(Agent Prentiss is playing with a star puzzle)
Dr. Reid: What is that?
Prentiss: A star puzzle. Basically impossible to figure out. You have to fit all of the pieces back together to form a perfect star, but the origin of it is kind of a romantic tale.
(Everyone stops what they're doing to listen)
Prentiss: There was this young prince who wanted to win the heart of the fairest maiden in the land, so he climbed to the top of the tallest tower in the kingdom and he caught a falling star for her. Unfortunately, he was so excited that he dropped it and it smashed into all these pieces.
(Dr. Reid examines a piece)
Prentiss: So he frantically put it back together again to prove his undying love to her, and he succeeded and they lived happily ever after.
Reid: That doesn't make any sense.
Prentiss: What do you mean?
Reid: You can't catch a falling star, it would burn up in the atmosphere.
(Everyone looks at each other incredulously)
Prentiss: Yeah, but it's not literal Reid, it's a fable.
Reid: But there's no moral. Fables have morals.
Prentiss: Okay, so it's just a romantic little story. The point is it's basically impossible to do(Reid completes the puzzle in seconds) because you have to take all of those pieces and put them together exactly...
(Dr. Reid sets the completed star down on the table)
Prentiss: There's a lot to hate about you Dr. Reid.
Morgan laughs.
Rossi: Play poker with him sometime.
Morgan: Try playing chess with him..
Garcia: Or Go
(Prentiss scoffs, and Dr. Reid continues reading his book)

Love, love, love Dr. Reid. :)
My older sister had one of those star puzzles. It really is quite easy to do
