And every time; something bad.

Olivia

So why is this book your favorite book?

Peter

Because it talks about not depending on other people for answers. You can only find the answers inside yourself. Which given our current situation, it's kinda of amusing, if you think about it.

Peter

I know you want to help me, but I don't think you can this time. You can't protect me from everything.

Walter

I think I know what's happening to you. Every relationship is reciprocal, Peter. When you touch something, it touches you. It changes you. When you touched the machine, it changed you, weaponized you.

Peter

So what do we do now, Walter?

Walter

I don't know.

Walter

...It's a blocked Eustachian tube, and it's a perfectly natural reaction. Any flavor will do, although I'm rather partial to grape.

Walter

It's song lyric. Fauxlivia ruined U2 for all of us.

Nina Sharp

Fauxlivia?

Peter

That's what Walter's calling her now. Fauxlivia; as in fake Olivia.

Olivia

It's bigger than I imagined.

Peter

I suppose, it's just big enough to destroy a couple universes.

I'm not your problem. Peter Bishop is.

The tall one thinks you're hot.

No one should know exactly what else someone is thinking.

Olivia

Probably not, but I wouldn't mind having that ability right about now.

Peter

Olivia, I wanted you to know that I noticed the differences. But I thought it was because of me, because of us. I thought that I was bringing out a different side in you. But it was never because I wanted to be with her more, because I don't.
