Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : You honestly don't remember?

  Wayne Rigsby : Don't remember what?

  Kimball Cho : He remembers.

  Teresa Lisbon : He *so* remembers.

• Patrick Jane : [Rigsby is hypnotised but Lisbon doesn't believe it]  Deeply hypnotised subjects are very suggestible and have very little inhibition. Rigsby, do me a favour. Close your eyes

  [Rigsby looks doubtful] 

  Patrick Jane : Please?

  [Rigsby closes his eyes] 

  Patrick Jane : Now, relax. Don't tell me but think about it. Think about what you most wanna be doing right now. You can do anything you like in the whole room.

  [Van Pelt begins to look uncomfortable] 

  Patrick Jane : What are you gonna do? Now I want you to open your eyes and do it. Do whatever you like.

  [Rigsby opens his eyes. He looks around and chuckles. Van Pelt turns and moves away. Rigsby gets up, follows her, pulls her into his arms and kisses her passionately while the others look on] 

  Patrick Jane : Now that's what I'm talking about.

  Kimball Cho : Huh.

  Teresa Lisbon : OK, he's hypnotised.

• Teresa Lisbon : I thought you couldn't hypnotize somebody against his moral character.

  Patrick Jane : Rigsby has a brutal streak. If you didn't know, now you know. It's not an uncommon trait for those that choose to go into police work.

• Grace Van Pelt : [after Rigsby kisses Van Pelt under hypnotic suggestion]  Well, unhypnotize him.

  Patrick Jane : You sure?

  Grace Van Pelt : Do it!

• Wayne Rigsby : Did I make a fool of myself? Cluck like a chicken. I didn't do Tina Turner, did I?

  Grace Van Pelt : No. You were perfectly normal.

  [Van Pelt leaves] 

  Wayne Rigsby : Oh good. That's relief, eh?

  Patrick Jane : Coward!

• Wayne Rigsby : "Get what you want from whoever you want." Scam.

  Teresa Lisbon : Not to mention bad grammar.

  Carl Resnick : Neurolinguistic programming is not a scam. It's a science of willpower and persuasion. Communicating more deeply. A way to better your life.

  Wayne Rigsby : Yeah. Scam.

  Patrick Jane : Scam that can better your life.

• Patrick Jane : Oh, I'm impressed, Lindsay. There's not three people in the world that could have done an induction on a cop, but Rigsby's guard was up when he was with Dr. Daniel and Carl. And you? You just crept through the cracks, you sneaky little mouse.

• Patrick Jane : Uh, no. No suggestion in the world can make you do something against your moral character, against your true will. A hypnotized saint is still a saint. Not that he's a saint.

• Teresa Lisbon : Carl is still our prime suspect in this. We can't use him as bait.

  Patrick Jane : Well as long as don't lose him or break him, what's the problem?

• Patrick Jane : Are you on drugs, Mr., uh...

  Carl Resnick : Resnick. Carl Resnick. I don't do drugs. Crack is whack.

• Teresa Lisbon : This case is closed. You're just seeing suggestion everywhere, Jane. You're too suggestible.

  Patrick Jane : Hm.

  Teresa Lisbon : Oh, right, too much of a control freak for that?

  Wayne Rigsby : Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, pot.

• Patrick Jane : Hansel and Gretel had breadcrumbs, I had Rigsby. I knew he'd lead me to the guilty one, so I put a tracking device in his pocket. Bingo.

  Lindsay : Smart. Except for the part where I have the gun.

  Patrick Jane : [Lindsay aims said gun at him]  Oh, I have a gun, too. Lisbon?

  Teresa Lisbon : [approaching with her own gun drawn]  Drop the weapon!

  Teresa Lisbon : So predictable. Rick?

  Rick Tiegler : [approaching behind Lisbon with his own gun]  You should put the gun down now.

  Patrick Jane : Oh, for heaven's sake.

• Patrick Jane : [after Lisbon tackles someone]  Didn't like class?

  Teresa Lisbon : Cuffs.

  [Rigsby tosses her some handcuffs] 

  Teresa Lisbon : Looks like I caught the mystery hypnotist.

  Patrick Jane : Get what you want from who you want. NLP seems to work.

• Teresa Lisbon : We'd better go pick up Daniel.

  Patrick Jane : If we walk we can burn some case closed pizza calories.

  Teresa Lisbon : [Chuckles]  Cute.

• Patrick Jane : Didn't Rick Tiegler's black-out strike you as weird?

  Wayne Rigsby : Why? He got drunk, he blacked out, he killed someone. Who hasn't been there?

  [Chuckles awkwardly] 

  Wayne Rigsby : ... Kidding.

• Teresa Lisbon : [Rigsby assaults a suspect]  Damn it, Wayne, do you understand what you just did?

  Patrick Jane : [looking in Rigsby's eyes]  Oh, dear.

  Teresa Lisbon : What now?

  Patrick Jane : [waving a hand in front of Rigsby's face]  No. No, this...

  Teresa Lisbon : No. No way.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, 'fraid so. He's been hypnotized.

• Teresa Lisbon : We need to question everybody Rigsby interviewed at the NLP Center, and anyone else he talked to.

  Kimball Cho : It has to be Dr. Daniel, right? He's the only one with the chops to do this.

  Teresa Lisbon : Plus, he lied about sleeping with the victim.

  Patrick Jane : No, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why would he want Rigsby to smack his own face into a table?

  Kimball Cho : Although, why would anyone else want Rigsby to smack Daniel's face into a table?

  Patrick Jane : My guess? The smacking of the face into the table, unintended side effect of a deeper hypnotic command.

  Teresa Lisbon : Command to do what?

  Patrick Jane : There's the rub. Let's find out.
