Only in your dreams, Garcia.

Hey, hey, behave. Focus your little twisted mind for me, okay? I need police records from the Fifth Ward. Small thefts and burglaries. Can you do that?

Aren't you at that very station, right now?

Yeah, but it's a small precinct and these guys are stretched. Trust me.

Got it.

Oh, and Garcia, see if you can find before and after pictures of demolitions in the area. Maybe we can nail down a building where the unsubmay have worked or lived in.

How far back?

A week. And Garcia? I'd better not ever find any Photoshop pictures of me.

We have a sign-in sheet but we don't force anyone to sign if they don't want to. Some who do don't even use their real names. Elvis eats here a lot.

The first recorded war was 2700 BC. Probably earlier wars, but writing hadn't been invented yet.

Almost five thousand years of killing each other.

One thing human beings have been consistently good at.

"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." Thomas Paine

Robert Kennedy once said, "Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live."

How could their friends not see anything?

It's like when the lion preys upon antelope.

You lost me.

Well, that's because you, Emily Prentiss, have never been one of the antelope.

Oh, scratch that. You totally lost me.

Okay, check this out. The antelope travel in packs; so the lion just sits and waits. Waits for just one of the antelope to break away from its herd. So when he's alone, vulnerable, and completely unprotected, that's when the lioness strikes, that's when she makes her move.

Wait a minute, her move?

Prentiss, there's only one thing that's gonna make a straight man leave his friends on guys' night out, and it'll make him leave every time.

Are you gonna tell me why you missed that flight to Galveston?

I already told you, there was no cell reception.

Right.

What?

Reid, any time you want to come up with a better answer, I'm standing right here.

[to Reid] I have been playing at this job, in one way or another, for almost 30 years. I've felt lost; I've felt great. I have felt scared... sick... insane. I don't know... I guess the day this job stops gnawing at your soul and... hands, your hands stop feeling cold, maybe that's the time to leave.

Statistically, 94% of all serial arsonists are male, 75% are white and few, if any, are ever caught.

Few? You don't have a percentage?

Remind me never to play poker with you guys.

I catch killers, I save lives, I'm a hero until my key hits my front door and then I'm just the father and the husband who's never there.

Here's the thing. When I'm home, I'm in this silent panic. Because I know that I have to be as good as I can as fast as I can. Because any minute, the phone is going to ring and my time is up. And that panic is exactly what I saw in Abby.

Gandhi said, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." [NOTE: This quote is often disputed as to whether or not Gandhi said it. There are other forms of the quotation, including: The aphorism "Study as if you were to live forever. Live as if you were to die tomorrow" is variously attributed to Isidore of Seville and a similar quote by by Johann Gottfried Herder: "Man, enjoy your life as if you were to depart tomorrow; spare your life as if you were to linger here forever."]
