Hightower quotes from The Mentalist

Teresa, not saying something doesn't mean that something isn't happening.

I guess it's your way of saying you're unhappy with how I'm handling Lisbon.

Jane

We spend a lot of time together, and when she's unhappy I'm less happy. It's human nature.

Yes, it is. I'll tell you what, Patrick. Why don't you let me handle my business my way and judge me by the results, and I'll let you handle yours your way. Up to a point.

Jane

That sounds fair. Up to a point.

Jane

Judge Fitzwilliam will change her tune once I reveal her daughter's killer, won't she?

I don't imagine she will. When are you planning on doing that?

Jane

This very evening.

This very night?

Jane

But you have to trust me.

Lisbon

Right, and what if you're wrong again?

Jane

Well, if I'm wrong then we're in deep trouble, but what are the chances, really, of me being wrong twice in a row. Think about that one. Of course, if either of you have a better idea how to find Abby's body and catch her killer, please: these are not taxi doors, they're ears.

Hey. So, I just talked to Judge Fitzwilliam.

Jane

And?

And she says if you will apologize for the cavalier method in which you disrupted her mother's burial she will not pursue disciplinary action against you, Lisbon or myself.

Jane

Hmm. Tell her Jane says she is a self righteous embittered, old bat and she should thank me.

Oh God, Jane, please.

[surprising both Hightower and Jane] You're right, Mr. Jane. I came here for an apology, but I realize now I was wrong to stand on my dignity. I am embittered, and your arrogant, callous, juvenile behavior did reveal he truth after all, so thank you. Thank you very much. Good evening to you.

Jane

Sorry.

Jane

Hey, Lisbon.

Jane

No, Hightower! I didn't even know you had legs.

Let's go. What were you doing back there?

Jane

Five-card draw.

For money?!

Jane

No! For gold.

Oh, gold, gold. That makes it all right, then.

Jane

You're really committed to keeping your temper contained, huh. What's up with that?

You're really committed to testing my temper, huh. What's up with that?

Jane

Idle curiosity. [Wes Atwood emerges from his store and Jane ducks down and hugs Hightower]

What - What are you doing?

Jane

I'm hiding from Wes Atwood.

Why?

Jane

Because we're gonna follow him.

Thanks for not asking questions.

Jane

Oh, no need to ask questions when you know all the answers.

Jane

Is he dead?

Yes.

Jane

You know, I should applaud your bravery but I gotta say...practically speaking, what were you thinking? You could have killed me.

I'm sorry. I got mad. I didn't know what I was thinking.

Jane

That was some good shooting though. That leg shot that took him down was very precise.

[smirks]: I was aiming for his head.

Jane

Oh, fantastic.

Jane

I'm better off alone.

Nobody is better off alone.

[as Jane catches her smoking] What?

Jane

I didn't say anything.

You were thinking it. Mentalizing me.

Jane

You can tell?

I can read it on your face. So stop.

Jane

Well, if you can read it on my face, then you're mentalizing me, so you stop. [Hightower sighs] No, on second thought, keep going. What am I thinking?

Please go away, Jane.

Jane

No, that's wrong. Try again.

You risked a lot for me.

Jane

Well, not for you entirely.

I understand. Still, thank you for getting me out of that building and back to my family.

Jane

And thank you for not shooting me in the face. No one can know about this. This has to stay between you and me.

Jane, you should at least tell Lisbon what's going on—

Jane

Nobody. He's too smart that way. He'll sense a trap. You're better off alone.

Nobody is better off alone.
