TV show quotes
Be fair. Not all the Doctors are cold and creepy.
First day in Medical School they get a stack of books and a dead human being. That, I'm afraid, would change you. Brooke Harper was warm and emotional.
You like her so she can't be a Doctor.
Pretty much.
CBI! CBI! Like that's supposed to mean something!
Yeah, we do need better brand awareness.
I hate the woods.
Would you rather be playing desk jockey with Van Pelt right now?
Who sends their kids to a place like this? It's not cheap either.
A little deprivation and discipline is good for the soul.
Yeah, but this is like a juvie prison camp.
No. This is like spring break in Cancun compared to juvie.
Wait, you were in juvenile hall? Seriously?
Yeah, didn't you read my file?
No. Wait, did you read mine?
Of course.
I hope you got something useful for all the trouble you caused.
Yes, I did. The story of the mad axeman Zachariah, who lives in these here woods.
Ah, Z.
Yes, Z. I would have gotten more, but you came back too quickly.
Reality check. I'm your supervising agent. I'm not your decoy.
Do you have any actual facts?
Well, it's an actual fact that you dislike Mr. MacLean here because he's a tree-hugging, liberal wacko who's probably running some kind of a cult. And he dislikes you because you're a small-minded, provincial hayseed. Not that you are necessarily. That's just what he thinks.
[One of the students has gone missing]
We should start looking in the woods around the school.
Oh, that sounds horribly tedious. Shout if you need me.
Go ahead, relax. Enjoy yourself. God forbid you should do anything tedious.
Who's Zachariah?
Who?
Zachariah?
Never heard of him. Who is he?
Liar.
Liar?
Pants on fire. They're ablaze.
I wanna cooperate with you people, but this man is trying to...I don't know what he's trying to do, but I resent it.
Excuse me, what kind of tree is this?
Couldn't say.
Smells good. So you're not a local?
Born five miles down the road, just don't give a crap about trees.
I think you might show a little more respect.
Respect for...?
There's a dead child here.
Yes, yes, he's dead. He doesn't care how I talk to you.
Why so cruel?
Statistically, it's dad that did it.
Since when do you care about statistics?
Just wanted to raise his pulse a little.
Do you always follow your husband's lead? Do you never struggle against his desire to control?
Excuse me?
Just because you drink too much doesn't mean you don't have a say. I should think he's at least half the reason you drink in the first place. Yeah? A good man, but cold, pious.
You know, possession of that badge does not excuse you from acting with human decency.
[Jane is interrogating a suspect]
Please understand something. I have a very personal interest in this case. I'll do whatever it takes. I will have you framed for murder. I will torture you, I will kill you myself if I have to.
[Lisbon and Minelli are listening on the other side of the glass]
Geez, Lisbon. Come on, this is on tape. Control your man there.
Cut him some slack. Look, he's just playing the guy. He doesn't mean it.
Doesn't he? You know what Red John does to him. He can't think straight. He would do all that he said and more if you let him.
I won't let him.
If we catch Red John, he's not walking anywhere. He's mine.
Don't talk like that. I can't let you anywhere near this case if you start talking crazy like that.
Crazy? You're crazy if you think you're gonna stop me. Red John is mine. You try to stand in my way and you will regret it.
Are you threatening me?
No, I'm just saying that if you stand in my way you--
[interrupting] I've had it with your egotistical crap. This isn't about justice or the law. This is about you and your wounded pride. I'm done with it.
We still have Hardy, okay? He's gonna tell us what we need to know.
Oh, you think so? You should have waited. We agreed on that.
What if Hardy had killed you right here?
He would have led you straight to Red John.
You'd be dead.
But you would have Red John.
I don't think you mean what you say. I think you'd choose life.
Well, you think wrong.
No. No, you think wrong. Can't you see there's people who care about you? Who need you? You're being selfish and childish and I want you to stop it.
I wish that I could, but, you know, some things you just can't fix.
[Bosco has been given the Red John case]
What do you know about the case?
Not much. He's a serial killer, 15 victims, including your wife and child. I can imagine your pain. Maybe that pain is clouding your judgment.
Well... [He leaves the room]
And me, Sam? What's clouding my judgment?
Good question. You tell me.
