Gregory Itzin: Virgil Minelli

Quotes 

• Virgil Minelli : [Referring to Jane]  What were you thinking? Leaving this man alone at an event like that?

  Teresa Lisbon : No excuses. I mistakenly treated him like a responsible adult.

• Virgil Minelli : Jane, you close cases. You - you close like a fiend. So I tolerate you and I - I protect you. And I let you make Lisbon's life a misery. But there's - there is -there is a line. And when you cross it, I will protect myself and this unit. And I will throw you to the wolves. Okay?

• Teresa Lisbon : Jane has an idea... But if we generate any complaints as to how we go about this, you're gonna back us right?

  Virgil Minelli : Well that depends... Obviously we need a win here. But I-I won't sanction anything underhanded or actionable.

  Teresa Lisbon : That's kind of vague.

  Virgil Minelli : The whole point of this unit is- is subtlety and discretion and judgment. I expect *you* to do what's right without dragging me into it.
