A lot of people today don't know who the heck they are. A man without knowledge of his roots is like a cabbage in this society.

Hello Lisbon. What a great day to not be blown up.
Give it up now.
What?
What you took from Bajoran's house.
[Jane looks blankly at Lisbon]
The toupee, Jane, the housekeeper called.
Oh.
[Jane throws Lisbon the toupee]
That's just gross! Why would you take it?
Evidence.
Of what?
Bad taste.
[Jane just guessed something about Mashburn.]
I do! How do you know?
Pupil dilation.
Pupil dilation?!
Yes. When someone see something that they want, their pupils dilate.
Pupil dilation... [stares at Lisbon] It's fantastic!
[glances at Mashburn's eyes, then at Lisbon's] Yes, it is. [Lisbon smiles]
What about you, Walter? Last year you said you'd do anything for a thrill.
What do you have in mind?
[Shots are fired at them]
Get down!
Thrilling enough for you, Walter?
But if it was him, wouldn't he have hired better assassins?
Okay, is there anybody else who might want to kill you?
I have lots of enemies, Teresa. You know, you'd be surprised to hear this, but some people find me annoying.
Ladies and gentlemen, quick announcement: I'd like you to give a very warm welcome to Walter's new girlfriend, number one - Teresa Lisbon.
So my friends say because you saved me that means you own me.
They have a return policy?
I upset you?
Upset me? No. Irritate me a litte? Maybe.
Why?
You're egotistical. You're arrogant. You're entitled and rich.
When do you get to the bad stuff?
Can't believe I'm a one night stand for Dirty Harry.
Yeah, well, I'd leave you cab fare, but you've probably got that covered.
Uh, uh, $90,000?
AAuctioneer
That's $90,000 for lot 10. And I see $100,000 from the woman in red. $110,000? Do I hear $110,000? $110,000, and $120,000? [Jane bids $120,000] $120,000. Thank you. $120,000.
$150,000. [to the woman next to him] Never was any good at math.
AAuctioneer
I've got $150,000 from the gentleman in the vest. How about $160,000? $160,000. [the woman in red bids] $160,000 is bid. How about $170,000? I've got $170,000, and $180,000. And the gentleman in the front row, $180,000 is your bid, sir. You've got the bid at $180,000. $190,000?
Can we move this thing along? $200,000.
AAuctioneer
And $200,000 from our enthusiastic friend in the back. Do I hear $210,000?
WIWoman in red dress
Nice day for it, huh?
Ah, yes.
WIWoman in red dress
And whose interests do you represent?
Well, that's supposed to be confidential, isn't it, but what the heck? Walter Mashburn.
AAuctioneer
$230,000 if you wish, sir. $230,000?
$230,000. $230,000. Do we have $240,000?
AAuctioneer
Uh, sir—
$240,000. Do we have $240,000?
AAuctioneer
$240,000.
$240,000, we have $240,000 right here. And we also have $250,000. I know that because I am bidding it. Do we have $260,000?
AAuctioneer
Hey, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
$260,000? Come on, ma'am, you can do $260,000. I know you can.
AAuctioneer
Uh, sir?
Let's go! What about you, sir?
AAuctioneer
We have $250,000.
No. I want the thing for $260,000. Can I have it?
AAuctioneer
Yes.
Thank you.

Teresa, not saying something doesn't mean that something isn't happening.
You're looking a little creaky.
Yeah, a cattle prod will do that to you.
The doctor says there's no lasting effects.
Well, that doctor should try it himself sometime. [watches as Lisbon smiles] That was a big smile.
Of course I'm glad you're back. I'm also glad we solved one without you.
You were kidnapped and delivered to me. That counts as solving one?
Hightower and the team found us.
But if I hadn't held off Rachel, they would have found us dead in a burned out house.
Oh, you held off Rachel?
Yes.
Where's my apple?
Your what?
My apple. I asked you to get me an apple.
I come through the valley of death and all you can think about is your stomach. A piece of fruit.
That's right.
An apple.
Yes.
That's just plain selfish.
Selfish. Me: selfish.
Yes, it is. You're on my couch. I'm trying to have a cup of tea. Have you finished? You called me creaky. I've been cattle prodded all week. I just want to have a rest and a cup of tea and a little sleep.
[sigh] Oh, I wish I had a cattle prod.

Rest assured, I won't be pulling any vigilante nonsense.
I'm very sorry for your loss, and I'm glad you see it that way. There's no upside to taking the law into your own hands. Revenge truly doesn't work.
Well that's just a sweeping statement, isn't it? I'm sure we can all think of examples where revenge has worked splendidly.
Thanks for your input.
Just saying.
Examples where revenge worked splendidly. Nice.
I was just teasing. A little hypocritical to lecture him on revenge, don't you think?
How's that?
Uh, all these years you've been helping me seek revenge?
Well that's different.
How's that?
I'm in control of the situation.
Oh, really.
What do you mean, "you're in control of the situation"?
When the day comes when we find Red John, I'm gonna be there to stop you from doing anything foolish. We're gonna put him in front of a judge and a jury.
You really believe that?
Yes, I do.
Really? I just assumed you took that judge and jury stuff with a grain of salt.
Well, you assumed wrong. No salt.
You know the reality will be different. Red John is mine, and I will exact my revenge on him.
I think when the time comes, you'll see that violence is not the answer.
I had no idea your naïve idealism was so deeply felt.
