I love playing with you, Gale. I can read you like a kids' book.
GBGale Bertram
Yeah, yeah. Just pick up your chips.
MManchester
Goodnight, Moon.
“Red In Tooth And Claw” · Season 5, Episode 14
In this episode: Patrick Jane (3), Kimball Cho (3), Wayne Rigsby (3), Teresa Lisbon (2)
There you are.
We should come by sometime when there's not a corpse here to meet us.
BBertram
See? I know how to play poker.
Of course you do.
BBertram
You play the man, not the cards. I know the odds, I know myself.
You know people, you know how to control them. Not that you always care.
BBertram
What does that mean?
Well, you win more flies with honey than with vinegar, but you use vinegar anyway.
BBertram
Is this about Lisbon?
You're very fond of the fake tell, aren't you? Before you bet you look away and you breath out very slowly, like you're trying to calm yourself.
BBertram
Yes.
Well, you have a tell inside the fake tell. When you're bluffing, the breathing is audible.
BBertram
The hell it is. I-I control myself.
You get yourself a good hand and puff away like that, Manchester will for sure think you're bluffing. Trust me.
How can you like Triceratops more than [in a deep voice] T. Rex?
T. Rex are losers. Little arms. It's a big chicken with teeth.
Yeah, and Triceratops is basically a pig with horns.
And a shield on its head. Beats a giant chicken any day of the week.
Ha ha, in your dreams. What did Jane want?
He wants us back at the museum.
What are we gonna do?
Museum heist.
Why?
I stopped asking questions a long time ago. Come on.
[Rigsby and Cho exit the elevator]
...And some scientists think the T. Rex could run up to 45 miles an hour. That's apex predator. You know what that means?
Yes.
That means they're top of the food chain. They eat everything.
So?
So... T. Rex beats Triceratops. I win.
You went home last night and Googled dinosaurs, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
You have no life. I win.
[Rigsby sets down a cup of coffee on Van Pelt's desk]
I owe her from yesterday.
She's on her way to the airport.
Oh. Yeah, for that White Hat thing. I thought there was no money for that.
Lisbon fixed it.
Oh. Would have been nice to say good-bye.
Yeah, well, cowards don't get to say good-bye when they want.
Cowa— wow. Where'd that come from? You calling me a coward?
Yep.
How so?
How long have you been pretending you're not in love with Van Pelt?
Who says I'm in love with Van Pelt? I was once, a long time ago, but not anymore. We're just... We're just... good friends.
You're a coward and terrible liar. [walks away]
Uh, says you. "Coward." What does he know about relationships? [shouting after Cho] Yeah, well, you date pregnant hookers and your— your dinosaur eats grass!
Morning.
Good morning! We're gonna be short-staffed for a while. Van Pelt's off to L.A. Thank you.
Adult education's a beautiful thing. Uh, speaking of which, uh... I've upset the ecosystem of the poker game.
I think you've been spending too much time at the museum. "Upset the ecosystem"?
Bertram's now a better poker player because of me. The ecosystem has changed. You need to adapt or die.
Who says I need the help?
Don't try to razzle dazzle me. Money talks.
What do we use for stakes? You can't play poker without stakes.
Oh, I have that covered. [lining up dinosaur fruit snacks on the table] Herbivores are worth one, carnivores are worth five.
Okay.
Deal.
What do you got?
All in.
You're bluffing. I call.
Really?
[Jane displays his hand, a pair of aces]
Okay, are you cheating?
No.
Wha—
I'm gonna smoke you.
