Matthew Gray Gubler: Dr. Spencer Reid

Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : [closing, voiceover]  "Sometimes the hardest part isn't letting go but rather learning to start over." - Nicole Sobon

• Derek Morgan : S'up, Reid?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Have the cornea or pupils been harmed in any way?

  Derek Morgan : No, no. Blake said it looked like a very sharp instrument was used.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : If he's taking care not to damage the eyes, then line of sight is probably what's important to him.

  Derek Morgan : So this guy wants them to see what he's doing. Hey, Reid? How are you?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I gotta go.

  [hangs up] 

• Aaron Hotchner : You really don't need to be here if you're not ready. This is gonna take time.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : How much time?

  Aaron Hotchner : It's hard to say, but we're all here for you.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [whispers]  Thank you

• Dr. Spencer Reid : I think Hughes may have his next victim. An Alan Archer just came in and reported his boss missing. Madison Riley owns an art gallery in the Mission District. Said there was blood, signs of struggle. Hughes even left a painting of his on the wall this time. It's the same signature and it's definitely made of blood, which got me thinking about Maeve's stalker. If this guy's a tortured artist searching for approval, in his mind there may be only one way to get it.

  Derek Morgan : Suicide. Thanks, Reid.

• Alex Blake : He removed the white blood cells. Plasma.

  David Rossi : Why would he take the plasma?

  Aaron Hotchner : It would make it thicker. Easier to use as a paint.

  Derek Morgan : What type of equipment would it take to do that?

  Alex Blake : You can easily buy a centrifuge online these days for couple hundred bucks.

  Aaron Hotchner : What other reasons would he have for separating the plasma from the blood?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It's a habit.

  Aaron Hotchner : Reid.

  Jennifer Jareau : Spence.

  Aaron Hotchner : I didn't expect you back this soon. You sure you're ready?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : No, but I think I figured something out.
