Prentiss: Well, road side hotels definitely go on my list… of things to never do again.
Reid: You have a list?
Rossi: You don’t?
Criminal Minds 4x04 - Paradise



Erin Strauss:Agent Hotchner I said that’s enough! My position is not in question here. As your superior, I am questioning your ability to lead your team…
Hotchner: My team? Let me tell you about my team: Agent Morgan fought to protect his identity from the very people who could save him. Why? Because trust has to be earned, and there are very few people he truly trusts. Reid’s intellect is a shield which protects him from his emotions, and at the moment his shield is under repair. Prentiss over-compensates because she doesn’t yet feel she’s a part of the team; she needn’t worry. Everyday Agent Jareau fields dozens of requests for our team, and every night she goes home hoping she has made the right choices. Garcia fills her office with figurines and color, to remind herself to smile as the horror fills her screens… And Agent Gideon in many ways is damned by his profound knowledge of others, which is why he shares so little of himself, yet he pours his heart into every case we handle. I stand by my actions, and I stand by my team, and if you think that you can find a better person for the job, then good luck.

Prentiss: Three cards, please
Reid: Three cards for the lady, and I’m going to take one card.
Prentiss: Ooh, one card. Straight or a flush, Dr. Reid, what are you trying to fill in?
Reid: Consider the odds of filling in an open-ended straight with one card are 5-to-1 against, while a one card flush draw is more like 4.5-to-1, I guess you’d say if I was smart, I’d be drawing into a flush. Hm, I think I’m going to go all in on this.
Prentiss: So, are you?
Reid: Am I drawing to a flush or am I smart?
Prentiss: Either.
Reid: I’m provably a genius, but uh..actually I was drawing into a full house. 8s over 6s.
Prentiss: Ugh, I always forget you’re from Vegas.
Reid: Yep!
Prentiss: Ohh, I’m sorry. Not so fast. I too have a boat. Jacks over 3s.
Reid: Wait, you drew three cards into a full house? That’s like 100-to-1 against.
Prentiss: 97-to-1. Looks like you’re out.
