Elle: "I got you message." she says knocking on Hotch's door
Hotch: "Close the door. This is William Lee's case file. Sit down. The Bureau has concluded its internal investigation. And they accept your claim that you went to Lee's house to confront him. And that you defended yourself when he attacked. As your supervising agent, I've ordered a psychological status report."
Elle: "After the Bureau's cleared me? I don't need a shrink Hotch."
Hotch: "That's up to me to make that assesment."
Elle: "You think I'm lying. You know you're not a prosecutor anymore."
Hotch: "You're the only one who knows what really happened that night. And I think you need to be honest with yourself since you've got to live with for the rest of your life."
Elle: "I appreciate your concern. I'm fine."
Hotch: "Are you?"
Elle: "Yeah."
Hotch: "You're anxious, you're on edge, unnoticed."
Elle: "More than Watson, Reid, or Morgan?"
Hotch: "Neither of them confronted a suspect and then shot and killed him."
Elle: "Yeah because they didn't find themselves in the position that they needed to do so."
Hotch: "I've been doing this long enough, I know hypervigilance when I see it. Your first evaluation is in an hour."
Elle: "Not everyone's an unsub."
Hotch: "Don't be late."
Elle: "You're the boss." she mutters while walking out the office

Morgan: "Are these boys connected somehow?"
JJ: "Ozona's population's roughly 2,500. Everyone has some kind of connection."
Morgan: "Well if they weren't linked before, they most certainly are now."
Reid: "Both murdered by the same offender."
Gideon: "He's hunting children."
Hotch: "Plato wrote: "We can easily forgive a child who's afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life, is when men are afraid of the light."
