TV show quotes
Ah well done.
Good job, when do we get her back?
The judge said we can pick her up from County Jail tomorrow.
Did Mancini really throw a bottle at you?
Yes he did. And then he procedeed to chase me through the State House. But failed to catch me.
Congratulations, another mortal enemy made. You shoul be very proud.
Look, I'm sorry by the way.
For what? There's a long list of possibilities.
Well, it's just some general apologies. Use it for your top issue.
Thanks.
I had a daughter named Charlotte.
I know..
No. No you don't. Who put you up to this? Red John?
Red John, Red John, Red John. I'm so over Red John!
You are not my daughter. My daughter was murdered. I found her body.
You are safe, you are loved and you are wise.
Who told you those words?
You did. Every night when you tucked me in the bed.
What happened to you? I've been dead for ten years and you're still stuck in neutral. You have no life, just this endless obsession. Red John, Red John. Mom would not be happy.
Well, my relationship with your mother is... it's my business. Show a little respect.
Hello? I'm a figment of your imagination. Show yourself some respect.
This is what I've missing out? All these years? When you're gonna go to college again?
Look at you, you can't even be real with someone who doesn't even exist. Does anyone know who you are?
Yes.
Who? Come on, who?
Lisbon.
[Jane gets into his car to realise Charlotte is there]
Still here.
You're still tripping.
It would seem so.
You really shouldn't be driving. And you especially should not be driving an ambulance.
[looks around to see that he's actually in an ambulance] Well that was some strong tea...[sees Lisbon approaching] Oh-oh.
Now you're stealing an ambulance!
No! I'm just admiring the interior. Wicked GPS. How much you think one of these rigs goes for?
You need bed rest!
I need to go back to the crime scene.
What's her story? She have a boyfriend?
Be quiet.
I didn't say anything.
I was talking to the hallucination.
In bed. Now.
When I was in the victim's kitchen I made a break through in the case. At least I thought I did. That's about when the wacky tea kicked in.
Fine, I will have Van Pelt come down here with crime scene photos.
Not the same, I have to be there. Hallucinations are part of the subconscious, mine could be clues.
We'll go when you're lucid!
When I'm lucid I could forget everything. But right now, let me tell you, right now my visions are very very real.
In other words, you wanna use drugs to solve a case.
Some great minds did their best work on hallucinogens.
Now you have a great mind?
Uhuh! I like her!
Oh you're funny. Double act, huh?
Jane, you're scaring me.
Teresa, you can call me Patrick. Drugs is not the path I would choose, but it's been chosen for me, so I must stay the course. Please, I implore you, take me back to the crime scene.
Last thing I remember was admiring this beautiful butterfly right here.
Real or imagine?
Real, I think. Then I heard a bang in that pot there on the stove.
What was in the pot?
A rabbit.
Like that rabbit?
Yeah, just like that. But my rabbit was real with a diamond necklace.
That is some hallucinogen.
She's kinda cute. Have you guys ever..?
You be quiet.
I liked the other workshop better.
Shh.
This is dull. Why do you work for the CBI anyway?
You know why. To catch Red John.
Okay. Whatever.
What does that mean? "Okay. Whatever."?
Well to be honest your obsession is a little creepy and weird, you know.
What? I do it all for you. And your mom.
Yeah. I hate to be the one who breaks it to you dad, but... there's nothing that you can do for us. We don't give a damn what happens to Red John. I mean, we're dead. Gone. You need to start dealing with that.
I deal with that every day.
Maybe that's the problem.
Hang on, where are you going?
Hello? I'm practically a grown woman, I don't need to tell you where I'm going.
No, yeah, I-I know. You're coming back?
I love you dad.
Jane. Jane wake up.
Yeah. What's the time?
Eight.
Oh we have to get going!
Where?
I'll explain it all in the car.
No, you'll explain it now please.
Oh I like it when you get all authoritarian on me.
Talk. Where are we going?
Catch Ernie's killer.
How? We don't have anything on Hutten.
Hutten didn't kill Ernie.
He didn't?
Well, he robbed the bank alright, but he was telling the truth when he said he didn't need to shoot anyone. Why would he do that? It's sloppy, not his style.
Jane, I need more than that.
Remember the safe deposit vault was open during the robbery? I just assumed that someone took something from there, but I got it all backwards. They didn't get anything, they put something in there.
What?
You really want me to tell you? It's gonna ruin the surprise.
Yes, I don't like surprises.
Three guesses then. I'll give you a hint? It's not animal, or vegetable.
You know, these shoes are actually quite comfortable. They're growing on me.
Not on me.
No?
I think you know this guy, right?
Teresa, I didn't take you for a gambler.
It's not gambling if you know you're gonna win.
If I don't like what you have to say, you could walk out of this room charged with murder. Do you understand that?
Yes.
Excuse me, can I help you?
There was a man attached to this needle. Have you seen him?
Don't go too easy on him.
No parental advice, thanks.
What you got to complain about? I did my job.
You did your job...
That's right. You're still here. You're a man of respect. Go around all over the places with a legit weapon. You got a handsome son. I did a good job.
You're gonna regret this someday.
What?
Well this, this paperwork. Every night you file it and forget it. You know what it's like? It's like cooking a beautiful meal and putting it straight into refrigerator, forever.
You could help.
No, I couldn't.
[LaRoche enters Lisbon's office]
So, what's your report gonna say?
It will say that agent Risgby acted appropriately and with sound judgment when he used lethal force against Moss. Good work. You got away with it.
Me?
Well I can't make a case, but you chose a remote location for the meeting, you set up a situation in where Moss had to flee. And there, by chance, was Risgby.
Well, I'm flattered. You flatter me, but I can't take credit for that.
Moss didn't have to run, I would have brought him in.
The plan did require Moss to put his own head in the noose. Small gamble Jane had to make to keep everyone's hands clean.
Moss fired his gun!
So you all say. And, of course, Moss can't tell his version. And now Rigsby has taken perfectly legal revenge against the man who killed his father. You think it will effect him?
Well I think it's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do.
Perhaps. I suppose Rigsby will never know. Agent Lisbon, my report will reflect that you made a mistake in calling agent Rigsby on the scene. An error in judgment.
Yes sir, it was.
Yeah, Lisbon didn't call Rigsby. I did.
Jane!
Of course you did. Agent Lisbon, your instincts to protect your team are admirable, and your biggest flaw.
Yes, but we all have our flaws. Don't we, agent LaRoche?
