CONFESSIONAL BOOTH (post-"Plain Sight")

Reid.

Okay. I'm not saying I'm happy those women were raped and murdered and whatnot, but I hate that stupid hat they make me wear on my birthday. I don't know why everyone feels the need to validate me. I'm not trying to, so what gives with them? People see a genius who was largely on his own for most of his life and figure he missed out on something.

That's not true, though!

Again, I'm definitely not happy that such terrible crimes took place, but if something hadn't happened to stop their idiotic behavior, I might have started a fire.

I love Reid's birthday. It's like exacting revenge for how annoying he is all year. I couldn't care less if he had a terrible childhood or feels stunted or something. I know he hates when we make a big deal out of his birthday. I think it actually embarrasses him in front of the other agents and stuff, since it's something that only happens to him and he's all young and needs to prove that he's a real person or whatever. He's so lame. Anyway, we make him put on that dumb hat, and I feel good because I know he's miserable. listens to question from cameraman No. No, we don't invite him to anyone else's birthday. The one time we did…he made a scene. cuts to clip

A/N: I left the clip out on purpose, by the way.
