Emily Prentiss
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I think I might just... stay home and, uh, man the tipline tonight. Clubs aren't really my thing.
- Derek Morgan: Not a chance, kid; I need a wingman. Come on.
- David Rossi: Actually, there is another angle we need to pursue.
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: We still don't know what made the unsub change his victimology. What made him stop killing prostitutes and move into the clubs.
- David Rossi: The answer might be something in Viper's class. But to figure that out we need to profile the teacher.
- Derek Morgan: You need to bait him, then, with somebody he sees as a challenge.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: We need to study his style up close and personal. It's gonna take someone he's already attracted to.
- Emily Prentiss: Ugh. Ugh, this is really gonna suck.
- Emily Prentiss: [opening quote, voiceover] Author Harlan Ellison wrote, "The minute people fall in love, they become liars."
- Viper: Your turn.
- Emily Prentiss: No.
- Viper: You scared I might be right?
- Emily Prentiss: No, Paul. I'm baffled. I cannot figure out what the unsub could have learned from you.
- Viper: What do you mean? He took my look, my words, everything that makes me successful with the opposite sex.
- Jordan Todd: Really? Because that guy could get beautiful women into his apartment. I wouldn't let you on my Facebook page.
- Emily Prentiss: Oh, you're on Facebook?
- Jordan Todd: Yeah, you should friend me.
- Emily Prentiss: I will.
- Viper: Hey, hey, hey! I gave him the routines that made him what he is.
- Emily Prentiss: It must all be in the salesmanship then.
- Jordan Todd: Because we've been watching all the women in the club...
- Emily Prentiss: ...and not one of them has looked at you. So who do you really go home with, Paul? Or... or do you go home alone?
- Emily Prentiss: Jordan, this is Viper, God's gift to women.
- Jordan Todd: Wow, God sure has a sense of humor.
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: You're okay with this, right?
- Emily Prentiss: Yeah, I'll be fine. Sadly, I've actually dated people worse than Viper.
- Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner: [seems unsure what to say] Wow.
- Viper: You see, eye contact is a very powerful gauge. That's why you tend to look away from someone you're attracted to because you know, instinctively, what a dead giveaway it is. But your brain goes there anyway: images, fantasies.
- Jordan Todd: Don't flatter yourself.
- Viper: The eyes don't lie. They dilate. It's a chemical response we can't control.
- Emily Prentiss: Okay, 15 seconds.
- Jordan Todd: What do you see?
- Emily Prentiss: No, no change. No dilation.
- Jordan Todd: I guess chemically we're not a match.
- Viper: Only because you have someone else on the mind. Once that happens, the attraction center in the brain shuts down.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What is a pickup? It's basically just a profile.
- Derek Morgan: Decoding cues of interest and recoding similar ones.
- Emily Prentiss: If you're too obvious you turn off your target. If you're oblivious, your target moves on to a better profiler.
- Derek Morgan: [speaking of Viper] Will you listen to that language? He's training serial killers.
- Emily Prentiss: Great. We're dealing with a rampant narcissist and misogynist who's turned himself into a snake oil salesman.
- Emily Prentiss: Of the twenty self-described pickup artists in the area, there's only one guy who encourages his students to dress like, uh, space cowboys.
