Criminal Minds Quote
Morgan: Reid [Reid turns to look at him] You know you’re not the only one who identifies with him. You said I was a high school jock, I was, but not at first. My freshman year I was five foot three I weighed a buck twenty sunken wet, so trust me when I tell you I got my ass kicked every day. So the next summer I hit the weights. And I got lucky, I grew six inches. But it was never about vanity Reid, it was about survival.
Reid: I was in the library and um, Harper Hillman comes up to me and she tells me that uh, Alexa Lisbon wants to meet me behind the field house. Alexa Lisbon’s like, easily the prettiest girl in school.
Morgan: So what happened? Alexa wasn’t there?
Reid: She was there; so was the entire football team. They, stripped me naked, and tied me to a goal post. So many kids were there you know, just watching.
Morgan: Nobody tried to stop them?
Reid: I begged. I begged them to, but they just, they just watched. Then, finally they got bored and they left. It was midnight when I finally got home and my mom didn’t- Mom was having one of her episodes so she didn’t even realize I was late.
Morgan: You never told her what happened?
Reid: Never told anybody- I thought- it’s one of things that I thought that if I didn’t talk about it I’d just forget, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
Morgan: [Sighs] Ah, Reid, you don’t need an eidetic memory for that. You know we forget half the things they teach us in school, but when it comes to the torment and the people who inflicted it we’ve all got an elephants memory.
Reid: Owen just wants to forget. I know what that’s like.
