[about Jane] Who is this guy?
He's a pain in the ass, but he's making sense.
S1 E13Paint it Red
If we're lucky, we'll find a murder weapon. It was obviously a well-planned robbery.
Why is that obvious?
Nobody finds themselves in a locked room full of old masters in the middle of the night by accident, do they? So, well-planned.
You better call Lisbon, give her an update.
You call her.
I can't. I'm driving. Cho?
No way.
Oh, come on, guys. I just robbed a Russian mobster. You can't call Lisbon?
Where's everyone?
Weird. They all called in to sign out. Jane wasn't feeling well, Rigsby's got a hot date, and Cho got Kings tickets.
Son of a...
What?
Jane doesn't get sick, Rigsby's not on a date because he's in love with you, and the Kings aren't playing tonight.
You know about that?
Yeah, they're on an East Coast road trip. They're playing the Knicks tomorrow night.
No, I mean about Rigsby. How do you know about that?
Everybody knows about that. The attorney general knows that.
Just follow procedure. Have fun!
Where is the fun in that?
You and Miss Duane came up here to have sex in the boss's office.
FFrank
That is absurd. Why would I do such a stupid thing?
Because it's forbidden and thus very sexy, of course, especially if you have father issues. And who doesn't? It's furtive but powerful challenge to the paternal authority.
S1 E14Crimson Casanova
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?
WWoman
At a wine tasting event a friend was throwing.
And how long were you and he romantically involved?
WWoman
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?
NNatalie
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?
NNatalie
Nothing. There's nothing.
Look me in the eye and say that.
NNatalie
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.
