- Dr. Margaret Stein: You've been at the BAU for 14 years?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Fifteen.
- Dr. Margaret Stein: At a job that dominates your time and focus. Must take a lot out of you.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Sometimes, but I love it, though.
- Dr. Margaret Stein: But we all need healthy outlets, so what are yours?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Uh... well, I read, I, um...
- Dr. Margaret Stein: Who do you talk to?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I, um... you know, JJ, Rossi, Luke.
- Dr. Margaret Stein: Who do you talk to outside of work?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [thinking about it] Nobody.
- Dr. Margaret Stein: All right, time's almost up. Take today, don't think about work.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Don't think about work? What do you mean?
- Dr. Margaret Stein: Not even a little bit. I want you to have one normal conversation with one normal person, then come back and tell me about it.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Or I could come up with a plan about what I was gonna say, you know, before actually executing...
- Dr. Margaret Stein: Just do it.
- Kristy Simmons: Emily, there's someone at the door for you.
- Emily Prentiss: [standing and giving Kristy her wine glass] All right. Hold my beer. I got this.
- Kristy Simmons: How much has she...
- David Rossi: Two glasses, eight donuts.
- Emily Prentiss: [off-screen] Seven donuts!
- Emily Prentiss: Why are we doing any of this work? Don't you have so many kids at this point that the big ones raise the little ones, like on those reality shows?
- Matt Simmons: How many kids do you think we have?
- Emily Prentiss: [scoffing] I don't know. Fifteen?
- David Rossi: [seeing Matt trying to put a crib together] Oh, my.
- Matt Simmons: The holes don't line up.
- David Rossi: And the color really... announces itself.
- Matt Simmons: And don't start. I accidentally ordered red online. It's custom-made, there's absolutely no returns, so I'm pretending to love it.
- David Rossi: Can't you paint it anything else?
- Matt Simmons: I tried that. It's made out of some kind of, like, space-age polymer, and the paint won't even stick. Oh, man. This used to be my office, and now I'm working at the kitchen table. We're holding this together with Scotch tape and bubble gum.
- David Rossi: Looks like we've got our work cut out for us. Where's Prentiss?
- Emily Prentiss: [entering with a bottle of wine] Oh, I'm here. Ooh. But not to work. I put myself on refreshment duty.
- [seeing Rossi's look]
- Emily Prentiss: Oh, what? It's my Saturday, too. And donuts are an anytime food, if you've done pilates with your boyfriend, which I have.
- Kristy Simmons: All right, the kids are off to my mom's. How can I help?
- Emily Prentiss: No, you're off-duty. Also, the more you look at this crib, the more you might consider divorce.
- Kristy Simmons: Uh, yeah, I checked the color on the website. It's called "Daddy Issues Red."
- Matt Simmons: I made a mistake, okay?
- Penelope Garcia: [opening quotation] "The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend." - Chuck Palahniuk.
- Penelope Garcia: I sent the rest of the class home. Thank you guys for coming in. I know you have a day off.
- Jennifer Jareau: Well, Will totally has the sleepover covered, so I am happy to be here.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: Yeah, and as long as I make it to dinner with my dad, I'm good. I mean, we should be able to knock this out by the end of the day.
- Penelope Garcia: Oh. Now, should we bring in the rest of the team?
- [pointing at Luke]
- Penelope Garcia: Because we do have that holding us up.
- Luke Alvez: Do you remember, like, thirty seconds ago when you thanked us? Yeah. We were so young then.
- Penelope Garcia: Elizabeth Wise, uh, she lives alone, currently single.
- Jennifer Jareau: Has she gone to the police?
- Penelope Garcia: Many times, and they haven't been able to find who is doing it, let alone stop them.
- Luke Alvez: The violent content of the messages seems to be escalating. "You ruined the good thing we had", "You bang everyone else, but not me." Sounds to me like an incel.
- Penelope Garcia: Ugh. Icky online culture for the involuntarily celibate.
- Jennifer Jareau: Usually, they just stay behind the screen. They're too cowardly to have a personal confrontation.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: Yeah, these surveillance photos really raise the threat level. I mean, if he knows her routine this well, it's gotta be an ex-boyfriend.
- Penelope Garcia: [sliding a sheet of paper over] I've compiled that list. Tara, JJ, see what stands out.
- Jennifer Jareau: [slightly confused] Okay.
- Penelope Garcia: Alvez, you'll be going with me to Elizabeth's apartment. Now, she says no one's broken in but I'm not convinced, so let me get her keys so we can check it out. And now we will...
- [standing]
- Penelope Garcia: Wheels up.
- Luke Alvez: We're not going anywhere.
- Penelope Garcia: [indicating her mouth] Shut up, shut up! Just because you look like that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with this part of your face. How does Prentiss make this look easy?
- [moving to leave]
- Penelope Garcia: Okay, come on. Jeez!
