Zach Gilford: Elias Voit

Quotes 

• Elias Voit : 2000 Petrus?

  David Rossi : No, thanks.

  Elias Voit : What, do you think I'm gonna drug you?

  David Rossi : Your body count is up to 52.God knows how many more. I'm not taking any chances.

  Elias Voit : I have these friends, Dan and Sheila.I... Actually, they're podcast hosts. Anyway, they have gone through every single one of your cases, and they have a pretty compelling argument that the Behavioral Analysis Unit is secretly terrible at profiling. Like right now, for instance. Why did you come in here, Dave? To make a deal. Do you have the authority to do that?

  David Rossi : It's a gentlemen's agreement. You let Sydney and your daughters go, I'll let you go.

  Elias Voit : You think I would trade my family for my freedom? I love them.

  David Rossi : I believe you. Oh. And that love makes you unique among psychopaths. And that's how I knew I would catch you through your family and why it would be difficult to kill them. Harlow especially. But you will.

  Elias Voit : Jesus. Dan and Sheila were right.

  David Rossi : You've had intrusive thoughts about murdering them ever since Cyrus. Haven't you? Ohh, that's a yes.There's a term for what you're going through. It's called devolution.

  Elias Voit : Yes, I know what devolution is

  Elias Voit : .Then you know it never ends well.

  David Rossi : Here's what I think. I think you're devolving a bit yourself because I'm here and you can't do anything about it.

  David Rossi : Well, maybe you should stay right there and keep your hands where I can see them.

  Elias Voit : What? You're gonna shoot an unarmed man in his own house?

  David Rossi : Well, maybe I am devolving.My career is over. What the hell have got to lose?

  Elias Voit : That is an interesting question, but it's not the most interesting question. The most interesting question is why would I need drugs and the wine and a gun in the kitchen when you're a 70-year-old man... and I'm not?

• David Rossi : I have to take a leak.

  Elias Voit : Too bad.

  David Rossi : You're gonna let me piss my pants?

  Elias Voit : Should've worn your Depends before you came into my house.

  David Rossi : Will you cut the old man shit? It's condescending.

  Elias Voit : Good.'Cause I got to tell you, when Sydney told me that you were in the house, I was expecting David Rossi, the legend. But what I got was David Rossi, the AARP member. I was hoping for a challenge. Barely even raised my pulse.

  David Rossi : Well, I can wiggle out of my pants. Here we go. Hey. Hey!

  Elias Voit : What? You're not pissing in your own car.

  David Rossi : Apparently, I don't have a choice.

  Elias Voit : Yes, you do. You can wait until I unload your car and got a new one.

  David Rossi : Oh, good luck with that. The smell is gonna be awful. Does urine have DNA? Oh, wait. I'm so old.I can't remember.

  Elias Voit : Fine, fine, fine.
