“[first lines] Holden Ford: [holding Richard Speck newspaper clippings] It's like meeting a movie star. Bill Tench: Could be as anti-climactic. Holden Ford: 'Crime of the Century.' Bill Tench: Until Charles Whitman two weeks later... Holden Ford: I remember staring at this wanted poster of him, tryin…”

“Holden Ford: What's the point if we don't apply it to the real world? Bill Tench: We're trying to save women from getting pulled into vans and cut to pieces, not crucify some schoolmarm who hasn't done anything. Holden Ford: Yet! Certainly our goal is to be preemptive. Bill Tench: We're the FBI, Hol…”

“Bill Tench: This is how we get to him. [shows Holden a picture of a severed foot as the businessman watches in horror] Businessman: Please. I can switch with you. Bill Tench: I'm enjoying the leg room.”

“Guys communicate in a certain way. It can be rough, but it's like a code. It gets out the conflict.”

“Bill Tench: It's always the mother. They all have a crazy, angry mother. Holden Ford: Or an absent father. Benjamin only changed after his father took off. Maybe has nothing to do with the mother. Bill Tench: Aren't all fathers absent in some way? I know my old man was never around. Imagine how diff…”

“Monte Rissell: You know what? I don't think I'm interested. Bill Tench: Fine. You want to diddle around, we'll walk out of here. We'll go have a nice, leisurely lunch wherever the fuck we want, and then take the picturesque drive back to Quantico. What's the rest of your day look like?”
— Joe Penhall, Dominic Orlando, Bill Tench, Holt McCallany, imdb.com
“Bill Tench: We're from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Behavioral Science Unit. Monte Rissell: Scientists? Bill Tench: We're from the Behavioral Science Unit. We're doing research.

“Bill Tench: There's nothing behind Kemper's eyes. It's like standing near a black hole. Holden Ford: Right. Bill Tench: And he thinks we're his friends. Well, he thinks you're his friend. Which makes you a pretty great FBI agent.”

“Bill Tench: I'm sorry, Ed, do you mean that violence in the movies drove you to kill those women? Edmund Kemper: No. My point is, in reality it doesn't work the way you expect. When you stab somebody they're supposed to fall dead. They go, 'Oh,' and they fall dead, right? Bill Tench: Right. Edmund K…”

“Holden Ford: So you're saying you don't think this, us interviewing these killers, is crazy? Wendy Carr: Just the opposite. I mean, crazy in the way that anyone with a truly new idea is crazy. But no. Holden Ford: Wow, OK. That's a relief. That hasn't really been the feedback we've gotten so far. Bi…”

“[last lines] Holden Ford: So what are you teaching? Wendy Carr: Um, I'm teaching a class on the intersection of sociopathy and fame. People like, um, Andy Warhol, Jim Morrison. Their celebrity becomes the only thing they need to sustain their ego. Bill Tench: Nixon was a sociopath. Wendy Carr: Very…”