- Jennifer Jareau: Mmm, have fun.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: And that's when I wake up. It's been the same dream for the past week. What do you think?
- Dr. Margaret Stein: I've heard it before.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You have?
- Dr. Margaret Stein: It's a very common anxiety dream among law enforcement. Sometimes Secret Service agents have one about not taking the bullet. What do you think it means?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The ax murderer comes across as having schizoaffective disorder, which is odd because of...
- Dr. Margaret Stein: Spencer, that's a profile. What does the dream make you feel?
- Emily Prentiss: [answering a phone call] Yes, I approved Penelope Garcia's use of the BAU office, as today she's hosting a weekend workshop on...
- [listening]
- Emily Prentiss: What? How loud is the music?
- David Rossi: So, your old neighbor is suing you, even though you haven't lived next door to him in years?
- Emily Prentiss: I guess. Uh, he's named me and the government as co-defendants in a Fifth Amendment civil rights violation. He says he's being watched.
- David Rossi: Oh, boy.
- Emily Prentiss: Ugh. Brian Garrity. He... I-I think he worked at a fish hatchery. He had a wife who was way out of his league. Oh, and he had a large cat that he would walk on, uh, this leash-type thing.
- David Rossi: And what do you want to do about it?
- Emily Prentiss: I-I... I want to Uber home and, uh, sober up and change my clothes, and then I'm gonna, uh, call him into Quantico. I-I have to diffuse this before it gets worse.
- [seeing his reaction]
- Emily Prentiss: What? Say it.
- David Rossi: He sounds like a conspiracy theorist, and we need to be careful of how much oxygen we give those types.
- Emily Prentiss: [amused chuckle] Please, Dave, a little credit. I've talked the guns out of hands of psychopaths. I can handle one kook who hired a lawyer.
- Delivery Man: Emily Prentiss?
- Emily Prentiss: Yes.
- Delivery Man: [giving her an envelope] You have been served.
- Emily Prentiss: [he turns to leave] Hey, wait. How'd you find me here?
- [he just laughs]
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [to Sammy] You have a panic attack? Here, let me show you something. Wait, behold! An average penny 97% zinc, 3% copper, now if you focus all of your attention to the center of my hand, you will create a beam of energy, strong enough to make this penny... disappear
- Sammy: [after Reid has shown his now empty hands] Wow! How'd you do that?
- Total Stranger: What the hell, man? You hit me with this penny!
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I'm sorry
- Maxine: [laughing] Sorry
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [has to leave] I.. look, I know we said, eh, no names and no phone numbers, but I would really to do this again sometime... preferably...
- Maxine: [Giggling] So, eh, what do you do for the FBI, for real?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I'm, eh, a profiler. I use psychology to find people
- Maxine: Good! Find me
- Elizabeth Wise: I was wondering if you could show the class how to use a VPN to mash an onion router in, say... like, Romania.
- Penelope Garcia: Romania? Yeah, you're not gonna need that, unless you need to hide, I mean, like "hide" hide your signal.
- Elizabeth Wise: I know.
- Penelope Garcia: Who are you hiding from?
- Elizabeth Wise: Uh... I have a, you know... stalker. Heh. But i-it's all online, so it's probably fine, right?
- Penelope Garcia: Maybe. Probably. But do you need my help?
- Elizabeth Wise: Maybe. Probably, yeah.
- Penelope Garcia: [taking and plugging in her laptop] Yeah? Okay, um, let's start with this. Do you think it's a stalker or just, like, a troll? 'Cause sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
- Elizabeth Wise: Check for yourself.
- [Garcia sees pictures and messages pop up on her screens]
- Elizabeth Wise: It's bad, right?
- Penelope Garcia: Yeah. Yeah, it's bad.
- Dr. Margaret Stein: You know, when we started a few weeks ago, you said you wanted to dive into the deep end, trying to resolve feelings towards a co-worker
- Dr. Spencer Reid: JJ and I have worked through it. We're actually doing rationally we're doing great, especially after what she's been through. It's amazing...
- Dr. Margaret Stein: We... we are not talking about her! We're talking about you!
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Technically, I do have a free afternoon
- Sammy: Yes!
- Maxine: Okay, but let's just do both us a favor upfront. Let's agree to not exchange names or phone numbers and then when he goes, we can just both go our own separated ways. Does that good to you?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Yes
- Maxine: Right
- Sammy: Yes! The FBI has, like what, 35,000 employees. Did you know that?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I actually did know that
- Young Woman: [Reid, entering the elevator, just got instructed he should have one normal conversation with one normal person outside work] Hi!
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [Surprised] Hi
- Young Woman: [Making gestures, pointing to her earphones] Hi, sorry, I'm here... just some guy... in the elevator...
- Penelope Garcia: And what is weird on top if weird is that all that listing and watching completely stopped 6 month ago
