Emily Prentiss:  Hey , are you gon na tell me what 's up ? Reid , it 's me .
Dr. Spencer Reid: Do you ever wonder if you lived up to expectations ?
Emily Prentiss: I beat them . I figured I 'd be a bored socialite by 25 .
Dr. Spencer Reid: I thought I 'd cure schizophrenia by the time I was 25 . You know , when I was a kid , people told me that I could do anything .
Emily Prentiss: You 're afraid you 've let people down ?
Dr. Spencer Reid: No , I 'm afraid I let myself down .
Emily Prentiss: By not curing schizophrenia ?
Dr. Spencer Reid: No , just because ... I do n't know why I 'm in the FBI .
Emily Prentiss: I see . You 're genius , but you have the same job as me , Morgan , JJ .
Dr. Spencer Reid: Yeah , exactly . No , that 's not what I 'm saying . It 's just sometimes ... sometimes , I kind of get this feeling like ... Like maybe I should have done something more with my life .
Emily Prentiss: How old are you ? 29 .
Dr. Spencer Reid: I 'm _ 30 _ .
Emily Prentiss: No way . We missed your birthday ? Well , why did n't you tell us ? The fact of the matter is you 're young . There 's still time .
Dr. Spencer Reid: By the time Nicola Tesla was 30 , he 'd already invented the induction motor .
Emily Prentiss: You know what ? You might be right . You do n't hear that much about child prodigies once they grow up . In fact , most of them turn out average .
Dr. Spencer Reid: That 's not true . Are you trying reverse psychology with me ?
Emily Prentiss: I 'm just telling it like it is .
