Gina LaSalle : [handing Cooper a picture of Jane] I think you should have this.
Sam Cooper : Why? What, you're profiling me now?

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : ...while your team tests the theory about the fathers and daughters.
Sam Cooper : And if I'm right, both halves of the case help solve the other half.
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : And you already asked the director, and she said no.
Sam Cooper : She is not strong at thinking outside the box.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : Cooper, listen. Your theory's right. We know he's killing homeless men as well as fathers and daughters. But let us work it. If you go back to D.C. now, the director won't know that you ignored her order.
Sam Cooper : Look, I know you're sticking your neck out on this thing for me. I... I understand. I don't... I'm not trying to...
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : This isn't about me. I want to protect you.

Sam Cooper : You remember we got that confession for those five child murders, but all we all had that gut feeling.
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : We knew he wasn't good for all of them. The preference was too varied.
Sam Cooper : Local cops shut the investigation down. The FBI brass, they told us to... to get our asses back home.
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : I remember.
Sam Cooper : Where were you when you heard they caught that second killer dumping this boy's body?
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : I was in Denver working on a new case. You?
Sam Cooper : I wasn't on anything yet. I could have still been there. I won't ignore my gut again. I don't care what it costs me.
