- Patrick Jane: Two years ago, I hired a petty thief to break into LaRoche's safe for a list of Red John suspects.
- Teresa Lisbon: Yeah, I know. I had to slug the guy in front of his lawyer to keep you out of jail. Cost me six months in anger management.
- Patrick Jane: Yeah, and I hope you learned something.
- [Lisbon hits Jane]
- Teresa Lisbon: Why don't you just ask LaRoche what's in the box?
- Patrick Jane: He's not gonna tell me voluntarily. It's embarrassing to him and deeply personal.
- Teresa Lisbon: And it's in Tupperware?
- Patrick Jane: Yes!... How could you not want to investigate?
- J.J. LaRoche: Whatever happens, I want to thank you for trying to help me.
- Patrick Jane: Well, truth is, you're a hard man not to help, LaRoche. You're like a Shar-Pei puppy that's rolled onto its back. You have to rub its belly.
- J.J. LaRoche: You're mocking me.
- Patrick Jane: No, no, I'm happy to rub your belly.
- J.J. LaRoche: That won't be necessary.
- Patrick Jane: I hope not.
- Patrick Jane: I didn't take it.
- J.J. LaRoche: I know that, Patrick. It's your favorite blackmail device. Your puppet mastery over me ends if... Its contents becomes public knowledge.
- Patrick Jane: I never thought of you as a puppet.
- J.J. LaRoche: You ever thought of me as a friend?
