Volker quotes from The Mentalist

She left a suicide note, you know? Via e-mail.

Lisbon

You will not get away with this. I promise.

You have no idea what's happening at all, do you? Enjoy your job while you still have it, Teresa.

Agent Lisbon.

Lisbon

What do you want, Mr. Volker?

Brass tacks. I like that. As I'm sure you're aware, I run a very successful business worth billions of dollars. You wanna know my secret? Transparency. Honesty. Open lines of communication. It's the way I do business.

Lisbon

What's your point?

If you wanted my financial records, all you had to do was ask for them. I got nothing to hide. You found nothing, right?

Lisbon

Why? Is there something you're worried about?

Next time... just ask. You look good. You've been working out.

Lisbon

Get out of my office.

Have a lovely day, Agent Lisbon.

Jane

Mr. Volker. Patrick Jane. I work with Teresa Lisbon.

Ah, yes. Mr. Jane. Nice to meet you. Any friend of Teresa's... She's a—she's a fascinating woman, isn't she?

Jane

Certainly. Well, that was impressive. Not only are you a super-successful businessman, but you're quite the vivid storyteller. For a moment there, I was splashing around in that puddle with Spike, growing some gills.

Is there something you needed?

Jane

Need? No. I just wanted to meet you while I have the chance.

Are you going somewhere?

Jane

No. But you are. After your arrest, things are bound to get a little hectic, and I probably won't have the chance to introduce myself. So here I am.

Very droll. But you and I both know that I'm not going to be arrested.

Jane

You sure about that?

I'm looking for Agent Lisbon.

Cho

Boss.

Lisbon

What are you doing here?

Such hostility. And here I thought we were mending fences.

Lisbon

Answer the question.

I came to ask you to drop this ridiculous investigation. I hate to see an officer of the law humiliated like this.

Lisbon

Cho, will you show Mr. Volker out of here?

Cho

Gladly.

I'm only looking out for your best interests.

Jane

No, you're not. You want us to think that you're gloating, but you're not. You're afraid.

Afraid?

Jane

Yeah.

Well, this certainly is a strange way of showing it.

Jane

I can see right through you. We were close, searching your offices like that. Too close. You want us to think that you're in control, that you're untouchable. But you're not. You're afraid of us. And you should be.
