Joe Mantegna: David Rossi

Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : You got a ring? You bought a ring, and I had to hear it from Portia and not you?

  David Rossi : Penelope...

  Penelope Garcia : Look, I know I'm not your daughter, and Portia's gonna be your daughter thanks to your pending nuptials. But I'm kind of like your daughter, so...

  David Rossi : Penelope, uh...

  Penelope Garcia : [mortified]  K-Krystall's behind that door right now, which means that she knows that you got her...

  [Rossi opens the door] 

  Penelope Garcia : ...an engagement ring.

  Krystall Richards : Hi, Penelope. It's good to see you.

  Penelope Garcia : Oh... there's no way I can un-ruin this?

  David Rossi : Oh, that cat is so far out of the bag.

  Penelope Garcia : Uh... I don't like cats being in bags usually, but right now, I'm very sorry, sir.

• David Rossi : [opening quotation]  "When you have a child, the world has a hostage." - Ernest Hemingway.

• David Rossi : Go ahead. I know you want to say it

  Emily Prentiss : Oh. So if you marry your third wife for the second time, what color is the dress for that?

  David Rossi : [laughing]  I admit, I have been wondering that myself

• David Rossi : It can never be perfect, can it?

  Emily Prentiss : No. That's why good enough is good enough

• David Rossi : Do you remember what Elvis said when he married us? He said, um...

  [in an Elvis impression] 

  David Rossi : "Do you take this woman in sickness and health, for richer, for poorer, as long as you both shall live?"

  [Krystall laughs] 

  David Rossi : [normally]  And then, for some reason, you started giggling.

  Krystall Richards : Yeah, because after you said "I do", he said

  [doing her own Elvis impression] 

  Krystall Richards : "Thank you. Thank you very much."

  David Rossi : I love that it was funny for us then. It's funny for me now. But I want to have a second chance; this time, no blackjack, no booze, no Elvis. I want to say those vows and mean them. It doesn't matter where or how, as long as I can spend the rest of my life living them with you. Will you give me that chance, Krystall?

  [getting down on one knee and presenting an engagement ring] 

  David Rossi : Will you marry me?

  Krystall Richards : [taking the ring]  Yes. Yes, I'll marry you.

  [they kiss; cut to the elevator arriving on their floor, where the team is waiting] 

  David Rossi : She said yes!

• David Rossi : [closing quotation]  "The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place we can go as we are and not be questioned." - Dr. Maya Angelou.

• David Rossi : Where are we on friends-and-family interviews?

  Emily Prentiss : Butlers had no family in the area, and everyone who knew them volunteered to come in. We've asked the local police to administer a polygraph to all interviewees.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Standard operating procedure in all child abduction cases. Anyone who says "no" stands out. Who said no?

  Emily Prentiss : Nobody. We'll vet the interviewees when we land, but for now, let's consider other theories.

• David Rossi : When it comes to missing kids, the first 24 hours are the only 24 hours

• David Rossi : This guy is even colder than we thought

  Dr. Jennifer Brentwood : Colder? This isn't cold?

• Dr. Spencer Reid : We've been looking so hard at the families, that we missed the most obvious connection: genetics

  David Rossi : But the families aren't related

  Dr. Spencer Reid : You've no idea how right you are. Take Kellen and Grace Butler, both of these parents have green eyes. Ruby also has green eyes, but one of her eyes has some shadings to it. It's the result of a condition called heterochromia. It's genetic and neither parent shares it

• Emily Prentiss : What other leads do we have inside the adoption system?

  Penelope Garcia : It's kind of a slog. There is a lot of stuff to consider, like, for instance did you know that there is a home decorator for potential parents? That is a thing. It's not a thing we need to look in to right now, I don't think, but it's a thing

  David Rossi : I know you have a full plate, but there's one more search we need

  Penelope Garcia : Oh? No problem, put all the things on the plate. I do way better when I'm overwhelmed. Hit me
