Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : [voiceover]  There's a quote by my favorite author, Joseph Campbell, and it goes like this: "Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain."

• Penelope Garcia : [voiceover]  "Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark" ~~ George Iles

• Derek Morgan : Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Where do you think you're going?

  Penelope Garcia : I'm going with you.

  Derek Morgan : No, that can't happen. It could be way too dangerous.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay, um, either you let me go with you or you're going to have to forcibly remove me from the SUV. Your choice.

• Penelope Garcia : [voiceover]  We are each on our own journey. Each of us are on our very own adventure, encountering all kinds of challenges. And the choices we make on that adventure will shape us as we go. Those choices will stretch us and test us and push us to our limit, and our adventure will make us stronger than we ever knew we could be.

• Penelope Garcia : Bill, I... I know the pain you feel. I get you. I know. I-I heard you talk about it in group.

  Bill Rogers : Why doesn't Monica understand that?

  Penelope Garcia : Bill, I just think she needs more time to understand it.

  Monica Kingston : What?

  Penelope Garcia : Listen, Bill. I know all you've ever wanted was just somebody to love. You were trapped inside a cocoon just waiting for somebody to set you free.

  Bill Rogers : Hope made me feel. For the first time in my life, I felt love.

  Monica Kingston : She was my baby!

  Penelope Garcia : You-you brought Monica here because you're heartbroken, and you're desperate to recreate what you lost with Hope.

  Monica Kingston : I LOST MY CHILD!

  Penelope Garcia : Bill, you need to tell her. You can do this, okay? You need to let her know why this is all happening. You need to tell her. You can do this.

  Monica Kingston : Say something. Say something!

  Bill Rogers : Our baby...

  Monica Kingston : Oh-ho-ho, my-y God. Oh, my God, my baby.

  Bill Rogers : Hope was pregnant.

  Derek Morgan : [entering]  Bill, drop the gun.

  Penelope Garcia : Do what he says.

  Derek Morgan : Drop it. Now.

  Penelope Garcia : It's okay, Bill.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [entering]  Nice and easy.

  Derek Morgan : [Bill drops the gun]  Now put your hands where I can see them.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Slowly step away from Monica.

  Derek Morgan : Easy...

  [Monica takes the gun] 

  Penelope Garcia : Monica!

  [Monica shoots Bill] 

• [first lines] 

  Penelope Garcia : Here goes. And, uh... this is the part I always leave out: I had missed my curfew the second time that week, and when I got home, it was crazy late. It was like 3:00 in the morning, and my parents weren't home, and the phone rang - and my life stopped. My parents were killed by a drunk driver when they were out looking for me, and if they hadn't been out looking for me, then...

  [sighs] 

  Penelope Garcia : W-we all have wounds that we want to heal. That's why we come here every week, right? A-a-a-and I have to believe that, as we keep coming here and talking and revealing, that eventually, in time, even the deepest wounds we carry will begin to heal.
