Quotes 

• Aaron Hotchner : Mexican proverb, "The house does not rest upon the ground, but upon a woman."

• Aaron Hotchner : You knew he was gay.

  Captain Navarro : You're a better profiler than Gideon is a lecturer.

  Aaron Hotchner : You also knew that a gay man couldn't have committed this murder. That's why you asked us about the sexuality of the killer at the crime scene, you knew Miguel was innocent.

  Captain Navarro : You don't understand how things work here. If I had told the Attorney General that this man is a homosexual and that is why he must be innocent, she would have laughed in my face.

  Aaron Hotchner : Why did you lie to us?

  Captain Navarro : I had to play along with the official line until I could trust that you would come to the same conclusion that I did.

  Aaron Hotchner : So we're here to serve as pawns in your political game.

  Captain Navarro : There is a very bad man killing women in my district. And I've known this for a very long time. But so far, no one will believe me, or help stop him. So if I have to play politics to protect the women of the city, then that is a very small price to pay.

• Aaron Hotchner : Anthony Brandt wrote "Other things may change us, but we start and end with family."

  Jason Gideon : [On the phone]  Hey, I know you're taking the weekend, but I wanted to let you know we got a call...

  Aaron Hotchner : Ah, amazing, I am so glad you're here, sis. And with you coming to town, it's been so much easier to get him to take time off. And I never could have prepared a meal like that by myself!

  [Aaron comes in] 

  Haley Hotchner : Go.

  Aaron Hotchner : Honey, it's just a briefing, a couple of hours and I'll be back, okay?

  Haley Hotchner : It's okay. They need you. It's alright, I am not mad. Go.

  [Leaves the room] 

  Aaron Hotchner : You heard her. She said it is alright

  Jessica Brooks : You're one hell of a profiler.
