Stiles quotes from The Mentalist

Farragut was a dreamer. Dreamers are useful in their way, but we don't live in dreams, do we? We live in the here and the now.

Van Pelt

Did you kill him?

You've killed, haven't you; someone who mattered to you, who hurt you. Did you enjoy it?

Van Pelt

No.

Really? I'm told it gives the feeling of great perspective, like waking from a dream.

Van Pelt

It changes you.

Did you friends notice?

Van Pelt

A little, but I think it freaks them out.

Of course. They don't have the imagination or the vocabulary to converse with you about it. You know, you're like a little bird that fell out of the nest, but you don't need the nest. You need to fly, and that I can teach you.

[after having watched the confession of a murderer] Thank you for letting me watch this.

Van Pelt

No problem. Visualizing my anger works really well. I'm just returning the favor.

There's so much more that I could teach you.

Van Pelt

Really?

To be free of doubt, anger, fear. Let me show you the world as you've never seen it. Let me show you you as you've never seen yourself.

Van Pelt

Great sales pitch, but I'm sort of over bad boys these days. [kisses his cheek] Thanks anyway. [walks away]

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.
