Revelations

Aaron Hotchner

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Everybody, right now, what's my worst quality?
[nobody answers]
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Okay, I'll start. I have no sense of humor.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: You're a bully.
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: I'm a bully.
Derek Morgan: You can be a drill sergeant sometimes.
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Right.
Emily Prentiss: You don't trust women as much as men.
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Okay, good. I'm all of these things. But none of you said that I ever put myself above the team, because I don't, ever. Reid and I argued about the definition of classic narcissism, and he knew that I would remember that. And he also quoted Genesis chapter 23, verse 4. Read it.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: "I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me property, forbear a place among you that I may bury my dead out of my sight."
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: He wouldn't get it wrong unless it was on purpose.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: You know, I always take advantage of Reid for his brain, but I never actually teach him how to deal with things emotionally.

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Emily
Emily Prentiss: Yeah?
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: How come none of this gets you?
Emily Prentiss: What do you mean?
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: You came off a desk job, now suddenly you're in a field, surrounded by mutilated bodies and you don't even flinch
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: She's right. You've never blinked
Emily Prentiss: I... guess... maybe... I can compartmentalize better than most people

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: Think of the house as a witness. If it could talk, what would it tell us?
Penelope Garcia: My guess is it'd tell us to get the hell out.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: [voiceover] "There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins." - Ecclesiastes 7:20.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: [at Tobias Hankle's empty house] . Think of this house as a witness. If it could talk, what would it say?
