“Tom: 'It's off.'

McKenzie: 'What?'

“The cool thing about Halloween is that it's a uniquely American holiday. I mean, despite its obvious origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian All Saints' Day, it really is a melting pot of various immigrants' traditions and beliefs. It became a little more commercialized in the 1950s with trick-or-treat, and today it rivals only Christmas in terms of popularity.”
— Dr. Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds, Season 6: Devil's Night

“Dr. Spencer Reid: Braden certainly would be vulnerable. Unlike classic autism, language ability is intact in people with Asperger's. They appear to lack empathy and have trouble reading social cues. Albert Einstein supposedly had it, as do some well-known Silicon Valley types.

Alex Blake: Well, how about you?

Dr. Spencer Reid: What's that?”
— Dr. Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds, Season 8: Through the Looking Glass
Tagged: Autism, Asperger's, Social Cues, Silicon Valley, Albert Einstein
“Documented examples include high-functioning autistics who collect child porn to pretend to plan a school shooting. They know that there's power in those images and those actions, but for them, there's no paraphilia behind it. They don't derive pleasure from it. What I don't see is someone who's interested in explosives. We need to rule out...”

“Dr. Spencer Reid: Do you wanna know why horror movies are so successful?

Derek Morgan: Why is that, genius?

Dr. Spencer Reid: They prey on our instinctual need to survive. In tribal days, a woman's scream would signal danger and the men would return from hunting to protect their pack. That's why it's always the women and not the men who fall victim to the bogeyman.”
— Dr. Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds, Season 6: The Stranger
Tagged: Horror Movies, Tribal, danger, Bogeymen
“The Mountain Man seems to be a confluence of several local legends. Some say he's part of the backwoods Appalachian population, others say he's a confederate holdout trying to start a second civil war to turn brother against brother. But the one thing they all could agree upon is that when you go into a darkened bathroom and you chant "I hate The Mountain Man" three times, he'll pop up behind you and kill you the next time you hear Lynyrd Skynyrd on the radio!”
— Dr. Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds, Season 9: Blood Relations
Tagged: Mountain Man, Appalachia, Civil War, Lynyrd Skynyrd, folklore
“I'm gonna walk you through a scenario and your face is gonna tell me how close I am. From the moment I arrested you, you watched and waited for the right time to take your revenge. When you learned I was going to Mexico, you took it. You and Lindsey framed me for murder so I'd be put in prison and treated like a criminal, and then you kidnapped my mother so I would know how it feels to have a parent manipulated, because you want to prove that you and I are the same. Am I right?”
— Dr. Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds, Season 12: Red Light
Tagged: Mexico, Prison, manipulation
“Paul: 'So what are you exactly?'

Tom: 'I don't know.'

Paul: 'Are you her boyfriend?'

Tom: 'It's not that simple.'

McKenzie: 'Sure, it is.'

Tom: 'What, like, are we going steady? Come on, guys. You know, we're-we're adults. We know how we feel. We don't need to put labels on it. I mean, "boyfriend," "girlfriend." All that stuff is... it's really juvenile.'

McKenzie: 'You sound gay.'

Paul: 'You really do.'

Tom [Points to McKenzie]: 'Okay, first of all, your last girlfriend was Amy Sussman in seventh grade. And you dated for, like, three hours. [Points to Paul] And you... You've been with Robyn since what, like, 1998?

Paul: ''97.'

Tom: ''97. See... Shoot. I don't think the two of you are exactly authorities on modern relationships.'”
