Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : Do you want to go into the Batcave and hang out like old times?

  Derek Morgan : You know I want to. But I'd have to bargain with my boss, and my boss is no joke. He's real tough on me. Did you not get my text?

  Penelope Garcia : While you were lovingly mansplaining to me? No, that would be rude.

  Derek Morgan : Woman, look at your phone.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay. Well, I would've, but...

  Derek Morgan : [she takes her phone out]  I don't know if you're ready.

  [a video file plays] 

  Derek Morgan : Hey, Hank the Tank, say "Hey, Aunt Penelope."

  Hank Morgan : Hey, Auntie.

  Derek Morgan : Right?

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, my gosh. How is my godson continuing to get cuter and smarter? This is everything! This is the greatest. You're the greatest. Thank you.

  Derek Morgan : You're welcome.

• Penelope Garcia : [her phone rings]  Call me back at my desk in two minutes.

  Derek Morgan : Whatever you need, baby girl.

  Penelope Garcia : [realizing who it is]  This is you. You're on the phone.

  Derek Morgan : Yeah, it's me. I heard what's going on.

  Penelope Garcia : Did they tell you I'm being hideous? It's because, like... listen to me. I've lost my voice because I've been crying so much. I have, like, major PTSD, with an emphasis on the... on the "S" and the "T". And definitely some of the "D" and the "P". Because it's been a while since all of this happened and...

  [she sees Morgan enter] 

  Penelope Garcia : You're right there. It's really you.

  Derek Morgan : It's me.

  [she walks up to him and he gives her a gentle hug] 

  Derek Morgan : It's okay. I got you.

• Penelope Garcia : And no one knows how to handle me when I'm not in good form. I'm so unwieldy. So they brought in the secret weapon. Hey. Look at this. Huh?

  Derek Morgan : [she leads him into his old office]  Oh, wow. Check this out. Same furniture?

  Penelope Garcia : What, you really think I'm gonna let them move it? I need it. I come in here when I miss you.

  Derek Morgan : Oh, yeah?

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. I feel bashful telling you that, but... it makes me feel better. Even imaginary you. Now you're really... here. Thank you.

  Derek Morgan : So that's all it took? Me showing up. No words of wisdom needed?

  Penelope Garcia : Uh-huh. Basking in our connectivity, I feel healed.

  Derek Morgan : We always could do that, couldn't we? No words.

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, yeah. Although I do enjoy our delicious banter. Speaking of which, I know you didn't come all this way just to look at me.

  Derek Morgan : Sure, I did.

• David Rossi : Any lead on the manipulator killer theory?

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, I found a bunch of references to Satan in Ferell's writing, and I'm sending a video from the archive to your monitor now.

  Floyd Feylinn Ferell : [on the video file]  I'm not smart, but I have a smart friend who tells me things.

  Derek Morgan : What's your smart friend's name?

  Floyd Feylinn Ferell : He says you know his name.

  Jennifer Jareau : So it's possible he did have a partner.

  David Rossi : Just enough in the interview to make it seem plausible, but no definitive proof either way.

• Derek Morgan : I'm really sorry this is triggering the trauma of that night.

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, I-I am moving on.

  Derek Morgan : All right, that's good. Did you know I prayed that night? Me. First time in a long time. I wanted to take your place. I still wish it was me who took that bullet.

  Penelope Garcia : No. No, I'm... I mean, yeah, it was scary, but I'm glad it was me. I know it really weirdly made me stronger.

  Derek Morgan : It did.
