[Hotch is on the stand being questioned by the defense attorney, Lester Serling]

Lester Serling:
Fact is, behavioral analysis is really just intellectual guesswork. You probably couldn't tell me the color of my socks with any greater accuracy than a carnival psychic.

Cece Hillenbrand:
[standing] Objection.

Lester Serling:
Withdrawn.

[Not expecting an answer, Serling turns away from Hotch to head back to his seat]

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner:
Charcoal gray.

[Serling, surprised that Hotch provided an answer, turns around and lifts his pants to reveal his socks, at which he points]

Lester Serling:
[sarcastically] Well look at that. He got one right.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner:
You match them to the color of your suit to appear taller. You also wear lifts, and you've had the soles of your shoes replaced. One might think you're frugal, but in fact you're having financial difficulties. You wear a fake Rolex because you pawned the real one to pay your debts, my guess is to a bookie.

Lester Serling:
I took this case pro bono. I am one of the most successful criminal attorneys in the state.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner:
Your vice is horses. Your BlackBerry's been buzzing on the table every twenty minutes, which happens to be the average time between posts from Colonial Downs. You're getting race results, and every time you do it affects your mood in court, and you're not having a very good day. That's because you pick horses the same way you practice law: by always taking the long shot.

Lester Serling:
Well, you spin a very good yarn, agent, but as usual you've proven nothing.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner:
[looking at his watch] If I'm not mistaken, the results from the fifth race should be coming through any minute.

[Serling's BlackBerry on the table starts to buzz]

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner:
Why don't you tell us if your luck has changed?

Lester Serling:
Your Honor, this is...

Judge:
What do you want me to do? Either show us your BlackBerry or cut him loose, counselor.

[Serling ponders the question for a second]

Lester Serling:
Nothing further.

Judge:
Wise decision.
