Episode Quotes

Aaron Hotchner: [voiceover] Nicolo Machiavelli wrote, "If an injury has to be done to a man, it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared."

Lt. Al Garner: Do you know how rare it is for an arsonist to be a burn victim?
Dr. Spencer Reid: Less than 3.5%.
Derek Morgan: This guy's not an arsonist. He's a serial killer who uses fire.

Emily Prentiss: [Reid is rambling about Halloween] All I did was ask what he was doing this weekend.
Dr. Spencer Reid: I'm toying with the notion of either going to the Edgar Allan Poe Shadow Puppet Theater or the reenactment of the 19th century Phantasmagoria.
David Rossi: I don't wanna know.
Dr. Spencer Reid: Oh, yeah, you do.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): When the killer is fumbling through the closet to find the canister of ketone, the front of the can is facing the camera. Then the front of the can is suddenly facing the wall until the killer grabs it and turns it around, so that the front of the can is facing the camera again.
Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When discussing the popularity of Halloween, Reid refers to it as Samhain, however he mispronounces it, the correct pronunciation is Sawhain.
Goof (continuity error): Hotch carries the owner of the diner out the door just before the diner explodes. The camera then cuts to a wider view of the explosion, and Hotch and the diner owner are not there. The camera then cuts back to a close-up of the diner, and Hotch and the diner owner are there again.
