Patrick Jane quotes from The Mentalist

Well, I've done my good deed for the day. If there's nothing else, I'll be getting along.

Lisbon

Just a few more questions.

Well, uh, could we do it on the walk? I've got to get back to running my religion.

Jane

Yes, your flock won't fleece itself.

Lisbon

Did you come here to gloat?

Jane

No. I can gloat from a distance.

Jane

I missed you.

Lisbon

[smiles] I missed you too.

Lisbon

[on seeing Braddock's house] Looks like somebody's in for a big inheritance.

Jane

Mm, I suppose, if you go for that sort of thing.

Lisbon

You mean money?

Jane

I'll take health any day. Once the game's over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box.

Lisbon

What did you do?

Jane

Nothing.

Lisbon

Eleven years in Catholic school and I never got sent to the principal's office once.

Jane

Well, that's because you're a boring, goody two shoes.

Lisbon

I didn't say I never did anything bad, I just never got caught.

Jane

[smiles] Touché.

Van Pelt

We've watched sixty hours of this footage. I think it's a dead end.

Jane

Patience, grasshopper.

Van Pelt

I am being patient.

Jane

There! Back that up. Can you grow that? Can you biggify it?

Van Pelt

[smiles] I can do a digital zoom.

Van Pelt

Hey, how did you know Billy was having an affair with the teacher?

Jane

They both had leaves on them from their make-out spot in the woods.

Van Pelt

And?

Jane

Plus, I could tell she liked him. She was meaner to him than the other kids. You know, like Lisbon is to me.

Lisbon

Shut up!

Jane

See?

Jane

I have to go.

Lisbon

Where?

Jane

I just had a thoughtless impulse or an inspired hunch. I'm not sure which. I'll let you know.

Lisbon

Well, Glenda's prints don't match any of the prints at the crime scene, and I did background checks on the drag queens. None of them stand out.

Jane

Don't let them hear you say that.

Jane

Is that a tear I see?

Lisbon

Yeah, right. Just keep watching.

Honey, this is, uh, Teresa Lisbon.

This is Teresa Lisbon? The Teresa Lisbon?

Jane

The one and only.

Lisbon

Wow. How many do you have?

Uh, we got Lauren, Maddy, and Sally.

Jane

[whistles] Wow. Breeder.

Jane

Well, Greg seems very nice.

Lisbon

I am not discussing this with you.

Jane

Nice, solid, dependable. I can see why you dumped him.

Lisbon

I mean it, Jane.

Jane

All right.

Lisbon

Seriously.

Jane

All right.

Lisbon

(beat) I didn't dump him. We both decided to take a break.

Jane

The old "let's take a break."

Lisbon

So, why didn't you let me in on your brilliant plan?

Jane

Oh, you were very busy with Greg.

Lisbon

I am never too busy to solve a murder.

Jane

Well, you seemed to be very busy with Greg.

Jane

Don't be wistful, Lisbon. Greg was never the right man for you.

Lisbon

I'm not wistful! And no, he wasn't.

Jane

You're far too intense and particular for a man like that.

Lisbon

Excuse me? Intense and particular? What is that supposed to mean?

Jane

Well, they're good things.

Lisbon

In what ways am I intense and particular?

Jane

Oh, please.

Lisbon

Tell me.

Jane

Well, what ever happened to that guy from narcotics?

Lisbon

Jeff?

Jane

Jeff.

Lisbon

Oh, he bit his nails.

Jane

See, that's particular.

Lisbon

That is not being particular, it's a disgusting habit!

Jane

There's intense.
