Bosco quotes from The Mentalist

Jane

What do you know about the case?

Not much. He's a serial killer, 15 victims, including your wife and child. I can imagine your pain. Maybe that pain is clouding your judgment.

Jane

Well... [He leaves the room]

Lisbon

And me, Sam? What's clouding my judgment?

Good question. You tell me.

Jane

Well, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not happy I'm off the Red John case. You might be right. Here's the thing Sam, if I may. I know this case. I can be a very good resource for you if we could just come to some kind of understanding.

You want me to keep you up-to-date on the case?

Jane

Yeah... sure.

Tell you about fresh leads and so?

Jane

Yeah, let's just keep an open line of communication.

Let me communicate this to you. You're a party entertainer. A clown. Fresh leads? I wouldn't tell you where the bathroom is if your ass was on fire.

Jane

[laughs]

Do we have a good understanding now?

Jane

I understand you. It may take you some time to understand me.

You're filled with equal parts of self-loathing and self-love. You're addicted to control, you're terrified of confinement. Your wife wanted you to quit psychic trade. She begged you to stop. But you were making too much money, you were having too much fun, you can still hear her pleading with you. How am I doing?

Jane

You read the interviews in my case file. You can read. Very impressive.

Look, Patrick. I'm sorry for being so blunt with you. You're not a detective. You're a victim. (leaves)

You know, for a cop, you made a very convincing lunatic. Jane must be proud.

Lisbon

Maybe it's not good police work, but I have to confess, I enjoyed it. Letting loose for once.

Look, I'm glad you got cleared.

Lisbon

I'm sorry that we couldn't let you in on the plan.

You could have, but you didn't.

I've got to get back to the Westlake's.

Lisbon

I'd like to come with, if that's all right. I'd like to ask the Westlake's some questions about the dead guy, see if there's a connection.

Okay.

Lisbon

[to Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt] Start digging on the Hangler case. Contact the family and set up an interview.

And I'd like to leave Hicks here to work with your team, if that's all right with you.

Lisbon

Okay.

Keep 'em honest.

Lisbon

Hey. Care to reframe that, Sam?

No. They're Jane's people. They need watching.

Lisbon

I like to think of them as my people.

Think what you like. I can't have them trying to pull some cheap stunt behind my back.

Jane

Well we have a whole range of expensive stunts if you don't like the cheap ones.

We came in hot because we thought the kidnap victim was there.

Mia...somebody?

Mia Westlake. Marin County heiress. She was taken a day and half ago. Witness gave us a partial plate on the kidnapper's car. We dug up an outstanding parking ticket to a car in Oakland. Checked the address. Found there were people inside a house that was supposed to be empty.

And he found you there because?

Lisbon

Ah, we got a call from the coroner's bureau. There was a report of a corpse in a house, but they were short handed. Budget cuts. So they asked us to go and check it out. My team went in the house, the corpse was there but the coroner wasn't. So we waited.

And everyone almost died in a hail of bullets.

Jane

She alright?

Lisbon

Yeah.

Thank God.

Jane

Well, thank kevlar actually.

Lisbon

Hush!

Lisbon

You lost a lot of blood. They don't think you're going to make it!

Then I have to say this! I love you, Theresa!

Lisbon

(blushes and whispers) I love you too!

(thinking that she thinks he means as friends) No, I LOVE you!

Lisbon

(starts crying as she squeezes) I know what you mean!
