All S1

S1 E9Derailed

Gideon, will you tell him that I don't need to go to the hospital?

Regulations are regulations. You're all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, 'dad.'

Elle?

Yeah?

Don't ever call me 'dad' again. [walks away]

[to Reid] How do you think he'd feel about 'mom?'

Let me know when you're going to do that, so I can run.

Albert Einstein asked, "The question that sometimes drives me hazy: Am I or the others crazy?"

S1 E10The Popular Kids

[Reid is pouring piles of sugar into his coffee]

Easy there, tough guy. Have some coffee with your sugar.

I need something to wake me up.

Ooh, late night?

Very.

My man!

Not that kind of late night.

[laughs] Okay, so tell me, what does keep young Dr. Reid awake at night? Wait, let me guess. Memorizing some obscure textbook? No, no, no. Working on cold fusion? No, I got it, I got it, I got it. Watching Star Trek and laughing at the physics mistakes.

Actually, there aren't that many scientific errors in Star Trek. Especially considering how long ago it was made. There are certain improbabilities, but not that many outright errors.

Right.

Sir Peter Ustinov said, "Unfortunately, a superabundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares."

Candle wax?

Candles are used in rituals.

They're also used on birthday cakes.

We all have bad dreams. Everyone on the plane, who wouldn't? We hunt the worst of humanity, we see the depths of depravity, we dream of monsters.

In my dream, there's a baby, in the middle of a circle, and there's someone on the other side, and I can't get to her before I...

Every night I look at Debra, helps me. Helps me go to sleep thinking of the victims we save. Don't always beat the monsters to the babies, but we do enough to make the job worth it. Keep the nightmares bearable.

S1 E11Blood Hungry

What happened to you?

[entering the room on crutches] I got a list of things I want to try before it's too late.

[sarcastically] And orthopedic surgery's one of them?

No, skydiving. Apparently it's all about the landing.

[to Garcia, hurriedly] Give me the book. The big one, right there.

OK. [muttering under her breath] Get the book, please, Penelope. Here you are. Thank you.

Harriet Beecher Stowe once said, "The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone."

S1 E12What Fresh Hell?

[thinking Gideon sent her a bouquet of flowers] Thank you for the flowers. [reading from the card] "I know I can be challenging, but your work is appreciated. J. Gideon." I appreciate the appreciation. And, BTW, you're not challenging. Well, no, you're totally challenging, but you're not challenging at all in a bad way, Sir.

The poet W. H. Auden wrote, "Evil is always unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed, and eats at our table."

Penelope Garcia's house of "How May I Save Your Ass Today?"

Well, you can give me the sex offender registry for Wilmington, Delaware.

Oh, that's always a fun group. Um, Morgan, did you hear that Agent Gideon sent me flowers?

No kidding?

Jealous?

Sex offenders, Garcia!
