TV show quotes
So how was your week? [smiles as he watches Lisbon laugh] You should be in the hospital. What are you doing here?
I'm okay. You, on the other hand.
I'm okay too.
You killed an unarmed man in front of five hundred witnesses. You're not okay.
He had a gun. Someone must have taken it and switched the cell phone. It's the only possible explanation.
That or you went nuts for a moment.
Lisbon, look at me. I didn't go nuts.
I believe you.
So what did you do? Honestly.
He had a gun.
No. I mean how did you raise the bail money.
Oh. That. Murder for hire. Killed a snitch. Stabbed him in the kidneys.
You did not.
I did not. I won it at a card game, but I had you for a moment.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Well you've been shot. You're bound to have a gloomy outlook. Ignore your feelings.
So, what now?
Now? Well, tea would hit the spot.
No. I mean what now. What you've done, what you've set out to do. You got your vengeance. Do you feel different? Feel better?
No. I feel guilty.
Guilty? Why?
For deceiving the jury. I mean, I had no choice. Going to prison for murder would have been a victory for Red John.
What do you mean? Red John's dead.
Timothy Carter's dead. He was an evil man, but he wasn't Red John. Red John is still alive. Watch the road.
Listen, we've got a serious problem.
Yeah, I was really looking forward to a muffin.
My God. Why are you doing this? You were okay. All you had to do was keep your heads down.
We want to work for you.
Let me talk to Jane alone. [Van Pelt, Cho and Rigsby leave] I could kill you with my bare hands.
Well, it's not the first time. Come on. You don't have a choice. You do nothing they get fired. You work with me they keep their jobs. You might even get yours back.
Fine, but it's just you and me. They don't do anything else. What's the plan?
The plan is: we catch the killer. It's kind of obvious.
How'd you do it? Get Bertram to come around?
Oh it wasn't so hard. A rational discussion between two reasonable men.
[smiles knowingly] Rational discussion. I bet.
Mhmm. But, by all means, go ahead.
Excuse me?
Say it. I won't get embarrassed.
Say what? Oh! You mean say thank you?
Oh! You're welcome. Was it so hard?
The thing is, not dealing with you every day has been very restful for me. My back pain is gone. I sleep really well. I'm not so sure I'm grateful to be back.
You're a terrible liar. Good, honest people are always bad liars.
Which makes you what?
Cheer up.
Oh, I'm cheery.
You heard her. You gave her hope.
I didn't give her hope. I sold her hope.
I think hope is worth it at any price.
Are you running for office now?
Okay, you know what? You're a wicked charlatan and you're going to hell then.
That's more like it. I'll save you a seat by the fire.
Oh, I'm not going to hell.
You're not?
Nope.
You've made other arrangements, huh?
Mm-hmm.
I already told you I'm not getting involved.
We're not asking you to, ma'am. We just need you to cooperate.
It doesn't matter what you need! I don't trust you and I'm not going to help!
If you quit now you're going to miss the best part: payback.
What are you talking about?
A few months ago I had a fiance. He tried to kill me.
You're lying.
Look, everybody thought he was the greatest guy, including me. Then he pulled a gun on me.
What did you do?
I shot him.
Dead.
[To Tibbs] Hey. How you doing. You're under arrest, for the attempted murder of...everybody.
You know that psychopathy test I gave Tibbs? I figured out why it didn't work. See, it's a rating scale based on observation, so the more time you spend with the subject the more accurately you can then observe their behavioral traits, and guess what I've been doing?
[smiles] Oh, you haven't.
Glibness and superficial charm. Check.
You flatter me.
Grandiose sense of self worth. You betcha. Cunning and manipulative. Poor behavior controls. Failure to accept responsibility for actions. So I cross-referenced all of my observations with your history as a thief and conartist and, uh, congratulations, Jane. According to the score you are a clinical psychopath.
Wow. Well, that certainly explains a lot.
Now I know what I'm dealing with, so I'll adjust accordingly.
[smiles] As you should.
Everything all right?
Yeah. I like our new boss. I think we'll work very well together. Would you like some tea?
I'm tired. I'm going to go home.
I made a pot.
All right. I'll take one to go.
I heard you got your man.
As did you. Nice work.
Do you think I'm an anti-social personality?
Yeah, sure. Who isn't?
Beautiful, isn't it?
For a crime scene, yeah.
Listen, about before at the office with Sarah. I just --
Oh, yeah. Congratulations. She seems nice.
Yeah. I just don't want it to be awkward between --
[laughs] With me? That's the least of your problems.
What does that mean?
Well, she's a public defender. I mean, good luck, but be careful.
Lisbon's niece; sharp girl.
I guess.
Good questions.
Yeah.
Do you love her?
Annabell?
Your girlfriend Sarah.
Oh, right.
So?
I guess I don't see why it matters if I love her or not.
Uh oh.
Look, we have a good time together. We enjoy each other's company. I look forward to seeing her. Isn't that enough? Why worry about it?
Trust me, she's worrying about it.
I just think if you start talking like that you're going to get hurt. I'm not sure I even know what that means? I love you? I mean, what does that say, really?
I don't know, Wayne. My last relationship didn't exactly end well. I'm probably not the best person to ask right now.
Fair enough.
