What's your normal procedure?
After lovemaking? Depends on the type of woman.
So you've got it down to a science?
I'm good at what I do.
Okay, Mr. Fricke, and what is it that you do?
I'm a pickup artist. A woman whisperer, if you will.
A pickup artist? That's your profession?
You sound like my mom. Um, it's more of a total lifestyle kind of thing, you know. I practice my art, of course. That's my passion. But I teach and I blog, also. Conduct seminars, workshops, that sort of thing.
[Lisbon nudges Jane, who is lying on the CBI couch, hard]
What?
You know damn well what. You assaulted a man.
I just tweaked him on the nose.
Technically, that's assault.
Technically, he's an ass. He deserved it.
[observing Cho] Kid's a natural. Look at him. The Cho. No business like Cho business.
Can't sleep alone, huh?
Some people use cocoa and a good book. I use beautiful women.
When did you first meet Paul Fricke?
At a wine tasting event a friend was throwing.
And how long were you and he romantically involved?
Um, three, maybe four hours.
[about Mr. Wolcutt] He's also the type that would hire other people to do his dirty work.
Yes, he is. Hitmen aren't cheap and they don't take credit cards.
You didn't steal jewelery from her?
Please. She dresses like a Mormon call girl. I wouldn't wear her jewelery if you paid me.
There's something on this side of the room you don't want us to find. What is that?
Nothing. There's nothing.
Look me in the eye and say that.
Whatever. Search all you want.
Nah. Too much stuff. Not very tidy. Good in bed, I expect, yeah? Messy women make good lovers.
What was she thinking? She was so beautiful and he's so creepy.
Yeah, Dr. Rubenstein was hot, too. How does he do it?
All you need is a basic understanding of the evolutionary psychology of women. Rigorously and fearlessly applied. You get to know what buttons to press.
Like we're toasters?
Like men don't have buttons, too?
Men are like toasters. Women...little more like accordions.
I say we bring him in anyway for creepiness.
Which should be a criminal offense but it isn't.
Do you keep a list of your pick-ups?
Yeah, of course. I have it here. Names, numbers and a one to 10 grading system.
Nice. Something to show your grandkids.
Jill Rubenstein, what's your connection with her?
The doctor lady? I met her in the parking lot and asked her for help.
A complete stranger takes you to her room, treats your wound and then has sexual intercourse with you?
What can I say? The Hippocratic oath is a beautiful thing.
I can make one phone call and your career is toast.
[decidedly unimpressed] That's impressive. The best I can get with one call is a pizza.
[He looks Fricke straight in the eyes] Do you know who killed Claire?
[Emphatically] No.
Interesting. He is either a habitual liar telling the truth, or he's an honest man lying.
