  Jason Gideon : Max, come on.

  Derek Morgan : No, no, he never said anything.

  Max Ryan : Well, let me fill you in, then. We had this bomber case; it was one of Jason's first. So we had him go over and search the bomber's car, which was in the Quantico garage. Except for me and the guys had planted this piece of paper that had all these times and locations of where the FBI Director was gonna be over the next forty-eight hours. Anyway, Jason takes one look at this piece of paper, and before we could stop him, he takes off, runs up twenty-five flights of stairs to the Director's office, barges in.

  Derek Morgan : [laughing]  Get out of here!

  Max Ryan : Interrupting a meeting with the Attorney General himself.

  Derek Morgan : [slapping Gideon's knee]  Yeah!

  Jason Gideon : The Director didn't find it very funny.

  Max Ryan : He was the only one who didn't.

  Elle Greenaway : [tries to read what Reid has circled]  Nibrahs... that's a name? From which country?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It's backwards

• Max Ryan : [reading a note]  "In order for the light to shine so brightly, darkness must be present"

  Dr. Spencer Reid : In your book on page 184. I, eh, read it on the plane

  Max Ryan : And you remembered the page number on that quote?

  Derek Morgan : Don't ask!

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Accidents? In America someone is involved in a car accident once every 10 seconds!
