Criminal Minds, Season 5
[Morgan sees a kid texting, which interrupts Reid's lecturing]
Morgan:
Hey kid, not a good idea. Let me see it. [reads the phone's text] 'What planet is this dude from? He doesn't want us to win the contest.'
Reid:
Um, I think the more accurate statement would be "he doesn't want us to participate in the contest," at all... This was Ryan's desk, right? This is where Ryan sat? You guys remember Ryan, he played football, took, took Shauna to prom, I'm assuming some of you were probably even friends with Ryan. Ryan, wanted to win the contest too, but when Ryan choked himself, he cut off all the oxygen to his brain which sent a distress signal to his heart, slowing it down. Then his brain, in an effort to preserve itself, shut off all non-essential bodily functions. His arms gave out, his legs gave out, which means that he couldn't loosen the tie around his neck, at which point panic set in, and in Ryan's case, it escalated to cardiac arrest, which means that his heart stopped. Brain damage began, and within four minutes, he was completely and totally brain dead. He died scared and probably in a lot of pain, and unable to stop what he thought he had complete control of, all because he wanted to participate what I consider to be a pretty, pretty lame game. So, I mean, your, your text is actually completely accurate, I don't want you to win the contest because I don't... I don't want you to play the game.
