Matthew Gray Gubler: Dr. Spencer Reid

Quotes 

• David Rossi : What's this?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It's the pattern I've been looking for. The unsubs hid their tracks with the mothers, but they weren't so careful with the abandoned babies.

  David Rossi : Did you find more children?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : DNA-wise, no, but deductively, yes. I gathered all the records for all infants who entered into foster care in a two week window following each mother's death. Then I narrowed it down to babies that were abandoned at churches. This is where the guesswork begins. Monica Winmar's daughter was abandoned at a Presbyterian church. Let's assume the unsub, or the wife at least, is Presbyterian. That means all other unwanted children are gonna be left at the same denomination, right? That narrows it down to three babies left at three different Presbyterian churches all within this twenty-mile radius. This is where they live.

  David Rossi : These kids you deduced to... have you looked at their files?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : No. Right now I've only been tracking churches. Why?

  David Rossi : Because you just uncovered another pattern.

  [cut to Hotch in New Mexico] 

  Aaron Hotchner : Yeah, we're packing up now. We can be in Phoenix in about two hours. Are you sure about this?

  David Rossi : The names of the babies Reid found tells us everything. Lisa, Elizabeth, Amanda.

  Aaron Hotchner : We profiled there'd be a type they'd keep and a type they'd put into foster care.

  David Rossi : They're keeping the boys.

• Penelope Garcia : Okay, know this: most adoption people are like the nicest, most dedicated people in the world. There are however real skeezy ones

  Dr. Spencer Reid : How skeezy?

  Penelope Garcia : Super skeezy. I've got a spreadsheet of one of them, expecting compensation for the baby I'm having

  Derek Morgan : Something you want to tell me, Garcia?

  Penelope Garcia : Uhm, that's the sad part, my prince. The genetically perfect offspring of Penelope Garcia and Derek Morgan wouldn't fetch top dollar

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Who does?

  Penelope Garcia : White babies are in higher demand than minorities. Boys are more popular than girls, at least this year anyway. And then there is the Swedish supermodel rule

  Emily Prentiss : The what?

  Penelope Garcia : If I were to deliver a blond haired, blue eye, bundle of joy I would set for life. I would!
