Quotes 

• Teresa Lisbon : So? What'd you learn?

  Patrick Jane : Oh, that was just a control question. The next question I ask him is a critical question.

  Teresa Lisbon : You know what? I don't need my gun. I could just hit you with my chair.

  Patrick Jane : Oh, I think you'll find it's bolted to the floor.

• [final lines of the episode] 

  Patrick Jane : I'm touched that you would risk your career for me. That means a lot to me.

  Teresa Lisbon : If you're right, and I'm not saying you are, it would mean I broke the trust of someone I respect and admire for your sake. If it is true, I would hope in the future, you'd be a little bit more mature and responsible in your behavior.

  Patrick Jane : I'm grateful and all, but let's not go crazy here.

  Teresa Lisbon : I should've let you rot in jail.

• Teresa Lisbon : That's interesting, but you could have told me that on the phone.

  Patrick Jane : I needed a visitor. So I could get into the visitors' room.

  Teresa Lisbon : How I wish I had my gun.

  Patrick Jane : Crimefighting's hard. Suck it up.

• Teresa Lisbon : No. No. I was only saying that because that's what Rigsby and the guys were just saying. Uh, it's total nonsense. Sam Bosco is a happily married man. He hasn't the faintest interest in me that way. I have no influence on him whatsoever.

  Patrick Jane : The guys noticed it too? I'm impressed. He's very recessive in his passions. Hard to spot that he'd kill and die for you.

  Teresa Lisbon : Trust me. You are *way* off.

  Patrick Jane : Interesting puzzle you present. Lies and truth all mixed together.

• Teresa Lisbon : Hey Bosco, what's up?

  Sam Bosco : You're not gonna like what I'm about to do, but you're gonna have to deal with it.

  Teresa Lisbon : What?

  Patrick Jane : Hey, Bosco.

  Sam Bosco : Hi Jane, you're under arrest.

  Teresa Lisbon : What the hell? What are you doing, Bosco?

  Sam Bosco : [to a member of his team]  Hook him up!

• Sam Bosco : You and me, we always had a good working relationship. And I hope that can continue.

  Teresa Lisbon : Okay, I listened.

  Sam Bosco : So we're cool?

  Teresa Lisbon : You did what you thought was right. I need to think about it before I know we're cool.

  Sam Bosco : Okay... Fair enough.

• Virgil Minelli : Lisbon. I had a horrible dream. I dreamt that Jane escaped the County Jail. I dreamt that the Sheriff, the AG, and the District Super all called to *yell* at me. Now, you're going to wake me up, yes?

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm sorry, sir. I have no excuse for him. He is beyond out of line.

• Teresa Lisbon : Don't make me go there, Sam.

  Sam Bosco : What are you saying *exactly*?

  Teresa Lisbon : You know what I'm saying. I'll talk about what happened 8 years ago.

  Sam Bosco : You'd go there?... I don't believe you.

  Teresa Lisbon : Believe me. Here I am.

• Ted Luscom : You don't know it, but you people are just tools of the United Nations.

  Patrick Jane : Oh yeah, we know it. They told us last June, laid it all out.

  Ted Luscom : Say what?

  Patrick Jane : It was a change of policy. Had a big secretive meeting, told us exactly who we're working for. That, my friend, was an eye opener. I'll tell you, wow.

  Ted Luscom : Are you mocking me?

  Patrick Jane : I'm serious.

  [whispering] 

  Patrick Jane : They told us the whole grand plan...

  Teresa Lisbon : Hush! Ignore him, Mr. Luscom.

• Wayne Rigsby : Local P. D. Stomped all over the scene. Don't think forensics will be any use.

  Teresa Lisbon : It's like they don't even watch TV. Every toddler knows this stuff.
