So it's over.
Yeah, it's over.
That's too bad. It was fun.
Yeah. How you gonna top that thrill?
Maybe next time I'll be the killer.

You play mind games with people, you size up their weaknesses and then you give them the rope to hang themselves.
You make it sound so cool.
Okay, I am not jealous and resentful. That is nonsense.
Yet you recall my exact words. There's no shame in it. I feel that way too sometimes. Why does everyone else get to have a normal life?
My life is fine.
Normally you rise above such craven emotions but in this case your hands were tied. It's the rules. You're forced to do what your worst self is telling you to do anyway. Hence your tension headache.
I don't... (Jane gives her a look) All right. I do have a headache, but it's a coincidence.
Nah.
Either I obey the rules or I risk taking big heat for ignoring them. This is on Van Pelt and Rigsby, not me.
Whatever you say.
Jeff Sparhawk has no alibi.
You can dispense the cop talk, Lisbon. You can tell me what's bothering you.
Nothing's bothering me.
Okay.
Nothing is bothering me.
I understand your position. There's no reason to beat yourself up about it.
What are you talking about?
Well, that you feel bad about Rigsby and Van Pelt.
No I don't.
Well, you can't help wondering if there's a hint of jealousy and resentment in your decision.
Excuse me?
Message received.

[sees Jane, who is reading on the couch] I thought he'd look scarier.
He's resting.
Who is this "KS," by the way?
Gang leader. Bad guy.
What did you do to make him mad?
I shot him.
That'll do it.
S2 E15Red Herring
Where are my key?
[Jane holds up her keys]
You picked my pocket!
My turn to drive.
Jane!
Oh, don't be such an old lady. Get in. Your fears are groundless.
You're right. The car has airbags
It's okay. She's gone.
Who's gone?
Oh please, your guilty conscience is obvious and well deserved.
Man. Justice can be a harsh mistress.
S2 E16Code Red
Hey, Van Pelt. I need you to do background checks on Cliff Edmunds, Lilith Nash, Griffin Lattimer Welks, Julian Eric Tripp. I'm sending you their details now.
Anything we should be looking out for in particular?
Oh. One of them released a lethal super-virus that could kill half the state of California, so I guess we're looking for someone with a prior background of an evil supervillian.
Okay.
That last part was a joke.
I apologize for my colleague.
No, she doesn't! I retract that apology.
You know what made me feel better? Punching you in the nose.
[smiles] Glad to be of service.
S2 E17The Red Box
What are you looking for?
The dirt under his nails smelled like rosemary. [finds a planter of rosemary which fits a jewelry box found at the scene] Whatever was inside this box killed our man.
Well. The case is practically closed.
There's no reason to be snarky.
S2 E18Aingavite Baa
I guess it's your way of saying you're unhappy with how I'm handling Lisbon.
We spend a lot of time together, and when she's unhappy I'm less happy. It's human nature.
Yes, it is. I'll tell you what, Patrick. Why don't you let me handle my business my way and judge me by the results, and I'll let you handle yours your way. Up to a point.
That sounds fair. Up to a point.
S2 E19Blood Money
Catching killers I enjoy, but being reminded that we're just a cog in a petty, fascist machine? That is a little depressing.
Crime fighting is hard. Suck it up.
