Special Agent Derek Morgan : Reid, you know this is not your responsibility?
Dr. Spencer Reid : It is. I can't explain.
Special Agent Derek Morgan : Well try me.
Dr. Spencer Reid : He knows I understand him.
Special Agent Derek Morgan : Of course you do. You're a profiler.
Dr. Spencer Reid : It's more than that.
Special Agent Derek Morgan : How?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I know what it's like to be afraid of your own mind.
-
Jason Gideon : Paramedics say he wouldn't have made it without you. You saved his life.
Dr. Spencer Reid : He wanted me to let him die.
Jason Gideon : He's sick. He needed saving.
Dr. Spencer Reid : And how many people's lives did I risk in the future?
Jason Gideon : Profiles can be wrong.
Dr. Spencer Reid : What if it's not? What if next time he kills somebody?
Jason Gideon : Then you catch him.

Dr. Spencer Reid : What's up with Hotch today?
Special Agent Derek Morgan : [chuckles] I don't know. Maybe he tied that knot in his tie a little too tight again.

Dr. Spencer Reid : [voiceover] T.S. Eliot wrote "Between the desire and the spasm, between the potency and the existence, between the essence and the descent, falls the shadow. This is the way the world ends."

Jason Gideon : What's going on?
Dr. Spencer Reid : DC may have a serial killer and I just let him get away!
-
Penelope Garcia : Come on. You and me. We're hitting the town.
Dr. Spencer Reid : No offense, Garcia, but I'm not really feeling like I'd make the, uh, best company right now.
Penelope Garcia : Oh, no! Up! Up! Do not make me hurt you!
[Reid sighs and gives in]
Penelope Garcia : There you go, there you go.
-
Dr. Spencer Reid : Who we are is... it's constantly evolving. I'm a lot older than you, and I'm changing all the time. You know, this job changes me. You've changed me. You sought me out to try to understand how *not* to harm people. It's a far more important part of who you are than the one that scares you.

Penelope Garcia : You know, he might have killed two women. It's not your job to hold his hand through this.
Dr. Spencer Reid : [shakes his head] It's like with my mom. I used to think that if I could just understand absolutely everything there is to know about schizophrenia, then I'd somehow be able to fix it.
Penelope Garcia : You can't. I'm sorry.
Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner : Hey, guys, I need everybody in the conference room. If Nathan Harris isn't our unsub, we need a working profile.
[Garcia kisses two fingers and plants them on Reid's forehead]

Nathan Harris : Dr. Reid?
Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah?
Nathan Harris : I know I, um, don't deserve any favors, but... whatever my psych eval says, you promise you'll tell me the truth?
[Reid nods]
Nathan Harris : Um, my mom says a promise doesn't count unless you say it out loud.
Dr. Spencer Reid : [smiles] I promise.
