Said By: Quote: Author:

Best Lines
  • JJ: "I'm not a hostage negotiator."
  • Hotch: "I'm sorry, you are today."
  • Garcia (to Morgan): "Our love is a rock, no bad day can come between us."
  • Morgan (to Hotch): "When you needed us we were there for you. This one is mine."
  • Flynn (to Ellie): "The question isn't why do I kill people, the question is, why I don't kill everybody."
  • JJ (to Flynn over radio): "What happened to you, it isn't fair, but what you're doing to her isn't fair either, and if anyone should understand what that feels like, it's you. You have the power, you can do what you want to do. But for once, you can choose to use that power to do for Ellie what should have been done for you. You can choose letting her go. You can choose teaching her, yes, there are monsters and it's okay to be afraid of them, but it's not okay to let them win, and it's not okay to be one."
  • Flynn (to Morgan about killing his mother): "When I shot her, she looked at me with such...she was... I think relieved. I think I helped her escape. Was that really true or did I imagine it to make killing her easier to live with?"

    Morgan (to Flynn): "You point that gun at them and I will kill you and that is another promise."

In this episode Billy Flynn said to Morgan at the end of the episode that 5 years ago he should've killed him in the bedroom (which was the last episode in season 5) but it wasnt 5 years between the finale episode of season 5 and the first episode of season 6
