JJ: Every time your name was mentioned today and every time I didn't say "hey yeah, I know him" I'm lying.
Cruz: I know it's not easy. I don't like it either.
JJ: We're surrounded by profilers, Mat. One side glance and they're going to figure it all out.

JJ: I know why we can't tell them. I get that, but we can't have too many of these conversations either.
Cruz: That case could stay open for a couple of years.
JJ: It's already been almost three.

Cruz: If I didn't know better I'd say you have commitment issues.
JJ: Well, good thing you know better.

JJ: Look we really shouldn't meet like this.
Cruz: I know but we have to talk about something. Want to grab breakfast?
JJ: Yeah, okay.

Rossi: Happy Wednesday, my nerds.
Blake: Hey, you're here early.
Rossi: Well apparently not early enough - I missed all the excitement. You do that in pen?
Blake: Is there any other way?

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too was a gift - Mary Oliver.

Rossi: Cruz has risen through the ranks. It looks like he spent most of his time at headquarters. Blue flamer. Being our Section Chief could be a two-year stepping stone for him.
Morgan: So he hasn't been in the field but he wants to now?
JJ: What's wrong with that?
Morgan: Come on. It's the same thing with Strauss. We don't need a babysitter out here.
Rossi: Well that's now how she saw it. She just wanted to see the team in action.
Morgan: Look, all due respect to Strauss, and you know that, Rossi - I just don't like it. If you want a desk job, then sit at your desk.
JJ: Geeze. Tell us what you really think.

Morgan: You ever hear of this Cruz guy?
Rossi: Yes, but we've never crossed paths. You?
Morgan: Nope.
Rossi: JJ?
JJ: Yeah, I've heard his name.
